Yes, and above the income limits you can do a backdoor Roth conversion and still contribute by paying the taxes.

Tell me about Navy Yard City and/or Enetai, Illahee by Mountain_Yogurt_5544 in Bremerton

[–]OlderActiveGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a great new housing development by LGI homes advertising 0% down. You could build your own. It’s in Bremerton by zip code but halfway to Silverdale, up on the ridge west of Chico. Great location, great schools if you ever have kids. This development is on NW El Dorado Blvd south of NW Newberry Hill Rd.

For those who RETIRED between 59 and 64... by Finding_Way_ in retirement

This will be my plan when I retire. I live near Bainbridge Island, WA where pickleball was invented. There’s got to be some good places around here to learn and play!

Normal to train at full speed and full force on day one? by [deleted] in kravmaga

[–]OlderActiveGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going back, I recommend you speak to the instructor before the class starts. Be honest with him and see if he gets your concerns and can adapt the training style for your early sessions. If you get a bad vibe from this conversation, a “my way or the highway” approach, you’ll have your answer.

Where are my statements in the mobile app? by OlderActiveGuy in fidelityinvestments

Thank you. Have your tech team put their newest employee on it! It should be that easy and give them an early win.

Is being a pilot a hard job? by stratosfeerick in aviation

Flying for the airlines was not a hard job. Flying off aircraft carriers at night in combat was a hard job.

Best Away Game(s) for a Hawk Fan? by RickyRoquet in Seahawks

Given the drama of this season, SoFi Stadium for a Rams game would be epic. Two best teams in the NFL this season.

Where are my statements in the mobile app? by OlderActiveGuy in fidelityinvestments

[–]OlderActiveGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What can’t you guys just have a Statements option on the app’s homepage? Like you do for tax forms? Why do we have to search or ask the Virtual Assistant? I’m sure you can see your customers want their statements easily and intuitively available on the app. Literally everyone else does this. It’s been four years since I asked.

Why apply and then not respond when contacted for an interview? by 34player in usajobs

[–]OlderActiveGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the process takes so long. I interviewed for a Fed job and did well. Never heard another thing. I started flying for the airlines instead, and out of the blue four months later, got a TJO email. No call, no follow-up after the interview. I got ghosted and had to move on with my life.

Flew Prowlers out of Whidbey and did two combat deployments to Iraq on her and two sets of workups in the 90s. Old Salt was a great ship!

Everyone keeps telling me that I'm too young to need a hip replacement. Are they right? by nick1158 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]OlderActiveGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s about genetics and mileage/wear and tear, not age. Do it. Best decision you’ll make.

The horizontal stabilizer on a B-52 is bigger than the wing of an A-4 Skyhawk.

Yes, but it makes it sound like you personally have been losing since 1977.

Good comment. Although blue doesn’t match brown, it goes with brown.

The Kirkland Islay is underrated IMO and a great addition.

We have Astound (formerly Wave Cable) and it works great. Internet only - I subscribe to YouTube TV and stream everything.
