Re: Extra or "play" money high risk/reward speculative moonshots... If you partake, what are you doing?
Purchased shares in a couple of private, VC-backed companies. One went public this year and looks like a solid win (assuming the stock hangs in through lockup period). The others are 1-3 years away.

Re: Should I sell my stash of dental floss now worth $3,000?

There currently aren't any low-cost ETF's for dental floss, but you can mimic a fund by investing in at least 10 diff...

I am trying to get input as to whether my wife and I should refinance from our 30-year adjustable rate mortgage to a 15-year fixed rate mortgage to lock in a lower interest rate as we are worried about the current rate steadily increasing. I am 35, my wife is 37. We have 12yo and 1yo children, live ...
