Thanks for the info. Why not electronic direct funds transfer? Is that a limitation of Vanguard?

I don't see any updates on this yet. The website hasn't changed and lacks any options to initiate a rollover online.

Thanks! I was hoping for this and will help to further consolidate.

I got the base Air model and I like it so far. Microsoft Apps like Word work pretty well as MS has native apps for the M1. The fanless experience is awesome! It’s plenty fast even with 8GB of RAM for everyday tasks though I have not really run any memory intensive tasks on it so far. Only issue for ...

Done. Thanks for the reminder!

Great post! Thank you for sharing your story and good luck with the business.

Training can be career specific cost but I thought Bogleheads would spend on the non career "self" improvement categories. For example, Audible memberships, Personal training, Self help seminars etc.. I was thinking in more of general terms

nepats

I was contemplating about spending more than I had ever spent on training recently, and I was curious about the average cost Bogleheads spend on improving their skills/self etc. There are lots of successful people on here, so I am guessing it's going to be way more than average. My historical cost h...

We haven’t won the game yet. We started our 401k contributions early in our careers and saved between 20 to 70k annually as the limits and matches improved. In addition, I think we have saved equally in our taxable accounts over the years.

I had Audioengine desktop speakers and they were pretty good. I hear the new A5+ powered wireless speakers are good. Amazon HD is great!

Comparing apples to oranges.

I would lease it if you don’t want to bother selling it after the lease period. The Tech is moving fast, and Tesla service is going down hill unfortunately. Also, Tesla’s do not hold their value any better than other cars based on my experience as a long time Model S owner. Just know that their leas...

Somewhat pointless milestone but fun to see: 401k balance went over $1M for the first time.

Just learnt from contact at WF, that "only" Jumbo rates qualify for relationship discount and not conforming or high balance conforming loans.

I keep seeing these great rates in this thread, so it is making me wonder if I should refi again. I am currently in year 2 of 10/1 ARM @ 3.0. Is it worth pursuing say 30 year @ 2.75 now or roll the dice that the rates will go lower soon?

We replaced both units with Rheem and they were fine. I think one of the other big companies owns Rheem. One of them needed some repairs around 5-6th year mark. I don’t remember exactly what it was. The prices were similar to yours about 6 years ago.
