ParticipantOk, i dont actually like rap, but ive tried many rap artists. I was told id like A TRIBE CALLED QUEST recently but, alas, did not.
I’ve asked rap fans for other artists and spotified dozens of the songs, but the only one that’s really spoken to me is YOU A STUPID HO by nikki minaj. That is definitely a work of art, and i truly mean that. I also reallllllly like the video.
I dont see how anyone could dislike STUPID HO.
But even a rap dilletante like myself can spot the diffrrence between interesting rhythms and the boring repetitive hamilton stuff that sounds like a studrnt project type rhyming.
As opposed to minajsreal art:

I am the female WeezyParticipantNo. Not true. Hamilton is sucky rap. Not real artful rap.
I did not listen obsessively to jazz in hs like i do now…
Participantyep.
my wife already told me she’s going to spend money like crazy if i die, so i might as well spend it now, she says.
could be she’s just saying that to screw with my head. i can hardly believe she’ll be blowing money. but maybe she will. buying up real estate. getting a donkey. travelling.
id prefer my wife and kids spend the money than me, esp. if i were dead, since dead men spend no cash. it wouldnt be my problem at that point. seems so relaxing, not to have to think about such things. death means never having to worry about late fees. your investment horizon is zero or eternity, same difference
Participant[quote=Coronita][quote=scaredyclassic]yeah, we should have a housekeeper. this is too much.
however, as to a., b., c., and d. that you describe above, I dispute that there is any way to know what those numbers are.[/quote]
Look at it this way. There’s a lot of people out of work these days. When you hire a housekeeper, a gardener, or buy some takeout food, you’re either creating a job for someone or helping someone keep theirs.[/quote]
that kind fo thinking doesn’t help me part with money. I also rarely feel I get the value in kind for what ive paid. in fact, very very few things seem worth the money.
oats are worth it.
my washing machine.
my house.
fresh fruit.
that’s about it.
Participantyeah, we should have a housekeeper. this is too much.
however, as to a., b., c., and d. that you describe above, I dispute that there is any way to know what those numbers are.
ParticipantAny human would be happy to have that coin in his pocket and would recognize it as very valuable for the last 5000 years
ParticipantI used to work for the IRS. nothings simple.
Participant[quote=svelte][quote=scaredyclassic]
My wife keeps accusing me of bitching like a rich old guy about first world problems. [/quote]lol my wife tells me I’m getting grumpy, but it’s typically not about money.
[quote=scaredyclassic]
And i dont feel rich. [/quote]This is what I get from my wife: I’ll outline all the what-if scenarios on how we could end up having our saving whacked and not have much in our retirement years.
She’ll just sit there, then turn and look at me and say “I don’t think you remember what it was like to be poor.”
That’s cutting right to the chase. There were weeks when we had to decide what bill was paid. We’re unlikely to ever be in that position again.[/quote]
Well, yeah, i should appreciate my tiny success. But i dont. It was way more fun to be young, stupid and broke and see so much potential than to be old and narrow with a cash buffer, but to have eaten the bitter truth.
. I used to blow $$$ on a housekeeper 20 years ago and we were broke. I was an idiot. I even had my shirts pressed at 2 bucks a pop. No way in hell nowadays.
401k? Haha! Why?Its difficult for me connect my current self with the blithering young idiot who HAD A BALANCE ON hiS CREDIT CARD.
I just got done mopping a huge area and sweating profusely. Good thing im in shape. I could easily have a heart attack at my age mopping the deck.
Id rather save the 200 bucks on a houekeeper, even with slight risk of myocardial infarction, and i can iron my shirts while watching netflix, now that im stable whereas back then, i didn’t have it and spent it anyway.
Money changes: its not the same as it was. I assumed it was to be spent when we married. All of it! Hell, we are 150k in the hole with student loans, who fucking cares! Lets make babies!
Later things changed. She wanted a house. I realized we would have to actually not spend all our money. It was like being in AA.
Today i am the most sober conservative old dude i could have turned into. Its staggeringly awful.
Nowadays all the money is different. I tend it and worry about it. Care for it. Hope for it. Each pile is unique, small or large, each has a tale.
