- I went with the target date fund maybe a year or 18 months ago because I need to step away and let it self-manage for a while. - ty97 Mar 2, 07:03 5
  - To be fair to my fund, although the 1-year return as of year ending 1/31/12 was crap, the 3-month and YTD are much, much better. - ty97 Mar 2, 07:18
  - Fidelity Puritan is the one that I'm in for my 401(k). - spamlet Mar 2, 07:12 3
    - Doesn't look like we have that one. The target date fund I've gone with is so far in the future that it invests in 90% stocks. - ty97 Mar 2, 07:17 2
      - Oh, I know that 90% stocks is right for my age. I just ignore it. -- nm - spamlet Mar 2, 07:20 1
        
        I think I'd be more conservative if I had a family. I feel (maybe wrongly) that I can be a little riskier as a single dude. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 07:31
- honestly it's what most Advisors recommend you do. The fund manager's really do generally know what they are doing. -- nm - decline Mar 2, 07:02 2
  - only problem is they might have higher fees compared to other choices. -- nm - znufrii Mar 2, 07:05 1
    - perhaps a few basis points, but nothing drastic in general. -- nm - decline Mar 2, 07:09

      - [deleted] 2
        
        same here... -- nm - znufrii Mar 2, 07:32
        
        Yeah, I'm glad I don't have those restrictions. - spamlet Mar 2, 07:31
  - Single stocks? Wow. Isn't that a bit risky? -- nm - lileve Mar 2, 07:02 4
    - depends what stocks they are - stewie Mar 2, 07:12 1

        Right around now. Wasn't Cat in the Hat in March? -- nm - spamlet Mar 2, 07:00 2
        
        That was a holiday release. Horton Hears a Who was released about this time though -- nm - Roger More Mar 2, 07:04 1
        
        Maybe that's what I was thinking. I try to block them all. -- nm - spamlet Mar 2, 07:08
    - same up here... -- nm - Beaker Mar 2, 06:57 2

STIS: Is there a way to copy a large amount of e-mails in Outlook 2003 to an external drive? I want to copy them not move them. TIA -- nm - Walt_Disney Mar 2, 06:49 3
- Set up a .pst file on the external share; then just move the emails to the pst. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 2, 07:36
- Use export function -- nm - budice Mar 2, 06:51 1
  - Personal Folders backup works too -- (link) - budice Mar 2, 06:52
You think pink is your favorite color? You're wrong. -- (link) - nubby Mar 2, 06:48
I have a somewhat related renter question. - ty97 Mar 2, 06:46 22
- [deleted]
- How many strollers does she use on a daily basis? -- nm - rollo Mar 2, 07:05 1
  - LOL -- nm - JenBro Mar 2, 07:51
- Thanks folks. Was curious if I was missing something based on how some friends reacted. - ty97 Mar 2, 06:58 2
  - Your friends have probably had their own history with roommates and their annoying partners. -- nm - Roger More Mar 2, 07:05
  - ...friends 'over'reacted. Your IM is the important part. -- nm - decline Mar 2, 06:59
- your friend is far too polite to be a renter. you should suggest to him that he buy his own place, so as not to be tainted by association. -- nm - TFox Mar 2, 06:52 1
  - this -- nm - znufrii Mar 2, 06:54
- suck it up princess. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 2, 06:50
- if utilities have increased, ask that they pay for that. also, ask casually if she's moving from that place when the lease is up - jones Mar 2, 06:50
- don't make it an issue if it isn't. it's nice that he asked. the one question i have is, do you pay for electricity or water? -- nm - Andie Mar 2, 06:49 7
  - I pay electricity. Water is part of the building HOA dues -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 06:53 5
    - like amanda said, is there an increase (there may not be, i mean, the tv uses the same no matter how many people are watching, etc.) if it doesn't - Andie Mar 2, 06:54 4
      - If fact if it's already going on, you could suggest she officially moves in when possible and charge them a little more. It's a win-win -- nm - Guigue Mar 2, 06:56 3
        
        yeah, I think this as well. but short-term only. -- nm - jones Mar 2, 07:06 2
        
        also, because ty travels a lot, it's really no so in-his-face, every day. if that were to change... -- nm - Andie Mar 2, 07:11 1
        
        My travel has actually started to reduce significantly. - ty97 Mar 2, 07:35
  - right, that means that if it becomes an issue at some point, he'll be receptive. which is all you need, really. -- nm - TFox Mar 2, 06:51
- If you are OK with it personally, then there's not really a problem. -- nm - Roger More Mar 2, 06:48
- [deleted]
