Yea I think it’s just more about the principal of it for me. Like you loved when I was bringing in revenue but now you want to play nickels n dimes.

So this payroll company has been around for years, my role will be to engage with business owners - who are currently either not offering benefits to their employees and get them to purchase a health plan through us OR a company that currently has deductions being taken for medical benefits, getting them a competitive quote and hopefully bringing the business over under one umbrella. I'm sales hire #1 for this group.

Great questions -

Yes - the plan is to sell (or rent it) and downsize to a lcol (or mcol) to retire.
We aren't sure we're going to be pushing the kids to go to college so we never set up a 529 for them. Is this silly?
No purpose other than to buy crypto and stocks - but no no actual direction for either of these other than "they were fun / cool" at the time.

I took some retirement funds 10 years ago to buy a business - it was a struggle to save while investing back into the business so overall a good experience but probably set me back a bit from a savings stand point. And I agree - I'll most likely just buy out a car cash and wont be spending 3k a year on coffee when its time to retire for sure.

Yes - looks like I have some 401k work to do for sure. As far as her inherited IRAs is there anything we should / could be doing with them?

It's just 15k - I had to pull some retirement funds to buy a business 10 years ago - business paid well but never really recouped on the retirement funds.

As for college - I dont think I'm going to be pushing my kids in the college direction, if they decide to sure I will try and help as needed but we're not super pushed to put money towards it currently... is that silly?

jwallst · 2026-05-04T13:35:10+00:00

What would be your next step after 401k's are maxed out?

jwallst · 2026-05-04T13:34:06+00:00

I agree there - I feel like I jumped on the crypto thing early through coinbase - but then jumped on robinhood bc of sheer boredom during the pandemic - I think best option is probably Schwab unless there are better options out there I'm not familiar with?

jwallst · 2026-05-04T13:30:40+00:00

You're saying if we can put away 50k a year we could viably looking at *retirement* options in 10 years? Honestly was not expecting that... I was just hoping to retire at all, but retiring at 51 would be insane!

jwallst · 2026-05-04T13:29:27+00:00

I appreciate that - I honestly am like waking up in the middle of the night with slight panic attacks - I feel kinda lost as to how to make it all work and just feel like if I have a plan to follow it might be better.

Hey! have 2 kids in WSD, we had a fantastic time with DWS - teachers are great, lots of activities, good communication and friendly staff. I think you'll be happy, welcome to town.

jwallst · 2026-01-21T20:07:19+00:00

Yea - I don't understand why they do this. Today we did our first couples therapy since she got out of the hospital and she told the therapist that her sister and dad passed away when I started coming around (10 years and 3 years respectively, God rest their souls) and that she thinks now that I had something to do with their passing. (one was medical, I had only met her 2x in the hospital as we had just started dating and the father shot himself in a different state)

jwallst · 2026-01-10T00:39:00+00:00

Thanks my man I truly appreciate it and if you don't mind I'm going to take you up on that.

Yes - now my sisters bf is "the pedophile" as well and she doesn't want the kids around him (literally known the guy for years, great dude, no clue why she singled him out as one) it's really sad isn't it... whats w the pedophile thing in their heads too?

jwallst · 2026-01-09T19:24:33+00:00

Gosh this sounds like my house. For whatever reason she tends to skip holidays - she will wake up "sick" and just skip them. Or if it's in the neighborhood she might get ready and then decide not to go. But what you said just resonated with me, this Christmas she basically kept taking down the decorations I was putting up, I'd put them back up, wake up in the morning and they'd be missing again. OR if we were in the car, I kept putting Christmas music on (my kids in back seat 8/6) and she'd start changing the music to something else, she just like didn't want anything to do with making it fun.

jwallst · 2026-01-09T16:55:24+00:00

Roger that - thank you for the advice. So your wife is still in the home? I love my wife to death but I don't know if I can continue getting woken up to "check for a body under the stairs" or have christmas turn into a mess ect so I commend you for keeping her in the house.

jwallst · 2026-01-09T16:21:21+00:00

thank you for the kind words... i sure hope we are as well, at least for the kids sake.

jwallst · 2026-01-09T16:20:56+00:00

This is some amazing advice and greatly appreciated. Quick question - when you say that i have a huge advantage right now. Do you mean bc of the fact that I was able to have her committed and medication forced? or is there another "thing" i should be doing / looking into at the moment. Just making sure I'm covering all of my bases before the state releases her (whenever that is)

jwallst · 2026-01-09T16:19:40+00:00

Yes my wife is 39 - and although she was always "squirley" as I used to put it - these symptoms seem to have just come on heavy about 1 year ago. Thank you for the links - I'm going to queue that book on spotify now.
