| Bud Rips Bar in New Orleans - Is it in the original location - PlanoPrivateer on 1/20/13 at 12:19 pm
In another thread someone mentioned Bud Rips. That brought back some very old memories. What I am wondering is, are they still in the same location? 30+ years ago it used to be one of our regular stops on the Downtown Irish Club’s monthly meetings and the annual “practice parade” route a couple w...

I had never been to the Ft Myers stadium and figured this was a g...

Part of my retirement strategy is to have both Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. As has been discussed several times on this board, no one knows what the tax rates will be when we retire so you can’t be sure of which is best for you. I believe that by having both traditional and Roth IRAs I will be ...
