I'm retired and can confirm; much less burden. I don't regret putting money in my 401K but my taxable accounts are almost like very flexible Roth IRAs the way I manage my ordinary income and cap gains. My income tax has been zero the first 4 years of retirement and will stay zero until I take SS.

He could be right. Seriously, he could be. Just remember being right once out of a hundred doesn't make you Nostradamus.

When they made little Mike Johnson their speaker, what did they expect? A puppet would turn into a real man?

Didn't this same person bribe Trump for a pardon?

Actually they do have a plan:
1) Allow the rent-seeking healthcare industry to suck America dry.
2) Deny healthcare to most of the population.

Now they are temporarily pausing item 2 due to mid-terms next year, but item 1 is still fully engaged.

Yep. Listening to CNBC television personalities trash google back then made me more comfortable with my google investment. As a group in aggregate, they have a real knack for bad investment advice.

Current government policy is a much bigger problem than an 'overly data-dependent lame-duck Chair'. Also, ... Lack of a clear strategic framework? You keep saying that but never explain exactly what you mean.

Reason: Obvious job market softening with sticky/rising inflation and BLS is behind on data. Extremely difficult to know which is the bigger problem; jobs or inflation.

The content of the unsecured text messages between Hegseth and Vance earlier this year really demonstrated that Vance is the single worst person in the administration. Everyone focused on the leak and national security, rightfully so, but the content was revealing that Vance is a massive problem.

Circle cult lies. It is complete nonsense.

Maybe if Apple made new iPhone versions that were noticeably better and more productive with prices decreasing over time, everyone would update more often. Like PCs 1985-2005. The big difference in PCs is no company had a monopoly to maintain ridiculous profit margins.

Being as loyal as a dog still isn't loyal enough.

Oh great, that's what we need more of, gambling.

Agree with all your points. It's just really difficult to predict behavior in a religion (Bitcoin).

Remember MAGA complaining about Justice Department weaponization without any proof.

Yea... Every accusation is an admission with these people.

GFT speculation is a wild ride!

Well I guess I better wear my top hat and tails on my next flight.

The little puppet is trying to be brave. Bless his heart!
