When to take your social security
My dad passed away at 89, my mom at 92; both lived almost almost a decade longer than their longest living parent. For financial planning purposes, I'm planning on a 50/50 chance to hit 100 (esp as medical care continues to improve). So I'm planning on filing when I turn 70, which will also benefit my wife (hopefully) OP should show how big the advantage is at 85, 90 & 95 ( I'm to tired to do maths)

I thought he had Hudson Bay Company certificate #11, bought 500 shares when he was in an outpost buying beaver pelts. Or was that selling beaver pelts?

2024 PGA Tour
So Kuch decided not to finish last night, only player that didn't. Seems like a Kuch move, dude is making tournament officials, caddie, etc come back this morning. I hope he gets heckled, but the difference between birdie and bogey is $150k. They should have the mowers running behind him waiting, and people trying Noonan as he putts

Why is the business board low traffic?
Low traffic on this board, IMO, is due to 10-12 chuckleheads being the primary contributors. With fairly consistent perspective, and not much context other than linked from business sites. Not sure what would drive more traffic here, other than getting posters to sure some DD and sharing opinions like seeking alpha. The stonk board has that type of posts, but it has slowed a bunch as well.

I caught the cancer
Apparently that was not the final update, Mrs Fairway had some nasal issues in mid July. Short version is biopsy was tested twice and results posted to her my chart Wednesday listing mucosal melanoma, MRI a yesterday (that was ordered the same time the 2nd test on biopsy). Haven't heard from her Dr yet, because I presume they are waiting for the MRI to be read. We aren't waiting, finished MD Anderson new patient enrollment package yesterday, and should hear back from them on Monday or Tuesday. I don't like what Dr Google is telling me, but it's better than waiting for the Dr to call. Houston, here we come Fuck cancel

2024 PGA Tour
Horrible announcing, I can't stand comments during the 3rd round that a player is currently in gold (silver or bronze) position. There is still a lot of golf to be played.

The legend of both tacos
I remember when it was determined that Crazy chick was actually a youth minister. And I'm some weird cosmic vortex, a few of us knew him from another message board & his church was Las than 10 miles from my work. Shit elevated when he posted photos of crazy chick that were actually a girl from MSU. That shit was off the charts for a short period of time. When Squirrel board went into Super Secret mode. Lesson learned was don't fuck with Shaggy/Surly

Which cruise lines are trashiest?
Just back from our travels - 7 day cruise out of Seattle, 2.5 days before seeing North Cascade NP, 1.5 days after quick trip to Olympia NP/Hurricane Ridge & Dungeness National WR. Overall a good trip, spent with mainly with my wife's family & our kiddo who lives in Seattle. Didn't really try to keep up on the news, wanted to treat this as an escape ..... but holy shit, on Pres candidate shot, the other quit, bunch of airlines went to shit (only affected a couple of folks from our group), and luckily the fire in North Cascade was a few days after we were on the ship (I swear it wasn't me). We were lucky as our days in port were a break from the daily rains they have been having, but on the water it just looking at fog almost all day.

All Encompassing Investment and Financial Planning Thread for the Surly 99.5%
IMO - due what you are comfortable with, unless it is reckless (individuals stocks, ultra concentrated funds, stonks, etc) . Also, make sure you don't have excessive overlap in funds, schedule out to holdings to make sure you know the investment overlap). Unless you need to catch up, it is difficult to get an advisor who can outperform the 1% charge, vs a well structured no cost portfolio of ETFs, CDs, money market, etc. On the other hand if you are under of how to properly balance your investments, pick funds/investments, or have to many people hounding you then. 1% or a fee only advise e can be with the piece of mind

2024 PGA Tour
For a PGA tour pro (elite?) going +1 on the par 5's for the day is indicative of a problem, with a total of 6 holes that have scores of 5 or worse is not gonna win any events
