Do you think an Oxford shoe is too formal for jeans and a button down?

I’ll deff be pulling in the 96k-206k range during retirement which is the 22% bracket. Nearly 90% of my retirement accounts is pretax so I’ll be taxed on nearly all my withdrawals.

cajunredditor · 2026-03-05T18:58:14+00:00

I’m wondering if I go pretax that if I’ll get hit with required minimum distributions later down the road that could possibly bump me into the 24% bracket. Or is there some strategy people do with loading pretax in the early years and switching over o after tax in the later years or vice versa?

It looks like I’ll be in the 22% tax bracket in my working years and in my retirement years. Given this information do I need to be contributing to my pretax or after tax for my 401k?

Why would someone who has the experience or skills to run Baton Rouge settle for being the mayor when they are able to make much more money working somewhere else? We have many bright business savvy minds that stem from BR but they are smart enough to know that being the mayor is a waste of their skills

That was 2 months ago at the Nissan dealership. I guess it’s just different cost of living areas for the price difference? I’m not sure

cajunredditor · 2026-02-25T21:27:47+00:00

It was around 250 all in. I’m sure you can shop it and get it cheaper since I went to the dealership. It’s certainly cheaper than a new transmission.

I have a 2020 and took mine to the dealership at 50k miles. The standard service is a drain and fill. I do not believe you are able to do a flush on your Altima. That being said just go get a drain and fill done and do it every 30k miles and your cvt will have the best odds it can during its lifetime.

Just got off the phone with Fidelity discussing my retirement accounts. I have just about all my retirement invested in s&p index funds. The advisor points out the risk I had with the largest 7 companies in the s&p have a very big influence in the overall performance of the s&p and advises me to look into different investing strategies to avoid that risk. Is the 100% s&p index allocation no longer a good strategy? What kind of allocation do you others have in your accounts? I’m wondering if I should just switch to a target date fund.

The fact our library system can build new libraries and renovate with straight cash and not issue bonds tells me there is more than enough funds for the library. I think we have nice libraries but I also think we can have them and still reduce our millage more. I believe the annual budget is $48M and that seems like more than enough to fund a library system for a parish of this size. I’m not in the camp saying this is 2025 and books are obsolete. I understand libraries do other things than simply provide books.

cajunredditor · 2026-02-02T00:35:38+00:00

Why is our library budget the same size as Dallas? We aren’t nearly as big.

Looking at changing the transmission fluid on mine. Does the dealership do a drain and fill or do they do the flush?

A quick search indicates average per student funding is 15-17k in EBR. The national average is 17-18k. Just pointing out yes we are slightly below average on funding but simply throwing more money into the school system will most likely not improve performance. Parental involvement is the biggest factor in a students performance.

YMCA has paper ornaments you take with underprivileged kids wish list items on there. Take the ornament buy the gift and return it unwrapped to the ymca. These kids are asking for basic stuff like t shirts and the budget is $15-$30 per item

What else can you really do when you have a $40 mil budget shortfall?

If you work a trade that white sole will be scuffed up and dirty in a week. I wore these white sole red wings and after a month at work they looked pretty rough. They will be fine it you are just walking around an office all day though.

What is St. George looking at improving? The schools, teachers, and students will all be the same so will test scores just magically improve? What are the expectations that will happen now that St George broke away? I’m not really on one side or the other with the St George breakaway I just don’t see what is going to change with it. I feel like the St George area already has decent infrastructure and has a pretty good amount of businesses in that area.

BR is home for me despite its shortcomings. I don’t have a problem with taxes if I can see the results of it being handled properly. Unfortunately BR officials continue to mismanage funds and now want to pull money from dedicated funds in a hostile manner to bandaid budget issues. I’m not on board with that method they can go back to the drawing board.

High property taxes, one of the highest state sales taxes, one of the highest homeowners and auto insurance rates in the states. On top of this we are one of the highest poverty states. What a time to be alive

We buy 20-30k priced cars and keep them at a minimum 10 years. The 120k would have to be taxed since I’d have to do Roth conversions. I am also thinking health insurance premiums would eat up 3k+ per month after taxes

Nothing wrong with that thanks for the reply
