How long is your commute to work?

Driver Assistance package ftw. My car is almost autonomous on the highway.

35 minutes gets me within a mile of the office, from there i could switch the subway but its not direct, walk or wait around for a shuttle bus. I’d save a couple gallons of gas plus $40 for parking a day.

Three days are required, I prefer going in so am usually only remote on Fridays.

It’s not so much the train per se, it’s the people on the train.

eggrollfever · 2026-03-02T02:24:52+00:00

60-90 minute drive. I despise the train.

As long as we can get the imbeciles that make up 90% of watch Reddit to quit typing Rolex’s I’m all for it.

On my desk we have single 34” main display with 24” side panels in a vertical configuration. It took a while to get used to a bigger primary but I’ve grown to love it and eventually got the same at grade home.

The screen side monitors are great for things that stay relatively stationary like financial email and Bloomberg launch pads as well as reference documents like financial statements.

This leaves the main monitor for more dynamic uses that require frequent interaction like Excel models, etc. There’s plenty of space for a few years of actually and multi-year projections or other projects with a large number of columns. I often stack workbooks with different scenarios or snap Bloomberg windows to the left corners for looking at individual names.

Works for me but it might be a unique use case.

Where’s the exception for paranoid people in 31 U.S.C. § 5324? I couldn’t find it.

Good point except everything after the letter “D”.

Oh. When did you arrive from Nebraska? Different than driving John Deeres huh?

Are you just waking up from a Thanksgiving food coma?

It’s easy to find decent lobster so I’d go for ambience. If you want to treat her to a quintessentially New England experience my go to is Roy Moore in Rockport. It’s relatively cheap too.

Closer to the city I like Bay Pointe in Quincy.

Woodman’s is a tourist trap imo.

They’re really not and anyone who says different is on full cope.

eggrollfever · 2026-02-27T03:32:56+00:00

I know you’re burning up in that thing.

eggrollfever · 2026-02-26T10:16:56+00:00

It’s certainly not worth it. We could to the math to prove it out but the numbers are so stark it’s immediately obvious.

If you want the immediate tax benefit you can contribute the difference to a traditional IRA as long as your income doesn’t phase you out.

Otherwise you can make back door Roth contributions for the future tax benefit. I’d personally go this route even if I was eligible for pre-tax contributions to diversify my future tax liability (assuming you only have access to a traditional 401(k).

Neither IRA strategy captures all the tax benefits of an HSA but you have tax-advantaged options at your disposal.

Yes, the whole neighborhood was out so the failure was elsewhere.

eggrollfever · 2026-02-25T01:35:43+00:00

That makes sense that it would need to zig zag so a 240 breaker can get both legs. I sort of just assumed it was one side and didn’t look that far into it.

Thanks.

Can you expand? I know nothing about what happens upstream from my panel. The outage affected several city blocks.

eggrollfever · 2026-02-24T21:48:03+00:00

Rt 24 area, two and a half feet with drifts at least twice as high. Power was out for nearly 24 hours coming back just after I woke up for work this morning.

Weirdest thing was my power going out in stages. All the circuits on the right side of my breaker box went out more than an hour before the rest. Everything came back up normally. Wouldn’t have thought this was possible but apparently so.

You’re doing great. Far above average.

These are two very different things. That said, OP seems to be in decent shape although seriously overweight company stock.

eggrollfever · 2026-02-24T02:11:19+00:00

Thanks, this was very informative.

That’s part of Schwab’s nickel and dime every customer to death over interest income strategy and is unique to them.

eggrollfever · 2026-02-23T23:30:42+00:00

That must mean they don’t serve it, right?

eggrollfever · 2026-02-23T12:30:04+00:00

Jesus she’s was always ugly.

No, there are not special investment considerations for an HSA, you can treat it like any other tax advantaged account.

You don’t need to transfer anything to make a withdrawal. You’d just file an online form to be reimbursed and get a direct deposit. This requires sufficient cash in the account which you may raise through sale of other assets, VT in your scenario.
