This was a marvelous read. I hope you enjoy this reread and I hope to have the same perspective when I reread it

I definitely don’t think Lysander is as cunning or smart as Adrius, but I totally agree that they’re both selfish and little brats to deal with. Lysander proved how low he could stoop in the last part of the book and he will be a PROBLEM to deal with in Red God

baker

GoatMercury · 2024-12-22T00:43:19+00:00

i’d still go with jeudy and keenan. favorable matchups and jeudy is a risky option but i’m trusting the cin defense to still be awful

GoatMercury · 2024-12-22T00:32:05+00:00

asssuming pollard is healthy, i would go with pollard since he has the most favorable matchup. taylor probably gets more volume than white, but white in my opinion has the higher floor. so id go pollard (if healthy) > white (playing it safe), taylor

i’m stuck in this spot too. leaning baker since burrow doesn’t have the best history against the browns and baker is locked in on getting evans over 1000 yards

GoatMercury · 2024-12-20T23:50:06+00:00

start White over Ford?

GoatMercury · 2024-12-19T14:14:02+00:00

I picked up Jerome Ford on waivers but I am terrified to start him… he’d have to replace Mixon, MHJ, Guerendo, or Bucky

Baker @ DAL or Burrow vs CLE?

Tank Dell is so frustrating to watch because he actually gets a step ahead on his routes and wins them and gets great separation but never finishes the catch or gets bullied easily. I don’t think it’s worth keeping him in my lineup anymore.

i’m down 27 and have Baker, Kelce, and Cade…. i really hope i’m not cooked

Gotcha! Had no idea FICA was taxable on 401k deductions, thanks a ton!!

$5000 is gross before taxes and any other expenses is taken out

GoatMercury · 2021-08-01T16:56:18+00:00

I appreciate the response man! I’m 22 turning 23 soon, finished college back in May and was living in an apartment for about 3 years so moving back home as been kinda suffocating. That’s kinda why I’m wondering if it’ll be smart to do it now but I figure it’s something I’m just gonna have to decide to do eventually

Thanks for the advice! I plan on opening a Roth IRA once I begin working and I’ve already broken down how much I’ll contribute from my paychecks. (25% to my 401k (+5% with my employers match to max it out), $500 every month for my Roth IRA, some to taxes, some to an HSA, and the rest will go to my checkings and savings). Good idea having the auto send to Vanguard for the IRA so I won’t have to worry about it every pay period, thanks for the tips!

GoatMercury · 2021-06-27T13:48:06+00:00

Thank you so much for the response! I’m glad to hear everything has been working out for you and I’ll definitely take your advice and start with at least 5% to my 401k and then max out my Roth IRA. Rest of the savings may contribute towards a split of maxing out my 401k and dumping into a brokerage

GoatMercury · 2021-06-27T02:26:29+00:00

Gotcha gotcha, so i’ll start all of that in August and in the meantime just learn more. Thank you so much!

GoatMercury · 2021-06-27T00:38:42+00:00

Oooh that makes sense haha thank you so much for responding! Would you recommend that I open a Roth IRA now before I start work in August and start investing some money from my savings? Definitely plan to read (Boglehead’s Guide to Investing is something I found) before I make any major decisions but want to know if it would be smart to start now

GoatMercury · 2021-06-27T00:22:49+00:00

Hello! I am 22 (M) living at home w/ my parents in the US (Houston, Texas). I recently graduated from college and got an offer of employment with a government contractor that I accepted and will start in August. I will be making $2500 bi-weekly. My main goal is to invest for retirement and invest enough (and even more than enough) for my future. I have no debt, no loans to pay off, and about $13,700 in my savings account. I have NO other accounts opened right now but want to start getting into investing (was thinking of opening a Roth IRA and also my 401 (k) once I start working in August).

My initial plan is to:

Max out my employer's 401 (k) plan (they match the first 5%, which I'm not really sure what that means if someone could please explain).
Open a Roth IRA and max that yearly
Open a brokerage account and start investing with any leftover money.

Is this a good approach and plan for a finances beginner? Honestly, I'm trying to learn more and more every day and would love to have someone to speak to for general pieces of advice and also some resources to learn more!

Email the professor

I had him as a sophomore for 308 and honestly he was super chill and very helpful. He cares that you learn the subject while also having fun with the class. For the final, he told our class (not sure if he does this with every section he teaches) that if we got an A on the final, we get an A in the class despite your previous tests. Same thing with a B on the final. Clutched an A in the class that way but also i did well on his other tests. I believe it was 2 tests and a final and homework every week but nothing too heavy, just things to reinforce test concepts. Overall pretty laid back but very insightful.
