    PIREP: Flying Eyes Prescription glasses

    I stared at this for awhile, then gave up and have to ask. What does this mean?

    Nice shot of north Ocean City!

    Retirement questions

    I'll add a couple more comments, for what they're worth. My perspective: 68 years old, married, retired (after years of planning, then unretired when things went south, then retired again), now on Social Security and Medicare. As you look ahead at retirement, trying to guess how long you will...

    Retirement questions

    I think someone mentioned this recently, but if you're looking for a fee-only planner, try www.garrettplanningnetwork.com. I used one of their members (who has since retired), and was very satisfied.

    7-4 Bonanza down near Aspen

    They weren't doomed until they got too far up that valley to turn back. Until then, they had a way out.

    Tinnitus concerns

    I'll be interested to hear about any treatment and results you have. I had tinnitus come on suddenly a couple of years ago, from no discernable cause, but fortunately not debilitating, just annoying. I saw an audiologist, who said it was related to my (relatively mild) hearing loss, and told me...

    N/A Money manager charges / %.

    It doesn't take anywhere near $20 million to be eligible for investments like private equity. The threshold to qualify as a high-net-worth investor varies between financial institutions, but as little as $1 million in investable assets can get you there. We have some through our brokerage.

    Looking for new North Jersey flight school

    If you like your CFI, what is he/she going to do? If they're going to another school, you could just follow them.

    New form of medical torture

    Or like Michael Jackson, just "lights out."

    Downgrading from PPL training to Sport Pilot

    When I first learned about Sport Pilot and LSAs, I recall finding a site that purported to list Sport Pilot schools around the country. Of course, my Googling today can't find it, but you might want to try. Also check out sportpilottalk.com, a forum focused on exactly that (with a number of...

    Garage build lessons learned/ideas

    A floor drain, for many reasons.

    N/A Money manager charges / %.

    Another vote here for "hourly fee only" advice, especially on investment or retirement topics other than which stocks to pick. We hired one (actually a member of the Garrett network mentioned above, though since retired) when we were making our when-to-retire decision. She ran analyses of our...

    172 Crash near KFWN (Sussex County)

    I only watched part of the video, and with the sound off (arguably the least painful way to watch Gryder), so he may have addressed this, but as a one-time skydiver I have to ask WHAT KIND OF IDIOT JUMPS WITHOUT A HELMET?!

    What other professions are okay with late-night messaging?

    I'm no longer in any profession (thankfully!), but traveling through multiple time zones, get calls or texts early or late where I am. (When I'm in Arizona, it makes me crazy that East Coast folks habitually call at 5 in the morning, or whatever.) I happily discovered recently that my Samsung...

    Favorite conspiracy theories

    Reminds me of Capricorn One, which IIRC featured O.J. Simpson. So bonus conspiracy connections there!
