    Anaphylactic shock

    $321 for me lol. I have a BC/BS Bronze plan with a fair sized deductible, becuase the only time I typically see my doc is for an annual checkup and bloodwork. Guess my lower level Bronze plan doesn't cover EPIs. But, peace of mind as you said.

    Anaphylactic shock

    Wow - I would have bet those two pictures were not the same person. Glad you re back to normal. And thanks to this thread, I am planning to add one epi pen to our first aid kit for our remote AK caribou hunt in September. Benadryl is already in the kit, will make sure we have enough for 3 guys.

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    Just curious if he showed you how he ran the numbers on taking SS...I ran my own numbers based on taking at 62, and taking at 67 (full SS age for me). The larger amount (taking at 67) didn't surpass the lower amount (taking at 62) until I was halfway through my 78th year, so I will start taking...

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    That's great planning on your part, saving more is better than less. As for living on way less than I made during my peak earning years, here's how I am doing it (just one guy's story, we all have variations on the theme) - For about 20 years before I retired, I contributed the max each year...

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    I should have added that I wasn't depriving myself of much while I was saving all of this. During the last 15 -18 years of my career I did 12-14 remote Alaska hunts via bushplane, played golf every weekend, and fished whenever i wanted to. One year the company I was working for went under, and...

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    I think those models assume that you're burning most of that peak year income every year that you're earning it. For about the last 10-15 years before I retired at 58, I was maxing out my 401k contributions, and still saving a good chunk of money in addition to that. I've been retired about...

    2023Ammo Shortages, Here We Go Again

    Yea, that Flip Ammo guy offers 338Win at outrageous prices. Can't believe he's selling the old Winchester Super X stuff for so high, that bullet was around in the 70s. I'd buy another gun before I paid those prices.

    Sportsmans may have a fair amount of ammo, but evidently they are still out of 338 WinMag.

    2023Ammo Shortages, Here We Go Again

    Factory 338 WinMag ammo with top tier hunting bullets (Swift A Frame, Nosler Partition) has been really hard to come by for a couple of years now. Ammoseek on occasion has some lesser bullet types for high prices, but not the types that I like to hunt with.
