When you've spent your entire career saving for retirement, it's downright hard to shift gears into the spending mode. My kids say the same thing to me that you're saying to your FIL. Three things that are helping me loosen up... Taking a distribution then seeing that I've recouped it quickly. Knowing that I always intended for that to be my retirement money, not intending to give my children an inheritance. And lastly, spending a week in the hospital this year when I've never been hospitalized before. Just keep at your in-laws, they may eventually listen. I know I've been influenced to travel more due to my son repeatedly telling me to enjoy my retirement. Good luck!

Yep, I live in Tennessee. Trump will win the TN primary, no doubt. In a Tennessee primary, you must select either a democrat or republican slate from which to vote. The dems despise Kennedy, imagine the melt if he were to win his primary. I think your idea is brilliant, and I just may have to follow your lead on this one.

Reiner is right. Who else has been able to tank the economy, jail political opponents, send ATF agents to the homes of law abiding citizens, etc. in a mere two years?

So far, silence on the mandate from my company, a DOE prime contractor. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Remember this: Tennessee went Republican when Tennessee's own native son, the Creator of the Internet, ran for president.

Now THAT'S conservative.
