re: How Many of You Have Inherited Significant Assets?
Posted by dat yat on 5/27/26 at 7:37 pm to RanchoLaPuerto
Sometimes my dad tells me what his brokerage account is up to...my net worth will double when he and mama pass.
So no, nothing too significant.

Wow. I am in banking and rarely run across that among professional types. I forgot about the big spenders that think it will go on forever.

The median for folks aged 65 to 74 is $200,000. Those are your boomers.
The ones with nothing really skew the median down. I'm sure its much higher for responsible folks that made a decent effort for half their career.
There will be social upheaval if SS is ever eliminated or severely gutted because the bottom half of society could never retire without it.
It is supposed to replace about 30% of my income when I take it. I would have to tighten the budget if it goes away, but I wouldn't start a riot.
Whoever down voted "frick you", YOU are what is wrong with our country. Downvote away dependant little pussies.
Wow, down voting the independent spirit of buying your own cars and houses...America is doomed if the next generation thinks this way.
Thank gawd my own children did it without financial assistance (they did it in their 20s). Those who need mommy and daddy to help are weak little pussies. I pray for your souls and pray for the future of our country.

re: Parents Buying Kids Homes

Exactly. I worked my arse off for my 1st car, my 1st house and, my 3rd house and my 1st timberland.
If you "help" by coddling children and paying the downpayment... you deprive them of the experience of getting it done on their own. It may make YOU feel good as a parent, but it psychologically affects them for life.

As a male in his 30’s who has had friends whose parents have helped I cannot look at them in the same light anymore. Easy button activated.
Kinda same...as a paw paw who raised a daughter and a son who bought their own homes with zero help ( like this gen Xer did), I see those kids as 'less' than the independent ones who did it 100% on their own. Proud of my kids and who they married. Solid values, commitment and moxie.
Kids that accept help...it demonstrates weakness and you will mentally 'owe' others forever.

I'm glad we got a national championship coach assisting on the staff. And I'm glad to finally be making more than a national championship coach.
I've worked whole career for this!

They have been on me a couple times a week lately. I gave mine up after Carr's disaster in 24. Enjoyed hunting last year instead of being stuck in the Dome.
But Yall should all be season ticket holders, do it!

Haltom city brah! I stayed there in a studio apartment for my City of Ft Worth internal audit internship in 1989 that Dr.Glen arranged for me. Not sure if it's still kinda OK though.
Good luck.

re: Hooters is rebranding as “family-friendly,” the CEO tells People Magazine.

Very Family Friendly. I took my son there on Belle Chase Hwy and Behrman when he turned 10 yeas old with all his friends after a day of fishin Myrtle Grove.
He is still straight at 34 years old. Money well spent. Geaux Hooters!
That said, I go to Waffle House more often.

His ex took half pre-tax; then he got half of what was left after taxes on the whole thing.
At his point, he can only help...Geaux Tigahs...

re: Saltwater catfish in Louisiana
Posted by dat yat on 5/16/26 at 11:07 pm to Royalfishing
My grandaddy always made us throw brackish water cats and ladyfish back. When I got my 1st boat after graduating from LSU I decided to keep them and a couple of Ladyfish too.
Grandaddy was right; Ladyfish are 90% tiny bones that'll choke you and Hardheads are greasy n nasty with bad flavor.
BUTT, sailfin/gafftop cats are awesome filets. Just be prepared for the slime.

I can understand the ones in Columbia...but Thailand? Dat's asking for trouble.
I voted for Desirae Charbonet instead of Cantrell for NOLA Mayor. Wish DC would have won.

re: People who lose weight on Ozempic viewed worse than people who don't lose weight at all
Posted by dat yat on 5/10/26 at 9:07 am to Cell of Awareness
It's great that they lost weight with Ozempic, im all for it. But...
1-the ones who do it with zero stregnthtraining end up looking frail and that may be unhealthy in the long run.
2-without a real lifestyle/diet change, they rebound pretty bad once the drug stops.
Ideally the shots should jumpstart the weightloss, and then you excercise and eat right to maintain health. Im all for it in that case.

You once again evade that Memphis is spilt as much as possible to drown out their vote, there's no getting around that
Splitting a city like that can cut both ways. Look at Minnesota; Minny/St.P is split 6 ways and all of those districts vote Democrat because the rural conservatives are outnumbered and diluted my the big city.
Nobody ever complained for the poor rural conservatives of Minnesota.
I think BOTH states are wrong and counties, especially large counties, should comprise district borders as much as possible.
Louisiana new/proposed district did this well. We should end up with 4 solid reds and two competitive purples.
Did she get that from watching Hamilton?
