If you wanted the lowest expense and turnover index funds from Schwab in a taxable account which would you choose?

I am needing a Total Stock fund, a Total international and money market


thanks

Based on some great posts I found on this site, we booked a short trip to Disneyworld in September (when school starts, hopefully it will be less crowded). We are taking a 9 year old girl, reasonably adventurous and we are staying on site. Our plan is to go early in the AM, take some rides on popula...

Just made a new purchase on some of the recommendations! Thanks to all! Ill let you know what I think!

I love coffee. Specifically Colombian coffee.

Recently I read an article that one should not buy bulk coffee at Costco as beans tend to lose flavor after 2 weeks.

Does anyone have a recommendation on some good value Colombian coffees that tend to turn on the shelf quickly?

Preferably whole bean?

I feel I have the time, energy, and with sites like this, the knowledge to manage my fairly simple portfolio. However, what I feel I do need for tax planning purposes is a good accountant.

How did those on this site find a GOOD accountant to help them tax plan for the near and long term?

I like the idea of possibly supplementing what I have with a $300k 20 year. The feedback has me thinking, thanks to all of you and any other input is welcome!

Without debt and mortgage, 140k is a lot of spending. But, then again, you're doing extremely well. Are you including taxes on this spending? YES You have $3M in the bank. You could stop right now and support a ~$120k retirement (pretax, slightly aggressive). Let's say you get hit by a bus. Since y...

I currently am 8 years into a 20 year term policy. At age 50 and with I assume about 10 years to potentially provide some needs for my child, I am wondering if it is a good time to re up a 20 or 15 year term policy. My intentions would be to give some cushion to my wife and child if something happen...

Boy, if this fact doesnt speak to why Jack Bogle is right about not picking individual stocks and buying the market as whole, I dont know what would!

Life is too short. You should absolutely not be working a job that is 'absolute misery' for the next 5 years, regardless of your level of net worth. The fact that you have $3.2M excluding your house makes it even crazier. I would suggest that you find a new job now that's more rewarding. With your ...

No mortgage but we could possibly spend $100k to buy a different house. We would pay cash.

turkman, welcome!

What will you be getting from Social Security?

Per the SS website if I receive 71% of my benefits at 70, it would be about $2750 per month

So I assume 24k annually is a safe bet

Dear Bogleheads: First off, what a wonderful website and community for financial advice. I have learned a lot here and want to come out of the lurking shadows. A current post that I was reading makes me think about my own ability to retire in five years especially since our situation is very similar...
