The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Here's a bit of advice I heard from Jim Cramer. "Do it when you can...."

My (retired) brother & his wife live in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. High altitude, cold & brutal snowy winters. About 10 years ago they were thinking about selling and moving to some place like Florida. They didn't, and now are too old and weak to move.

When we retired (I was 58) we immediately started traveling the world, even spent a couple of days in Monaco. People advised us to wait, defer taking the pension & Social security to get the larger deferred benefit. Then in 2019 Covid happened and the world shut down.
