    Toyota Rav-4 hybrid or Honda CR-V hybrid?

    I learned the CRVs since 2014 run hot on oil and can lead to burning out the engine before when a synthetic oil change (7,500 miles) is due. Still a good vehicle with resale far above Chevy and GMC.

    Getting rid of popcorn ceilings

    My wife did our entire upper floor before kids while I was out of town because I didn’t see the value in the commitment. Wish we did it all now, but I’m not sure it’s something that adds value to the sale of a home.

    New Jack Trice Endowed Scholarship

    You are correct in the investment strategy. The corpus remains, and the dollars dispersed each year come from interest. More than likely, $500K offers a full scholarship to the sport of your choosing. A $50K+ fund likely supports all athletics, so the FatNTired Family Fund might support a...

    New Jack Trice Endowed Scholarship

    Because while you are correct in the modest and conservative investment strategy, you are incorrect. $50K is the minimum to create an endowed fund. The rule of thumb is 5% of the corpus is dispersed annually. A $100K endowed fund would disperse $5K annually, and so on.

    Yep. Long-term, it’s budget relieving so annually that $2,500+ can go elsewhere. Significant.

    IOWA STATE TO BIG TEN?!? Dave Wannstedt thinks so.

    The campaign was comprehensive, meaning the $1.5B total includes annual giving. The total also includes planned gifts. Higher-ed typically utilizes a 5 year pledge period. Foundation accounting most often includes the pledge amount in the overall endowment figure. So, if I pledged $100K in...

    ISU vet offers to give away his business to attract new vet

    Faribault County is a long ways from Faribault in many ways. I find it surprising a county with strong ag does not have other vet options, but southern Minnesota is all about crops and little for livestock.

    Eastern Iowa Beer Tiers

    I’ll simply add commentary to those I’ve been to: Lion’s Bridge: great location and patio; beer borders on fine-to-good Pulpit: the most exploratory beers in Iowa and a dive feel — my favorite Iowa Brewing: a place that serves their own beer and is near me TG: love the beer, the new spot is...

    The sport has very little parity so I love it.
