I am going to take a chance and pull the lever for Jackson
Too much not to like about him not being in this for the money. Like trump he is worth billions and is getting on up there in age. I just do not see him being beholden to special interests..:but I have been wrong before.
Senate side i am voting for Collins

We live in Forsyth County GA and our hood is starting to sell quickly again in most instances….homes that have been updated and are going from $600-$750k
I still don’t understand how couples are affording $4-5k a month mortgage payments in their 30s ….

So 175 day test that I am pretty sure is already in production
Man, if they get good results, it could be a very merry Christmas for us all
This reminds me of a pharmaceutical clinical trial, but without all of the red tape and delays in process processing the results hopefully

Anybody buying more or just sitting tight
I search for news each day on this company, but not seeing much
Just feel like if they get one big contract or that 4000 hour trial goes their way this thing might pop

Our kids will be out of house at both my wife and I being 44. And should be off the payroll at 50…youngest should graduate college when were 48.
We obviously didn’t have our 20s and we’re raising kids so I definitely want to retire at ~50 if it all possible

Wow
So practically they have no revenue, but due to their market cap which essentially future earnings, intellectual property revenue, etc.
Canada is going to telax them on that
Kind of like being taxed on unrealized capital gains

We have about $105k in 529s combined for both of my daughters ….one is in her upcoming junior year at auburn and the other will be a senior in HS and wants to follow big sis to AU.
That said my wife’s grandfather left educational trust money that helps pay roughly 55-60% of the expenses
We couldn’t do Auburn out of state without it…or at least taking on debt which I refuse to do.

With that income level, you will not qualify for subsidized ACA

She just listed $120k a year as a desired income example
But yes I think safe to say $25k a year for health care that include monthly premiums for a HDP and then the corresponding out of pocket till you hit your maximum exposure
I am counting on about $35k per year for medical insurance a year once I hit 50 in 7 years
Gonna suck but I guess I could drive a school bus or something if I get tired of paying that much out of pocket

Bucket approach can and does work.
Buddy of mine retired early from Palo Alto at about 55 years of age and uses this approach. His net worth has actually increased
I am planning to hang it up at 50 Lord willing. But want more than $2m to feel comfortable
Medical insurance alone will be $1-1.5k a month for me and Mrs

When is a significant customer contract going to sign?
Peeling the onion back that is only thing that really counts.
They say have 60-70 potential customers under POC but are batting oofer even though if memory serves me they expect to have contracts signed in early q1.
Not sure what kind of sales team they are building or relevant experience but myself have been in B2B fortune 2000 sales roles and leadership the last two decades. I can attest it’s no easy feat getting ink on a contract even when you do have the best products
My hope is that they are getting true sales people on board eventually… and not some egg heads that dont understand personal relationship buying

One of the insiders over on Reddit insinuated that the CFo that was replaced was not getting it done as it relates to the nasdaq uplist
My limit order is in at 26 cents
I’ll raise it to 30 cents this week if it doesn’t fill in a few days
