  1. Touche. In my defense I never took french, though I should have known fiancee was the proper female version of the betrothed. Learn something new every day.
  2. Didn't your father valiantly give his life on this gem of a night? There are worse ways to die than surrounded by family while watching an aggy collapse against your team.
  3. No corresponding wash rule for gains, just losses. The IRS is happy to take your capital gains as soon as you realize them. You can try to offset some of those gains with some capital losses, but you'll need to honor the wash rule on those.
  4. That is a fiance's ass, not a wife's ass. There's a huge difference.
  5. Thought a bit more about this. If you're not content to just take your 20% windfall and get back in now like some have suggested (which is good advice IMO) you could leg in. Invest 20% now. If it goes up or down 5% (based on original numbers) throw in another 20%. So if it's a quick rebound you'll have 20% invested at each of -20,-15,-10,-5 and 0. If it's 2008 all over again you'll have 20% invested at each of -20,-25,-30,-35,-40. It's not perfect but absent a crystal ball to know the bottom, nothing is. Only 2 problems I see are 1) the market is so volatile you might just miss these benchmarks on a snapback if you're not diligently watching and 2) I have no idea what I'm doing and am just a buy and hold idiot.
  6. This. With my bonus in December, I hit my magic number. That number that I'm pretty confident if I really wanted to I could make it last the rest of my life using the 4% rule- not in the lap of luxury but also without eating cat food. I actually considered moving all that amount to treasuries and then aggressively investing any future contributions in the market. Did I do that? Of course not, I guess I'm a dance with the one that brung me type of guy. Or a total dumbass. Probably the latter.
  7. Vanguard funds in my personal taxable ( ie non-retirement account) which is the only place this strategy makes sense due to tax issues.
  8. Sell your position at a loss and buy a similar fund. This allows you to realize the loss for tax purposes but you stay in the market. Note that you can't sell at a loss and buy into the same fund unless you wait 30 days (see wash sale rule) so that's why you buy a similar fund instead of the same fund. In my case, I sold my vanguard small cap fund positions that were at a loss and bought vanguard extended market fund. Still have small cap exposure, but I get to realize losses now and offset vs ordinary income up to $3000.
  9. Just did some tax loss harvesting- might as well make some lemonade out of this shit sandwich (isn't that how the saying goes?)
  10. Who the hell carries $50 bills? I mean, they're kind of like the $2 bill, I know they exist but I can't remember the last time I actually saw one.
  11. I know he's rich as hell, but Larry still gets laid a lot for a bald, anorexic geriatric. And that's not even counting the magical vagina he had in the bag but pissed away over $500.
  12. I suppose it's theoretically possible that concussion concerns reduce the game solely to deep snapping, placekicking and punting.
  13. So, really not at all like a psycho girlfriend or wife?
  14. At least they correctly spelled the name of his sister-in-law, Brenda Phenis.
  15. As a lifelong claustrophobe, I can confidently say el cuco is quite safe from me if he hides out in the great expectations cave.
  16. Page 2 and no gif of soccer player saying the jews did this? Surly has coronavirus.
  17. Really enjoying this and Zoe is certainly easy on the eyes. One issue with a plot point
  18. 12 month for regular, 6 month for magical (I'm at work so fill in the blanks). I still remember when Sefarian-Jenkins came in for an official visit and we thought we were going to steal him from Washington.
  19. Is it getting zinc in your system or having it in your throat like with a lozenge in order to kill the virus via direct contact. I thought it was the latter so I'm not sure the centrum is going to help much.
  20. You humblebragging son of a bitch. Well played.
  21. We all talk like big swinging dicks but 20% kicks in at 435k for single filers. I'm sure some of us are there (not me) but certainly not most.
