Hey TD Cigar folks… I want to get a gift card for a guy who likes cigars a lot, but I have no idea what type he smokes though. Location needs to be in Metairie or Kenner. He isn’t an everyday smoker but he likes to smoke them at celebrations or occasionally just a Friday evening at home. He al...

Bumping this thread because of some good dining suggestions. I’m going in 2 weeks with the wife. Anywhere we should get reservations in advance or just walk in everywhere? I looked at websites of some of the places recommended in this thread but didn’t see reservation options for any. ...

I was in the same situation a few years ago. I left it in a savings account. To me, the risk wasn’t worth the upside. I wanted to make sure I had my down payment secured to avoid PMI. If you’re comfortable with potentially losing some of your down payment and having to pay PMI or waiting lo...

I'll second the Aspen and Ouray recommendations. Aspen is wonderful in September. It is "off season" there. No winter skiing crowds and no summer hiking crowds, but the weather is still mild enough to hike as much as you want. Also, the Aspens are changing colors, which is amazing. I di...

We used to try to take at least one 10-14 day trip every year before the wife got knocked up. We're trying to get back to it this year and because of work schedules, we would ideally want to do it when the baby is just about a year old. Thankfully, we have options to leave him at him home with...

2 general questions for those who know a lot about the program... (1) - are the AGI ranges for earnings enhancements for single filers or joint or both? Seems like they would list AGI ranges for different filing statuses, but maybe I'm missing something (2) - assuming your AGI > 100k, the ear...

[quote]Cant believe it took them so long to open a store in south Louisiana[/quote] Likely, this is at least partially because of LA's 6% markup law. Historically, they haven't moved into new markets with minimum markups, but they recently have started to. It will be interesting to see what...
To preface this, I am in my early 30's and far from a recession alarmist. I subscribe to the theory that with a 25-30 year horizon, my best option is to continue to DCA as much as possible into tax-advantaged retirement accounts and invest in broad market index funds. As such my largest holding by...
