I had the same issue and more. I have picked a plan and paid the initial month, but it's still listed as pending 3 weeks later. How do I make sure it went through?

To me, those saying they don't have online access are the most vulnerable. 1. They don't have quick access to notifications on changes to their account. 2. Their account is basically "unclaimed" for online access. It's much better to take control and learn about the ins and outs of your...

So, I'm finally looking at the end of the line.. Sale of my business ($1M+) pending. I'm well situated otherwise, so I can venture a little. Most of the profit will be in the form of long term capital gains. Quite a tax hit, but I'd like to roll over at least some of that into QOZ funds...

Ally savings is 1.5% plus the 1% bonus. . I got a bit parked there. Moved about 500k to cash as this started going down, so now looking to DCA my way back in.

I'm fine with the Fed stabilizing short term interest rates. Printing too much money with affect Inflation, which we're just not seeing. Public debt to GDP has been stable for years now.

looks like the first time my rate will decline.

I have a few windows 7 machines that I updated for free to windows 10. They had a win7 pro license on the box. I downloaded the window 10 ISO maker from microsoft. Installed win10 pro on the box, used the win 7 key to activate the machine. If you're old machine is slower than an i5... I...

My area is #3? HA. Would not recommend... and thus, can't recommend the list.

Oh, thanks. so no 1099 because it's less than $600..

I just got my "Medical Loss Ratio Rebate" from 2018. Over $500! Does anyone know if that's reported to the IRS? I'm sole proprietor, and so deduct the premiums. So, I suppose that the rebate is taxable. Any idea on how that would be handled? is it off 2018 return or on to 2019 return?

78% of workers.. not of all americans. Most americans don't work.

I've had the fido CMA and brokerage account for about a year. I ditched my local bank. I keep $0 in my Cash account, and use my brokerage account as overdraft. (brokerage account cash is kept in higher interest money market fund) So, there is basically zero wait time for me to get money...
