As someone with young kids, I make sure we are hanging out and spending time with my parents in some manner at least twice a month or so. If we go 3 weeks without seeing them we make specific plans to get together because that’s too long to go without seeing them.

We live an hour away. My wife’s folks live in town and we see them weekly.

If you aren’t seeing your one grandkid at least every other week or so and they live 5 minutes away, that’s a problem imo. They aren’t even that busy so that’s no excuse. It’s just one kid.

About 20% of Americans claim to have seen a ghost. About the same percentage claim to believe that bigfoot is real. 30% or so believe that UFOs are alien spacecraft. About 10% believe in the chemtrails conspiracy.

Damn that’s like 80% of Americans then. Wild.

I could not see myself considering membership anywhere further than 30 minutes away and even that is pushing it.

Oak knoll. Obviously cheap and very close but their greens are awful and I am really not sure how the renovation is going to look by this time next year.

Their greens were awful.... now they're doing a greens renovation... this is a good thing, not a bad thing.

Oak Knoll has a pool and seems to cater to families. My problem with the golf course at the moment is they seem to attract a largely clueless public golf crowd with zero etiquette. They really need to enforce a dress code and get some marshals out there.

2 hotels and a multifamily building? frick these people.

It doesn’t matter how many repeating 9’s you keep tacking on, there’s also always a zero at the end, because the number of potential digits is infinite, which means .99 repeating can never equal 1.

Do you know how stupid this sounds to people who understand math?

I could not disagree more with the OP.

I think high schools should push heavily the value of getting married, and not just getting married, but the importance of having kids and how the nuclear family is the most important aspect of a successful, civilized society.

The discussion should not revolve around prenups and legal implications of anything - because that’s a focus on mitigating impacts should things go wrong.

The discussion should be about having a number 1 life goal of having a nuclear family and finding the right partner to make that happen - with the focus on doing everything you possibly can to make sure things go right.

Why? What they have should have no bearing on what you need in retirement.

No doubt. But seeing those numbers compared to mine at least would provide an apples to apples comparison.

Telling me the average person has $87k and the average boomer has $200k is misleading. Because, again, 50% of society are basically worthless people with no job/drive/ambition.

I’ve got a lot of capital tied up here and am just sitting here each day watching all these AI stocks moon.. does kind of suck.

I don’t believe it’s televised. Just been refreshing every 10-15 minutes. They lost first hole but now 1up thru 7.
