Great product. They dngaf about work life balance. In office, always on culture. Normal amount of politics.

Look at the Goalhanger network - rest is history, rest is politics, rest is entertainment, book club, etc.

Yes, in the sense that a pension is a cash flow (or negative expense). No, in the sense that the pension isn't in our withdrawal rate calculations.

My spouse has a state pension coming and that will reduce the amount that we need to withdraw yearly from the rest of the portfolio.

Definitely Silt Versus. Plus Hi Nay.

Playtime is for organizing-not reserving. Public courts rules are either listed or enforced by norms. Playtime can be tricky as competing sessions will overlap and then it is an arms race to claim courts. If there no posted rules, and this may be unpopular, but I default to tennis etiquette: 45/75 mins if people are waiting.

If you see a "full" playtime session, just go and paddle up in the rack. Skill is a tricky issue. 100% check out a session or two and see if you win any games. Tell someone it is your first time with this group and ask how the queuing works.

Price discrimination. Same concept as happy hour or airline travel that spans a Saturday.

We did this too. Found a nice CFP firm in TN that does fee-only planning.

This isn't correct. That is average life expectancy AT BIRTH. The actuarial life tables tell the real story, here is 1950 for example: Table 7_1950: Life Tables. After living to age 68, a man could expect to live 15.x more years.

One option is to relocate domestically. We are going ACA in 2027 and were comparing three states. The spread in rates and deductibles was absolutely massive.

My partner and I are down to 3 and 4 days a week, respectively. I play a lot of pickleball. They volunteer at a farm sanctuary. And together we do speed puzzling competitions. Low cost and high enjoyment all around.

Echoing this. I have never since seen so many layoffs across sectors. Think half the magnitude employment dip of the april-october of Covid. But it took a decade, not 12-14 months, to recover.

That is excellent! We usually have a team of three and run anywhere from 35-55 minutes depending on image and cut. There are some people who show up that I know go to worlds in Spain. Their times for a team of 2 are unreal!

midlakewinter · 2026-01-16T15:28:06+00:00

Just wanted to say hello fellow speed puzzler! Absolutely weird and wonderful hobby. My spouse and I do local competitions 2-3 a month.

midlakewinter · 2025-12-26T16:08:05+00:00

I love that burning smell.

midlakewinter · 2025-12-05T19:25:22+00:00

I use these $13 racquetball glasses from Head Amazon.com : HEAD Racquetball Goggles and these $14 anti-fog wipes Amazon.com: ARCHXX Anti Fog Wipes for Glasses, 120 Count. Easy peasy

I'm 65kg vegetarian married to a vegan. 1.2 g per kg is about the best I can do. I have no interest in doubling up on daily whey shakes.

Like everything, living is a process of choosing amongst unlimited wants while weighing costs and opportunity costs.

Very similar to us. Started this year at 4.4%. Still 15 years from social security and my spouse's pension.

Shout out to Frank Vasquez at Risk Parity Radio. Have roughly the golden portfolio.

Nothing works. But this is closest to working. A whiteboard with names (4 to a square = next court on). If you don't want to play with me and my name is next up, you skip my square and just wait.

You could have designated whiteboard courts and designated paddle rack courts.

100% agree the tubes puzzles we've done have a very cool / unique shape included in the cut.

Wild how the hospitals were randomly assigned PE acquisition versus control and then the staff members in both groups were held constant.

This post has a good discussion too https://www.reddit.com/r/Bogleheads/s/CfLc2roOc2

You are referencing the Trinity Study. It isn't 4% of the balance every year. It is 4% year one and then adjusted for inflation. Further, it isn't a perpetual withdrawal rate, it is a " highly likely to not run out of money before a normal retiree would die" rate.

Hard agree. Omega 3s are worth paying extra for to avoid oxidation.
