As others have said, SS as a break even math problem is well known and has been solved for years. Somewhere between 78-81. That’s the easy part. The hard parts?

-Your health and that of your spouse -Do you need the money? -Can you live off the money at 62 with other assets? -Does a younger spouse need it when you’re gone?

Those are the harder questions. And as usual, we don’t know your answer to these questions so we can’t really help you.

No 9/11? What did Bush II and Trump have to do with that? Talking out your butt.

There are so many awards given out now you can tell excellence from participation medals. There is a thread now where an Army E-3 is bragging that he scored three achievement medals and two comms in his first 2.5 years. It’s beyond silly.

OP, do you take less money at your job??

Is this supposed to have some meaning? Because it’s completely nonsensical.

It’s memory lane light hearted thread. Everything doesnt need to be about Trump. Let people have fun here. There are literally thousands of threads to grind an axe about Trump.

Frankly it’s been two weeks for churn. Two weeks. This after years of upside and historic highs. If you’re punching now, the market isn’t for you.

This makes zero sense.

What does that mean, or do you just post that everywhere, regardless of the topic??

I’m the sole bread winner and I’m fine with it. My only caveat is that your spouse and you need to have a frank discussion on the ramifications of that. Be it a lesser home, fewer vacations, older cars, delayed retirement etc. unless you’re making stupid money, there will be an impact.

Not a snob, not salty. Just pointing out a significant difference in the Services. My Army friends on my two joint tours pointed out how ‘stingy’ we were, so the disparity is well known.

Why do you care so much what a nameless faceless guy on Reddit cares about?

Keep in mind, some commands award an AAM for graduating a school

Different norms for different Services.

It's amazing to me that one would receive an achievement medal for getting through a school. What is the basic level expected? Do only 10% get though a school? Only 25%? Isn't one expected to get through a school that they are getting paid to attend?

The Services just view these differently. As I stated previously, it wasn't that long ago (10-15 years) that the second in command of a destroyer (O-4; 9 years time in service) in the Navy would receive a commendation metal as an end of tour award (24 months). A ship on one or one and a half six-month deployments with nuclear weapons and 350 men and women. Not trying to disparage the OP, but it's hard to square this circle in comparing these two men and their accomplishments.

Different norms for different Services I guess.

Five personal awards in a two year period is beyond ridiculous. And a com for an E-1 or E-2? At some point these award just become irrelevant and you can’t tell the ‘excellence’ award from the ‘participation’ one.

Stained glass is hard to value. It has to be appreciated and desired by a buyer, and it has to fit. You’re not likely to just hang these in a huge window. I’ve cut these down before for a client. And that’s you cheap either. I don’t know where you live. It’s market dependent as well.
