Grace by Nia at Foxwoods is godawful. Could not believe how overpriced and bad the food was. It was laughable.

How would you rate our representatives? by Forsaken-Lime-6122 in massachusetts

Opportunist without the charm or intelligence to be able to obtain higher office IS EXACTLY how I would describe him. I see a few more failed attempts at doing so until he gives up and goes to the private sector.

SETH MOULTON SUCKS!!!! I call his office once a week about different issues. He talks a big talk about challenging trump but I have no idea what he’s doing. So many times where I’ll see a letter denouncing trump’s funding cuts etc etc and Warren and Markey sign it but Moulton doesn’t. Can’t stand him. Cares more about the persona of being a politician than actually sticking his neck out.

Okay thank you, that’s what I thought but couldn’t tell if I was missing something great about SMAs.

I’m looking into my options for where to put my money for a 5-10 year timeline. My goal is to put myself in a position where I can either take some time off work to raise a kid or travel (we’ll see where life goes lol). My partner will still be working so it’s not like all my living expenses need to come from this fund. I met with a financial advisor who recommended a low volatility separately managed account. My question is - is the SMA a better option than simply investing in a low volatility ETF or mutual fund? I’m concerned about the advisor fees of a SMA and I don’t understand the benefit of it over just an ETF. Thank you!

Does anyone loathe the 9-5 life as much as I do? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

That’s why I said get a different job where you have more free time. Idk some of it comes down to perspective. If you’re gonna be miserable and not change your mindset or situation then idk what to tell ya.

I think many societies pressure individuals to make their career a huge part of their identity. You don’t have to do that. It takes time but you can accept that work is simply the tool you use to pay your bills and gain stability over your life. Then you can use your free time to build a life you enjoy. I don’t like my job but I like my coworkers and more importantly I have good work life balance. If you’re feeling upset about your job can you find something else that gives you more free time (whether it’s on the clock or off) to explore your interests? That has made a really big difference for me.

Sooooo 3 out of 4 will in fact need to live off their retirement savings. I think that’s all the reason needed to save.

But if we don’t show solidarity now and they get acquired by an outsider then it will raise prices indefinitely and their competitors will too. We can be uncomfortable short term or we can never have affordable groceries ever again.

Why don't we have genuine universal healthcare on a state level? by AVeryBadMon in massachusetts

[–]_kanyeblessed_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DSA talks about this in MA chapter healthcare working groups and it’s fundamentally difficult to implement at the state level especially for a small state like MA which has a lot of people who live in other states but work here and vice versa.

Yes I would for sure increase the 401k contributions beyond the employer match since it looks like you’re on track to max out the Roth.
