GWM:
I called my dad last night and asked a bunch of nosy questions and discovered the following:

-He's making roughly the same as a federal GS-15 (135k+)
-He's been taking his bonuses from work and saving them in his retirement fund
-They bought their small, reasonable 1-level house 4 miles from his work 5 years ago and have a 30-yr fixed mortgage that they refi'd to get a lower interest rate. Then they took the "savings" and have been paying that in as extra every month on the mortgage. Expected to be paid off in 6-7 years from today, with the option to drop the amount of payment in an emergency.
-He has a pension from an employer 20 years ago. The company is still in business. He said "the amount depends on how old I am when I retire"
-They have 400k+ in retirement accounts, he's trying to get these up to 750k - 1m, though he doesn't think it'll happen

I was delighted to hear that my parents will almost certainly not require financial assistance upon retirement. He has good health insurance and now that I think of it, his current company has a pension plan as well. So yeah, they should be pretty set. They have two newer cars (though I think one is paid off) and they're the type to run them till they die.

I feel very fortunate to have such responsible parents (who've also had reasonable luck in jobs and medical stuff as well).

No one cares

I do this. Prefer the extra power and responsiveness of 93, but since it's optional, I won't buy it if it's more than $4/ga.

Are you joking? :psyduck:

My sister is a BWM all star. I posted about it a dozen or so pages ago, but I think she's just going to go through life this way. She's a single mom of teens, but she's adding to her struggles with terrible decisions.

- 444 credit score. Only posting because I had no idea you could actually get so low.
- Defaulted student loans for an abandoned University of Phoenix degree.
- Car repossessed, bought a death trap with a rusted out gas tank that subsequently died.
- Now financing a used SUV and doing Uber/Lyft or whatever
- Does equine whatever
- Very self-righteous about everything

I have two facebook accounts, one only for family, because her updates are too frustrating to read.

I wish she could figure it all out.

too vague, more deets next time thanx

The grade school system is so inherently flawed that i cant blame people who want to take their children's education in their own hands

A high school diploma is definitely not worth 12 years of someone's life
