Financial Goals in 2025
Ill be 56 in March of next year. By most calculators, a portfolio will double every 10 years at 7% or 7 years at 10%. Im banking on somewhere in the middle. Throw in some inherited $ and perhaps sell the current hacienda to downsize....add in SS, of which I fully expect, we may be just right. Of course my whole deal is based on a pre-tax yield of 4% in retirement...I may can get to $200K a year. My company has a pension, but its real hush hush....we were a startup 28 years ago and 3 OG's (including my boss) announced retirement and tell me they are getting paid , though they are sworn to secrecy. It's a handshake deal, but its real according to them..im guessing its a % of salary (not total pay) for life. That would bump me well over $200K pre-tax, good lord willing, without having to touch principle. However RMD will eat into principle with taxes being huge hit. Just grinding away, been at same job 27 years and industry 30+.

Financial Goals in 2025
9 is a pretty nice number..if im interpreting correct, 30K per mo. income at 4% would be a nice income stream. Im shooting for about 2/3 of that and retire in 7 (i'd be 62, with all 3 kids out of school)

Am I missing the ending? On the ferry at the end , Is Mykeala(sp) insinuating to Devon that she was the first Mrs. Kell’s assistant… And Peter pursued her like he is Simone?

Markets still falling like whoa
If unemployment goes up , rates will come down, markets will rally as autos and mortgages will get less pricey and the machine will once again keep running along. Inflation may jump a little but with lower rates people will take the trade off I imagine. IF and it’s a big IF, inflation stays calm combined with growing unemployment as rates ease across the board, Katie bar the door the market will pop

2025 SEC Tournament
Schloss came out this past weekend and said he doesn't believe in 'resting' his top guys. I can see him approaching game 1 like a must win and then assess from there.

Homeland Security agents raid LA-area home associated with Diddy's film company
Not a great look for her defense. Prosecution will argue while those texts do exist, it doesn't mean that once she made up her mind to stop....that she was forced to continue. The burden will be on Cassie's team to draw that clear delineation.

Agreed. Still not seeing anything “illegal” though or am I missing it….weird AF but illegal ?

Discourse comimg out of Geneva is that China will be more favorable to opening their markets.. These guys have business in China is my guess. AI voice space is right up the China alley.

No doubt gets his inspiration and style from his father, Michael...Pulitzer Prize winning author of Killer Angels one of my favorite CW (Gettysburg specifically) books.

Whatcha reading?
Just finished it. Overall liked it, it reads at a dizzying pace at times. I felt like some of the story felt forced and fit too well. Could have been 100’pages less , but like you, I’m glad I read it. I can see why it won the Pulitzer.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Doesnt matter where QE got drafted, other than money...NFL is the ultimate meritocracy. He went to a good situation. Tua wont be in the league by Halloween, too oft injured. If QE has a good camp , he'll be playing plenty and will get locked up with a nice contract in time. In some ways getting drafted lower will water down expectations. I think he will fine. Im rooting for him. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is currently in the final year of his $3.7 million rookie contract. He is expected to sign a new, long-term contract extension, potentially making him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league. While the specifics of the new deal are still being negotiated, reports suggest it could be in the range of $58-68 million per year

Anyone have any updates? I saw him in the dugout and looks like he just has a brace, not a cast.

Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
When Calvin threw out the first pitch earlier this year (believe each home game or maybe just weekend games not sure, they invite a former player) they invite that player up to the booth for an inning. He had some incredible comments, wish i could recall all of them. One that stood out....back then, spring break games only counted as 1 in the view of the NCAA, so Gus loaded up. That year we played some ridiculous amount of games , 10-15 games in that week with multiple DHs. Like i said I dont recall all the stats he threw out, but the staff had like 4 guys throw 10 complete games or something to that affect. There were a few other anecdotes, it was a great listen. He said they played 80 or so games in total that year and only lost 10 or 12. Ill have to look it up

Keep jammin' man, nice work. Got all 3 of my girls working for the summer, so hopefully the AC bill will be alright. Getting new homeowners quote now, interested to see what that comes in at. Still dollar cost averaging working our plan through all the crazy market gyrations this year. Had to stroke an $85K reader to Uncle Sam a couple weeks ago , so not much dry powder to push more in than the normal. Did opt to not take out of the 529 a couple months in a row for my oldest's college rent due to downturn. Had bit of good luck taking a nice chunk out a non qualified Vanguard account for a property investment (in Dec) so that saved a paper loss ytd.

2025 SEC Baseball Thread
For whatever round is the best of 3, dont recall if that is Supers or what they call it.... we'll get matched with B12 (AZ or KS schools and send Aggie to Baton Rouge or Southern Miss) IMO. If we are #1 overall, they wont send us the Ags, as I believe they will have too good of RPI to be matched with us.
