re: CWS tickets

So it’s looking like the cheapest is around $150 for championship series tickets. It looks like the cheapest ticket for all other games is around $40.

CWS tickets

Posted by Hornetjames3 on 4/30/23 at 12:14 pm

Is it best to buy tickets now or wait till later? I know the tickets went on sale earlier this week. It seems like on Ticketmaster the championship series prices are much more than the other games. Is it best to buy a championship series ticket now and just sell it on StubHub if they don’t make it?

Baseball game Thursday night standing room only

Can I wait until before the game to buy standing room tickets at the ticket office? Are the standing room tickets unlimited? Or do they have a certain number that’s allocated before selling out?

Improvements to Alex Box

Did they end up making any improvements to the box this year? I remember last year they talked about JJ wanting to move the bullpen and some other minor adjustments.

Credit Union Car Warranty vs Dealer Warranty

Posted by Hornetjames3 on 12/7/22 at 8:46 pm

Anyone buy a car and get a car warranty from a credit union? It seems to be significantly cheaper and cover the same repairs. I am just wary of using a credit union because I have not used one for a car warranty before.

my buddy Adam
Bergman is the tax attorney owner. Has office in Miami. Great service.

Thanks for the tips. I saw their website. They look like a great group. My question is could I start it on my own with Vanguard for example and not have to pay the initial and yearly fees to make the process cheaper. Or is the solo 401k logistics/administrative so complex that I should pay Adam's group the fees and go thru him?

We have a SEP. THe limit on earning for 2020 was $285,000. It’s $290,000 for 2021. Do you have employees? If so, all must be treated equally. So if you fund yourself 10% you must fund the employee 10% as well. You can have restrictions such as for employees to have to wait 1,2 or 3 years and that they must be at least 21 years old. We like ours. Have had it for 30 years. The $58,000 funding is unlikely unless you have so much income you can afford 25%. We do 8-10%. We have many who max out. The max out at 8% in 2020 was $22,800.

Thanks for the info. I am a single member LLC. Do you do a backdoor Roth for your SEP IRA?

Broker? Fack that. Get complete checkbook control by getting a company to set you up with the qualified retirement plan then you open a checking account at local bank. Bring papers and EIN paper and setup. You are the trustee and plan administrator. You invest in whatever you want barring the few restrictions. Light years better than being limited to one broker and their investments only.

I am in the process of setting up a checking and saving account at a local credit union (Xplore). What company would you suggest for setting up a qualified retirement plan?

re: Solo 401k vs SEP IRA for new LLC - S election

Posted by Hornetjames3 on 4/12/21 at 7:08 pm to LSUFanHouston

I may be wrong. But for the SEP IRA, $58,000 or 25% of the salary can be placed in the SEP IRA transferred to a backdoor Roth IRA.

For a Solo 401k, $58,000 or 25% of the salary from the "employer" and $19,500 total from the "employee" so an overall greater amount but only the employee $19,000 can be converted to a Roth 401k.

SEP IRA: $58,000 max into Roth IRA
Solo 401k: $19,000 max into Roth 401k but $58,000 into the rest of the 401k

Wouldn't 58,000 pretax be better?

Solo 401k vs SEP IRA for new LLC - S election

Posted by Hornetjames3 on 4/12/21 at 4:21 pm

I know most on here suggest solo 401k for a one member LLC because of the higher contibutations with both employee and employer, loan possibility, elective deferrals, and catch up after age 50.

It is unclear to me whether I could set up a back door Roth IRA from the SEP IRA. If I could I would be inclined to pick the SEP IRA over the solo 401k. I know solo 401k lets you make contributions to a Roth 401k but I would prefer to have a Roth IRA over a Roth 401k.

For those who have the solo 401k, which broker and funds do you suggest? Do you have the same limitations as employee 401ks thru businesses as far as limited options.

Thanks in advance.

NCAA Eligibility for Underclassman for Spring Sports

Posted by Hornetjames3 on 4/1/20 at 3:59 pm

I know seniors for spring sports will be granted an extra year of eligibility and not count against the cap. But do underclassman get another year of eligibility and not count against the cap in future years(In their future senior year)?
