You guys/gals are awesome, in case no one has told you yet. Several restaurant reservations now made. I will post them when I get a chance.

Anyone have any pointers on going to Oahu, will be there for a week.

Some items:
1. Best way to see Pearl Harbor.

I can put 5k in to my roth this year. I just have my roth in an passive heavy equity low ER right now.

Thank you all for the replies!
The ETF for TSM seems to have the same ER has the Admiral TSM.
If I opened a Vanguard Brokerage account, I'd avoid the 9.99 commission from e-trade I think.

For i-bonds, are those just individual savings bonds that you can only get through treasury direct?

Hi everyone, First thanks for all the information on this board. I learn more on here than from my fianicial advisor. I am currently reading the Boglehead's investing book, and one from Larry Swedroe called "The only guide to a Winning Investment Strategy". If one is already maxing out 401...
