Keep in mind, none of the Murdochs are Americans. They were born and raised in Australia and most of the wives are British or Australian. Australian conservativism is not the same thing as US (see what I did there)....

I think we can legitimately say that Lloyd Austin is the worst Secretary of Defense in history. Not only this idiocy but he also destroyed Ukraine, pushed Russia into bed with China, and has the Afghanistan debacle on his watch while also disappearing once where no one knew where he was when he had ...

re: Insurance - file claim? Or pay out-of-pocket

Sounds like he’s paying $5000 regardless. It’s $250 and file or $5000 and not file. I doubt they are raising your payment by $5000 over the next few years. My experience is that insurance does not rise when you file normal claims like vandalism for cars or cracked windshield. Never owned a boat ...

re: Will 30 year mortgage rates ever see 4.5% again?

Find a family member who wants 5% in their money for 20 years. You can still take the mortgage interest deduction through a CPA. I did this with my dad to give him 4.5% on money he wanted to invest....

re: How would you invest $100,000

Posted by Drizzt on 7/17/24 at 10:31 am

Fund your tax advantaged accounts first. If you don’t have these, set up a Roth IRA. Fully fund whatever is available from your employer. Pay off any debt financed at more than 5%. After that, I’d probably park the remainder in a high yield account making 5% or more and start dollar cost averaging o...

re: Saving for First Home

Posted by Drizzt on 7/17/24 at 9:28 am

The best advice I can give you is buy less than you qualify for and only buy if you are going to stay there at least 6 years. You don’t want to be house poor and you will have a major expense you don’t expect like an A/C unit or new roof. It’s usually easier to buy a home than sell a home. ...

re: When to pull the trigger on new home build

Posted by Drizzt on 7/16/24 at 6:49 pm

Less than 1000 sq ft is small for two years. You could add a 200-400 sq ft prefab shipping container home to that and it would make a big difference in livability for less than $20,000. I’d also look at home plans that are expandable. Maybe you could get away with building a $250,000 smaller hom...

This is fricking dumb. Vance said things about Trump in 2016. He’s clearly seen the light since then. He’s one of the few senators telling the truth about Ukraine.
