Spent this week in Belgium and France. We did Verdun for a whole day. Being able to walk the battlefields there was so powerful. I even went into some of the trenches they used during the war. Damn that was a crazy time.

Just saw it on CNBC and will drop a link when available
How will this impact my trip to Europe?

To withdraw safely in retirement you should follow the rule of 4 or 5%. I wasn’t talking about total return but income provided.
Congrats. $1M in a 401k will pay you $40-50k annually. Not a ton because that is pre-tax but gives you something.
I probably am not smart enough to know how to post pictures but will certainly share my thoughts of the trip after
Yikes I would be down for 100 a day. I don’t stand a chance at 10k in a month
Hate that for the player… not shocking for the saints to lose a player on day one
Free beer tomorrow.

I have never so many warnings in my life.

So weather makes him kind of shite outta luck. Delta doesn’t control the weather so they were kind to offer the vouchers. I know that isn’t what you want to hear but that is the fair thing in the situation. I say that as someone with 1.8M miles with Delta and a diamond since 2014.

I bet this gets enforced as often as slow left lane driving laws and cell phone laws while driving. Nice posturing but shite won’t actually be done.

Have a gallon in the fridge now. Delicious.
Patron passes are the tits. Got to go for the first time last year on a pair for Saturday.
I want to look as good as your old man at that age. Dude looks like he has got it all together. Congrats to your family.
This reminds me of the 1989-1992 boom market back in the day. Things have evolved but it feels like it has that bubble mentality. When an afternoon sports radio show on a Friday is talking about the cards in the deck they opened and not sports, I know it is at the peak or damn near.
Thanks for the intel.

We are going to Dunkirk so I suspect a trip to Ypres will be pretty easy. We will also be in Verdun and I know we have several cemeteries on the agenda.

Thanks for the tips on gas and chocolate. I will load up on both. Appreciate the intel.
I have my full itinerary. Next time I see you I can show it to you. I will make notes after it so you know what we did.
Louisiana has 33.7 per 100k. That would put us 8th on that list. By the logic here we must be overrun by Muslims. Oddly something seems off with the math.
Wish we could make it to Normandy. We will do that on another trip. It is simply too far for us to drive there and back. Appreciate it and will mark down the recommended base. Thank you.
Do you want warm/beach or something a bit cooler? I love Maine and Cape Cod after Labor Day. Easy to get to with the nonstops from MSY-BOS.
