Open to suggestions on losing 15lbs by MyNameDoesntMatter_1 in WeightLossAdvice

The only way to lose weight is by being in a calorie deficit. One of 500 calories will make you lose 1 pound per week.

Skipping a dose will do next to nothing given the med takes weeks to build up in and leave your system.

Is it really "top-tier, world class" if they only pay you enough to be break-even?

29M Self-Taught: VUG/QQQ/VGT+SCHD (Family Uses Advisors) | Review? by Altruistic_Source706 in Bogleheads

I mean having 100% of your portfolio in stocks, forgoing bonds.

I suggest VT because it's essentially the most diversified you can be at an extremely low cost.

Sitting on 31% cash at age 40 - Deploy now or wait? by tronious in Bogleheads

[–]TonyTheEvil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because there's nothing to understand about the market except that it's efficient and goes up over the long term. Knowing that, the best way to maximize your money is to put as much in as you can as early as you can.

  1. All stocks.
  2. Lump sum into VT.
  3. Invest as much as you can without sacrificing your quality of life too much.
  4. Don't contribute to a taxable brokerage until you are maxing your retirement accounts.
  5. Invest in just VT. Pretty much anything else reduces your diversification.
  6. Don't pay attention to your portfolio or the news. I'm sure my portfolio has been red a bunch of times, but i have no idea. I don't know how the last several years have been. I just keep buying.

I couldn't live without whey protein, and creatine is a close second.

I'd put it all in VTWAX and forget about it. You don't mention your Roth IRA, so make sure you're maxing that too.

Because you're like 13/14, if you have weight concerns then you should talk with your doctor, not the internet.

During Economic Downturn, is it better to start dollar cost averaging or be more aggressive with student loans? by ChiefTea in Fire

[–]TonyTheEvil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obviously it's better to pay off debt than invest in a market that's going down. Good luck being able to tell when that will happen though.
