I had a hunch this was going to be an issue. Getting people committed to the first round when there are hopefully 3 more after is a big $$ ask for fans at an inconvenient window right before Xmas. For a team that isn’t favored, they may be more inclined to go to the first round game. If you are one of the top four teams expecting to win the first two rounds, it is easier to shift the assets to the games after the new year. I hope we fill the stadium but I have doubts.
We have three boys in middle school. Their snacks of choice are apples and strawberries. We probably go through 4 apples and a pound of strawberries a day. She does the grocery shopping on Saturday. Anyone want to take a guess as to how many apples and pounds of strawberries she comes home with? Bonus points if you can guess what day of the week I am asked to stop and pick up more fruit. I have taken to going to Costco and buying supplemental fruit on Sunday to get us to at least Wednesday.
It is preferred to stay in your name (I believe) as the 529 in the moms name counts as an asset when it comes to financial aid calculations. A 529 In your name or a grandparents name, they qualify easier for needs based financial aid.
Just checked morningstars report on 529 plans. Nevada has been downgraded from gold when we started to bronze. Utah Pennsylvania and three others are gold.
the expense ratio in Utah is vanguard like (<0.1%) which is less than the 0.8% I see on the Nevada plan. The Nevada plan has some options for investment broadly but their age based portfolio is already transitioned to moderately conservative (45% equities 55% fixed income) so I expect my gains to be minimized while the fees are the same. Is it worth it to move my funds to Utah to get the lower fees if my kids are in middle school?
I Bought some Ariat boots while in Nashville for the game last week.
Ariat Men's Sport Wide Square Toe Cowboy Boot
They’re comfy but I bought a half size too big. I had also tried on Ariat Bench Made which I really liked but they did not have my size in the color I wanted.
tried Tecovas too but I wasn’t sold on them.
anyway, this sent me down the rabbit hole and ended up with Chisos #2 when I got back to town.
time to break them in.
fuck boots are expensive.
I’m always looking for a burnt orange knife in a style I like. Until I fork over the $300 for the latest Sage 5, these will have to do:
Benchmade Bailout
kershaw Iridium
reate box cutter
leatherman juice
The bailout feels the best but the iridium is pretty good. With the iridium at $50 while the Bailout is $200, it is a better value.
Pressly. Though great in years past and appreciated, proved this season he was a weakness. I knew what was coming before it happened. I did not enjoy being correct.
