Seems like you are allowing the tail to wag the dog. You seem to be making life decisions based on all the tax rules and age requirements of various instruments vs enjoying a new deck or first class seats on a long flight now. You can't take it with you.
Seems that way. Your tone is always that of a know it all and when someone calls you out you either deny or take a holier than thou tone. It would be nice if you could comment on financial topics without the attitude. Thanks
I think RDQ is impervious to down votes or comments. I think he just wants attention and he gets it by ranting on topics he knows will garner strong responses.
Fully agree. The value of this website derives from members sharing their ideas and more importantly their actions around personal finance/retirement etc...without any agenda to sell anything to anyone. If the sight becomes a place where individuals air their political grievances and bias, those of us who simply want a place to learn and talk about retirement challenges will go elsewhere. Thanks for keeping true to your mission.
Agree, I value HD for its focus on personal finance as it relates to retirement as well as some of the non-financial topics that are posted. It seems like there is no where to hide from the politics. I think we can talk about policies that affect retirement without pushing political agendas. I know that for me, I will be less interested in following HD if it turns into just another place for political arguments.

Do you ever concede a point to anybody Dick? You like to poke the bear and get reactions from people.
