Noobs.

Invest in rural, remote property. Then invest in heirloom seeds, livestock, off grid power generation, and lots and lots and lots of ammo.

Miami is a hot market and I have adjusted the condo value, my fedora, and amount of life insurance accordingly.

you shut your whore mouth

guys, guys, guys.

Let us remember what is important.

Tonight we have football.

Thanks. Looks like I need to roll over a traditional into a Roth and find a good accountant. Thanks, Melkerson.

IIRC there is literally a finance forum on 2+2

Just as there is literally a place to post gratuitous noodz. We call that subforum Health & Fitness.

Please keep content relevant to the related subforum.

BtM, please get us back on track. We need you more than ever.

I'm at work! Outta luck right now

This is so true. Lifting before kids and after is a totally different experience. I only started lifting <1yr before I had a kid, but during that time I could do SS three days a week, do some mobbing on off days and really focus on nutrition.

Once I had the kid a ton of my free time evaporated. I can barely lift twice a week and I have a pretty decent set up in my house. I'm sure that I do have the time to lift as much as I did, but it requires a lot more WIM, planning, and sacrifice of other pursuits. However, pre-kid, I had so much time that putting in 3 lifting sessions a week was essentially effortless.

If you're not lazy like me (and the wife is into it as well), then you could probably maintain your regimen after a kid, but it will be harder.

A second kid will definitely make things much harder. It's amazing that guys like Monte and DT can make any gainz at all.

I have to wake up at 445am to lift. Just lol me. lollin all the way to the GAINZ BANK that is.

But seriously, it's not ideal.

That said, I can officially tell that Melkerson is not a **** and has had his life enhanced by being a dad. I can feel it.

Yeah, that's the kind of WIM that I can't and won't ever have. I'd rather be fat and weak than do that, so I am.

lol at me making gainz

And the only reason I can find time to lift is because I have a flexible enough work situation that I can fit it into a 75 minute or so lunch break; if I had to do it after work, I'd have to wait until the kids went to bed or some ****. Compliance would go way down.

POW,

1. Contributing to a 401k has no bearing on whether you'll get the tax benefits on a traditional IRA. The only thing that matters is your income. If your income is low enough that you can get the full benefit then whether you convert to Roth or not depends on what you think your future tax situation will be (see Monte's post on this point). If your income is too high to get any benefit, then there is (almost) no point in getting a traditional IRA unless your are going to convert it to a Roth.

2. Honestly, you don't need a good accountant just for this. I do my own taxes now and everything is mindlessly entered into turbo tax except for this. It takes about 20 extra minutes, because I have to look it up every year. The hard part is just knowing that this is tricky. Once that you know that, doing it correctly won't take much effort at all.

I have found the ideal work situation. Wake up and have a casual morning until ready to go lift. Lift. Come home. Lunch. Work for 4 or so hours. Then enjoy the rest of the evening with my family.

Pretty ideal, if you don't consider that "enjoy the rest of the evening with my family" is code for slave labor at the elf farm making XXXmas toys 24/7.

Bros. Trying to expand my repertoire. What are some good date ideas? Generally all I ever do is go out and eat food and drink alcohol and then hope to bang. That's always a great time and all, but just looking to keep it fresh. Creativity is welcome.

Go Karts
Gun range
Minor league baseball/hockey

Those were fun 15 years ago before wife and kids. No idea what youngs are doing these days.

saw,

1) Invite her over to sit on the sidelines while you play Xbox one
2) Let her know that you're planning on doing something with her very soon, but don't let her know what or when. Just show up when you feel like it
3) Visit a puppy kennel together
4) Discuss the pros/cons of financial investments

Okay, now you try coming up with an idea.

Aidan - so Oprhan Black is good? I have had multiple normals recommend it to me IRL recently. Problem is you can only trust what you read on internet forums so I'm skeptical.

Sounds like food, alcohol, and banging is still my top date idea, eh?

Yeah, this. 4:45am? WTF is this, Nazi France?!

FYP

That....is tremendous!

These still should be a lot of fun.

Try weighing poop. Sure 999/1000 times it ends the date, but that last time, well hello Frau Saw.

I should've mentioned btw I'm looking for night ideas.

I can start slow by seeing what she likes of these videos:
