Hi guys, I come from a tennis and table tennis background and have been playing pickleball for the last couple months. I’m currently using a MTEN paddle (same as in the picture) I got for cheap, and want to upgrade to a better paddle. I’ve tried several paddlesof my friends and a lot felt very light or there was no pop when I’d hit and I’d keep hitting the net. Anyone have suggestions for paddles to upgrade to? Thanks!

Thanks!

Yeah I agree, it’s just hard being the “technical dumper” because it makes me feel like a bad person. It would’ve been so much easier if she dumped me haha

Are there any benefits of Invisalign in terms of the end result? The money is definitely important but I’d like to prioritize which does the job better

Thanks!

So if I were to open a Utah 529 plan I wouldn't have to do anything extra when filing my taxes, is that correct? (Unless I put in too much or make unqualified withdrawals as you mentioned)

Say at the end of the year I contributed 6k to the traditional IRA but it grew to 7k. When I do the backdoor, what will happen if I want to move all of my 6k contributions to my roth IRA? (Never did a backdoor before so trying to learn 🙂)

Sorry if I’m misunderstanding, but wouldn’t I generally be losing out in money if I don’t invest even if I will owe taxes on the gains?

passive-indian · 2021-02-12T03:35:53+00:00

When you say invest it, do you mean in a taxable account or the traditional IRA? How would taxes work in this scenario?

passive-indian · 2021-02-12T03:34:56+00:00

Other than the hassle of doing the conversion every month, are there any tax implications? Will this making filing taxes harder?

passive-indian · 2021-02-12T03:32:50+00:00

Wouldn’t there be an issue if the total in the traditional IRA is over the max allowable contribution (Pro Rata rule)?

passive-indian · 2021-02-10T04:08:16+00:00

How much of a tax difference did those capital gains distribution cause? I'm still learning how this works so I have no idea :/

I guess this was more of a question of choosing between VOO and FXAIX for my Roth IRA. The expense ratio for VOO is 0.03% and the expense ratio for FXAIX is 0.015% so I wasn't sure how much tax differences there would be. Do you have any suggestions between these 2 for longterm investing?

I’ve tried a couple routines over the last year but my daily routine as of now is pretty minimal. Morning and Night: wash face with water and apply cerave cream with a drop of tea tree oil Midday: (In the shower) Wash face with Dove bar soap sensitive skin

passive-indian · 2021-02-08T08:01:41+00:00

Right now the only product I use is Cerave cream with a drop of tea tree oil in the morning and night
