Re: San Diego Bogleheads Meeting, Mon. March 17, 2014

If you go to the forum homepage, at the top right you can click on "About Us"
On the page you're taken to, again at the top right in the box, click on "Local chapters"
and you'll see the San Diego yahoo groups listing.
Click that, and request to join, we will "accept" you -
then you will get notified of meetings.

OR, you can PM me your email address and I will add you to our list of email addresses,
and you will get notified that way.

Either way works.

Re: San Diego Bogleheads Meeting, Mon. March 17, 2014

Hale2:

Thanks for asking about our meetings.

We have tried various day and time options over the years.

We found that there is always someone who can't make one time or day, or another,
so we picked a scenario that seems to work for the majority.

I hope you can join us at some point.

Re: San Diego Bogleheads Meeting Monday, January 28

Gsgarcia1,

Glad to hear that you are settled into the SD area.
I too am in the process of a move (within the SD area).

We meet every other month, during the odd numbered months.
So, our next meeting is in March.
We have tentatively set Monday, March 25 at noon at the Encinitas library.

We are not able to reserve the room in the library until a month before the meeting,
so we are not absolutely sure of the date until the reservation is made.

I will post an announcement, here, on the board, usually 3 weeks before.
If you'd like to PM me your email address, I can put you on our list to receive direct email announcements, as well.

Look forward to meeting you.

Re: Any Prius owners?

I have a Prius and love it. I've had it for 7 years and will keep it for several more years.
It gets good gas mileage, handles well and I think it does have fairly good pick-up (compared to some other cars I've had in the past).

Toyota now has several Prius models. The Prius V is more like a semi-SUV.
That may be something to look at for traveling with your children, and more storage room in the back.

Thank you for posting this link to the blog piece regarding the merits of delaying Social Security.

It is a short, to the point piece that clarifies the advantages of delaying Social Security.

I like the point made that says that a person wouldn't have regrets for waiting - if they die young, because they wouldn't be around.

Re: Board dog or let him wing it?

I agree: It is definitely not a good idea at all to leave a dog unattended for a weekend. It doesn't matter whether it is a good dog or not. They are social creatures and don't do well left alone for too long. If stressed by being alone, the dog will do damage - inside or outside. There are two good options: One is to get a pet sitter to come over at least twice a day. You can find one through this website: petsit.com - which is petsitters international. At the top of the home page, very top right, click "locate a pet sitter" which is by zip code. The other option is to again leave the dog at a good kennel. A good pet sitter is preferable to a kennel because the dog is in their own environment, with some supervision. The petsitter...

Re: How to Publish Electronically?

I use Lulu. You can publish and then print on demand; a hard copy version and an ebook version.
You can sell it on Lulu itself, or print on demand and sell book yourself. Costs are fairly reasonable.

I have also used Smashwords for ebooks. I have liked their service. It's free.
Books are sold on their site, and on most of the ebook reader distributors, internationally.
Currently they don't have an arrangement with Amazon.
Amazon seems to want authors to be exclusive.
You could go with them but it cuts off other distributors like Apple for iPad.

I am 60 and currently retired.

I have a very conservative international equity allocation. 9% of equities.

I follow what Jack Bogle says, which is that in today's world there is a lot of global-wide activity, thus there is a lot of international representation in the TSM or other US index funds.
He also says that there may be more volatility with international markets and currency.

That makes sense to me, so I am very conservative with my international.

San Diego Meeting

Huey,

Thanks for inquiring about the San Diego Meeting.

We have evolved the meetings to be a somewhat loose format. When we started having the meetings, several years ago, we would have formal agendas.

Now, we have a free-flowing discussion with ideas and questions that the participants bring to the table.

Our discussions center around ideas related to the Boglehead philosophy and Vanguard-related activities.

The meeting is in one of the rooms on the South side of the building, along the E Street side, although you would enter through the front door and go left - all the way to the end.

Hope to see you there.

I wanted to post my experience, as it is relevant to this topic. I am a life-time renter, in my 50's. I have thought about buying a home and found something in the price-range I was somewhat comfortable with, a little high in the range. It was an older home for this area, but seemed to be well maintained, freshly painted. Listed a new air conditioner. Great view. Had things I liked. I found this great home inspector (through the realtor -although it was Redfin, not the traditional RE agent - no commissions or connections to services). The inspector took a lot of time and did detailed things. I shadowed him everywhere.