If i manage to cash out some gains in a trading acct, for instance, and renovate my kitchen, ill feel like i got a “free” kitchen, whereas if i paid from my the checking acct, it would hurt me to spend it.
As the eskimos have many words for snow, we need different words for different types of monies. It is NOT fungible.
Some is sweaty money. Some is happy money. Found money. Aged money. Guilty money. Mystery money. 401k may be dumb money. Just sitting there, vulnerable to govt attack. Or maybe itll be nervous money. With alzheimers, found money.
In reality i think my later life will be somewhat better with $ but physical health and vitality will be a much greater factor in happiness and life satisfaction for 60 onwards
Participant[quote=Hatfield]Heard the soundtrack when it came out. Gave it 10 minutes and I was done. Zero desire to watch it. I hate rap and hip hop. Not my thing.[/quote]
I think its a little visually interesting.
The soundtrack alone would be much worse.
Participant[quote=gzz]Just purchased a French 20 Francs gold coin from the 1830s, July Monarchy. I am now only 1 coin away from having a complete set.
Here’s the first of them:
“An 12” means 1803, year 12 of the Revolutionary Calendar, one aspect of the metric system that was abandoned.
The $350 price listed there is old price, an An 12 is worth more like $430+ depending on condition.[/quote]
not a great return if youd held it 200 years.
But it was worth 100 bucks or so 200 years ago, in a different world, and worth about that now.
Which is pretty trippy if ya think on it
ParticipantI would say it sucked, which is just surprising to me, due to overwhelming love for it. Usually i feel like the crowd isnt 100 perc wrong, that if its universally hailed, its got to be at least ok.
I really expected to love it, and in fact went in with a completely positive excited viewpoint.
I wouldnt mind rap, but this rap s u c k s.
Repetitive sounding rap, done for suburban white people?
The storytelling….sucks.
Its just not moving. It seems like nonsense. Bad songs…not really funny. However
The king george bits are hilarious and awesome, though, i agree. Perfect little cameo. Just the right touch of effiminacy to be creepily terrifying. I expected more of that level of interestingness.
I was 100% bored.
Participant[quote=sdrealtor][quote=Coronita]My parents got hit hard with RMD.
Their forced RMD income now is way above what they use to make during the working years.I’ve split my annual contributions to 50% traditional 401k and 50% Roth 401k.
Then again, they could always change the rules fo Roth 401k’s too.
I don’t try to trade my 401k. Drip drip drip and forget it, maybe a semi-annual rebalance.
I’m trying to build a much larger sizable position in my after tax account, paying taxes up front. So far, it’s been ok…. I think when Biden takes over, we’re going to see a lot of tax law changes, and for practical purposes, most people here will be paying taxes up the noses in the future.
Biden’s plan is already calling for the elimination of 1031 exchanges and step-up cost basis
That is what we call a high-class problem and the spoils of the victors[/quote]
My wife keeps accusing me of bitching like a rich old guy about first world problems.
My feeling is, well, these are my problems, because im an older guy with a little money in a 1st world country, and furthermore we wouldnt be doing this well if i hadnt sweated the small stuff [that is, been such a frugal saver] over a long period of time.
And i dont feel rich.
And whats the fucking point of winning if they take big chunks of it all anyway.
But shes got a point. Sometimes i listen to myself and i want me to shut up.
If i were in the 4th world, id be mocking people bitching about their silly 3rd world problems
ParticipantIm not sure i see any advantage to a 401k for me other than lawsuit protection. Seems actually bad.
If i were betting, id say some sort of extra 401k tax, esp on higher inc. People, is a likely future event.
Participantinterested in dollar cost averaging into slightly beaten down VNQ real estate etf with an eye toward the future.
Ultimately, I think the best bet long term is everything; VT. It’s the only thing , other than gold and silver and maybe (no not really) platinum (SPPP) I feel really comfortable buying and holding longterm. That doesnt mean I think Im going to make money. Just that i don’t feel utterly defrauded.
I despise looking at all the fees on old retirement accounts from other employments we’ve had. .85% a year. the dumbest thing is to leave money in these overexpensive accounts. guaranteed loss long term. need to consolidate
