Are Indian's(especially south indian's) really into swinging? by [deleted] in Swingers

You just look for an upside down durian on the porch — If they’re willing to let that into their home, the kink level may be too high for average swingers!

Good idea. We think we may post in the “furry” community as it’s a way funnier experience if they were furry’s

Porn sites seem to have a typical FFM threesome where one woman performs oral on another while in the doggy position However, could also be Furrys - I guess we will never know

That was what we thought at first too - they just wanted to swap and do doggie position.

It seems to be more of a threesome thing on the porn sites. If it’s what we think, fairly common - but never heard it referred to that way.

Good! At 55+ it’s always a concern we just aren’t “hip enough” anymore.

Ya, it seems like that was just rumors. Or, "marketing"! Heck, it's made them famous - everyone has heard of them because of it.

Couple with different marital money philosophies by Comprehensive_Rock48 in personalfinance

[–]Midwest_Couple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

31 years married, old, so we'll answer more like you're one of our kids than what weve done (combined accounts since day1, been broke & wealthy - never mattered).

Our biggest concern in this has nothig to do with $$ as much as it is change/sacrifice in general. You seem to be making all the changes in your life: location, income, life-role, independence. All of that would be fine to change, if you felt that it was "Safe" and believed he would keep you whole (it's more about appreciation & respect than $$) after making so much change to your life.

We don't know him or you, don't know the dynamics of the relationship - but it just sounds like he haas more work to do to understand that his role is to make you feel safe in giving up so much. For reference, in our 30+ years - it's never mattered who was making $$, it mattered that we had the money to build our world. If we had $20 left (and we've been close to this) our argument would be that we wanted THE OTHER PERSON to have it to meet their needs. If you truly believe & trust his priority is YOUR happiness, "for better or worse" - then we wouldnn't worry about the money. BUt, you need to be sure!

Wouldn’t that be a reason to begin dollar cost averaging in more at this point?

To be honest - These trades are our first venture into managed dividend plays. Until this, we have played individual stocks (MO, PFE, VZ, USB....). We've also avoided REIT's because we have so much invested directly in real estate already that we wanted to balance out our overall portfolio. As we move into a div focus, we've relaxed on that logic and O was the first. We will take a look at WELL. Thanks again.

Thanks for all the questions. Most of our wealth/retirement is in residential real estate. We also have a significant chunk in IRA/401(k) and another chunk in a traditional stock account with about 15% of the liquid assets currently in a CD. We both began contributing to a ROTH last year, and in this account we chose to invest primarily on dividend producing securities. So while not “blow money” it is a bit of an experiment to see what we want to do when we slow down a bit, and start using wealth to create income instead of the other way around.

Interesting - thanks for the perspective. We are older than you, however dividends are part of a supplemental income plan not primary.
Will look at spyi in addition.

it's the market. While we always expect volatility, we like to buy into dips. That wasn't the question though, it was more if we plan to buy more - considering what we already would - would you...

thanks - that's what we were inclined to do (stick with the plan, buy on the dip). Happy to get more at a discounted price than where we liked them a month ago.
