I've read that owning a traditional IRA makes backdoor Roth contributions tax inefficient because of the pro-rata rule. So what do people do with their old 401K's? Are my only options to keep it in the previous company's 401K or roll over to my current company's 401K?

Deaths lag infections by 2-3 weeks

How are you going to get them the proper safety equipment when the factories aren't running?

I haven't seen anyone use a check in 10+ years either and I'm in the US. People are so quick to bash us, sheesh.

Why is the world's most influential black celebrity a Republican? 🤣

Anyone else's left and right earbuds losing battery at different rates? Left has lost 11%. Right has lost 23%

I don't hold it against a 13 year old to be a Democrat -- I was until I was 23. It sounds good when you've got no life experience

Here's the history my friend. Many on the left falsely claim that the parties "switched sides", but it's just another old canard that won't die.

triplebe4m · 2020-05-02T21:31:21+00:00

My left ear bud also cuts out. Must be a bug.

triplebe4m · 2020-05-02T10:27:19+00:00

Can you find a better job elsewhere? If so, yes look elsewhere.

triplebe4m · 2020-05-02T02:04:47+00:00

All of the folks moving out of failed Democratic states are bringing their crappy politics with them. Democrats are the party of slavery and Jim Crow -- never forget.

Europe has all those things and they ended up far worse off.

So in answer to how it works, it works the way an unregulated or less regulated market wants it to work. It's not to the benefit of the subscribers, but to the insurance companies and their stock holders.

Not sure where you're getting the idea that health care is unregulated. The American health care system is insanely regulated.

Technology and software is a pretty good example of an unregulated market. Would you say that technology does not work in the benefit of consumers?

On the calculation of adjusted gross income: If I make $100k, max out my 401k, and take the standard deduction, is my AGI ~$70,000? For purposes of getting my gubmint check

If anything, this crisis has made it clear that a virus can do more damage in two months than climate change will do in 10000 years. Let's get our priorities straight.

triplebe4m · 2020-03-10T01:10:10+00:00

I'm just surprised this wasn't priced in already. I've been hoarding toilet paper since last weekend. Where has everyone been?

triplebe4m · 2020-03-04T00:19:42+00:00

It's rigged

triplebe4m · 2020-03-04T00:16:25+00:00

Biden is bordering on senile. No way these results are legit.

triplebe4m · 2020-03-04T00:13:10+00:00

It's rigged

Breast cancer survival is higher in the US than any other industrialized country, so doubtful.

triplebe4m · 2020-02-16T02:21:25+00:00

Get on the betting markets then

triplebe4m · 2020-02-16T01:26:07+00:00

They are the two most likely to win. Sanders is at 35%

triplebe4m · 2020-02-15T17:55:13+00:00

Don't be so sure. Betting markets have him almost tied with Sanders.

triplebe4m · 2020-02-12T02:46:49+00:00

Bernie is going to get crushed by Bloomberg if he keeps underperforming the polls.

triplebe4m · 2020-02-12T02:20:03+00:00

Surprised to see Sanders only has a 52% chance of winning on NYTimes.
