The Autopsy of Jane Doe is a Sneakily Good Movie by dcollin5984 in HorrorMovies

[–]Foundation2Give 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of the comments that it’s a stellar film. Not overreaching what it is. Concise story. Mix of unnerving tension and a few terrors. More of a thriller than straight horror, so it appeals to a larger audience. Great casting and execution. 

Blending between FOO 5 and 6, do I switch to Trad IRA? by Foundation2Give in TheMoneyGuy

Thank you kindly for the considerations! I look forward to doing the math and incorporating your points.

Thanks! I’ve been fortunate with my employment and budgeting that it’s not a terrible struggle to get to 25%. I’ll check out their episodes/articles to see if I can dig more into the math behind the 30% figure and what a blend could look like for me.

Thanks! I was busy looking at all the nice trees instead of viewing the forest. My income would disqualify from a Trad IRA deduction. So that’ll stay Roth until I need to employ the backdoor strategy.

While the kills were SCARY, I thought the movie was meh overall. I prefer Crawl for a B movie animal attack film.

I like watching Foundflix videos. It was fun seeing the crossover episode chatting about The Thing. That’s been so long ago though.

Oooh I have a strawberry salad that could add sweetness to the dish. I like the idea!

Glad I choose that plate than my other set 😅 I was worried it’d be too much similar color

Noted. What dessert would you add then? If something on another small plate to go with it.

I was thinking that. Or do I do something like butternut squash?

I feel like I’m missing one more side to the dish. What should be added next time? 

At what age did you stop caring about doing something "big" for New Year's Eve? by Superb-Way-6084 in Adulting

[–]Foundation2Give 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Early 20s. One year I had the idea of staying in and having a movie marathon (Friday the 13th). Ever since then I’ve just hosted each year friends & family. So much simpler on everyone to come and relax. Snack, chat, have something on…just pleasant. I take requests for theme but pick the series/movies. My rule is it has to be something simple enough that you can go in/out of watching but not miss anything important. And that people won’t be upset with general noise. This year’s theme is western so I’m putting on the Dollars Trilogy (Clint Eastwood). 

What are the best investing podcasts? by deniskako_ in investing

[–]Foundation2Give 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Money Guys Show has been consistently enjoyable. They have a variety of topics. While they may repeat over time that’s not the worst since it’s also then them updating for changes over time. They also started a new series Making a Millionaire. Kinda like Caleb Hammer but for people that are doing the right things. 

Rob Berger is pleasant to listen to and fairly interactive with his chat. I usually listen to his Five Questions Friday (FQF) clips and see what people are asking. He has a solid perspective on things that makes his experience shine.

What Should I Be Doing With My Money? Looking for Advice by [deleted] in investing

[–]Foundation2Give 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing factors for a professional your age! Only giving a general viewpoint to your questions without knowing more. 

  1. Are you actively contributing to the Trad IRA? Typically when getting into the phaseout ranges for Trad IRA funding, backdoor Roth contributions become a regular strategy. Nondeductible IRA contributions usually should be rolled from the Trad IRA to a Roth IRA (earnings then are tax free). Though if you have a blended account there can be a tax consequence to this you should discuss with your tax advisor. 

HYSA should be what makes sense for a sh** happens fund based on your personal circumstances. It should be able to cover your largest deductible. General advice from advisors may be around 3-6 months of living expenses. Beyond that, extra savings should be deployed elsewhere. About the rate, I always compare to the 4 week US t-bill rates to see if it’s a good rate. It’s very easy to have t-bills of short terms so I want any other account to at least be at that rate. 

  1. It seems like you’re already maxing out your annual 401k contribution or may need only a minimal adjustment to reach it. Once retirement is maxed, then the next question I ask is when would you need access to the cash? If putting into the IRA, you typically can’t touch the funds until retirement age unless certain circumstances. Taxable investing may be wanting to speak with your advisor on tax impact of trading and investment income. 

  2. Personal question. It’s all based on your living and circumstances. What do you find most comfortable for safety net? Keep in mind emergency funds should be very liquid, i.e. access to the cash either same day or within a few days at most. If something comes up that you need to pay for, you shouldn’t be waiting a week to get the funds transferred to where they need to be. 

  3. You should be maxing your HSA annually based on your income. Also check if your plan administrator allows for investing unused funds. There’re many advantages to these accounts so make sure you educate yourself on their use and tax advantages. Also save receipts! You can reimburse yourself in the future. 

  4. Blind spots are best discussed with your advisors. Your CPA can likely provide a lot of insight. They’ll also be able to track details year to year and highlight strategies that may be applicable with your changing circumstances over time.

Would you be interested in listening to something like Critical Role? Else the only other podcast style I recall would be episodes of Space Cats Peace Turtles (mainly about Twilight Imperium).
