I’m with ccc, shoot it out and go from there. Just for the brass I’d lean 22 creed later but you’ll know by the time you rebarrel if it’s here to stay or not.
What’s the plan for glass?
I’m generally pretty optimistic but those three in particular I’m not spending money on. Like you said, a guided moose in Canada is mildly affordable and goat isn’t crazy. Sheep, short of a raffle are off the table for most folks. I’d rather save the money and bite the bullet on a hunt I know...
I’m also waiting on a barrel with p_ham. I elected to go with the good old 270 win, it turned 100 this year and outside of the big bears there’s nothing I would hesitate to use it on here with a good bullet. Blue printed 700, 22 inch magnum sporter, threaded just in case and it will sit in an...
I’m also not 100% on it but I think it’s a one time withdrawal, not that you will have access to the 401k the same as if you were 59 1/2. If you were leaving at 55 and you needed to fund a “bridge” account to tide you over to full retirement age it could work. You can get it penalty free but...
Is it possible it would work like a rollover 401k? You’d want to do a direct rollover transfer to an ira/401k and never have the money in your hands? They get funny about it if you get the money first
I think splitting the difference is probably the best call but I don’t really care either way, just leave it alone. The days get longer in summer, shorter in winter without our help…
You are correct. That’s why I mentioned early on that something would have to be done to remove access to that money until retirement. I hate the idea of control but I don’t know how else you protect people from themselves. Maybe at least lockdown the employer contribution??
I think it almost has to be discussed in that manner. It’s currently managed like insurance and treated like retirement by the users, eventually that’s not going to play out
For the record, I’m on board. Telling people that they, and not their neighbors, should be responsible for their own future will go over like 💩 in the punch bowl. They’d much rather say someone successful should tote the bill…
I’m not sure the one pot method, pyramid scheme is working…
I think if we’re going to treat ss as retirement then it needs to be set up that way. I’d feel much more comfortable with the exact same percentages paid into a tsp plan (with investment options) that I couldn’t access under any...
