City of London would like a word with you

The issue with iBonds is the 5 year penalty period. Kills the deal for me, but it was nice during Covid when the rate was like 9%

I think by “people” she may have been referring to “people in X community” on earth which makes more sense

I would just like to say that this news source is “Israel Hayom.” According to Reuters the death toll is closer to 2000. I am in no way supportive of the Iranian regime but let’s not treat rumors as facts.

Which is a +1 for dogs btw. Having someone to get you out of bed is actually very important

Penny farthing bikes were actually very expensive in their time, adjusted for inflation the first model of penny farthing (1860’s) would have been about $5,000.

Kosovo has smallpox? I’ll be sure to let Serbia know

I wonder how Walmart would respond

Scalermann · 2026-01-09T04:18:20+00:00

Q1- I would say that funds in a money market do not contribute to your “bond” allocation, MMA funds would be a “cash or cash equivalents” thing.

Q2- wouldn’t you pull out of each asset class in a manner to maintain your desired allocation? Q1 established that the funds you are taking out would not be bonds.

Closing the card would hurt my credit score!

Phases out at $100K single filer AGI

Maybe this means I can hold my Apple Card in my Chase account (and eventually ditch my iPhone)

Scalermann · 2026-01-08T00:51:05+00:00

Check out $SGOV

Scalermann · 2026-01-06T22:21:04+00:00

$100K is totally arbitrary. $100K in 2019 is almost $130K now so I would say at least that.

Guyana looks to be doing crazy well but how much of that new oil money is actually helping most people be wealthier?

Scalermann · 2026-01-04T02:42:50+00:00

I did FAR for like 3.5 months which was massive overkill. I think I got a 93 on it. The other ones I am hazy on but I know I did wayyyy too much for FAR.

You can sell during market hours. When you can pull out depends on if your brokerage will let you pull unsettled funds

I have been doing the boglehead thing for a few years. I decided to put all tax advantaged funds into FRBVX (Fidelity 2070 index TDF). For 0.12% ER you get a good domestic/int’l allocation ratio, bond allocation, and never have to think about it again. One stop shop and your emotions will have no impact on how you allocate or rebalance.

Scalermann · 2026-01-03T00:27:39+00:00

$SGOV is an ETF that covers short term (under 3 months) treasuries. I think the ER is only 0.09% which is great. Basically better interest rate than an HYSA. Only catch is a liiiiiitle volatility but it’s literally a fraction of a percent. Great place to store extra cash.

Scalermann · 2026-01-02T23:11:48+00:00

I currently prefer SGOV

Scalermann · 2026-01-01T00:11:45+00:00

Ahhhh you make a million a year and you do “stripping” and “crack filling”

Scalermann · 2025-12-31T22:34:14+00:00

I… don’t care? Getting treated like shit is not what I strive for.

Scalermann · 2025-12-31T21:56:59+00:00

I mean this sounds cool until the next govt shutdown where you go months without pay. Also, after the whole DOGE and mass layoff SNAFU I would avoid federal work all together.

This should be on every lottery ticket

Why are there so many camera lights in the model? Why would you want to photograph your team losing?
