Reallly..?

Yeah it’s not timing the market. It’s being wary that the market is unpredictable at this particular moment in time, and investing in the S&P is a wildcard. In then 2.32 apy will cast you above inflation with 0% risk. Might as well invest in Tesla and Apple if you don’t really care about the state of the market

They are giving you a 50% cut to hold the money? Sounds shady.

Ha, just joking with you first thought was hiding assets during divorce (or FAFSA).

“Can we make the drizzle a little more luscious?”

My issue is less with the fact that the word “luscious” is pretty binary. The drizzle is either luscious or it isn’t. My issue is the “a little more” part. So, it’s luscious right now. We want it MORE luscious—but definitely not a lot more, just a little. Otherwise it would be TOO luscious. Can’t have that.

Huge thanks to all who weighed in on my weight loss post. Have peloton-ed and cut late night food and can see results - with Wegovy as a backup. Thanks to all who commented. Next question - has anybody with larger male body (big shoulders barrel chested long torso short legs wide feet) found high end clothing that fits? I find luxury brands are limited, made for 5’5” androgynous 125 lb men. Tired of wearing overly baggy stuff. Ralph Lauren has been best so far with XXL slim fit. Thoughts?

I’ve seen a couple posts lately with comments saying that people should not use a Roth 401k. Does the logic below capture the spirit of that concept?
1. Use trad. 401k to reduce taxable income now. Convert to trad. IRA once retired, then convert gradually to Roth IRA (ladder, SEPP, etc.) at lowest marginal tax rate
2. Use Roth IRA (and/or backdoor Roth) to take advantage of tax free growth and ability to withdraw principal early without penalty
