re: buying service credit from TRS. the short answer is that it increases the pension. Basically a trade-off. Do you like more guaranteed income streams or more $ in the stock market in deferred accounts? I am retiring with 30 years combined ERS and TRS. 30 x 2.3= 69. I get 69% of high five avg. annual Texas salary. Without buying the Alaska years from TRS, I would have had only 24 years credit. The longer answer is that I used "qualified" money, aka traditional IRA money, to buy the years, which reduces the traditional IRA that would be subject to RMDs later on. I just had a retirement plan completed by Trowe and unless the wife dies earlier than expected, I will stay in the 15% or lower tax bracket. Her dying before me puts me into the higher tax bracket unless I remarry. She is 2 years older than me, so I predict we both die about the same time.

Need our 5s to win this second set.

Would you think it fair to say that a HS player who is not a 4+ star recruit doesn't stand much chance of getting drafted? Not that such a ranking means they DO have a good chance, but (without being a recruitnik) it seems like it establishes a pretty decent bar.

Maddie & Karin did what they do, that was easy.

Well kind of? We need good momentum going into the NCAA tournament and we need to lock up a top 8 seed.

Do we really give a shit about the conference tournament? -
We shouldn't have to struggle so much against Kentucky. Thank goodness we have some hitting, because out pitching (other than Kavan) cannot be dependent upon to stop anyone, especially the really good teams. Pitching better really improve or I fear we are not going too far in the playoffs. Last week's sweep by OU was eye opening for me. I thought we could at least win one @ OU.

It’s a shame they haven’t played any games where a play call going different could affect a championship, since Rice in 1957. -
Losing 3 of 5 first sets not ideal. We will need a comeback

Yes, our relationship with money has always been complicated. I have always been the provider, we had the two kids together in the late 90s, she stayed at home long enough to get the kids ready for school and then returned back to work when they went to school. We were never 100% on the same page financially, but we are closer now than we have been in a long time. She definitely has the heart of a spender, but to give her credit, she has compromised in the last half a dozen years. During the Arctic years I did come back to Texas to spend two weeks of Christmas and entire summers with her, but yes, it was the distance we both needed. But, once we moved her into the apartment in SA in 2023, I paid all of the rent. So, I was paying tiny rent above Arctic circle($360) and the rent on the two bedroom apt in SA, about $1000. It didn't hurt that in addition to investing for retirement, I also did the following: 1. paid off the 2022 car-Hyundai Kona-we bought in 2021 - took me about 16 months. 2. bought her a Black Friday deal on a washer and dryer-$1300 all in delivered. 3. paid off previous grad school loans I had incurred in about 2015-about $11000 Who missed each other the most? I think she missed me most.

This show will be getting ratings hits for a long while. Released in the middle of spring (high volume sports season in the US) after a multi-year hiatus. People will be catching up on it all summer and into the fall. I’ll probably watch it 2-3 times by then.
