re: Mortgage Savings/Payoff Strategy
Posted by BigOrangeVols on 10/10/23 at 11:16 am
To clarify it'll be ~7.5 years till I hit that 10-year mark but I agree. I think the flexibility of control over what the money can go towards is preferable to paying extra onto the mortgage now. ...
Mortgage Savings/Payoff Strategy
Posted by BigOrangeVols on 10/10/23 at 10:44 am
Hello All,
I have been contemplating a tactic for paying off my mortgage and wanted some thoughts. In April 2021 I purchased a non-warrantable condo with a 30-year ARM mortgage. The structure of the mortgage is a fixed rate of 3.25% for 10 years and then an adjustable rate in which the interest % c...

Immediately clicked this thread to say Master & Commander.. Such a good opportunity to build out 2-3 more movies surrounding it. But, with the way Hollywood tends to run franchises into the ground I'm happy that it's not sullied. ...
re: Anyone in an ESOP plan with their employer?

My company has an ESOP.
A majority share of the company stock has to be maintained by the Principal group within the company. The rest can be purchased (at a discount) or gifted to employees. I've been gifted some and am making my first purchase this year - been with the company 4 years now. The ...

re: What is the obsession with vinyl?
Posted by BigOrangeVols on 7/25/23 at 8:19 am
I'm young enough that there isn't a "nostalgia" element for me. I think the reasons I've built a collection (mid 400s currently) is in part because it's something fun to have a collection of as well as the ritual of it - picking out an album, dropping the needle, hearing the crackle, and most import...

re: When to bail on a stock and get it in something moving
Posted by BigOrangeVols on 7/11/23 at 12:11 pm
In a similar situation with TLRY - don't have too much in it so the plan is to hopefully rise with the tide or go down with the ship.
Served as a quick lesson to just stick to index/mutual funds as I don't have the time or knowledge to invest in individual stocks....

re: Why do you think Christianity is attacked in tv shows/movies?
Posted by BigOrangeVols on 6/26/23 at 10:54 am
Hyperbole and generalization aside - the country is 62% Christian. For the most part, people elicit humor from making fun of themselves and their in-groups. So, with a predominantly Christian populace you're going to see Christianity a lot in pop culture and, for the most part, that reference is goi...
