Can insurers deny coverage if you have a hotel’s address as your home address on your policy but aren’t living in the hotel at the time of the claim? Let’s say you’re an RV’er or permanent traveler. You find the most inexpensive policy in a particular state. You enroll for coverage and list a...

Ok, Florida driver's license question... I've started the mail service (Traveling Mailbox) and when I changed my first address with my Fidelity accounts, their screen read "The US Postal Service cannot identify your address or a similar standard address". Ultimately I was able to submit the...

Here are three such services: MyRV Mail, St. Brendan's Isle, and Traveling Mailbox.

Thanks for your input. How would a state know that an address was a forwarding address if it read just like a street address? It would show up in their system as a forwarding address or something?

Thank you. Yes, I will register to vote in FL and plan to do so in mid-2015. That can be done concurrent with a driver's license application, but I will register to vote a few weeks earlier because...two proof of residency docs are required for the driver's license application. The only two I...

Thanks. I won't consider myself actually living in Florida until July 2015. At that time the car will be gone but I will have a FL driver's license. After my travels I will probably get an apartment and car in Florida, in 2016 or 2017.

Hi all. I’m trying to decide whether to keep my automobile registered in my current state of residence (Tax State) after obtaining a virtual mailing address in Florida (FL) this upcoming December. (With a virtual mailing address, I would be able to view my mail through a web browser and choose...

Ok this might sound hypocritical, but I've come across an opportunity that is a good fit and would allow me to live overseas, a lifelong goal of mine. The pay (salary + expat package) would be significant and give me a substantial RE cushion and I could travel to many places in the region that I...

Perhaps, if it occurred at the right time. In fact I may try to "engineer my layoff" a la Financial Samurai near the end of the 20 months.

But what if I get laid off unexpectedly and then want to pursue these other opportunities? What can I say now that would position me most favorably in that event?

I should reach FI in about 20 months, barring a market meltdown. I want to hunker down in my current job for the sprint to the finish. Recruiters continue to contact me with job opportunities, mostly via email through Linkedin. As a hedge to single employer risk, I'd like to keep my FIRE plans...

I've seen 24 months a lot but not 36 months. The bigger issue is the culture and his new boss. He needs to get inside information, talk to people who worked there before, and be as certain as possible that he will get along with his new boss. 36 months could be because they have high turnover...

OP, there seems to be a lot of dogma and scare tactics out there saying you can't quit your job for a long stretch and hope to restart in a similar line of work later on. I'll grant that it would be hard to get back in at a comparable salary as when you left, but I still think this type of...

Working for the man is like running in a gerbil wheel...
