I have a 2 monitor system right now, a 43" 4k samsung 4:4:4 TV and a 32" 2560x1440. I am waiting for a LG 4k OLED to go below $1000 to make it my main monitor. I use desktops 99% of the time.

Am a pretty big Tesla bull. We first invested after I fell in love with my model 3 at end of 2018. A few months later, we first bought a few shares at around $300 before selling all at around $700 to lock in the gains. We made a big bet of ~4% of our investable assets earlier this year after TSLA st...

Thank you Taylor for helping my family through Bogleheads as well as your service to our country. May you receive reward for all that you have done for others both in this life and in the next. Stay safe [medical advice removed by admin LadyGeek].

Assuming you have a place for your own personal charger at night: another vote for Model S, or wait next year for the Plaid if you want luxury. Have a Model 3 long range non-performance dual motor myself. Love the driving performance but it doesn't have the luxury of a Model S. Smooth sub 4 sec 0-60...

We have a winner!

I have some money that will be available in 2 weeks. I actually am using some margin to invest into stocks while I await the money that will be coming in the fort night.

Still 100% equities but will have cash infusion in 1-2 months and salivating about the sale prices on stocks.

Is the grass greener? Medicine is a calling. I personally would not recommend my kids to go into medicine but will not prevent them either. https://physiciansfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/physicians-survey-results-final-2018.pdf https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/903051 Financially, no...

I second the motion to try the model 3 performance. I only have the dual motor and it makes my commute so fun.

Thank you Mr. Larimore and your fellow protectors of the world. I hear of multiple stories where soldiers of the greatest generation kept their medals for heroism secret to their family and friends. Their loved ones only found out after they died going through their possessions. So humble in their h...

Bless you and your loved ones. Thank you so much for contributing for the good of so many.

Dual professional couple, was saving up for Asian wedding and house. When we got engaged 10 years ago, the moissanite tended to have a green tint. Fiancee agreed to CZ ring sub $100 engagement ring (score!). Looked very good in beginning but after 3 years, it began to cloud. Because of this we have ...

Thank you for your help everyone, especially MP123. The broker said I need to offer the same to everyone of the same employment class so there is no discrimination. In other words, if I offer it to one full time employee, I must offer to all full time employees and if I offer to pay 50%, it must app...

Thank you all for advice this far. Company is an S-corp with me as 100% owner.

Thank you for your reply. Sorry I tend to be wordy and unclear in my writing. Let's say the family plan costs $2000 a month for my family (parents + 5 kids). The business cover's 50% of dad's portion = $1000/mo, and mom's portion = $1000/mo. Because we both work for the company, does tax law allow u...

My wife (executive) and I (owner) are both employed at a small business with about a dozen total employees. We are planning to get small group health insurance and with the company covering 50% of the costs. However, since we are both employed by company, would my 50% and her 50% add up to 100%? I d...

"Tesla promises all cars ordered by October 15th will qualify for $7,500 tax break" -- for those on the fence right now.

Mortgage interest is tax deductible but loan interest is not at this level of MAGI for taxes IIRC. That said, the difference is net 1% and saving gives more flexibility.

Like many above, suggest trying lots of Asian fruits. Naturally sweet and more flavorful than most fruits found in more temperate climates. Longans, Lychee, Rambutans are sweet easy fruits for beginners. Check turgor pressure for freshness. If you buy fresh jackfruit, it takes much work to get the f...

If you begrudge others' wisdom... were the other threads posted multiple times for them to be resent? --------------------------------------- Warren Buffett's performance is close to 20% CAGR.

Are you just planning 401k? Are you considering a defined benefit or cash balance plan as well? I had a good experience with Employee Fiduciary but they do not offer defined benefit/cash balance plans when our business was ready to take the next step. Appreciate all the help others here have offered...

Thank you for your many contributions, I've learned plenty from the discussions between you and others on this board. I hope once you have more free time, you can post here now and then. Enjoy your retirement, you've helped many reach the same goal.

Happy Birthday Taylor! My prayers for you, Mel and Jack. Thank you so much for your wisdom, time and efforts to help others not just on this website but also for serving our nation and the world over 70 years ago.

Dear Lee, Thank you for all your contributions to us in this board. People like you, Taylor, Mel, William, Larry and many others have helped me and countless others so much in achieving financial understanding. You will never know how much and how many you have helped in this life. I have been sprea...

Sorry, relatively new here, guess I can't do a poll, off-topic everywhere I can see.

Thank you Erisa Stone. The plan is to do New Comparability profit sharing in the future. This past year we got some extra money (Medicaid patients being paid at Medicare rates) so we plan on using Pro Rata or Integrated to share with our staff of our good fortune if only for a year or two. Luckily, ...

Thank you for ERISA Stone and tfb for your replies. My wife works full time at a totally separate/non-related entity, a national S&P 100 chain of stores and part time at my company. I work full time in my company. I did ask my coordinator at EF but that person was not knowledgeable about Mega-Ba...

Hi All, I am the middle-aged owner and HCE (~$190k/yr) of a small medical practice. I am setting up a Safe Harbor (3% non-elective employer contribution) 401(k) with EF (after reading great advice in the threads at this site) for entire company with profit sharing. Since I am a HCE, I do not think t...
