DFW Dinner Recs
Posted by SmokeyRice92 on 6/22/26 at 3:51 pm
Wife and I will be celebrating an anniversary in the DFW area this weekend. Looking for the best steak + atmosphere.
Is Monarch worth the $125 pp window seating?
Also considering Stillwells, Bobs, Nick and Sam’s, or Al Biernats.
Bonus: best Tex mex for lunch?
Thanks for any help!

Long time TD lurker, very new poster. The food board is my absolute favorite on here, especially the WFDT’s.
That means a lot coming from you! Thanks!

Considering a service rollover and getting out of the 403 B altogether

So it looks like I should transfer both to Fidelity or Vanguard? I know those are both TD favorites.

Yes it can, I’m not sure if their 5 percent match or any gained interest will go with it or not. But I can definitely take out my contributions.

Thanks for the info, I will definitely read into that! I’m not against leaving the 403 B open as a “safe haven” but I feel it’s a decent chunk of change that could be more beneficial elsewhere.

Evening all,
Long time TD lurker here, first time poster.
Background: 33 years old. Teacher/Coach in Texas, coming up on my 10th year.
I have a 403 B and a Roth IRA through National Life Group. I have been contributing to the 403 B for 7ish years and the Roth for 2 or so years.
I just recently realized that both the 403 B and Roth are in the form of an annuity. I guess I am an idiot, but I did not know any better in my mid 20's and thought I was doing a great thing starting an additional savings account to my TRS.
I have had a good experience with National Life Group but did not realize I was missing out on long term gains to my accounts.
National Life Group is free services to me being that I'm an educator in Texas and they contribute 5% to every contribution I make to either account. Their Roth limits yearly is also 8,000. But the yearly returns are very low compared to other things from what I have been told.
So, I need confirmation from the TD experts that I DO need to move my money away from NLG? And if so, where and what to?
I know I have come to the right place
:cheers:
