That’s good to know. Yes, the Palms is a very pleasant hotel. My last few visits were there instead of Rio, which was really hitting the dumps. My last visit, Palms “upgraded” me to a suite in the private condo tower which was very nice. funny that Rio has hit me with marketing pieces weekly for about a month now, offering me 4 free suite nights. I’m not chomping to return.

I haven’t been to Vegas for a couple of years. Pre-retirement I was there 2-3 times a year on business. Traveling from LA, and needing to get around from the casinos to World Marketplace, I opted to drive so I’d have my car for ease of transportation. I found myself staying at the “west side” hotels like Rio, Palms, etc because they had free parking. Is that no longer the case?

I sat through this presentation hoping I’d understand it but it’s a lot to take in. Much of it went over my head but I came away fearful of the state of our financial health. Maybe some of you guys will better understand it and make sense of what it all means to the individual small investor.

Very happy to say I am debt free. I made certain I entered retirement [2023) free and clear. no credit card debt, no mortgage. I use one credit card for all daily transactions because I get cash back rewards, and I pay it off each month in full. I’m averaging $180 per month cash back

I checked out his profile after seeing this post. He hasn’t stopped messaging me since. 😡

With newspaper visible for proof of date 🤣🤣🤣

Definitely put off by the name.

I’ve messaged with him when he was in West Hollywood recently. He’s made 2 or 3 trips here over the past year. yes he’s from Sydney, obviously. I think he looks delicious. The rate he quoted me was in keeping with what I guess is normal these days, nothing outrageous, but a bit high for me (I haven’t hired in several years). I can find my way to indulging, just want to make sure I’m not in for a disappointment.

Anyone have experience with this stunning boy? https://rent.men/Ethan_sydXL

The norm here used to be post titles were formatted as: 411 on (provider’s name) in (city) that approach made it easy to select or bypass posts based on a reader’s geographic interest and worked nicely. We seem to have gotten away from that. Here’s one man’s hope we can get back to that and/or moderators can help via editing.

Maybe it’s his IQ?

Same for me; next year but at 66 2/3

His ad now says he’s 5’11” and 7”?????

Sounds like marriage! 🤣

What’s findom mean?

Definitely sexy.

Definitely difficult to keep straight but from a simple practical stand, if the best I’ll earn on these two bonds are less than 4% it was a bad investment choice considering the current state of CD rates. Today I opened a 25k cd at Forbright yielding 5.75%

Given, the variable changes but how does one determine the fixed rate?

Thanks. So the. 9.6% is not a constant for the life of the holding (6 month changes not withstanding)?

Wow, what a great thread to find here. maybe you guys can educate me on something. i bought a 10k bond, 7/1/22 and another 10k, 2/1/23 they have been logging interest at 3.38% and 3.79% respectively. how, when, why, does the reported 9.6% rate kick in?

That worked. Thank you

This is where I land when clicking the link you posted:

My pet peeve is: ”no problem” or “no worries” as a response to “thank you” big finger nails on blackboard. the proper response is: “you’re welcome” period, full-stop. Occasionally acceptable alternate responses: “my pleasure” or “please don’t mention it” when some grammatically incompetent twink says “no problem” my response is: “oh, good! I didn’t want to cause a problem” and watch them spin in the wind as their brains fry.

Your instructions don’t seem to work

I’ll check it out. Thanks
