When retirement goals talk about $2-3M thumbrule, do they usually mean for a couple or individual? I know…that number is calculated based on the 4% withdrawal rate and it is just a thumbrule, but is it usually meant for a married couple or an individual? Sry if this is a dumb question. submitted by /u/lawaythrow

I’m a couple months in. How am I doing? Pretty much brand new to photography. Took a couple cool photos on my phone, and figured I’d give it a shot with an actual camera. These are after a few months of messing around with said camera. I feel like I’m actually starting to be mindful of composition, but I definitely still need practice. Thoughts? submitted by /u/juicypineapple17…

40 year old couple Galapagos/Machu Picchu Road Scholars 40 year old couple looking to go to the Galapagos, maybe a little more, found this and it looks great but also, if the company is for older people, would that affect the experience?

Booking rooms in Sri Lanka as a lesbian couple I’m going to be visiting Sri Lanka with a girlfriend (I’m a woman). We’ve traveled to many places with laws and public opinion that are unfavorable to the gay community so I’m comfortable with not showing affection in public, telling people we are friends, etc. But one thing I wanted to check on is booking hotel beds. I’ve experienced places whe…

Traveling as a couple in major cities. How do you fill in your time? Just got back from a 3 week trip with my fiance in Spain and Portugal. We ate and drank our way through these countries and while we had an amazing time, we found some days very lacking in terms of excitement. Our typical day (not traveling to another city), would be wake up (late), have breakfast at a cafe or hotel if it was free, go on a walki…

For married couple with large income gap, does it matter which 401k we invest in? At first I assumed we should prioritize the 401k of the larger income but then realized if we are filing jointly then it shouldn’t matter? Since the IRS are summing up our taxable income anyways. Am I wrong on that? submitted by /u/PlatinumMode

Paris for 7 days with a couple day trips OR stay somewhere else for 1-2 nights? We (spouse and I) land at CDG morning of 12/26; will depart from CDG 1/2 or 1/3. This will be our first trip outside of the Americas. We intend to start traveling more and plan to visit Europe many more times, so we don’t necessarily need to stuff in a lot of different places.

What are your favorite “Firsts” (ie first kiss between two gay characters, first all-musical episode, first interracial couple, etc.) in TV history? Hi, Hope you’re doing well. This is a tricky question to ask because breaking new ground is practically impossible these days (so you have to go back a bit and perhaps before your time) but since TV has been around for around a century now I’m curious to discuss with you lot about your favorite “firsts” and also examples of this they you’ve seen…

LPT when someone needs to open the door for you, text them a couple of minutes before arriving (rather than immediately after arriving) Especially if arriving walking, when you’re almost certain you’ll be there in about 5 minutes. Often people won’t read your “I’m here” text immediately when you send it, and when they do they’ll need to go downstairs or whatever. Sending ETAs has the same kind of idea but you can just get late and you’ll have the other person waiting for you. …

Is travel compatibility important in a couple? I know of a couple that met at work. She apparently eagerly joined him on hiking trips to various mountains. When they married and he talked about going hiking she went to the window and pointed to the mountain thet’s close to our city and told him “You want mountains? Here they are!”. I feel like a love couple should discuss those things well i…

What TV couple started off great but essentially lost their “spark”? With some TV couples I find there are quite a lot that started off by having really great chemistry that you feel invested in their storyline, however whether it involves the “will they, won’t they” trope or it doesn’t lead to anything else you kinda feel a little bored watching it or lose their chemistry spark that you no longer are rooting for…

Who is the worst TV couple that a long-running show seemed to randomly decide was end-game? Usually because the show was going to end anyway and it’s almost like whichever person a main character was dating at the time we’re supposed to believe is their “true love”- or sometimes they put them back with another main character when they weren’t any good in the first place just to tie things up. submitted by /u/iheartdna …

Visiting southern Italy as a queer couple? Hiya, My girlfriend and I (we are both women) are visiting Puglia in August. We’ll be staying in and visiting a few small towns near Bari (Ostuni, Mola di Bari, Lecce etc). I have read that in Southern Italy, especially outside of bigger cities, people can be a bit less accepting of LGBTQ+ people. I’m a bit worried as I didnt tell the AirBnB hos…

LPT Keep a spare dog leash in your car for the next couple weeks Dogs often bolt when they hear fireworks, which makes the end of June/start of July prime time for dogs to be running loose in the U.S. Please note that I am not encouraging people to approach lost dogs who are scared!

It helped our first child go from sleeping a couple hours at a time to sleeping for 11-12 hours per night straight after jus…
