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.

Do not be hasty about following the advice of someone who is in unusual circumstances. Like, for example, someone who hit a jackpot and retired rich on their mid 30's, with no wife or kids. Their circumstance is very different from the vast majority of people.

<scratches head> does that have to do with Medicare Advantage? I intend to follow the advice of my PCP who strongly recommends avoiding Medicare Advantage. It might work fine most of the time but the downsides are enormous. If it works for you, more power to ya (sincerely) but once I get past 65 I won't want to take health risks like that.
