I think IRAs and Brokerage accounts are the only options, which is unfortunate. You could also do what we do and invest in the IRA and then do a backdoor Roth conversion to get around restrictions/having to do any calculations. Looks like this is the way I’ll go since our income may push us over th...

OG #71. RIP

Was this how it was in the 80s after Bradshaw retired too? Look at the names that started in the 20+ yrs between Bradshaw and Ben; my memory features more Cliff Stoudt than it should. Some franchises never get that second guy. Yep, being born in the middle of the Steelers’ dynasty means I have zero...

Virginia? How tf did Clemson get in?

I think the Steelers should be forced to trade with the Bears at least once a season. For the good of the game

Interesting how blue the summer months are when nobody in my family has a summer birthday

Love it when there are good vibes in here. I’ll get my bonus (first in 16 years) next month. Also got a 2% raise for 3 months of work. I’ll take it

You rarely are able to rid yourself of imposter syndrome 100%. You just learn to control it. I've been at this job almost 2.5 years and I still feel like I don't deserve it during the less than busy times. Always feels like there's something I'm not doing that I should be. This 100%. I was at my la...

The quote was said regarding the Pirates farm system. Big deal, they’ve had great farm systems before that produced jack squat for the major leagues

Refund was reduced by $41.88 to pay a prior tax obligation.

These f wads paid someone $40-50 an hour to get $42 from me.

Hopefully this resolves my 2021 'issues'. I see two IRS letters in my Informed Delivery today.

Correction, your tax dollars paid someone to tell you to pay more taxes

Shaping up to be a solid offseason so far. I want them to nab Boyd because he's actually a Pittsburgh guy that's produced.

Still need a center though.

We said the same thing last offseason. At some point, Kahn has to realize this team’s limitation may not be the players, but the coach

The past 3 posts should all be taken with a grain of salt. I’ve followed baseball enough to know that spring training results hardly ever translate to the regular season.

Kevin Newman endorses this post

Good riddance Deon Tay

Decided to redo our basement lights. It’s unfinished and only consists of two pull cord bulbs. Bought several flush mount lights and reworked everything so there’s a switch. Finally got to where I could turn the breakers back on to see if I could cause an electrical fire. Almost. The lights were fl...

Had to run some errands this morning so decided to see what the radio waves are saying about the Guentzel trade. 100% talk about the potential of Russell Wilson going to the Steelers. I hate this town sometimes.

It’s a robbiestoupe documentary about the evils of country music

The gif of the man pointing a gun at his head while listening to music: he’s being forced to listen to country, right?

I’m currently sitting in a doctor’s office where they are blasting this awful rubbish. Just give me the gun, doc

So a Ricardo Greer performance? Ok, I’ll take it

I used to love DK’s stuff on the Pirate’s beat. He would get into his love of Pittsburgh then, but it was genuine at the time. Like little secrets about the city that very few people knew about.

But the ego came and that was that

Haha sounds like me when a Coldplay song comes on the radio. I just mock them until my wife turns it off

I’m dreaming of a Kemba Walker type performance from Hinson, but this is Pitt we’re talkin’ bout

I haven’t gone back to the garden yet, but assume asparagus is sprouting just based on the lunch menu at work

I mean, he works for a Mickey Mouse organization.
