Sleeping on a futon on the floor is very common in Japan (and I don’t know any maids, or anyone who has a maid). Though I don’t believe most of the rest of Asia shares Japan’s penchant for sitting and sleeping on the floor anyway.(?) My family lived in Japan in the late 60s and while it was fun to ...

It’s just more user-friendly.
Schwab uses 52 weeks.
It's just more accurate.

I’ve gotten used to Fidelity’s interface, but Vanguard’s is getting worse. It seems to be going in the direction of bank websites, in that it is now more mobile friendly and less desktop friendly.

Precisely, bonds are a horrendous investment which is why they shouldn't be bought as an investment at all.

It is, after all, an income fund.
If you plan to spend the income, don’t let the tax tail wag the investing dog.
If you don’t plan to spend the income, you don’t want to mirror Wellesley in taxable, probably.

I swear Vanguard gave a similarly bleak report a few years ago. Joe Davis? Glad I didn’t suddenly reduce stocks or I’d have missed out.

I hope this doesn't sound too cynical but lots of folks came up with the same conclusion and sold when Nasdaq hit 3000 the year before.

VS debit/check cards:
* cash back rewards
* better protection from fraudulent charges

VS cash:
* faster and more convenient at the counter
* can't use cash online
* easy to keep track of charges via statements

The only things I used my debit card for are:
* ATMs
* linking to Apple Pay Cash

Finally got to use it a few times this year. So convenient.
I guess I don't have to make trips to the bank for small bills anymore.

Year over year CPI increase for May 2018 was 2.8%, but that doesn't mean "inflation is running at 2.8%". Nor does it mean that "inflation is increasing fast". It is simply a snapshot of year over year inflation for one month. Important to remember. I feel pretty good about 2% no...
