- one of the comments is they hope the PGA sets up a charity tournament for Tiger's kids, cause, yeah, those kids need money. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 7, 14:35 3
  - Imagine the tone of that tourney. "Cause your daddy's a cheatin' sumbitch." -- nm - Reagen Dec 7, 14:38 2

this is annoying. - znufrii Dec 7, 14:16 45

  - The place I just 'left' eliminated any match a few years back, but they did rewrite the plan to remove contribution limits. For the last couple of - MojaveMeg Dec 7, 14:38
- Be sure to reduce your contributions to 4% from 6% -- nm - oblique Dec 7, 14:20 29
  - why, at 6% he is still socking away 10%, which is advisable. - groiny Dec 7, 14:25 27
    - The money that you put into a 401(k) is never the money you get out. I'm kind of starting to hate the whole concept. -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 14:32 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        Groiny stated a good rule of thumb for saving your money, something that's not the same as 401(k)s. - con_carne Dec 7, 14:38 1
        
        so tell, me, what *actually* happens to my money in a 401(k). - znufrii Dec 7, 14:39
    - The advice I always hear is to contribute up to the match. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 14:30 7
      - sure, but I also hear that 10% is the magic number for retirement savings.... - groiny Dec 7, 14:35 6
        
        that's the ideal, sure. but from a personal liquidity standpoint, it's more efficient for me to use the funds elsewhere in the short-term. - znufrii Dec 7, 14:36 2
        
        I agree you need to address the CC debt. what's the rate on your student loans? -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 14:38
        
        to each his own.. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 7, 14:37
        
        well, if he has credit card debt it makes sense to attack that. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 14:36 2
        
        if he has credit card debt, I would not be stashing any $ until it is gone. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 7, 14:36 1
        
        but for the company match, I wouldn't be. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 14:37
    - to answer your IM: better to pay off my outstanding debt, credit cards, student loans, etc. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 14:26 3
      - agreed. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 14:31
      - and then short-term savings. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 14:27 1
        
        and, of course, booze. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 14:27
    - I'd much rather put that 2% somewhere that I control the rules about how I access it rather than the government -- nm - oblique Dec 7, 14:26 10
      - are 401(k)s not tax-deductable? -- nm - Reagen Dec 7, 14:29 4
        
        there are complicated rules about withdrawing money from it. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 14:31
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        and the corrallary to this is that I don't care to make bets on what my taxes are going to look like 30 years from now when I don't have to - oblique Dec 7, 14:31 1
        
        iirc, my employer will match on both a Traditional or Roth 401(k) - znufrii Dec 7, 14:35
      - you are already putting 8% away, might as well make it the full 10% - groiny Dec 7, 14:29 3
        
        It's the same for 529 or any other government sponsored program. The rules can change on you and I don't care to have my money locked into someone's - oblique Dec 7, 14:30 2
        
        the only reason to prefer a 401(k) is to the extent your employer matches your contributions. - znufrii Dec 7, 14:32 1
        
        exactly -- nm - oblique Dec 7, 14:32
      - actually, it just about makes up for the increase in health insurance premiums I'm looking at for next year. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 14:28
  - yup. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 14:20
- [deleted] 4
  - as long as they don't trying and screw us over on the raises this year, like they did last year. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 14:23 3
    - that is what we are thinking here - this year is much different then last year - it will be mass exodus if they pull any crap -- nm - Epiphany Dec 7, 14:23 1
      - they made it up with an incremental raise in the middle of the year, but they're taking more than that away for next year with this 401(k) move. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 14:24
    - [deleted]
- Yeah, so annoying. -- nm - The Unemployed Dec 7, 14:19
- well we get no match at all, so you are in better shape than I. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 7, 14:18 1
  - same here -- nm - Max Dec 7, 14:32
- but you HAVE a 4% dollar for dollar 401k. Suck it up, Princess! -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 7, 14:18 4
  - on the upside, it means an extra $80/month in take home pay once I reduce my contributions accordingly. - znufrii Dec 7, 14:20 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - *laughs at your face* - znufrii Dec 7, 14:25
      - explains to Dawson that "take-home pay" does not mean "loanable funds". -- nm - znufrii si Dec 7, 14:24

  - *scoff* Like anything could replace that. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 7, 13:58
  - Nah. It's a single person version of Diablo 2 that is very very lightweight and fast (and cheap) which makes it alot of fun -- nm - oblique Dec 7, 13:57

Pull yourself together! You are Elastigirl! -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 13:51
sitwap: Tiger was admitted into intensive care on Sat and was tubed... - Remlik Dec 7, 13:51 11
- I had wondered about the snoring. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 13:52 10
  - I got a very strong feel of either drug or alcohol involvement from the whole episode. - MojaveMeg Dec 7, 13:56 3
    - Yeah, I remember an incident in college where a girl had alcohol poisoning. She was passed out and we were debating what to do. - loosilu Dec 7, 13:58 2
      - THe correct answer was to slow down a few MPH as you tossed her out the door at the hospital. -- nm - Reagen Dec 7, 14:07 1
        
        well, I was pro EMT in the first place because those incidents scare the piss out of me. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 14:08
  - are you #10? -- nm - Remlik Dec 7, 13:56 5

        I think she held back at the last minute before really clocking him...due to the fact she could renegotiate her contract. -- nm - Remlik Dec 7, 14:05 1

  - Sorry, thought you meant Nintendo published -- nm - oblique Dec 7, 13:55
  - I think that wiki page is pretty out of date. Halo 3 is over 10 million by now. -- nm - Inigo Dec 7, 13:53 6
    - Yeah, it doesn't have COD:MW2 yet either, but I couldn't find a more up to date one. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 7, 13:56 4
      - This list isn't perfect, but he updates the site based on released shipping info. -- (link) - Inigo Dec 7, 13:58 3
        
        Were some of those bundled? Like the Pokemon ones? - JaxSean Dec 7, 14:00 2
        
        A lot were to varying degrees, I think. When a game gets that big, companies try to milk them for us as much as possible. - Inigo Dec 7, 14:05
        
        I don't think they've been bundled. You have no idea how popular those games are/have been -- nm - oblique Dec 7, 14:03
