      Free money!

      Where does the tax benefit come in?

      Home mortgage debt gets a tax write off.

      Even if it's just a home equity loan?

      I believe so. But you'd have to verify.

      Interesting. Are there any index funds (like Vangard, I think?) that will let you put cash in that you can withdraw at any time without penalty? [Note, I'm not talking about IRA or 401k type programs]

      Vanguard definitely lets you cash out anytime. I think you can even write a check straight out of the account! It isn't instant like a savings account, takes like a day or two before the money comes out. But nearly instant.

      About two years ago, I started "investing" with LendingClub... I've seen a nice return on that (~9% over the two years)... I've had to raid the funds a time or two for emergencies, but it's a rather nice program. Once your balance reaches a certain limit, you can fire & forget... (it's only like $2,500... I'm not there yet, lol).

      Fire and forget?

      Auto draws on your account to invest monthly or whatever.

      What he said. You give it a spread of risk vs reward and it'll automatically handle stuff for you. As it is now, I have to log in a couple of times a month to make sure I'm getting paid, lol... Bank transfers from Lending Club to my Bank account generally happen over night (which is great for emergencies).

      It's a form of dollar cost averaging which statistically sees better gains as an investment tactic. Basically you don't worry about how the market is doing and you always invest the same amount every month.

        This is one instance where I don't agree with you, but that is okay

        But what artifact of Index Funds makes you feel that way? If you feel that they work this way, what's the reason?

        I'm basing my approach to it off of their lifetime historical performance going back to the beginning of recorded markets. Index Funds are specifically good for investing in even with only as little as ten years to recover. They have outperformed equities investing, mutual funds, commodities and others in every ten year period and nearly any shorter period... in recorded history.

        So they are mathematically the best investment even for people in their 50s that need to pull money out in just one decade and easily still very, very good for retirees who need to live off of retirement investments for decades yet to come.

        If anything, you can be more reckless in your investing when you are young. The old need stable, reliable investments because they have no time to make up for bad ones. Kids can take wild gambles and maybe get lucky or maybe work extra hard to make up for them over the course of their careers.

        So that's why I'm saying that while IFs are good for everyone, they are least important for youths and most important for the elderly when risk aversion becomes higher. Since IFs are the lowest risk vehicle that there is, they are most important when you can't afford risk.

                Ya, Red Hat calls it Identity Management. Its a lot more polished in Fedora/RHEL than any other place I've seen it.

                              Can't believe that I've never been muted before. But seriously, this is my first one. This was from Reidclone I'm 99% sure after he said that he was sure that the user knew that what he was telling him was a scam and was upset that I was telling the truth rather than backing the vendors. I was not prim and proper in responding to that crap.

                                        Forever. Not sure which thread, it's one with Readclone telling me that he couldn't believe that I'd tell people that products weren't a good idea to buy and not just support my vendor partners. I've not seen him posting since then, so maybe it's his last posts at this time. It was a thread where a newbie was asking about storage planning for their very tiny setup. I'm unsubscribed from it so not sure how to find it again.

                                          SW emails are flowing again. Looks like they did a community update today and had problems.

                                            Ten minutes on SW and you can catch up from missing half a day. Takes half a day to catch up on ten minutes of ML 😉
