Been to many, many live rock music concerts in my lifetime. Most all were in ‘standard’ music venues / arenas. Nothing iconic or particularly noteworthy.

What are must-do iconic venues? Examples that come to mind…

Red Rocks
Slane Castle, Ireland
Royal Albert Hall, London

I’m retiring soon. It’s time for music bucket list. I need a list!
Saw them open for Van Halen early 1990s.

A music experience highlight for sure.

Pretty simple math


Thanks! Did the math. RMD reduction is right thing to do.

Retiring at 55yo (20yrs to RMD year 1). Retirement lump sum provides multiple years of living expenses. Seeking to fill bracket at 22-24% (target number TBD). Roth conversions starting 2027.

Seeking steer on do’s and dont’s, watch outs. Also best munis and strategy to park retirement lump sum, munis duration, active vs passive mgmt, etc.

Appreciate it!!
It’s chemistry. No fret. The molecules and your brain are in charge. Tame your part of deal - behavior. But it not personal.
Chicago’s is quite distinct. NYC too.

Love me some Nola but its skyline ain’t all dat. Don’t love me some Houston but tip of hat for its skyline (coming south on I-45).

Now do Asia.

Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore…
Greatest countries in the world don’t allow drug companies to play games with patents (control supply), advertise their products (create demand) and not look after these critical prices on behalf of its citizenry.

Micro Economics taught me this does not go well for citizens.

Your post - case in pernt.
Your bone marrow is producing red blood cells that keep you alive. Your white blood cells are attacking virus invaders as I type. Your gall bladder is helping your body digest life-dependent nutrients.

To name but a mere few.

You don’t even have to think about it.

Meanwhile, there is road rage happening somewhere. people are arguing over politics, and McDonalds just shorted someone a fry order.

Life is magnificent. Ignore dat at your own risk.

Control of his brand is gone. Same for Bama. And all brands, dare I say.
Have son who went thru HS football recruiting process the last couple of years. After having avid LSU recruiting interest for the last 20-years, in reflection, this will go down as worst time ever to have a son go thru HS football recruiting…

Transfer Portal
COVID year players

Dread reading your subject line but is fair question.

Son landed very well. But feel for many fellow Dads and Moms who have HS player prospects. Chit time.
The deliverance haircut…screams fight night at child birthday parties.



Curious about the stats on this new world of college football. In particular, are the risks well understood by the players? How much bad info is given to them by their so called agents.

Read where over 9k players were in transfer portal. Many will say goodbye forever to football in so doing.

Make it stop! T-Shirts now on order.

Will soon be retired.

To park lump sum money to live on for next 3-5 years in tax exempt municipal bonds while concurrently reducing tax deferred RMDs via Roth conversions over next years.

The goal is to keep taxable income “room” for Roth conversions

We are years away from Medicare so not concerned about IRMAA MAGI calculations and brackets

Initial thinking:
VWSUX - money needed in next 2 yrs
VTEB (ETF) - needed 3+ yrs

Nil experience here so welcome MT wisdom in general but specifically:
- Duration - key things to think about
- Managed fund (returns for cost) vs passive

Vanguard and Fidelity funds would be 1st choice.

After tax return is always the objective (vs simply lower taxes).

Appreciate pointers!
