At what age do you plan to retire/have already retired?
supermike80 replied to Pimpadeaux's topic in The Geek Club
I guess we feel lucky House will be paid off in 4 years No debt outside of car loans Decent 401k balance Im dropping 21% of my check currently into savings. Hsa, 401k, savings. Retiring at 62 means 3 years i have to pay for healthcare but we will make it work. If i have an opportunity to do some work for 20 hours a week or so just to get out of the house im good with that -
Joy Reid and Alex Wagner Axed From MSNBC Lineup in Major Network Shakeup
supermike80 replied to edjr's topic in The Geek Club
Noooooo. See MSNBC said that was doubtful. So the non homophobe Reid then said she didnt remember the posts. So she's good. Everything was explained -
Yup. He will absolutely not be convicted of anything if thats the only evidence they have. In fact the entire thing is silly based on that call
-
Lol what did you tell us exactly?

Generally speaking the private sector ia better at these things than the government. Personally I would have no issue with mail being delivered 3 days a week. I dont need junk mail daily

In today's electronic world we dont need mail every single day truthfully

Post office loses billions every year. But lets not look at changes...cause why???

supermike80 replied to Pimpadeaux's topic in The Geek Club
62 is the goal for me. I have a retirement estimator that i spend a lot of time tinkering with, including a budget estimator. Things seem on track for 62 -

Trump's team is reportedly interested in banning junk food purchases for 41 million SNAP users
supermike80 replied to edjr's topic in The Geek Club
I think an earlier post about this has merit. Just cause we ban "junk food" from EBT, doesn't automatically mean people will eat healthier. There is a ton of crap in your local grocery store that doesn't qualify as such, but will still make you fat and unhealthy. This fix isn't gonna change that. Ban soda. great..Maybe they buy orange juice. Which is so loaded with sugar it will have zero impact on a person's health. Ban twinkies. Ok. Can they buy muffins? Cause those bad boys are so packed with empty calories. I really don't see the improvement with this idea. I'm not saying I am against it, I just don't see it impacting American's health in any real way -
Meh...

Trump's team is reportedly interested in banning junk food purchases for 41 million SNAP users
supermike80 replied to edjr's topic in The Geek Club
This is why I am on the fence on this one. On the one hand, I wanna say "You get $300 per month. Spend as you wish but when it's gone, that's it." But on the other hand, we all know there are a ton of crappy parents that will blow that $300 on hookers and blow(like I would) then let their kids starve. I hate hate hate seeing kids get punished because their parents are azzholes. -

I'm starting to think so too. I think it's a parody. And not a very good one. She gave it away by saying she lost her food stamps and her husband told her "maybe now you'll lose some weight" So yeah, I officially call this one BS now -

supermike80 replied to edjr's topic in The Geek Club
I apologize. I just looked up the video. It wasn't $1,800 a month. It was $4,000 a month. This was directly from her mouth. She's being lowered from $4,000 a month to $88/month. This can't be real. I'm thinking she misspoke. I think she meant $4,000 a year? 333 or so a month. That makes way more sense. God sometimes these rabbit holes....She also has a video complaining that her nail salon will no longer accept her EBT card for services. I swear to God. -

LIBERATION DAY: USA and China agree to a 90 day pause on most new tariffs
supermike80 replied to The Real timschochet's topic in The Geek Club
This inflation/tariff correlation has me poking around. Poland has an inflation rate of 5.3%, yet they follow the EU's CCT...and their average tariff was 2.03% across all products. Sooo....again.....I'm missing the correlation here. -

Tough one for me. I can't quite decide where I stand on this. So what I'm saying is I didn't help this thread at all.
