The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

BTW, can't recall if I mentioned this before but over at bogleheads.org there is a member (Stinky) who was an insurance executive and has answered a ton of questions on annuities (MYGA, immediate, variable, etc.) and has a very long thread entitled "Purchasing MYGAs (multi year guaranteed annuities) - mega thread".

Stinky does his best to get people to avoid variable annuities.

Anyhow if you have questions on them, it is a good place to post.

I have about 10% of my money in MYGAs and that is enough for me. Personally I don't like dealing with insurance companies so I do it reluctantly.

Thanks
Rich
