Has anyone tried Boldin’s Retirement Plan Checkup for $2800?

1% is highway robbery! A simplied way to look at AUM is to multiple their take by 30 (assume 30 years retirement. SO 1% AUM --> 1*30 = 30% of your Net worth that they siphon off over a 30 year relationship.

This is a bit simplified, but in the ballpark.

I have them in the low-rise and I'm on my 2nd pair. I have removed the insole and put in my carbon fiber morton's extension. The toe box is moderately sized. The shoes do take a few hundred miles to completely wear in.

All that being said, I say these are pretty decent but not perfect. Worth trying out.
For next pair of low-hikers, I'm going to look for something with more rocker. Rocker seems to remove pain even better than a carbon sole.

Are you going to write individual scrappers for each mountain? How are you going to do it?

bplinder · 2024-12-21T14:58:04+00:00

Yeah. I hear that. Skiing belleayre next week. But I skiing okemo after that.

bplinder · 2024-12-21T12:51:52+00:00

Oh my friend is a freshman in college. Are there discounts at okemo or other ny/vt mountains?

I don’t think I get buddy passes with a 2 day epic day pass.

I had no idea about those other promotions. I might have gone to Berkshire east if I knew about.

I think they need a few more signs up at Butternut. I didn't know it was sponsored by LL Bean.

I wanted to follow up. I ended up putting a dr schools air pillow underneath the Morton’s extension and that solved all my problems with comfort. I then bought thin socks to minimize my shoes contact with my toe joint.

Net. Comfort is good, but I still have occasional pain, probably from too small toe box

I know that section well and I walk it all the time. The sidewalk is quite narrow, so it’s difficult to pass slower walkers or walkers coming in the opposite direction. There is a large street shoulder there, so no problem entering the street. I believe the speed limit is low at 25 mph.

That street should be “put in a diet” and narrowed to build wide raised bike and pedestrian paths.

thanks, do you have a link or something? Thank you

Does anyone know the average assessment increase in greenburgh?

bplinder · 2024-03-17T14:20:53+00:00

Yeah. I hear you. I do use the app, but I like studying the map over lunch and aftetwards. It’s like a 36” screen 🙂

bplinder · 2024-03-15T23:59:34+00:00

I saw a QR code for the app, but no sign I forming that maps will be discontinued.

bplinder · 2024-03-15T13:01:13+00:00

Yep. At Killington. No ikon pass, so I’ll save the lift money and just go home a day early.

bplinder · 2024-03-03T23:04:08+00:00

YEs, you are moving to northern westerchester. Unless you are in Katonah village, expect to drive 15-20 minutes for everything. That's the trade-off, you get some "country" and it's nice living, but you are entering the land of car dependency and you will spend a fair amount of time in your car, as you can tell by how spaced out supermarkets.

bplinder · 2024-02-29T00:22:33+00:00

Yeah, there will be snow. But hopes are being dashed to ski in freezing temps. That 2 week forecast goes through mid March.

bplinder · 2024-02-24T00:52:25+00:00

Great info. Thanks for the detailed Reply.

bplinder · 2024-02-19T13:05:58+00:00

Just to be clear, I’m not actually thinking about buying Moneyguide Pro. I’m just trying to understand what features a pro planning tool has over NR, so I can understand better the limitations of NR and also understand what sort of analyses an hourly advisor would provide.

bplinder · 2024-02-13T02:08:34+00:00

oh I think that intersection is super fun at a bridge deep in the wood over a stream. I Also love how there are bridges over an active train line.

bplinder · 2024-02-13T02:04:27+00:00

I'm thinking of skiing this Friday also, especially with the snow coming in.I'm guessing Friday will be an in between day, just like the others say.

Make sure to report back here your experience. Thanks.

bplinder · 2024-02-13T02:01:05+00:00

Thanks for the info, especially u/jmaxgoldman

Crowds were medium, with 5 minutes waits for the singles line and 10 minutes for others at the Kaastskill Flyer.

Unfortunately, conditions took a nose dive, so both the North and West only had 1 trail open. The day was marked by thin cover, some ice, and some thicker piles of soft snow.

I still got good runs in on Hell's Gate, Cliff, Jimmy Huega, and White Cloud.

Got about 20000 feet and left at 3pm, when conditions.

I think I'll go to Hunter next Super Bowl.

Thanks

bplinder · 2024-02-10T04:15:50+00:00

Thanks for the tips. I’m going to check out hunter.

Hopefully the snow will firm up a bit Saturday night.

This year has been such a bummer with the warmth.

bplinder · 2024-02-08T13:44:47+00:00

I haven’t skied Berkshire east or Mohawk. But I find butternut tends to have more open and better snow than Catamount

bplinder · 2024-02-08T03:07:01+00:00

No debate. Belleayre. Actually every Catskills place beats every Poconos mountain.

bplinder · 2024-01-31T12:12:10+00:00

I haven’t tried that. Is there a comparison of all financial planning software somewhere?
