I'll be honest, I don't know shit about it and I should. Ol' John Hancock is handling most of my shit...my quarterly retirement reports always look good, but fuck if I know if it could be better or not.

My flight got delayed hours last night. Wife and I got hammered at the airport bar. First time getting really drunk in a while. Revo hung over right now. This sucks.

 

[DangDaGawd]

Looked into it a bit more, you're right... it was such a shit area 10 years ago that prices never really got too high. It's absurd right now.

Bunch of 700k+ crap shacks... wow, I didn't realize.

Still looking at these homes, I want no part of that lol... economy takes a swing and that area will get hit hard.

If you buy a smaller property to rent out, I think you'd be safe. I have neither the money nor would assume the risk of flipping homes at this point in my life. Buying rental properties tends to be safer imo.

I really need to get a financial advisor. I have zero idea what Im doing outside of trying to save cash.

Stocks and all of that might as well be written in a foreign language. Dont understand any of it.

My theory is that I'll be dead before retirement, so why worry?

I could lend you invaluable investing advice in a few paragraphs and save you all the bullshit money you'd spend on a financial advisor.

Or if you can read... I'll send you the title of a book to buy. PM for details.

In all honesty... this is something to consider. If you're a smoker, an alcoholic, or terribly obese... don't bother with 401ks... you're not going to make it.

there are so many nicer houses like 30 minutes away, in Yucca Valley

but they're generally 3-500k, which isn't alot for SoCal in general but is staggering for out here

the ones here are like 80-150k, or 250-300 for the nicest ones like my dad's that are newer, custombuilt. The cheaper ones all need substantial work though, the main reason i haven't bought. I can't fix shit

Dick pics incoming, check inbox.

Toss said paragraph up. I need to gain some education on this stuff sooner than later.

Youtube will show you how to fix a massive amount of things around your house. Youd be surprised how mucb stuff you can do on your own. And its really invaluable knowledge.

not necessarily, especially if it's matching

off the bat you're automatically doubling your investment w/o any actual gains or losses. So even if you then take it out early (due to health concerns or whatever), you pay the taxes and 10% fee and should still be ahead, even more so if actual gains from the market...I mean you could have simply used that money in real time, and likely died earlier from buying more alcohol/cigarettes haha

or am i just ming'd

no doubt
i had to switch a 3 prong dryer outlet to a 4 prong when i moved to El Paso.

No clue where the grounding wire went or whatever, YT solved that in like 2 minutes.

Investopedia.com has some great introductory information on all the basics of investing, capitol, and corporate finance

great, to me, for first time investors or those looking to understand what various teams mean and what they represent (bid ask spread, or EPS, LIFO/FIFO, or D/E ratio for instance)

First it all depends on what you're trying to save for? If it's only retirement needs just focus on contributing to your 401k.

 

[Graves The Elder]

Ill assume because hes Muslim?

he posted a pic on FB of his daughter being really happy to see the tree and a bunch of angry muslims posted hate messages,
one saying he wanted to kill Khan and his family because they were celebrating a pagan holiday. sad.

 

[HunterSdVa29]

it's amir khan, not prince hamed who had 'islam' embroidered on his shorts

'how dare you adapt to the modern, Western world you live in!' crazy times

i wonder if like Luol Deng celebrates xmas? or Waiters?

 

[Graves The Elder]

I've got a really great financial advisor. Just make sure you don't end up paying a bunch of 'management' fees and such. Most of my money is in tax free muni bonds, AAA only. Maybe a corporate and/or a stock fund as well.
Bottom line is, I don't need to lay awake at night worrying about my investments.

I want to make $ on investments and save $ for retirement in the 401k, and save cash in savings (to likely blow on stupid things).

Right now I put 10% into my 401k, employer matches 5%. I have it set to increase every 6 months until it reaches the max. I put $50 a check into company stock purchases, which they handle.

Outside of that info I have no idea what to do further or what Im doing lmao.

Religion of peace.

He should track them down and give them the hands. Then again he may get knocked out lmao!

I feel bad for Prince. Could you imagine coming up and really finding your religion and embracing it as you mature into an adult while also being smack dab in the limelight as a generally hated heel in boxing...and then 911 happens. It quickly goes from "I hate that fucking boxer" to "Look at this piece of shit terrorist"
