Recruiting Football Talk VIII

That thing is massive!

 

[knoxvol52]

I'm not trying to debate back and forth with anyone about it...my top 3 have always been MJ, Bird, Magic; but, the highlighted part just isn't true, my friend.

The year before Magic arrived, the Lakers finished 47-35, and went to Western Conference Semi-Finals. The year before Bird, the Celtics finished 29-53. Bird's rookie year, they won 61 games, with him being the only offseason pickup. It's still the biggest improvement from one year to the next, in NBA history.

Magic Johnson 1978-79 NCAA Tournament MVP and 1979-80 NBA Championship and MVP of the Finals ONLY ROOKIE ever to win Finals MVP.

Head to head
Beat Bird for National Championship
Beat Bird 2/3 NBA Finals
Has 5 rings compared to Bird's 3
During the 80's both rosters were stacked ....

As far as Jordan goes, in this Modern NBA era, Jordan would average 50 ppg. The guy averaged over 32 per game when they could clothes line you.

Larry Bird couldn't get on the court with today's athletes. . .

...oh now you done did it.

Not true my sweetheart tells me that it's massive once a month. Sadly she is talking about my 401-K .......

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Speaking of 401k....any of you ever taken a loan out against yours?

On paper I'm not seeing much downside... big chunk to pay for the garage build I wanna do, pay back with interest rate (9.5% or lower) and even the interest is going back into my 401k...

My only gripe is the max period to pay it back appears to be 54 months (why 54 I don't know...I'm curious if it's going by calendar year though).

But it just takes the payment right out of my regular check so not like something I'd even have to setup or remember to do.

9.5% interest seems criminal + any penalties against your 401K. I would annualize any interest gained (certainly more than 9.5%) versus making home improvement.

Can you get out what you put in?

Why not HI loan or even borrow against home?

 

[Jackcrevol]

oh yeah. he is a turd.

Does a man need two parking spaces for 1 car?

A man needs the opposite proportional parking space size to the size of his genitalia relative to the plus or minus he is to the population average. It’s science.

Don't think there's any penalties if you use it for home repairs... As far as the interest goes it's like paying yourself it goes into your account...win,win in my book.,

I neither back in, or am I entitled to two spots. Arguably, also not an *******.

Right where I think Tennessee would be. Hate, hate, double hate seeing Bama, UGA, and UF ahead, especially traveling to Tuscaloosa and Gainesville this year.

Both rosters WERE stacked, with the Lakers being the better team, with a MUCH BETTER head coach. Not saying K.C. Jones was a slouch, but he wasn't Pat Riley. Lakers were slightly better in those days, with their HOFs being better than the Celts HOFs, except for Bird.

I did this after we purchased a house that needed a lot of work. Mine had a much lower interest rate, but then again, you're paying yourself, so it's essentially like you're making additional contributions to the 401k. I don't believe that the additional interest counts against yearly contribution limits. The main downside for mine (not sure if this applies to you) was that it was directly tied to replacing the securities that you had liquidated to fund the loan rather than the loan amount itself. As a result, if the market moves higher, you'd have to pay more cash than you were loaned to replace the same 10000 shares of XYZ. On the other hand, if there were a downturn, you pay back less than the amount loaned. A strange way to run a railroad, but in the end, it was pretty much a wash. There were minimal fees to set it up, and no penalties, as I can remember. My repayment period was somewhat similar to yours, but I don't recall exactly.

The perv got a 6 year extension for $40 million+ . Golden have all those co-eds on E-Mail now...

Another year where LSU is preseason top 10... Lagway hype is one thing, but UF as a team hype is overblown

So you haven't done a 401k loan before then?

You borrow the money from yourself, the repayment + interest goes back into the 401k...in theory paying that additional 9.5% in a down stock market might net me more than had it stumbled along earning 6-8%

Yeah, it appears the way mine is setup is the sum borrowed is paid back + interest. But no fluctuation would occur based on market performance. I'm not sure what the 9.5% is based off of...the way that read it was a "the highest it could be" so may be less than that. I'm also not sure where the rate came from, curious if it's based on the 401k's performance since inception.

Don't think there's any penalties if you use it for home repairs... As far as the interest goes it's like paying yourself it goes into your account...win,win in my book.,

Although a plan is allowed to attached reasons for the use of a loan (some choose to attach the same allowable reasons for a hardship withdrawal) most plans don't restrict based off of reason/need for the loan. Due to that fact that you are agreeing to pay it back to the account there are no taxes or penalties, only a nominal distribution fee.

As for the timing of paybacks that original poster mentioned almost every plan I have ever seen uses a maximum payback window of 5 years unless it is for the purchase of a primary residence and then you have up to 15 years to pay it back.
