    Another Crazy Homeowners Insurance Premium Situation (resolved)

    We received our renewal a few days ago (at least was not a cancellation like most years). Went from about $5000 to $5800 which actually is not bad... I'm in FL and we've been cancelled many times (no claims). We have a no-name company, no idea if they could pay the claim, etc--and not a fancy...

    Use It or Lose It Letter From Credit Card

    In early March I received a letter from my Citi Sears Mastercard saying that they were going to reduce my limit from 10K to 2K if I didn't use it in two months. Said I hadn't used it in two years. Backstory before you start laughing about a Sears branded card...I was offered this about 20 years...

    2024 Travel Plans

    Recently returned from two weeks in Japan with my two grown kids. I have a two week Norway cruise scheduled for this summer with almost a week in Scotland after the cruise. I've never been to either of those countries.

    The Eagles - Lip Syncing? Milli Vanilli redux?

    That is really interesting that you brought this up. I'm not any type of musician, etc so I don't know-- but I'm a big concert fan. I saw The Eagles in 2018 and commented afterward that they were still really good, sounded like their records, etc. It was at a giant stadium with Jimmy Buffet...

    Medicare Poll

    I have UHC/AARP MediGap G and my husband has F. His has no deductible and mine has about $250-ish deductible. No copays. We pay about $420 per month and another amount that is deducted from our SS check-don't remember how much that it. We also get about $150 back per month (total for the...

    Paying non-US sites for travel: CC Security

    Sometimes it is your bank, it seems especially Visa branded cards, that prevent this. Apparently they think it's fraud. I had problems with pre-booking things in Japan a few years ago (in addition to their sites!!, just different from US ones sometimes.) DD also had problems just a few...

    What's Your Buzz?

    Going to concerts, singing along to the songs and losing my voice. Sort of acting like a teenager except without getting next to the stage with the speakers in my ears. I've got Bob Dylan coming up (not a sing-along person), plus The Eagles and then the Stones in the summer. Unfortunately...

    DH signed up for Medicare Plan G today!

    I have the same exact Medicare and prescription plan that Scuba has (FL also). Last year I went to the ER, stayed overnight for observation and did not owe anything. The original bill was over 37K (for about 26 hours there). This is a great plan.

    2024 Travel Plans

    Going to Japan for two weeks in March with my two 30/31 kids. DD was just there in December and we all went there in 2019. Having fun doing the planning, it's part of the trip! And playing the points game, we're getting five nights on points and will inch me toward the next level on Hyatt (just...

    Post Photos of Your Old Concert Ticket Stubs Here!

    I made these collages decades ago of ticket stubs glued onto wood. I will always keep them but never put them out or on the wall. Some of the prices are unbelievable --like $8.50 for Paul McCartney (my first post with a photo, hope it works...)

    Your most memorable Christmas toys

    A kids-sized guitar. I was probably in 4th or 5th grade. Went out in the middle of the night to check the stuff under the tree and it wasn't there. It's not something that could be hidden under the tree. I was so bummed I couldn't get back to sleep. But I guess I did. Got up in the morning...

    Fidelity website not updating balances

    Yes! And it's been weird for months. My husband has his 401K there and I have my IRA. Mine works fine but my husband's says- You have successfully logged into NetBenefits but have landed on a page that no longer exists. To ensure that your information is protected, please close your browser...

    Medicare Plan G but hospital charging balance

    I went to the ER plus one night observation a few weeks ago and just received my bill. It was 32K(!!) but the amount they say I still owe is $450. I have Plan G (not the high deductible) and have already paid my deductible (I think it's about $226) It's not an itemized bill, just one page so...
