Back to SORR...

Can you imagine being in your early 60s and pulling the plug in 12/19? Things are awesome! So what I’m not filing for SS until 67 and I’m missing years of service off my pension, my nest egg is doing great! Sure, wish I had that mortgage paid off and some more cash reserves but MAGA!

That guy is ******** his pants this morning.

We are at numbers last seen in Oct 19. If this drop ruined your retirement, your asset allocation did not match your risk tolerance. To that I say...

And I bet this guy is selling a lot of stuff right now and will buy in at a higher strike.

Yeah but most of my money is in private equities and when I checked the spreadsheet this morning, they hadn’t gone down at all. ?

I'm not sure wine is going to cut it tonight after this week. Anyone down to smoke some DMT?

Haha, just did a quick search: also known as the "business trip", for it's relatively short duration.

As an alternate, my signature margarita can take the edge off in fairly short order. For those interested, my current formulation:
  • 1.5 oz Don Julio reposado tequila
  • .5 oz Mezcal Vago Espadin
  • a shade under 1 oz Cointreau (.875 oz sounds ridiculous, but would work)
  • 1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
  • a mix of kosher salt & The Spice Lab's Jalapeno Pepper Sea Salt, for salting the rim, if you're into that (and why wouldn't you be?)
  • a wee dash of agave syrup
Mix all ingredients into shaker, add ice, shake vigorously and pour into chilled cocktail glass. Add lime wedge, kick back and try not to think about the fact you may need to add another 5 work years to that retirement plan. Bear in mind, they go down real easy...

Another case reported in Mountain View CA

I get the suspicion that people are probably not being as transparent as they should. I’m talking travelers. Perhaps due to public shaming. After all, who wants to “turn themselves in”. People are taking their chances and selfishly making it difficult for the rest of the community. It’s not a unreasonable thought..
