I was toying with this longevity calculator but I’m not sure it’s very useful for me. What am I going to do with odds, ultimately?
Call back to when Mr. SSC had to give notice 4 months earlier than planned for kind of a funny reason.
Harvard Law School was founded on the profits from slavery. Caitlin DeAngelis, a former Harvard and Slavery Research Associate, points out that Harvard isn’t even doing the bare minimum to address this issue.
Penny asks Who are you showing up for? I seriously isolated myself for years while I was dealing with Dad’s scamming. Now, I am trying to make up for lost time with a real effort to keep in touch with people whether it’s by email, text, or phone calls (rarer). And I’m very lucky in that I do have people checking on me, and I feel like it’s just as much as I check on others. It’s not a circle, we just keep passing it forward, and it seems to work.
Purple is 100% stocks. I’ve considered going, and was, 100% stocks in our index funds for a while for the growth but as with all things, I changed my mind after a while. I added bonds back in for balance because I am always concerned about overall risk. What’s your percentage?
About gabapentin’s wide off-label use. This is appalling: Parke-Davis hired medical education companies to write review papers, original articles, and letters to the editor in medical journals about gabapentin for “$13,375 to $18,000 per article,” plus a $1,000 honorarium for the author. The majority of these articles had “favorable” conclusions about gabapentin, and in most instances the payments were not disclosed.

That AirBNB article is off the hook.
YES it is.
Thanks for including me!
You’re welcome!
We’re at 100% stocks and planning to stay that way for the rest of our lives. I have a very high risk tolerance! 😬
It’s wonderful that you’re making such an effort to keep in touch with your people. For us, it’s easy to do with family since they are physically nearby. It’s harder with friends who live in other cities. It really takes conscious effort there.
That’s some excellent risk tolerance!!
Yes, we have to make real effort every year to see friends and family since we’re not physically near anyone.
