That looks like a laptop, not a PDA. But if im wrong about that, it's a huge PDA not a little one.

Thanks. The android keyboard ruins my life.

I put a good chunk of my 401k in CDs.

Edit:

It's less than an 8th of my fund, just because I don't like where the market is sitting right now, I'm keeping something secure in case something bad happens to me while something bad happens to the world.

My point was to respond to someone who is morally opposed to stocks. There are other ways to go about it (irrespective of good advice).

It seems to me that the employer will fund it either way. Maybe I'm misremembering stories of pensions being mismanaged and lost. I think the most important thing is that the employer actually does something to fund a retirement, in my way of thinking the 401k approach puts me in control of the money so I don't rely on someone else to not fail.

Whether it's promised bonuses, stocks, or retirement funds, my motto is always "show me the money", and I'll believe it when it's in my hands.

Take what you can't afford, support what you can, share if you dare, and do not trade for money.

What's your cadence for maintenance? Is there anything you think you should be doing more frequently? Is there anything you do extra proactively because you don't like seeing it left undone?

I'm also curious about how much time you spend taking care of your home and how that balances with the rest of your personal life, and how you share the load with other people you live with.

Feel free to be economic with the truth by using aliases for organizations and products wherever it protects your privacy or your contracts. I'm mainly interested to hear about your unique experience.

Example follow-up questions: What was most rewarding, what was not? What was not a great use of your time but maybe still a learning experience? What were you interested when you were younger (for hobbies or otherwise) that may have helped guide you?

I guess that's probably easier than learning how to wipe your ass.

That sounds cool fun and easy but armed and untrained and undisciplined nut jobs crawling from the woodwork is not going to be a clean finish for anyone involved. Obviously this isn't meant to be a deterrent for the justice system... but we're working on a different tier here. It's not going to be high profile business and agencies fighting each other. It's going to be normal working people being attacked by deranged wing nuts and always by surprise, because there will be no centcom for them.

So, if you think you're going to be prepared for an outcome like this, I do wonder what you're packing.

I've had 2 multiple day power outages in the Milwaukee area, and 4 or 5 shorter ones over the past few years. It literally never used to happen.

Thank you for doing your part to ensure this gumball machine lives to see at least one more rummage sale.

I don't like it, but at least the numbers are ordered by specificity. MM/DD/YYYY is a big red flag.
