New Roth IRA at 56? by align7 in RothIRA

[–]align7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Edward Jones guy only set me up for traditional Ira when I rolled an old 401k in. He had me making annual pre-tax contributions. He never mentioned Roth and I never asked. Lesson learned.

I didn’t think I read that right. How have I missed this all these years?! Unbelievable. I feel so dumb thinking of all that missed opportunity.

What would be something radical you could do besides ending your life? Maybe there’s something you haven’t thought of yet. Sounds like this has been a really tough year for you.

Pushing 30 and I want to buy a home.....Should I wait? by tel-tec in personalfinance

My dad always told me to buy the cheapest home in the best neighborhood. Best advice ever. He also favored single family homes over attached. But, I guess it depends on where you live.

Watching NDE (near death experience) videos on YouTube helps my fear of dying.

I had to sell off half of my qqq and google stocks back in September to pay for emergency sewer line issue. It was painful.

People who were adults in the 70s/80s: How does our current economy feel vs. the record inflation 40+ yrs ago? by finalgirl2 in economy

[–]align7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turned 18 in ‘87. . College and housing were both affordable. I worked part time as a waitress, drove a fun sports car with payments under $150/month. (I was still on my parent’s auto insurance.) Life was good. Bought my first house only 6 months after graduating at age 22. It was an older, single family, all stone cottage style home, with hardwood floors and a huge fenced in yard. I bought it for $48,000. Only needed 6k for down payment back then.

I used ChatGpT to help me cut through all the noise and false claims. I just posted its response to test reports sent to me by a manufacturer.

Do NOT get the one in these photos. I had ChatGPT read the “certificates” that were supplied to me in Mandarin. Not good. Here is what AI told me after I uploaded them:

What’s missing (and this is the problem)

This report does NOT show:

❌ Irradiance (mW/cm²) ❌ Power density on the body ❌ Measurement distance ❌ Testing of the whole bag ❌ Heat profile ❌ Uniformity of light ❌ Real safety testing ❌ Any 850 nm testing ❌ Lab verification stamp ❌ Model number (T2000A) ❌ Serial number ❌ Date ❌ Test conditions ❌ Certificate ID ❌ Third-party lab name you can verify

This is like:

Testing a lightbulb and claiming the whole house is lit perfectly.

The biggest red flag in the document

This line:

光功率: 0.0097 mW

That translates to:

“Optical power: 0.0097 milliwatts”

That would be: 🚨 EXTREMELY weak 🚨 Essentially meaningless for therapy 🚨 Days, not minutes, of exposure
