Thank you for bringing it to my attention - really enjoyed the show. Lots of really good scenes. Netflix series Lincoln Lawyer is next on my list.

I couldnt find L’Oreal Anthelios at the store. Did you mean La Roche Posay Anthelios?

Spencer Treat Clark is also a cutie. I need to see more of him. 😁

Yes sir!

I switched to Mrs Meyer’s Clean Day a while ago. Same reason. Have gotten good results so far - a little goes a long way! You can find it on Amazon if not in the store.

So not a happy beginning…is it too much to hope for a happy ending?? 😆

Allegra every night before bed, during the month of May. 💊

I discovered Animal Kingdom on Amazon Prime a few weeks ago. Middle class crime family full of petty drama! 👌

That is a darn shame. I wonder if there is a way to correct the damage, perhaps with time it will revert? 😐

Frequently discussed… I will correct myself. This topic seems to show up every few months, not years.

I doubt there is much you can do. Your only option, as far as I can tell, is to buy it from Canada or India and pay out of pocket.

I havent heard much from Suze Orman since she stopped her show on CNBC. Didnt realize she has a podcast… 🤔

I feel your pain. But it is hard to deny that it can be rather effective in sending a message to those governments (think apartheid South Africa with a love for Rugby and Cricket, who were denied access to international events). On the other hand, what is to be done when a player takes a political position (for example, speaks in support of an oppressive government or wears a symbol in support)? It is sadly complicated…

Huh? I don’t follow your logic. Someone who is HIV+ and undetectable can also stop taking their drugs. I don’t see how this is in fact safer than two consenting adults, both HIV negative in a committed relationship. Or how it is safer than an HIV- partner who takes PreP and stays on PreP.

Ah, I see. Yes, by all means, let's perpetuate the stereotype and ramp up the drama to get more attention... 😆

Nice find! I also believe that minimizing fees is super important over the long term…speaking only for myself, I see no reason to allow a bank or asset manager to pick my pocket repeatedly, year after year. 💰

I recognize the pics - has been around for a while. Perhaps discussed under a different name? 🤔

I do enjoy form fitting underwear (on myself and a provider). But honestly, most of what they have on display on Insta doesnt appeal to me…i hesitate to visit the store!! 🤭

I am still trying to figure out why this thread is titled “Urgent”…

He appears to be into “fin-dom” in a big way. It’s not for me but i wish him luck. 💵

I appreciate his position - but there are other benefits beyond taxation to consider. Many of my friends ask for my opinion and I assist them with their investments (it is not my career - i am not an advisor but I do know a bit about it.) They are all in “high risk” careers where bankruptsy can occur (auditor, lawyer or doctor that gets sued for malpractice, business owner that goes bankrupt after a deal goes bad) and I encourage them to stash money in an IRA since the IRA has federal bankruptsy protection up to $1.3mil (when last I checked). 🤓

I thought Federal would take time due to IRS warnings but it turned out fine. My New York State return was efiled in early February (at the same time as Federal). Still waiting on my refund 2 months later… damn revenuers!

I understand why you are thinking about this. There are a lot of moving parts - some you can control (like your retirement date and when to start taking social security) and others you cannot...like the expected inflation and a potential war. Even the affluent appears to be scaling back, if you believe the numbers. I do expect a recession may be coming, but I won't be so bold as to predict when. You may find this article of interest: https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertberger/2020/08/02/the-bucket-strategy-is-broken-heres-a-better-way/?sh=68c0515d1b33 If holding more bonds or even cash makes you feel more comfortable and sleep better - do it. But opt for TIPS instead of vanilla bonds given your target time period and potential need to bridge the gap between retirement and taking social security. There are some really good fiduciary/fee only financial advisors that can help you craft a plan that works for you - personal finance is very personal and finding somebody to help you work through it can be very useful. I am not a registered investment advisor - by my approach has always been to lean quite heavily on stocks; they have a good track record during inflationary times. As long as you are willing to ride out the ups and downs.

My portfolio suffers from a severe case of "the aggressives" too!
