In NOLA now… which one should I go to?
Varsity Sports Lakeview

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.

re: Saving for Home Down Payment - Where to keep the money?
Posted by kennypowers816 on 1/7/21 at 11:09 am
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.

Pros/Cons/Tips of Traveling with 11-14 month old
Posted by kennypowers816 on 1/3/20 at 3:51 pm
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...

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...

Planet Money Newsletter: Index Fund Questions

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...

My main router is downstairs and is the standard ATT Uverse router
