Agreed. They should let Obamacare collapse.

This is probably the best political strategy, however I think Trump feels like he needs to mitigate ACA enough to help launch tax reform. I'm not sure how they're tied in.

One thing is for damn sure. The full repeal and replace is a pipe dream as they're just not enough votes to do anything more than mitigate Obamacare.

How you gonna advise clients,when you can't advise yourself

Answered that question already. Lawyers need lawyers, therapists need therapists, financial experts need financial experts. It's often a blind side for many (including myself apparently) to ignore your own advice. Looking back, I probably invested way too much of my money into safari hunting. I should have just listened to myself and just taken more traditional vacations.

Time to pawn that rock on her finger baw. Tell her thieves broke in and stole it.

If I'm in that much trouble, I might as well file for bankruptcy. I'm sure it will all work out or I'm out of here. I just needed an outlet to rant.

Maybe you should look at becoming an uber driver.

I'm seriously considering it, however there's no way I could show my face in my neighborhood. My wife would ask questions if she found out.

The good news is I like the fact you can control what hours you work for Uber.

Cuz a high credit score totally means you're some financial genius :lol:

I'm not going to argue with a 12 year old on how a credit score works. I never said I was a "financial genius" -- just a financial coach.

I thought this would be a good thread to find a community to discuss this with, however I'm getting called all kinds of names and getting down-voted. I guess even in 2017 people are just jealous of success.

2 huge crashes in the 1980s

Yeah apparently Houston was hit very bad in the 80's. I'm just hoping this will be a short cycle. I'm also wondering whether maybe we should cap the amount frackers can frack in order to increase prices.

Maybe you should get a real job.

I would argue financial planning/coach is a real job! Has anyone flipped houses before? I have good credit for a loan so any advice would be appreciated.

These falling oil prices are garbage. It's absolutely killing our economy in Louisiana and affecting our state budget. Even I'll admit our family is struggling to make ends meet and I'm considering getting a line of credit to bridge our mortgage until prices come back next year (as it helps subsidizes my financial planning business and wife's barre class business)

Seriously, it's time our government finally refuses to deal with OPEC's BS and get prices back to a respectable level!

If we can't either get the breakeven price lower or increase the price of oil, I'll be forced to leave Louisiana and bring my tax revenue with me.

I've always enjoyed old metairie but I'll sell our place and pick up and move to our vacation house in a heart beat.

With that said, anyone else have a house on Rosemary Beach? If so, how's the economy during the non-tourist season? I'm considering flipping houses.

Well, I see you're going into this with a completely unbiased open mind

I think the Alabama and Auburn dude are proving my exact points.

You want me to disprove your baseless opinion that all Baptist and Non-denominational churches are full of simpletons?

Generally speaking, in Louisiana, that is accurate. Sure, you could point out some 1% exceptions but I've attended these churches all across the state for the past 20 years and yes they generally are. Whether viewing simpletons as a good or bad thing is certainly relative. We can learn from ALL human beings, regardless of their views.

However, in my opinion, I'd prefer to surround myself with more critical thinking minded folks at my place of worship.
