FFS, Just WIN. Everything else works itself out.

A one loss LSU at the end of the year after all the games are played are NC's.
He too is too quick to run. I wish he would sit longer and wait for things to open up by air. He's got wheels, no doubt, which should make him feel more comfortable to sit longer, he has escape ability.
Wouldn't it be epic if our only loss this year is to OM during the regular season, we both make the playoffs, we win the rematch (Super Dome Semi's) and win it all in year one?

There is still a path.
you do know one of these teams is losing tomorrow.

If it is a close game as most of the last handful have been, it won't be egg on anyone's face as both teams are talented, well coached, etc.

If either gets boat raced, then the narrative will change as it should.

I personally think we have a higher chance of running away with a win and it getting out of hand due to our D, but this is why we play the game.
So....

LSU wasn't the team that played a game with an individual that had anything to do with the NFL.....That was TEXAS.

LSU didn't have anything to do with a player that played more than the 5 in 5 restriction.....That was OM.

LSU is clean.

I kind of like the idea of an independent.

Playing an easy schedule and kicking the shite out of ND every year.

Throw in some service schools and USC to boot.

I'm in.

re: How can I raise my credit?

Your credit score is all the above, but more than anything, your score is a rating of how much credit you have vs how much you use it vs how responsible you are with it.

Banks, lenders, etc. DON'T make money when you pay your accounts off early.

Why would anyone lend YOU money when you have proven you are going to pay it off quickly and they lose out on the interest when they could give it to someone who keeps loans for the long terms, cc that they run up and may miss a payment where they can charge fees?

They are in business to make money.

All that to say:

DON'T every be late on a CC payment or installment.
USE credit often and run up the account, BUT always pay off you CC every month.
Take out loans but be responsible

Interest is the cost of earning and having leverage to buy bigger and better things, responsibly.
build a real honest budget. shite in is shite out.

cut everything non essential first. no going out to eat, no drinking, no smoking / vaping, etc.

see what that gets you. The LAST thing you want to do is negatively impact your credit score further. Pay your bills. If you need more money, get a 2nd job. Sell assets you are right side up on if you have any.

ADBE drives me mad. It is a great company, worth every penny but it simply keeps dropping.

I bought at $520, but also have options contracts at $400 that are rocket ships.
I know that SOXL isn't supposed to be held due to the reset.....but, It has never and will never go to ZERO. I bought a lot of SOXL from$12 all the way through $45.

Starting to take profits and setting up exactly for that event ALL OVER AGAIN.
qqq, amd, uuuu

dca or with the caveat that the entry points should be when the rsi is below 35 and the price is below the 50 dma.
of course it is, i offloaded it at $375.
You mentioned 30 yr traditional....

Are these fixed rates or ARMs? I assume you mean fixed rate.

I just bought a second home because I didn't sell my first home in time that has my VA eligibility attached to it prior to closing.

I had options. VHA or traditional. For me, the difference was the VHA was a little cheaper on payments and cost to close, BUT all the money from closing was basically going to FHA funding.

I decided to do the conventional loan, on a $540K home, I still paid about $40K for closing cost, BUT, MOST of it went towards my mortgage.

So, I now have a $513K mortgage vs $530K ish. I was surprised I still had to pay PMI, even though my house appraised for over $700K and I had over 20% equity in the house the moment I closed. I plan to refi within the year once I get my VA eligibility restored, will shed the PMI and best the rate.
Have you checked out TSP seasonal strategies?

When my money was in TSP I was originally 60/40 C/S....but simply let it ride. It wasn't a bad play, but when I got involved in TSP seasonal strategies, it paid off much more.

I finally moved it out to CS, but that was done so I could get exposure to crypto a while back.
Wait until QQQ gets under $600, below the 20/50/200 MA and RSI below 35 and but LEAP options for mid 2027. You could probably get 5 or 6 contracts and control 500-600 shares.
IF you are moving it over and you are putting in into things that you are simply going to INVEST in and not TRADE, I think you will be fine.

I did it last year but things didn't settle quickly enough for me, but I was trading. So, I put it back in CS.
