I ended up contributing to my 2016 Roth Ira a couple weeks ago thinking I wouldn't need it but I found a house that I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy if the inspection goes well and would like to have the extra money. My question is if I withdraw my contributions for 2016 (5500) am I still able to ad...

I' started investing in my 401k and Roth Ira 4 years ago. I'm 27 now when I first started investing a girl gave my number to a Northwestern agent and I sat down and had lunch with him and he showed me at these charts that seemed confusing. All I can say is I'm glad I didn't fall for it after all the...

I would pick a Martin but that's just me. I haven't had a chance to play a D28 but from the reviews I think it would be hard to beat and in your price range

For me, 45 would be insanely early & mustachian....yet somehow doable if things go really well. 50 would be awesome and very possible 55 is my goal, I have no doubts of it happening 60 would be meh 65 would be truly depressing 70...no friggen way. Just me personally, currently at 35yo. This is ...

600-700k is way to much house for your income. I'm looking at houses and wouldn't go above 3x income your just asking for trouble.

fkampere

Yeah PayPal would be a good option for your friend to send you the money for now on

I have 25k plus in there right now but next year when I fund my Roth Ira it will be down 5k or so might be time to look for a new bank.

Does anyone have any tips with snakes and that type of stuff I imagine I will encounter it being in the desert. Whenever I hike I carry a small 9mm - for snake, people, whatever! As far as snakes goes out west, rattlesnakes will obviously warn you when your near and just avoid them. Other than that...

Thanks for the suggestions so far I'll probably leave around mid May and come back end of July not sure how much time I will spend in Oklahoma visiting family. As long as camping won't be terribly expensive after I get some of the equipment I plan to spend a couple days at each location. Does anyone...

Wow so many suggestions the hardest part now is going to be able to decide where I want to go. It's funny because I was originally only going to go to Oklahoma to see my Grandpa and probably Texas. Then everyone told me that since I was that far out I should go see the Grand Canyon and other stuff. ...

Those are three great national parks. For other interesting places I would just keep eyes peeled for out of the way stuff that is different from home. Spend plenty of time at each place you like and you will enjoy it more. Don't rush to see the easy tourist attractions that every park has and then ...

I ended up taking voluntary layoff from work for 2 months so I could travel. I originally wanted to go to Hawaii for a month but it will be kind of expensive and I never been on a plane before so I don't think that would be a good first way to find out if I like flying or not. So I decided I'll take...

I own a Glock 19 and a 12 Guage Remington 870 like to sell the 870 and get a Benelli M4 though. Also like to buy a Daniel Defense AR15 sometime and probably a revolver and a 1911 ha.

Do all companies stop your contribution after the IRS limit? I always put in $100 or so less because I didn't want to accidentally go over the limit then have to deal with that.

I use Ally they been great the 2-3 years I've had them. They offer .99% rate for savings.

The Bad
Not contributing to my 401k for 3 years so I could save money for a house so I missed out on the company match and the returns.

The Good
I'm only 26 and the last 2 years I started maxing my 401k + Roth IRA.

fkampere

I have 5 I only use 3 of them most of the time though

Barclay Sallie Mae - Grocery/Gas
Citi Forward - Restaurants
Amex Blue Cash - Everything else

In December 2012, the Federal Reserve committed to keep the fed funds rate below 0.25% until either unemployment falls below 6.5%, or inflation rises above 2.5%. We are currently at 7.9% unemployment and 1.6% inflation. Thus, rates will not increase for some time to come. Of course, we should all h...

I honestly don't know why people are so concerned with mints security. Especially considering if you just link your credit cards and something does happen you will still be covered.

It's no worse then buying something online with your credit card.

I think it's all relative for the most part. I do think a significant amount of people are in for a rude awakening concerning lifestyle changes (i.e. those with $20k/yr jobs with brand new vehicles, the latest designer clothes, eating out every night, etc.). For those that live beneath their means ...

Is the $40k in your bank account for anything specific like a house downpayment? If not, you can "convert" this taxable money to tax-deferred by doing the following: 1. Change your paycheck deductions so that you contribute $17,500 to your 401k for 2013. This will make your paycheck reall...
