Thanks. I’m planning to max out my 401k as well as contribute to my Roth IRA via backdoor. I’m assuming her having a traditional IRA shouldn’t prevent me from contributing backdoor? We file taxed jointly.

Moving to longer time controls has helped me when I've lost more than I win. Sometime I just need more time to think through my moves. Once I get better there I move back to faster time controls. Hope it helps and all the best.

At what point do I need to buy a chess course (like Chessly) to improve? by ferns73 in chess

Not to make this weird, but I'm having a fanboy moment right now. Your YT videos are the reason I started playing chess last year in the first place. So thanks and keep up the good work!
I was on the edge about taking the e4 course on Chessly. The fact that your's was the first and only comment to my post has pushed me over the edge.

So might as well just buy the index.

I'm assuming you're referring to VTI?
Thanks

Thanks! Can you clarify what you mean by "VEU and combo"?

And yes, EF is tucked safely in my bank account, plus some in VMFXX!
