re: I-10 Severe Weather/Flooding Threat Rd. 2- Thursday/Friday
Posted by Crescent Connection on 5/16/24 at 10:24 pm
I’m in Broussard. That was some wild shite. I really thought my roof was going to tear off. More intense than any tropical storm/hurricane I’ve witnessed firsthand, including Gustav in BR. ...

re: What is the Best Restaurant in Lafayette?
Posted by Crescent Connection on 5/14/24 at 1:41 pm
Vestal is the best restaurant. Only dined there a handful of times, but I left each time satisfied and happy. Yes, it’s the most expensive meal in town, but it can be when it’s that good. ...

re: Shooting threat at First Communion Mass in Abbeville St Mary Magdalen
Posted by Crescent Connection on 5/12/24 at 7:49 pm
We bounce between St. Pius 10:30am and 11am Sacred Heart in Broussard depending on how late we are running. The police presence at Pius started after Roe v Wade was overturned. They have the money to hire cops. I never felt the need for one, but if it deters one crazy person from shooting up a churc...

When do you start becoming conservative with 529 accounts?
Posted by Crescent Connection on 5/5/24 at 8:14 am
My oldest is in 6th grade. Currently have her in a mix of large/mid/small cap and total stock market. All Vanguard funds. I have coworkers who lost significant gains 2008-2009 when their kids entered college. I'm very weary of the current financial status and economic outlook of the country. Should ...

re: How much should I invest in international mutual funds in my 401k?
Posted by Crescent Connection on 5/1/24 at 8:31 am
I was on the fence 2 years ago about investing anything in international, but someone on this board convinced me to put 15% towards those funds. I split it 7.5% Vanguard International Growth and 7.5% Vanguard International Index. I feel like they are both undervalued at the moment, and the US econom...

re: I never order pizza, but when did Papa John’s start Sucking arse?
Posted by Crescent Connection on 4/24/24 at 8:47 pm
Lil Caesar’s is pretty legit. And very convenient if there’s a hot and ready available.
If I’m at Costco on a Saturday around lunch, I’ll get a $10 pizza and my family devours it. Huge pizza and tasty. ...
re: 2 year inverted yield curve
Posted by Crescent Connection on 4/22/24 at 9:44 am
I'm racking my brains over this. I'm 39. Tempted to put all future 403b/401k contributions for my wife and I into money market/cash starting this week with the anticipation of a hard recession similar to 2007-2009. I would not touch all current investments. Reassess 14-18 months out? Wise or foolish...

Reminds of Western Alliance Bank (WAL) last March 2023 when Silicon Valley Bank started the chain reaction of bank collapses. WAL went from $75 to $8, and eventually rebounded back to $40-65 in a few months. I wonder if this plays out the same. ...
