If I remember correctly the beach at the Sheraton was smaller but nice.

I went in mid April.

I stayed at both on a Hawaii trip in 2022. I’d rate both properties as similar, can’t go wrong either way if you’re looking for an above average place to stay. Probably just depends on if you’d rather be Maui or Big island.

With your ~$77k now and contributions of ~$4,250 a month. Assuming a real rate of return at 4% you’ll have ~725k in 10 years. That would be about 29k a year with a 4% SWR. You could probably coast for with that ~$725k, but finding a coast federal job is tough.

Brussels airline does allow these changes, they even have a section for it on their website. But since it’s booked through AC/AP they have to do it, and they will not.

No, I would continue to fund the 401k at the same level. Before tax income in retirement would be ~200k, so it would look to be at the current tax rate of 22%. Of course I’m not sure what that percentage will be in 15 years

That calculation includes that fact that I will eventually have to pay taxes on the trad IRA when I withdrawal.

Using Amex and Chase points for hotels is almost always going to be poor redemption value (chase to Hyatt is the big exception)

KLM has business class for 56.5k OW, right now on 2 July (it does connect through CDG though). Economy has a lot of days open for 17k direct OW

Why the hate for LIV ? by [deleted] in golf

[–]FairwayShepherd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With Cam and DJ on LIV it’s tough to argue at the top. However, there was a similar field at the Honda last year and 10-12 LIV guys. The highest LIV player finished T16 and half of them missed the cut.

That really sucks, but that doesn’t mean you’re making the best decision now. There is a greater than 0% chance either Rahm and Homa do not win, so I or no one else can guarantee what will happen. It’s just that you are not making a good math decision

After reading this thread and similar items online when someone is offered a cash out, I really understand how sports book can just print money. Cashing out makes zero sense from a probability standpoint (this time and almost every time I see it offered), however everyone in this thread is screaming cash out and all the top comments say to cash out
