I'm not even 40 yet. I don't expect to get social security.




Why?
SS is not going anywhere.
This will be popular but the guy actually did a good job in recruiting here. Himself and JR worked hard and did a good job recruiting HS and in the portal here. Its not his fault his dad couldn't coach.

That is horrible advice

It's standard Dave Ramsey advice.


It doesn't matter if you use a credit card if you pay it off monthly. It actually works out better because of better rewards plans.

Probably at least 2 years.
I have saved a ton of money by accident since I started fasting weekdays.

I am a long player on this position and looking to add. Where would be the next entry point? High 4's?

Some are OLOL, most are not. And by the way, the LSU Docs are fantastic.

Since when? The Vix dropped a little bit but when the Vix is up like it has been headlines are literally what move the market. It is actually called Headline Risk.

Based on the rule of 72 and the 13-15% my brokers averaged over that time frame they would have doubled my principal every five years. That is something most individual investors do not even come close to over that time frame. In fact a good bit lose money. Like I said, while I am working I will have brokers handle the lions share and possibly take the reigns when I retire but I am happy with my results. And I thing that is the best advice for somebody investing large amounts of money. Some brokers charge more for smaller investors or don't offer some of the investment opportunities at all.
I have two CFP's that invest different strategically for about 2/3's of my non real estate investments. I handle about 10% and manage the riskier portion of my portfolio myself. The rest is in active 401k portfolio's.
How it breaks down, 2/3's of my investments are non real estate. I am within 2 years of retirement. My personal feeling is if you have over a million in equity investments let a pro handle the majority. Once I have retired I will possibly take a larger role.

This is why we have day jobs. The market didn't move down at all based on the weekend news. I am actually up. Now I am not saying some more news cant come out and it be down by the end of the day but that is the volitility we are dealing with.
I bet you like cats better than dogs and are really close to your grandmother.
Are most of your 80,000 post as Beta as the ones you have made on this thread? I bet you wash your wife's boyfriends clothes for him.
Your moma is calling you, don't you hear her. It's time for dinner.
Oh I'm the dork? You have 80,000 post on a sports forum in 15 years. That's almost 15 a day. Yea, I'm the dork dude...
Sports really don't have a big role in it besides being the gathering point for Cocky Frat Boys and drunk rednecks. I have been to almost every SEC football stadium and quite a few Baseball as well, some multiple times and I have had 3 issues. 2 in Oxford and 1 in Baton Rouge, all with Ole Miss Fans and allways 100% started by the Rebel Fans. There is no way I am on an Island here.
Coming from someone that had to practically fight his way our of the grove twice, I couldn't be happier to see some of those Frat boys leak a little. OM fans are the worse.
