reminds me of  this.

I absolutely love driving that 964.  The only reason I plan to sell it is because IMO it has the least upside of the Porsches I own, and it would be the easiest to replace somewhere down the road.  Maintenance is average. I do an oil change every year and new tires every 3 years.  I bought it...

Fair enough.   Those DD's are used by me, my wife, and my 2 sons, although I tend to rotate through them.

Interesting.  I've collected too many cars.  Daily drivers are Audi A6 Quatro, Audi Q7, Volks GTi, Porsche Mecan S, and then for fun I have a '96 Porsche 993 C2 Coupe, a '90 Porsche 964 triple black Cab, and a '75 Porsche Carrera coupe.  Plan to sell the GTi and '90 Porsche soon just to free up...

We will use Cobra for 18 months. So, when I'm 61.5 we'll have to buy our own plan.  I already got a quote, and in today's dollars/rates it'll be $30K/year.

I'm 59 and I'm done somewhere between Dec and June '19.  All depends on how fast my replacement is found. It's been fun planning with my wife.  We decided to keep our place in a very low cost of living area, but to also rent another place during winters.  Have zeroed in on NC, SC, TN, or CO. ...

I think you said your son is 12.  When my son was 12 I would have been saying all the things you're saying.  But, now that it's all in my rear view mirror I have the opposite opinion.  Besides my older son (the baseball player) I have a younger son involved in another sport.  We didn't travel as...

When my son was playing travel ball he originally intended to play in college.  But, he understood that most of the opportunities were with non-D1 programs, and he seemed good with that.  Then, when the reality set in, and he realized the D3 schools that wanted him were smaller than his high...

Yeah, it's pretty sad that we don't even cherish the memories we have of all that travel.  We went to Guatemala, and traveled extensively throughout the entire Midwest.  The last summer (before his senior year) we simply couldn't wait for it all to end.  He was incredibly bummed that he missed...

My son is now a Frosh in college and we went all in on travel ball.  Looking back, I can't believe we sacrificed every spring break and every summer just for him to be on the travel team.   He was one of the top players on the team and after his Junior year he was selected to be the catcher on...

I just me with my financial dude for a routine account review.  One of the items we covered was the 529 plan I established for my 2 boys (one in first year of college and the other is still in high school). In 2009 I left my prior employer and I received a lump sum payment of $84K for cash I...

That's almost exactly what I did for my wife's 50th.  I rented a private room at a very nice Italian restaurant.  There were about 60 guests and we had dinner, plenty of wine, and an open bar.  I think it ran about $6,000, but it was worth it.  I had to surreptitiously comb through all her...

Got it. Thanks for the explanation.

Not sure what your point is.  There are many women’s wrestling programs at all levels.  It is one of the fastest growing sports.  Here’s an article I saw just a few minutes ago...
