re: How many more decades until marriage is a relic of the past ?

Posted by Maderan on 10/26/24 at 5:03 pm

Divorce rate is a skewed statistic. If you both graduated college it falls to like 25% and those are mostly the people who would have screwed up the relationship even if they were not married. If that 20% wants to stop getting married, good on the for realizing they are the problem. The other 5% ...

$500? You can sell them for way more than that. The ticket fees are highway robbery and then being so high at every reseller seem like collusion to me. I get the supply and demand pricing. The fees make me want to go postal. ...

He should start a go fund me for being a DEI casualty for doing his job well. I'd certainly donate. I'd also donate to someone willing to legally make her life a living hell for a bit. This kind of stuff fills me with rage....

re: Is there a resource for finding a fee-based financial advisor based on my location?

Posted by Maderan on 9/16/24 at 4:49 pm

Unfortunately, they are going to be hard to find almost anywhere. That is a much tougher business model for an FA. You might check with folks earlier in their carrier who are looking for those type of engagements. Otherwise, you might need to be open to something via video conference with advisor...

Posted by Maderan on 9/16/24 at 3:25 pm

Do a little research and ask for referrals from those you know. You want someone who aligns with you from a size and expertise standpoint. Give a few a call and ask them about what their typical client looks like, what services they provide, and how they charge fees before you provide a ton of detai...

Genuinely one of the nicest guys. Got swept up by fame and the easy access to women pretty much throwing themselves at him. Metoo# allowed them to change their tune and promote victim culture. He learned his lessons and paid his dues both personally and professionally. Hope the new place is a bi...

Same issues and reasons as you for undershirt use. Many years ago I ordered a dozen or so different ones to find the best one for this purpose. I use Next Level 6210. 60/40 blend. Great collar.

re: painting brick - yay or nay

Two things. 1) Use mineral paint like romabio masonry flat. Brick can still breathe and it is naturally anti mildew. You actually wet the brick with a hose before applying. There are mineral painted lighthouses that still look good 100 years later with no repaint. 2) like someone else said, pa...
