My company is starting a 401K plan, and I'm 59 years old. I get the whole "no tax up front, taxed when you withdraw" concept but here's the question - do I max out and ride it for 6-8 years or do I just pay my insanely high income tax like I've been doing for years? (no dependas/no debt/no real deductions to speak of)

I can do trad 401k or Roth, or both. Employer will match some, but not all I put in.

I really have no idea about these things, so I'm hoping you money enthusiasts and smarter than me types can help a brotha out :)

is there a calendar somewhere I can see what's going on when, so I can avoid the undesirable events and masses? It seems I never know what's going on until it's happened and on the news.

It was the fall of 2005, I was seeing 2 women (they didn't know it), one had a blue Rx8 and the other a black 350z convertible.

The RX8 was gorgeous, and out handled the Nissan, it also had a much nicer interior and overall once at speed was a much more enjoyable driver. The RX was an absolute blast to take mountain driving.

The 350Z was quicker and faster, and handled like a truck compared to the Mazda. The drop top was nice, however.

The high rev launch for the RX was a steep learning curve, as was the twice it left the owner stranded due to the starting without full warming up trick learned yet... it also drank a quart of oil every 700-1k miles.

The Mazda won every category except the ones that counted for a daily driver - stop and go traffic, and reliability. But my goodness... was that blue beast stunning to look at and a brilliant touring car.

Mazda should be sued for giving us such a great car design with such a POS engine. The 4 door sportscar was ahead of it's time. The 350z was hideous to look at, a bore to drive, and in no way inspired me.

But, 20 some years later.... that was a pretty good autumn ;)

My entire life up until about 15 years ago, the TV in the living room was on the floor. As in, a piece of furniture usually, but the bottom of the screen ranged from 6-18" off the floor I'd say. Then I went to a end table height stand with a 50" so the screen is then 36" off the floor. Now it's on the wall and about 5" off the floor, or should I go by the top and say it's 8' tall.

This revelation made me wonder about how our necks and eyes are doing, going from shoe gazers to star gazers.

I don't really have a point, but I do wonder what YOUR ideal viewing height is.
