6 AnswersFast Food1 year agoWhy do car companies see the need to design completely different models of cars every year?
Just seems odd and a big waste to change all the factories, new design teams, marketing, etc. Why not be like airplane makers and make new models or versions when enough technological changes justify it?
10 AnswersOther - Cars & Transportation1 year agoThe streetlights in Las Vegas are terrible, why?
Recent trip to Vegas and rented a car. The streetlights seem low or are not bright enough (anywhere off the strip). On local news pedestrians always getting struck and I see why. Very scary cause even though they are on, it is hard to see pedestrians also hard to see the lanes in the roads. Not sure if this is done on purpose to save money but it is a significant safety issue.

3 AnswersMovies2 years agoIs it good idea to diversify some of my 401k into a separate traditional IRA?
I have all my retirment savings in my employer's traditional 401k program and I am 100% vested. I'am wondering if it is a good idea to take a half of that value and roll over into a traditional IRA with a different investment company. It's attractive since I will have more choices of investment, plus its money no longer having any connection with my employer and totally under my control.
What frightens me though is if I could be boxing myself into a corner later in life when I want to withdraw the money. Not sure if I would hit maximum limits. Though very unlikely, if I ever withdrew the money early would I be hit with more complicated withdrawal penalties and fees? Would management fees eat up more of my savings? Any advise or if you could share resources appreciated. Example data as follows:
Age: 38
Amount in current 401K = 50K
Amount thinking of rolling over = 25K

Is this good or bad? Any idea?
