    Social Security Benefits/Retirement Lesson

    HSA work. 20% penalty for early withdrawls that are not qualified medical expenses. Know the landmines before you step in. Once you hit 65, taxed same as a conventional IRA. Since it goes in tax free, distributions are taxable. Must have changed the rules, IIRC, early on HSA's weren't...

    Social Security Benefits/Retirement Lesson

    Open a taxable account and invest there. No day trading, long term holdings only. Minimize any taxable event other than dividends, etc. Buy lower priced equites that mirror SP500/nasdaq. No fricken Mutual Funds! Get 100 shares and start selling calls on them. Buy shares with the CC...

    13.55 to 14.7ish one at 13.55, the rest were 14.00 and above. Have to click on the +400 photos thing and scroll down a while.

    Golf Simulator

    Spent a bunch of time in those things when I played a lot. 62 and getting it done. :thumbsup: I joke with old friends that when I was a younger, couldn't stand golf. Out dunking basketballs in 8th grade, football, soccer knocking the crap out of others... Then later, golf became the...

    Yeah that's I said about the treatment... they have the 24 treatment on the car, not the 21 ladder.

    '71 Duster 340 with 10k miles on BaT. Not mine

    Cool car. It's had some paint work done on it. Specifically the hood. It's got a V24 treatment and not the V21. Hey it's got a $480 water pump on it! Check out the invoice at end of pictures. OUCH

    Performer 318/360 intake

    The voodoo cams from Lunati were more aggressive from what I recall and not noisy like the comp XE stuff. Lobe shape must be the answer. I've used a bunch of comp XE stuff over the years

    school me on 8 3/4

    Waste of money on the case swap. That strength bullshit again... LOL it's not the pinion size that is important or the weak point. If you were to swap it over, swap the ring gear, take the complete unit with bearings and races and swap into other units, set backlash. Outer races are same...

    Social Security Benefits/Retirement Lesson

    That employer matching in a 401K etc. We used to have an 6% limit with the employer matching up to 3% of our pay as contribution. Instant 50% return. Don't turn that down. The other thing I say. If someone is under 35, do not invest in anything but higher risk investments like the...

    Social Security Benefits/Retirement Lesson

    I'll throw this out there. If your full retirement benefit at 67 is 1428 and you pull it at 62, you get 1000/month 70% of full benefit. You'll collect 60K over those 5 years. If your two payments don't change at all, it would take 140 months to catch up, almost 12 years. At 79 you'd...

    Social Security Benefits/Retirement Lesson

    I had to do some kind of verification process as I have a suffix on my name and my mom hated it, so she had my social without it. See if they can do a webcam verification, IIRC, that is what I did and it wasn't a two month wait. Set up the laptop, they got my DL/SS card and maybe a birth...
