    Invisibles Quiz# 999

    Didn’t know 2, 3 or 4. Feel like I’ve seen 4. 7 is an old movie about people like the caterpillar dude. 8 is an 80s movie about the book he’s holding.

    The whole NFL players in NBA debate going on...

    Sam Darnold could say the same thing about him and Mahomes too. Staying in Charlotte and Devin Funchess could say that about Jerry Rice or Justin Jefferson, etc. I played HS football but didn’t play college and I remember watching a stud QB at my kids local HS and the dude threw beautiful...

    The “I want to retire soon” thread

    It’s a complex calculation that really depends on the situation. If your spouse didn’t work much and this would benefit from the spousal option, that’s a harder choice. Personally, based on grand fathering/potential changes/investing, I plan for my wife and I to take it as soon as we get it...

    The “I want to retire soon” thread

    We’ve loved it here. Our lake lot is actually SC, but it’s still close to NC. I have a feeling that my oldest will stay in the Raleigh area just because of jobs/work. Not sure on the other two yet. I could see Raleigh, Charlotte and even Atlanta although my youngest definitely wants to travel...

    Stock Thread

    So true. You know he bought last week and is going to make a ton of money or very likely already has. It was always ironic to me that he was a broker and Mass Mutual had to pay fines for the investments he made. He was the opposite of diamond hands. He just scored big time again. Stay quiet, buy...

    Stock Thread

    Yep, I have a bad feeling he got really hosed by all of these meme stocks. He wasn’t in here touting GME back at $10 pre huge run up to $480 (pre split). He was recommending it at $250 and $200, all the way down and didn’t like when we talked about Ryan Cohen/hedge fund kid making tens of...

    The “I want to retire soon” thread

    One of the big things we liked about the lake lot we bought was the surrounding area which has a nice hospital and lots of medical facilities that we hopefully won’t need. Still nice to see that and everything else close by. We go to a good friends lake house in NY every summer and the boys...

    The “I want to retire soon” thread

    We agree but I will still add that it is one of our priorities to leave a nest egg. A good portion of that will be the equity in the future house. Who knows what else will be left in this inflationary world.

    The “I want to retire soon” thread

    It may but it’s not. We go on several vacations a year now and don’t have any regrets. I’d be worth a lot more if we spent less, but we do well and have good savings. If we are living at our lake house with our sons coming by often, then anything else is gravy. I’d love to be grandparents that...

    Stock Thread

    Yep. The funniest thing is the Roaring Kitty dude. He was a broker before and smartly saw an opportunity to make money. It’s amazing to me that he made bank off the backs of all the retail investors who bought the stock (from him and others) for way higher than he bought. Somehow he’s a hero...

    Restaurants have gotten so expensive……also recycling and phone apps

    I’d like to think we eat in more now and I think we do, but we still go out like yesterday for lunch for Mother’s Day. For 4 of us, it was a reasonable $153 with tax and tip. 3 alcoholic drinks, 2 big appetizers and 4 meals. We were ridiculously stuffed and I told my two sons, I wasn’t making...

    The “I want to retire soon” thread

    While I don’t know about kids getting upset, we plan to try and leave my kids with as much as we can. I really hope we get to a point where we are living off of SS (both of us work) and just the income off investments. We certainly haven’t avoided having fun and vacations with our kids, but we...

    Roast of Tom Brady on Netflix Live

    Honestly, in the parts I saw (mainly the start through Glazer), Brady was kind of a robot. He smiled a bit and laughed but the other folks including the comedians and football players were all rolling. Tom is wound tight and doesn’t seem to be a real fun guy. Didn’t surprise me at all that he’d...

    The “I want to retire soon” thread

    Seeing as how most retirees count on SS for most of their income, it’s not surprising. The median retirement balances and net worths are pretty shocking. That said, I do agree that people who are able to stay in their pre-retirement home and live OK might not say they are living the dream but...

    Designing/Building a House

    Umm, this is just called a walk out basement. That’s extremely common. When we build our lake house, we’ll have to do this due to the gradual slope of the lot to the lake. It avoids doing lots of grading. Anyway, walk out basements are very common when the property has any type of drop off from...

    Survivor Season 46 - Episode Eleven - Liz Surprisingly Has A Meltdown

    Absolutely did cost her. She was an idiot and couldn’t contain her narcissism. They showed Charlie talking to Kenzie about Venus having something up her sleeve. After seeing Liz and Kenzie voting for Venus, it’s obvious that the edited the show to not show that Kenzie (noticed Venus not really...

    Survivor Season 46 - Episode Eleven - Liz Surprisingly Has A Meltdown

    Really? Damn, how could I not remember that. It was just an advantage and Jen was so meh to me that I forgot she had it. I was saying to my son that we had barely gotten any Maria screen time all season. Quick convos with Charlie and Q, but not a lot until rock paper scissors. Makes more sense...

    Survivor Season 46 - Episode Eleven - Liz Surprisingly Has A Meltdown

    Normally, I agree with you but I think this was bad for Charlie. I think he killed his chance of taking out Q and basically having a 4-2 edge where they can flush an idol and get rid of her before final 4. Now, I think he’s stuck and won’t get rid of Maria. I don’t think Ben will turn easily and...

    Survivor Season 46 - Episode Eleven - Liz Surprisingly Has A Meltdown

    I’ve mentioned to my son and wife that I don’t think her allergies are real or her businesses. The way she said that her stress caused them and her social behavior make me doubt both. I think she’s just a complete nut.

    You think that’s bad, check out INSP. Every number, including stuff like gross margin and Q2 guidance, beat estimates. They are expecting yearly growth for this year to be 25-27% and P/S is about 7 so not expensive. It’s like KNSL where they seem to motor along but the earnings reports are huge...
