Shouldn't this IFT count as my first one for December?? Lots of rouble logging on then got this message.

After finishing the Honolulu Marathon Sunday, I was wondering about the park when I saw a woman wearing my avator. See

I was looking for pictures of runners I know besides myself and saw her picture. Imagine that happening twice in a lifetime.

Good luck with the new car purchase. This situation may not apply but it is something to check in to.

In 1988 I knew a young AF couple who bought a shiny new car in their home state of Oregon. They drove to their new duty station (Wright-Patt) on their temporary plates, figuring to register the car in Ohio.

The state of Ohio said, fine, welcome, by the way you have to pay Ohio sales tax on the purchase price. They checked with JAG and sure enuf, Ohio would do that if you wanted to title/register the car in the Buckeye State.

Not saying this will apply to you, just saying it happened in OH in the distant past.

Thanks for your input PO. This purchase is about 6 - 7 months away and it may not happen. In the 50+ years I have had a driver's license, I only owned one new car. Must be time for another one.

I read somewhere the market may drop 1% or more next week. Hope it doesn't wipe out all my gains this year!

To all, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

In the 50+ years I have had a driver's license

In case anyone is wondering, that makes him old.

I only owned one new car.

If you bought it when you first got your drivers license that makes it old.:laugh:

Must be time for another one.

Well deserved I'm sure.
MERRY CHRISTMAS HB

Hint: I was drafted but served in the Air Force.

The car was new. Ordered it while on Okinawa and picked it up in Dallas upon arrival back in the good ole USA.

Well deserved I'm sure.
MERRY CHRISTMAS HB

Hope all had (or will have) a wonderful Christmas.

Hey! I've never bought a NEW CAR! My way of doing business suggests that it makes more sense to buy a used car with less than 10K miles on it, works for me. FRUGAL or is it CHEAP?:toung:

I'd call it smart. I see used cars here that are certified, late models, with good prices. My present car, a 1988 Subaru I purchased from private owner two years ago. Still runs good but I want to make some longer trips here and maybe out of state.

My only new car cost $2,200 some years ago.

This year on the tracker I have been in the 300's, 400s, and 500's. Now at #348 with gain of 1.66% in the S fund 100%. I'll stay there til ............

 

[Handballer]

On 1/18th, I was ahead 2.0% Now down 1.48%

Still 100% S fund. Its gotta do better this week.

 

[Handballer]

My last IFT submited cob Feb first as follows:
C fund 5%
S fund 7%
I fund 1%
L2020 17%
L fund 70%

Left for Sin City 2/6th for a short vacation. Figured above fund amounts to be safe from big loss.

2/4th I had gain of 1.67% for year. Returned 2/11 and find my gain for year is now 2.26%. Now I want back to the 300s on the tracker.

I need to change my printer cartridge. See its printing a little light.
