  1. Bengals 24 - 17 Chiefs… I expect kinda ugly
  2. That looks fucking painful I don’t know how anyone can call him a pussy
  3. 80% of statistics are made up on the spot
  4. So you’re once again vaguely accusing no one in particular of injecting politics? Why? Because the tone of the thread is pessimistic despite the short term trends being modestly encouraging? in a thread about all of us getting poorer and hanging on the decisions of an unelected body……… you think the only explanation for cynicism is… anti-left politics? Go outside man
  5. If our politicians rigidly tied the budget to the GDP, they’d just end up cooking the GDP to spend what they want
  6. I remember when people said shit like this at parties 10 years ago except they were completely serious
  7. Why bring this pissy comment here? Some folks like @Cheeseweasel are concerned that the trend is going to reverse, the rest of the recent discussion is largely personal disagreement over something benign @trophsaid. My general takeaway is most people are in a wait and see mode. We all want low inflation and a stable currency. Every month we meet expectations is undeniably good.
  8. The thing is, interest rates at these modest levels shouldn’t slow “the economy”. They will discourage malinvestment and encourage investment in productive ventures. If that slows your economy, perhaps your economy was shitty…
  9. How the fuck did we lose to that sorry fucking team. Eat dick TCU
  10. Gotcha, thank you for running some numbers. I’ve always assumed I’d be retired in a higher tax bracket and perhaps neglected the alternative. Between hoping to maintain my lifestyle after retirement and what will surely be higher federal taxes across the board, this assumption still seems reasonable to me. I need to hit the spreadsheet and see how badly it will hurt if I’m wrong…
  11. If your 401k give you access to low expense ratio index funds, and your emergency fund is where you want it, I’d probably just carry on exceeding the match. You can maximize your emergency fund by putting it into I-bonds, treasury bills, CDs, etc, every month that lock it up for a year at a time. Or hell, fidelity, vanguard, etc offer 4% yields in money markets right now. Assuming a long time horizon and stock market growth remotely sniffing historical averages, even if tax laws stay the same, wouldn’t you want to do predominantly Roth contributions to your 401(k) regardless of your current/future tax brackets? With access to a Roth 401(k), wouldn’t the only reason to use your individual Roth IRA be if the employee 401(k) investment options had excessive expense ratios? (Or if you maxed out your 401(k) contributions and some how qualified to make Roth IRA contributions)
  12. Given what we know about her, bozo’s assessment of the rest of the council is shocking

    I was pleasantly surprised by his Hail Mary. Came up a few yards short of the end zone but looked impressive.
  14. Think of all the MILFs at the local charities
  15. I want the ultra low inflation future where buying 30 year treasury bonds at 4% today is genius… someone convince me please
