    Sneakers that disguise as dress shoes

    This is specifically something I need for weddings and other events that feature tons of dancing. No matter the brand or fit, leather shoes make my feet hurt by the end of the night. And I don't have the budget for bespoke shoes. I've heard of these (Noble Sole)...

    ModernTailor.com is dead, what other good low-price online tailors are recommended?

    Modern Tailor's service has gotten so atrocious that I need to find a replacement. My last order just sat there (after they collected my payment of course) for over a month, with no indication it was being tailored or that it was shipped. I reached out, they decided to reply and say "oh thanks...

    Shirt Fit Advice - Shoulder Issue (Modern Tailor)

    All, I've always had this issue with shirts, but a custom tailor I go to has fixed it for the most part. I no longer want to bleed money on expensive custom shirts, so I've tried Modern Tailor which is a more reasonable price point. However, I cannot find an OTR or even MT shirt that works...

    What is a good reason to NOT max out a 401k?

    After giving my own OP some moar thought, another point is that it really depends on your asset allocation. If you want to invest heavily in bonds, the 401K is definitely the place to do it as you will not be paying income tax on your interest. Similarly, tax-free munis should be allocated to...

    What is a good reason to NOT max out a 401k?

     Debatable. Many 401k plans have 10bp fee funds, which is as low as it gets. Also, if your employer provides a 401K, how much you can contribute to an IRA is further limited I believe. But yes IRAs have a better selection of investments, if you are inclined to pick securities. Why would...

    What is a good reason to NOT max out a 401k?

     You can borrow against your 401k (essentially an interest-free loan) for the down payment on a primary residence, so I don't think this applies. However, I can see how an upcoming non-residential major purchase could make maxing out a 401k unattractive.

    What is a good reason to NOT max out a 401k?

    It is commonly given financial advice that one should always max out a 401k before moving on to other investment vehicles. Even assuming 0% company matching, the reasons given for maxing out are that you are putting in money pre-tax, letting it grow tax-free, and only getting taxed once you...
