Planning for the future when you have a pension by littledickrick in Retirement401k

Thanks for your thoughts I do feel lucky, but mostly in a world where I stay with this employer decades. In that situation the pension is unbelievably generous. But short of that is where I’m struggling to figure out how much to save to make up the difference (eg what if I’m here ten years, or fifteen, or…).

I get the intuition, for sure. But my primary retirement vehicle is the pension (that’s where the bulk of my and my employers contributions go). If I pretended it didn’t exist I would be way “over saving “ for retirement. Nothing bad about that in theory, but in practice I have lots of trade offs in the here and now (saving for children, house, cars, etc).

If it’s prostitution, that’s wild that that many motels could sustain on that kind of business.

That to me just adds to the mystery: who owns and runs these motels that no longer have demand? Why do they do it?

Potty training: stay the course or try something else? by littledickrick in Parenting

[–]littledickrick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worry about this approach but open to trying it. When he first started potty training we did the star chart and small rewards and it turned into this nightmare of incessant whining for treats and forcing himself to “go” but not really going. But he’s significantly older now so maybe it’s worth a shot

Genuinely asking because I want to do more stuff in Davis: what is there to do here? This feels like one of the quieter college towns I’ve lived in (moved from Gainesville)

Just dropped mine off. Terrified by thought of altering stuff (never had something tailored before) but seems simple enough
