re: Who would you co-sign a car for

We bought both kids a decent vehicle after they had been driving for a while, but I wouldn't co-sign for one.
If you can't get financing on your own you either can't afford it or have bad enough credit where you obviously have bills in the past that haven't been paid.

Context for those that don’t know of John Rocker
He still defends that statement. I respect a man for saying what he thinks, and standing by it despite all the criticism. It was a minor sports story in the 90s. It would have been all over the mainstream news today.

I would suggest anyone go all in on AI stocks if you want to be in the former group.
If you are invested in a non-equal-weighted S&P 500 ETF or mutual fund like VOO you already have about 35% of your money exposed to the mag 7 stocks.
I still think it's a bubble. I think AI will have a significant impact on the future, but these predictions are always ridiculously early.
re: Anyones Delta gas bill for Feb in Baton Rouge is ridiculously high?
Posted by fallguy_1978 on 2/12/26 at 7:42 pm to LouisianaLady
We haven't really noticed any difference in Delta vs Entergy. I expect this bill to be high because it was cold in January. We had $15 summer bills with Entergy and $100 winter bills too. We only have gas heater and water heater.
I think maybe during the big snow last year ours was $150 or so.

re: Will Campbell declined to speak to media after Super Bowl
Posted by fallguy_1978 on 2/9/26 at 10:49 am to Chad504boy
He was a good pass blocker as LSU and was going against plenty of future NFL guys. You have to wonder how much that injury impacted him. He was bad in all of the postseason games.

He was really bad. How often do you have entire articles written about an offensive lineman?

I like Campbell and hope he's in the HOF one day. He's bad right now.

He's a liability out there right now.

I got my arse whipped at school growing up. Even the teachers could whip you in front of the class. Our principal had a big arse paddle with the confederate flag carved into it. We called it getting the stars and bars tattooed on your arse :lol:
re: The typical U.S. worker has $955 saved for retirement, report finds
Posted by fallguy_1978 on 2/7/26 at 4:07 pm to SlowFlowPro
Average is way more than median because of very large accounts. Most people in the US are going to be screwed though. Like if you retire with 300k you are pretty much entirely reliant on SS.

I'm sure plenty of people save 0%, but how would we even have data on those people? The median and average balances don't jive with the OP, although they are still bad.

They'll either raise taxes, cut benefits or means test it. The latter would probably screw us because we've actually saved for retirement on our own.

I have no doubt most Americans aren't saving enough money for retirement, but I have a hard time believing the $955 number. You could save $20 per paycheck and have that in a few years.

Yeah that area was mostly fine in most of the 90s even. That big arse apartment complex right there going downhill is what ruined it.

I owned a bunch of NVDA stock in the late 00s for like $5/share. I sold it because I got impatient. They basically just made graphics cards for gamers back then. It would have been multiple 7 figures now.

I don't know how some of you remember this in detail almost 25 years later :lol:
I vaguely remember Mauck getting hurt one season, and it wasn't because I was really young or anything. I was out of college and into my career at that age.
