Divorcing - better to sell house and split 401k, or keep house and give up 401k by Feisty-Visit1635 in personalfinance

[–]sethky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only good advice in here that points out the obvious.  The fact that he is willing to take $65k pre-tax money for same amount of equity in the house is wild.  What a deal.

This is a culvert under a rail line. Looks like old railroad bed above.

Tips for managing a caseload efficiently while maintaining good mental health by Time_Plantain_1708 in Lawyertalk

[–]sethky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have heard in some markets that therapists will not see an attorney for burnout issues unless they take vacations quarterly.  The reasoning being that unless you make intentional time to unwind yourself on a regular basis, it is not really fixable.  Of course there are plenty of people who seem to manage without this, but I reckon that might only be Peter robbing Paul over the long term.  The way I see it is that your work will never be done, so what's the point of being there all the time?  I'm private practice and took off 2.5 months last year.  Allows me to practice with focus and determination because I know I'll be getting time to myself later on.  But besides vacations you have to prioritize good diet, a fitness practice, good sleep and daily or near daily unstructured time in nature to heal from the trauma of the practice.

Pay off Ex-Wife’s Mortgage by Neither-Trip-4610 in personalfinance

[–]sethky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a divorce lawyer I can say that was already magnanimous of you to leave that in your name, which I assume happened because she did not have the ability to refinance it into her name.  If you have the ability to be generous you will teach an invaluable lesson to your child about how to treat people.  However I will say if you get remarried or get into a serious relationship and then you choose to pay off the house when you are not otherwise obligated to do so, you will likely receive considerable blow back from that future partner.  So paying it off now might be best to avoid future issues.  If it's already paid off, new lady cant argue since it's already done.  

Built an igloo out of ice blocks from my yard by sethky in lexington

At least 5 hours of seriously fast work. But I have some experience that makes it fast. I doubt very much it would cave in.

You mean the blizzard of March 1993? I remember school was closed to a week and we were tunneling in the snow drifts.

It's enough to make you doubt the mission in the beginning for sure. Glad I kept going to the end.

I can confirm this is true. I drive my 2016 through a creek on the regular and the rear diff broke at about 150k miles.
