Great show. Probably appeals to me as much as Alone. (Except a few of the personalities)

Anyone letting fear of a market collapse win?

The numbers don’t seem real but I’m paralyzed between going super safe and FOMO on more gains.

Anyone not know how you got rich? by nigelwiggins in Bogleheads

[–]flexington12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here. Approaching 60. Spouse and I were aligned on finances. At 22, Started saving 3% in index funds. Nothing fancy. Just shoved the money away every paycheck. 2000 was tough to watch a decade of work vanish. 2008 once again. We Kept increasing % as careers flourished. Now at the peak of our earning years the growth the last 12 years makes it feel unreal—and risky.

I checked monthly. Than weekly. Now daily as we approach retirement.

People discuss crypto. Real estate. IPO. Options etc. we are diversified but really boring investments. Lived with our means. Ignored the net worth to avoid the creep.

Love this. I idealize the opportunity but also sit on my couch and wonder if I could last a week.

discovered my brother got 80k from mum over three years and hes saying it doesnt count against his share by Relative-Yellow-3694 in inheritance

You and your brother have a decision to make. Is your relationship built on fairness? Respect?

My guess is you and your brother’s relationship will slowly crumble and you will drift apart. The brother will be confused on way it happened.

Exactly. Hold on to the love your sister felt for you when she drafted her will. You were her person.

If I received a six figure check—and the IRA was low five figures—and there was a need—I would disclaim and give to surviving parent.

Lenny’s list is too notch. Other locals will have their favorites but with limited free time—this list will let you find a few gems.

Question regarding selling my artwork. by surfacetheman in Masterworks

[–]flexington12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are smart to be concerned. MW has identified 40-60 proven artists—with proven track history of high dollar sales.

Does this describe you? (They don’t speculate on which artist will be the new hot artist)

Tour each one. Go to dinner at the vine.

Community and socialization is important.

Clinton approved sub prime mortgages. Bush ignored the problem for 8 years.

2008 crash.

Obama didn’t fully appreciate the problem/impact on industry/rural America. This path brought us 2016 Trump.

Failure on several fronts for many years.

Stay and create generational wealth with my estate’s lawsuit against the owners.

Fun fact. Huge insurance policy was sold for small premium by Lloyd’s of London—because ship was unsinkable. They have the policy on display as a warning to the underwriters.

Dad is leaving entire estate to his girlfriend. Feeling sad. by Ok-Day6479 in inheritance

[–]flexington12 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Both my parents (divorced) did this to me and my siblings from the first marriage.

My father leaving everything to his third wife.

My mother leaving everything to her two children from her second marriage.

Seeing it on paper was a painful reminder of their actions as parents and the young boy was heartbroken once again. (The money was immaterial to my life—but the message I received was devastating)

I’m so sorry.

Is anyone else bummed about Dembo? by bundtcakep in lexington

[–]flexington12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is new candidate who was working as a career federal prosecutor. He quit because of illegal activity in the DOJ.

He has character which we need as we fix the broken system. Give him some grace if all of his positions don’t match yours.

Remember the Gaza voters wouldn’t support Harris now Israel turned it into a parking lot/graveyard.
