Beware fees on target-date ETFs. They can often be excessive. Kevin Slater

Yup, that or a random hole pic. Kevin Slater

Worked with him a few times. He's great. Kevin Slater

I’ve talked a few of my co-hookers into setting up IRAs (and/or solo 401Ks). It would have been much easier if I had those matching funds to entice them. Kevin Slater

Anderson Cooper Will Not Leave A Lot of Money to His Sin I generally spend a lot of money on my sins. Kevin Slater

Hadn't been aware of this til you pointed it out. Apparently I'm already a member. Speaks to its low standards. Kevin Slater

Well done, both. Kevin Slater

If they end a sentence with a preposition. Instant block. Kevin Slater

Didn't say that I hired him. Kevin Slater

They are one and the same. Kevin Slater

Never. If he’s looked at my profile several times, he’s already well aware of my existence. Besides, I’m not interested in a prospective client I have to cajole through the process. Kevin Slater

A huge percentage of their glowing rentmen reviews come from the same account. I'm starting to sense a pattern... Kevin Slater

I would guess for exactly this reason. You never even met the guy but your nose is out of joint because of an email exchange and you want to submit a bad review? Remember, Daddy never let you review a guy you've never actually met, and that's the right call. Rentmen doesn't need to be in the position of negotiating a bunch of (what's the male equivalent of a Karen?) wanting to rate a service they've never experienced. Kevin Slater

And that goes up as your hearing declines. I hadn't realized it til my doctor pointed it out, but my hearing is better when I wear my glasses. Kevin Slater

It's not that a better offer will come along, it's that the likelihood of a new client actually panning out is inversely proportional to the amount of contact (and the amount of time) beforehand. Especially in a highly visited place like NYC, we get a ton of guys wanting to set something up weeks away (unfortunately often accompanied by a daily text with a new question or request) just to find out, wouldn't you know it, the day of... the trip gets cancelled. The less time out, the more serious I take the booking. If your constraints require you to lock things down weeks in advance, a deposit via Venmo goes a long way to reassuring me that this is actually going to go down. And of course, once we've actually met, I'll take future bookings a lot more seriously. Kevin Slater

Who you calling a fruit? Kevin Slater

I assume he's referring to the indirect cost rate of doing government research. It is common practice for universities to apply an additional fee on top of research grants they receive to cover costs borne but not directly attributable to specific research projects (e.g. library usage, building maintenance, payroll administration). The IDC rate can often be in the 80% range. Kevin Slater

Income from federal bonds is exempt from state and local taxes. Kevin Slater

Perhaps Kiddo or Aiden Ward. Kevin Slater

I arrange these frequently (see my twitter, linked below). Sum of each guy's hourly rate x the number of hours you want him. If you want one of the guys to do the arranging, pay him an extra hour for that as well. If you want to stretch your budget, maybe stagger the arrival times by 30 minutes and book each guy for two hours instead of four, perhaps keeping the guy who did the arranging for the whole period. Kevin Slater

I mean, James Bond only gets two. Kevin Slater

I often have that problem and not sure how I correct it. Have you tried simply highlighting the text, deleting, and posting over it? Kevin Slater

If I were to spend 20 hours waxing poetic on text threads with prospective clients, I might gain one booking. Simply not worth my time. Those who are actually ready to book seem to appreciate directness, and we can be wonderfully engaged during the actual session. Kevin Slater

Bump. Kevin Slater

Any provider worth his salt should be happy to see you, but it never hurts to briefly describe yourself beforehand, especially if it will make you feel more comfortable during the session. Kevin Slater
