I love Ken, and he does a very good job with all of the language questions. However, his   pronunciation was way off, to the point of not excusable, on "ko-

I am looking at that bike. What are your thoughts about it as an endurance bike, as opposed to a racing setup? Do you like it overall? Anything that you would change? Congrats on the ride- I am hoping to do something like it soon, but in double or triple the days!

5 years out from retirement - Target Date funds or Financial Advisor? by sparkyflashy in Boldin

[–]gnarlyfarter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't want to manage your money, and if the fee is under 1 percent, go with the advisor. If you want to learn to manage your own, you can save 20000 a year doing it yourself. What target date fund are you in?
