I actually don’t mind feral. It could be used to describe wider swath than just our legacy homeless.
I went through this about 10-12 months ago. Ultimately I decided to pivot towards Roth 401k. As it stands between 401k, IRA, HSA we had approximately 75-80% pre-tax and 20-25% Roth/HSA.

All employer contributions will go to pre-tax and the balance will compound at such a trajectory that without action now we risked substantial RMD and tax “time bomb” for our children.

It sucks to be paying more in taxes since my mindset was opposite all along but this is the right move to give our family the flexibility in retirement to optimize our tax situation.

The front end looks good but the taxes paid is not updating when I input all 4 buckets.

I like what you’ve done here and I come with two requests:
1) can you add 55 and 57 as retirement ages?
2) can you include various account types: brokerage, hsa, Roth, traditional retirement?

Thank you!
Will be in Gulf Shores next week and would like to catch some snapper. 5 or 6 hour trip. 4-5 adults and maybe 1 kid.

Who do you recommend I call?

My mom’s dad married woman younger than my mom. Mom and siblings were cut out of that estate. What you described isn’t a fear I’m ready to discuss with my wife but I want to be sure the fruits of our labor go to our children and not to a gold digger.

I heard they was catching last week on Timbalier. I’d expect they are on the beaches in GI.

Can you provide any snapper charter recs?

Nice work. I’m early in the journey but love great photography and am getting some good shots but am inconsistent.

What are the specs on your lenses you use for these photos?

I forgot to mention Ronnie “Cuz” Strickland, Mossy Oak OG, was in camp the same time we were taking his grandsons hunting.

Down to earth guy that was telling some good stories. He was also engaged and enjoyed hearing my story about the bird I took with my 6yo. He said he’s been going to this ranch for 25 years.

Self guided, they may have fully guided option though.
