That's the problem I need in my life. The real problem is the average home price is $3,037,163.

re: What stock or ETF gave you your biggest gains?

Posted by RedlandsTiger on 6/6/26 at 9:21 am to Dow 101

Mine's AAPL also. I purchased it in 2018 at a basis cost per share at $17.44. It's gone up 1,662.65% since then. CLS is second, up 1,319.66% (it was purchased in 2023 with a per share basis cost of $26.18).

Diversify in tech and buy SMH ETF. It's up 160.65% in the past year. If you had invested $10k in it ten years ago, it would be worth $260k today.

re: Am I Essentially Doomed To Weight Loss/Diabetes Medicine?

Posted by RedlandsTiger on 5/23/26 at 5:38 am to TheMagicMan

Try the NOOM app. It is a subscription plan but it will help you lose weight, eat better and exercise by tracking what you do in the app. By making eating, psychological and lifestyle changes it help you lose weight weekly. But you have to be committed to stick with it for it to work.

What's the note per month? If you pay it off, you have the note amount for living expenses.

Health care is going to be one of your biggest expenses. Is your wife on Medicare? I retired at 66 and I had to buy Obama Care for my wife and it was $1,100 a month. Buy term life insurance in case you die. Convert 1/3 of your retirement to a Roth and generate income, tax free in it. How much is left on your house?

I've met Canadians that now live in the US. And they say the Canadian health care is crap. There economy is about equivalent to Mississippi's. There military is a joke.
