I have a similar arrangement and use Logitech MX devices for the KB and Mouse and a Monitor that will accept multiple inputs. The KB and Mouse have switches on them that will let you switch between multiple (up to 3) computers. They both support USB dongle style wireless adapters and computers with ...

The IRS withholding estimator may be helpful:

It's super duper easy to say you would never help a relative or friend out financially. I felt the same way too, until my Mother and Stepfather needed help to keep the lights on and food on the table. My stepbrothers and I supported them until both of them passed. When you see it happening, feelings...

I don't live off-grid, but I have a very good friend who did for a long time. As he got older and started having a few health problems he finally gave in and got the utility company to come hook him up.... The time and money it took to maintain just wasn't worth it to him anymore. It depends on your...

Something weird is going on with the subreddit. It won't load, but I can get to other subs just fine... Are we finally seeing an imposed end to this madness?

Get those Sell orders in ASAP folks, in case the SEC halts trading.

If so, and if your organization truly embraces it, then training is probably worth while. It has a lot of adherents. In order for an organization to truly embrace it, and to benefit from it, is if the whole chain of command (including execs) truly understands it and adjusts their own expectations a...

It's been several years since I read it, but the The Millionaire Next Door I think espouses many of the same themes that Dave R. tries to instill in people. I also agree that Dave's advice regarding which debt to pay off first doesn't make sense from a strictly mathematical/financial standpoint, but...

My Brother In Law came to me in a panic last spring. I managed to keep him from pulling all his money out of the market (all tax-sheltered)- and convinced him to keep investing in the 401k plan at his job. That took a lot of explaining and it made me pretty uncomfortable, but he thanked me later.

Meh, I don't care about roasts on the internet. I said the rant was over, but there is a little left. New mom doesn't work when she comes back. She spends a month ogling her newborn longingly on her phone on the daycare's video system, gathering all the other moms in her office to discuss strained ...

In tech, it starts at the top of the food chain. Show me a business with a weak CIO and I'll show you a business with poor IT infrastructure, loads of technical debt, and "burned out" ICs. Technical debt is the "dark matter" of the business world. We know it exists, it's hard for...

Alabama is a Drinking State with a Football Problem

A someone who spent a great deal of time in Alabama, but is a fan of "the other team," even I have to admit Auburn is a great town. People are friendly to the max there (even above and beyond typical Alabama hospitality.) Unless maybe you are walking around in Crimson in November. I would ...

(As an aside, it's interesting to me that Apple has now gone back to the previous keyboard design and is rumored to be bringing back MagSafe for charging and dropping the touch bar. In other words, pretty much every "innovation" of the past decade outside the silicon is being jettisoned.)...

Agree with this. There are times in your life when circumstances prevent you behaving in accordance with your stated priorities in life. Many times my job in IT required me to sacrifice good health habits in order to complete an important project. The key for me was to recognize this and try to mak...

I'm normally a Ford guy, but right now I own a 2006 Tacoma (4wd Crew Cab SR5) Reliability is A+ Resale Value is stupid good. Blue book says my truck is worth about $4-5k less than I paid for it in 2012. I paid cash for it so Ignoring maintenance costs I've essentially driven it for almost 9 years fo...

I'm doing much the same thing OP, except I'm not as aggressive as far as my taxable allocation and am 100% in funds. Maxing out tax-advantaged, but also auto-investing into taxable to the tune of $3000/month. The plan is to retire as soon as I feel our Tax-Advantaged balances are high enough, and Ta...

I don't see where $10 off Deluxe ($30 instead of $40), with ANOTHER $40 (down from $50) for one state from Fido is better than $40 for Deluxe + State from Amazon. We have just over $500K (household) with Fido. I was about to post this... You actually come out ahead if you just order it from Amazon....

First of all Congratulations OP. I think you and I have similar backgrounds and I understand where you are coming from. Bouncing off the 2 comma club here also, and in my early 40s. I also came from a pretty lower-middle-class background. Raised by a single mom, had to work in HS to keep the lights ...

Plowed fun money into ITOT on the way down in the spring. Nice 25-30% gains there. At least it’s an index. However... Im sort of fascinated with the flight to the NYC suburbs during COVID so I put some more money into UBA around the same time and sold recently for a 50% gain. I’m going to quit now l...

How about this...Yea, I got it and paid bills with it. That's what DW said when my in-laws asked... Her brother is especially nosy about our financial status. She just doesn't have the heart to clue him in to the fact that she makes more money than him.... He's just assumed for years and years that...

Sorry for your loss LadyGeek, please accept my condolences and best wishes.

One minor point I thought of that might explain this: Boston is definitely a HCOL area, no doubt about that. But IMHO another thing that must be considered before plugging a salary offer into a tool and comparing differences between zip codes is that the Boston area is awash in universities with STE...

Greetings Bogleheads, long-time listener first-time caller. Anyhow WRT the topic: OP: Sounds like the COO currently has very little authority and had to run your hiring up the ladder to someone. Possibly the higher-up(s) is/are wise to the issues at hand. If the COO doesn't even have the juice to hi...
