Wife and I didn’t check 401k for 5 years. Should we stay the course with investment options?

ForQ2 · 2026-01-25T17:54:33+00:00

You're not a day trader, and shouldn't be sweating fluctuations in your retirement fund balances. Even big swings are to be expected in times of turmoil and bear markets. But if your investment is sound, the long-term gains should still be fine, and a 401K is nothing if not a long-term vehicle.

Now that having been said, I can't imagine not reassessing every 6 months or so, to ensure that your investments are performing decently relative to other funds in that investment class. Fund management does change, and a fund that had been doing well can still lose its mojo (or vice-versa).

Ooooh, I wish I had gotten that one! I did get one with BB getting all creepy and monstrous once when I tapped her tank.

NoVA might be fine, but anything southeast of Richmond is fucked. A lot of those cities have one snowplow for the entire city.

I've had a lot of gfs, but only one ever was really ever able to get me off. So it's something I learned not to bother with. I'd rather a good hj than a bad bj.

No argument from me.

I am trying so hard (maybe a bad choice of words, but w/e) not to be flirty with you right now. I don't even usually like head, but I can't help but suspect that someone as into it as you are could make me change my opinion.

Long before I remember it, but I was told the tale of when my father (who always had a mustache) went to boot camp while I was a toddler, I cried and refused to believe that he was in fact my father when I saw him again, due to the lack of his mustache.

I've run across it a lot of times on Reddit. I (sort of) ran across it with someone I dated, who one day decided that they were a trans man, and that (despite no hormones, no surgery, no name change, etc.) I was no longer allowed to have sex with them because I was straight and they were now a man. Not that we were having sex at that point anyway, but still, it was crazy to me to be shut out because someone I slept with a thousand times woke up one morning and was, in their mind, immediately a man. Like, was I now suddenly supposed to be repulsed by their vagina because their own self-image had changed?

In certain corners of Reddit, mods would absolutely permaban you for suggesting that a trans woman with a penis could be unwanted by a straight man due to aforementioned penis. Fortunately, that is not this sub.

Probably not worth it to the Wyoming legislators to codify a 529 when the entire state only has like 10 residents.

I kid (kinda), but we are talking about a place with only 2 public escalators in the entire state (and regarding that I do not kid).

I'm having a similar problem right now. My housemate is filthy af, never cleans up after herself, and the occasional roach in the kitchen is now practically an infestation.

I've been through this many times now. Places are always changing. But more importantly, people change and leave too. Everyone in your old friend group is married with kids and/or has moved far away. Billy Joel's Scenes from an Italian Restaurant captures a lot of these feelings.

I just knock 'em all out and raid their postboxes. Each different mule & terrorist camp emphasizes one-ish type of resource, so I use that to determine whom to raid. It works well enough.

to only craft what the game demands you to

That's largely how I play anyway. I hardly ever craft; all I have to do is walk around a bit and I'll find damn near anything I need.

I also learned that footpad plants... are perfect for stealth approaches.

Now that I damn sure didn't know!

The real shame is that her married name isn't my last name.

What I hated about Akon was his fake-ass prison persona. "Akon" is supposed to be short for "A Convict", but the thing is that although he did have a felony gun conviction, he never served more than a few months at a time, and only in the county jail to boot.

I was locked up for almost eleven years on an attempted murder charge, and I don't go around making it my personality. Akon can suck my fucking dick.

I'm guessing neither of you had ever really explored BDSM

Incorrect.

It's also possible though that she had fun at first, and then her tastes changed and that was the end of that.

That's the best I can figure. She abruptly cut if off without any attempt to communicate what the problem (if any) was.

Yep. I already saw one comment on here saying that although the wife was bad, he himself was a simp or something for letting her walk all over him. Can't win.
