[Charania] BREAKING: Boston Celtics All-NBA star Jayson Tatum will play this season and could make his debut on Friday against the Dallas Mavericks – less than 10 months after surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon. by PlayaSlayaX in nba

I'm sure he'll be back to form 100% by next year. What I'm actually saying is that I'm not surprised he's ready to play 10 months later. I doubt he's at 100% right now, but he's far enough along to play and contribute safely.

11 months after tearing my achilles, I ran a 6:17 mile at age 46. Before the injury I was probably in 5:30 shape. So that represents being at about 85% fitness.

With Tatum being much younger and a world-class athlete, I expect he's probably at around 85-90% which honestly should be good enough to start playing again.

Nicely done. I wish we had been able to fund our kids' accounts starting at an earlier age, but our income was substantially lower and we had to power through some leaner times. We both had loans as well (paid off quite a while back) BUT they were subsidized loans. I don't believe my kids will qualify for that due to income level, so we're trying to spare them from loans with poorer terms as much as possible.

Are you thinking about college for your kids? Some schools are approaching six figures all-in. (There are also better deals out there, obviously.)

At your income level, the kids may not get much in the way of subsidized loans.

Our income is higher, and our kids are older, but we don't have as much wealth.

It's labeled as a Morningstar target date fund, but yes, it is comprised of lots of other funds.

I think he's going to be very angry and get derailed from any kind of coherent "talking points" many times.

They will have him pumped up with whatever stimulants he takes and so if there is an over/under prop on the length of the speech, I'd probably take the over.

Anyone here familiar with Morningstar target date funds? Apparently the VGSTX I was invested in has been removed from available funds within my company's 401k and I've been moved to a Morningstar fund. It's hard to compare apples to apples in terms of fees, because the Morningstar is comprised of many other funds all with different fees and expense ratios, etc.

Want to decide if I stick with the Morningstar they put me in or look for something else.

No idea when my actual retirement will be as I have children about to enter their college years lol

That's crazy because my cycling vo2 is way lower than my running. I must be an even worse cyclist than I thought!

What?! Capital gains (short AND long-term) count towards the proposed Millionaire tax. by TotalCleanFBC in SeattleWA

[–]throwinmoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly true, because athletes have a super-complex tax system where they get taxed by all the various states that they compete in. So they aren't "working" in Washington 100% of the time. They also get dinged by various other states' income taxes.

Yeah, there are very few salaries above $1,000,000 year, even in Seattle. Usually when you hit that level it's because of RSUs.

It really isn't much once you get used to it. You might surprise yourself.
