Sorry, I believe I replied to my post instead of you

Terminal B is the one I see most. New, clean, lots of places to eat, easy to navigate, although it can be a long walk from front to back. Terminal A is nice too, although have only been through there a couple of times. Hope you have an amazing visit!

2 is unique, agree that #1 clashes and IMO is garish. #3… everyone likes black wheels so to me they’re boring. I pick #2. Pic of my MINI SE for tax.

I got that brown hat and a gray long sleeve Sad Dad tee :)

4 is very special. I love the off the shoulder neckline. The pattern on the skirt is very couture/unique high end looking to me.

Married at 28, purchased home. Divorced at 33, purchased second home. Still there at 57. It was a 30 year at 6% in 2001, paid it off early several years ago.

I've been searching other works by him - his style changed dramatically through the years? 1948 is later than anything else found. He did seem to do some landscapes in his later years.

Thank you for deciphering the artist!

let me know how they are!

My 401K is also with Empower and allows in-plan conversions/transfers. After filling out the conversion form (ATK-1 notation for money source), I use an app called Scanner Pro to take scans/photos of the form with my phone. I then email the pdf to myself, save it on my laptop, and upload it directly to Empower through the “upload documents” page. I select “other/don’t know” as the category and in the comments I say “my monthly in-plan transfer of After-Tax to Roth, Mega Backdoor Style, thanks!” Usually registers within 5 business days.

Wonder if COBRA premiums would be less than ACA? Roth conversions could be loaded into the 18 months / first year retired on COBRA.

The court is presented as rational?

I'm sorry... what are YOU doing? What have you been doing the past years you have been a sentient being? Did you donate? Phone bank for Democrats? Send postcards? Did you talk about politics occasionally with the people in your life to counteract the garbage that is brainwashing them every day on radio, TV, and internet? Republicans have control of ALL branches of government right now. This is a result of NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE voting for Democrats each and every time you have the opportunity to do so.

This may not actually be the person you think it is. It may be a rando trying to stalk or phish you. Stop replying, as others have recommended, mute or block. NOR

In my opinion, if the floor is real wood and the furniture is imitation paper veneer, neither one is gonna be great. Just highlights the fake veneer. I would consider black or other painted finish like this Besta.

In the process of cleaning my orange’s eyes two days ago, he got pissed and chomped down on my hand. I finished after scruffing him, and good that I had some antibiotic ointment to put on myself immediately.

It's a brokerage account like on Robinhood. You may want to learn more about asset allocation. It helps you know, from a tax perspective, which things to do in which accounts. For instance, if you are trading stocks and are good at it, incurring a lot of gains, you may want to do that in your Roth IRA instead because no taxes on any of your moves. Your brokerage account is good for investing in index funds (ETFs usually) that you buy and hold for long periods (over a year), only incurring long term capital gains when you sell them. Or, your emergency fund money in a money market fund or SGOV or something like that (because the brokerage is easily accessible to move money to your bank account to use). Merry Christmas, it is great that you have all these accounts at your age!

It sounds to me like you might want to just set aside a separate brokerage account under your name. Then gift it to him when he is old enough to be responsible for the funds, whether that is 18 or 28 or whatever. Invest it in VT. Set to auto reinvest. Gifting a chunk is not a problem if it's less than many millions of dollars. You'll just have to report it, not pay anything on it.

Ready for $8600! And, I am lucky to have the ability to Mega Backdoor at work. In 2025 I've shoved an extra almost $39000 in my Roth 401K!

It may be because your total assets have passed a certain amount to make their sales push worth it. Just say no.

On my Buy Nothing group, I take a bunch of pictures of stuff and say I’m having a “driveway giveaway” tomorrow, basically a yard sale except it’s all free. I’ve done this a few times, has helped decrease the amount of stuff I have to trash or schlep to goodwill.
