We used to do a half cow (big family) in the 1970's early 80's and always got bones, which we then cooked along with whatever we were cooking, but we gave them to the dogs. Those were very happy dogs who knew what was coming when you started the grill. During a hurricane, our neighbors left town...
Watch some of these videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wazg6u3ESco&list=PLxq-i2px3tgwUF-JL2z0YLOJpCsrMttVw Even though they are long, I thoroughly enjoy watching them....
Shop around to find the best ground beef in your area. Here, I have found it is Pulbix Greenwise Ground Chuck. Grass Fed is usually too lean, all that Wagyu and Kobe seems to be lesser cuts that are ground finer but with a higher fat content. Don't buy patties, buy ground beef. Don't form the ...
The people who make the loan and finance the loan need to be tied to the risk of the loan. We all saw what happened in 2008 when mortgage brokers would make any loan to anyone and mortgage buyers bought any loan regardless of credit quality. The student loan situation today is very similar. T...

re: savings for grandchild

Do a 529 or some other kind of account that you like, but set up a small savings account and put a little money in it at Christmas every year and discuss it with them but don't let them spend it. Then, when they get old enough to earn income, do a match on whatever they put in there. You can do a ...
[quote]It is an entitlement because your average recipient takes out far more than they put in. [/quote] Depends on how you look at it. SS works by totaling how much you how much you made of the top 35 years of your life and then indexing those earnings to inflation. Then SS plugs that figu...
[quote]Meanwhile, interest on the debt (which we are largely incurring due to ss and Medicare) is now the 2nd largest expenditure. [/quote] Not true Medicare and SS are flawed programs, but as of right now Congress has not borrowed any money to fund them. Congress has borrowed money from them ...
Because the judiciary failed the people. Most ran and hid, declaring "no standing". I wish that O'Keefe guy would get some of these judges on tape....
That 1 for 2 reduction only applies to earned income from a job or business, not unearned income from investments and retirement assets. However, unearned income does result in a part of your SS benefits being taxable income, and in one of the most unfair twists in tax law I can think of, for a...
If you pass through Roberstdale, try Farm Fresh Meats. Everything from there is excellent. I haven't been there in a while, but they did have dry aged the last time I was there....
Mine is mostly stock with about two years of current spending in cash and one year in a floating rate fund. However, I am getting an annual payout from an ESOP over the next four years which will be in cash, and each payment will be in the neighborhood of two years of my spending. So I will reallo...
You should consider your top marginal income tax rate now and what you expect it to be in retirement. You don't know what the rates will be in the future, just use today's rates, or go back and use the Obama rates. It probably works the same. Use a reasonable rate to project your tax deferred 4...
If it has a traditional automatic transmission and you just let it sit without properly preparing the transmission, you will probably have to replace or rebuild the transmission when you return. If it has a tank mounted fuel pump. same thing. ...
[quote]Are you saying the House led by Johnson loosened sanctions on Iran and such?[/quote] No, but Biden did, and the intelligence community that would have warned Johnson about Iranian Nukes works for Biden and would surely have objected to giving Iran money to fuel their nuclear ambitions....
Why does he expect anyone to believe this when we just loosened sanctions and gave Iran billions of $ to further their terrorist and military goals? Surely if such dire intelligence exists, our intelligence community would have prevented that. At the very least, the intelligence community would be...
Don't forget: the Obamacare Cliff also returns at the same time.... For a lot of people, that will be bigger than the sunset of the Trump Tax Cuts, though I think your $200K family example may not get burned, a 150 K family who needs Obamacare may feel a big bite....
He's probably worrying about the monster under his bed that is waiting to get him....
If you have a lot of money in a traditional or rollover IRA, you might also consider a Roth conversion or a series of Roth conversions. If your conversion has been in your Roth for five years, you can get the conversion amount tax free without penalty. That's one reason why it is often better to ...
[quote]Where do you people get this horse shite?[/quote] By living through the 1980's. Do you remember the 1980's made for TV movie called "The Day After" which aired in 1984, an election year, showed the nuclear destruction of the United States, and imitated Reagan's voice in a post apocalyps...
