The first four Mambos weren't much, but Mambo No. 5 was a banger

I am not an expert by any means, but there are quite a few benefits to using Roth accounts that you may be missing. Since the Roth grows tax free, many people use it later in retirement. Subsequently, they have it invested aggressively well into retirement. Obviously, you can use Roth to avoid some taxes in early retirement, but if your traditional retirement plan is growing during that time, you may just be kicking the tax can down the road.

As far as it being an "acceptable Roth vehicle", if the investments available are adequate for you, then it should be fine.

Like I said earlier, I'm no expert, so hopefully others will help with your question.

I've played around with it. It has some interesting features, but the issue with that type of software are the assumptions that you have to make to get the projections. People casually put in a rate of return that may be unrealistic and throw off all of the numbers.

The one software that looks really interesting is called Income Lab. It was designed by some mathmaticians and financial planners. It does an amazing job of projecting spend levels and allows for you to include life events like traveling, weddings, new cars, etc. The problem is that it is supposed to be used by only folks who use specific financial advisors. However, they let folks try it for a few months for a minimal fee.

I have a BMW with laser headlights and European programming. This means they stay on bright, but turn off the area pointed toward another car. It really is cool to watch at night.

My second favorite is when the steering wheel shakes to warn you that you are drifting out of your lane. I turned it off in my vehicle, but left it on my wife's car. :lol:

I came to add Alvin Dark. He played football, basketball, and baseball at LSU. In addition to his playing days, he was also a manager in the MLB for 13 seasons. I know it was a different era, but not many players did those things.

It sounds like the ADs are getting in on the "create a rumor/get a raise" scheme that Jimmy Sexton has perfected.

I spy a silver face Fender Twin Reverb. That's a monster amp of at least 100W (some are 135W). An interesting choice, as most people today use low-wattage amps at higher volumes.

I work in healthcare, so I get the flu shot every year. Last year, I got the flu shot, and my older kid did as well. My wife and the other kid didn't. The wife and younger kid got a wicked case of the flu that the first kid and I didn't get. I know, csb, but everyone in our household is getting one this year.

The question is, who will sponsor that dumpster fire?

All of the photos below were taken during the 2024 football season:

Not a single one of those schools are wearing 6 alternates in your post. That's the point.

I agree with this. The problem is that LSU wears what MLB calls "City Connect" jerseys. They are a completely different design. All of those pictures above are traditional jerseys in secondary colors. If LSU stuck to that, it wouldn't be as bad. Also, the vast majority of traditional programs (like the ones pictured) don't change their iconic helmets. LSU does. That is wrong to me.

In 1962, LSU lost to undefeated Ole Miss at home. No way to claim that.
