    • I’ve actually told a slimy car salesman—as I was walking out—that I’m actually willing to pay more for a car if the salesman is honest. He lost the sale because to me, my satisfaction is higher—even if I pay $500 more—when dealing with someone who is honest and ethical.

    • Rayan, have you had success buying any cars on FB Marketplace? I’ve always been curious.

    • Mr. Abramowitz, thank you for this article. In your final paragraph, you mention VT as an ETF alternative, although I think you probably should have inserted VXUS instead. VT is "Total World", whereas VXUS is the ETF alternative to VTIAX (Total International). Its expense ratio is 0.08%.

    • People who mindlessly click "reply all". This happens in military emails all the time. Someone sends an email to hundreds of people about the unit's hamburger picnic Friday afternoon, and Airman Snuffy replies to all saying he can't make it.

    • Are you sure you'd want to divert from what you're calling the "old" 3-fund portfolio simply due to one decade of under-performance compared to the "new" version? If anything, I would think that might lend toward sticking w/ the "old" portfolio in anticipating reversion to the mean, if nothing else.

    • Thanks Ken, this was such a peaceful read. I want to move to a place like this when I and my family (wife and 5 kids) retire from the Air Force. The question is: can someone in his early 50s move to a place like this where he didn't grow up, and achieve the same small-town connections with people who, unlike him, have lived there for years? Or would I and my family always feel like outsiders? I'm hopeful whatever community we settle on will welcome us as friends and neighbors, with open arms. Yours sounds very nice.

    • The "renting" thing wasn't really a thing when we lived there, or at least in the area where we lived, which was in Budoia, near Sacile.

    • Yep, having lived in Italy, it was refreshing to not tip. The restaurant simply pays their staff the wage owed, and the customer pays the bill. Simple. The U.S. method of paying waiters and waitresses half-minimum-wage and expecting the other half to be shouldered by customers is just frustrating, if nothing else. The restaurant service I received in Italy was never subpar. The lack of the incentive of a tip never seemed to enter the equation. I wonder how that would work in the U.S.

    • Mark, do you ask the restaurant workers if they have universal healthcare, so you can know if you plan to tip or not? I admit I wouldn't know unless I asked them.
