my vote goes for... YouTube - 311 - Love Song Originally done by The Cure, this version is easily my favorite love song ever.

So, we met with the guy and, being stubborn, I didn't take the advice, and proceeded to get into an argument with him over whole. I told him to not even start his pitch because there was no way we were doing it. I've talked it over with DH, he's on board with me for term. As for disability...

No estate as of yet to think of, but he's thinking of later on. I don't think it will be an issue for us, as I plan on using our money before we kick the bucket. My problem with an attorney is that DH is a lawyer, and has already told me that all tax attornies would agree that whole is the way...

DH and I are thinking about starting a family somewhat soon, and would like to have life insurance set up before things start happening. He's met with an insurance salesman that is a brother of his co-worker and is asking that I meet with him as well. DH has already met with this man and is...

I'm also looking for an answer to this. Any help will be appreciated. DH and I are teetering on tipping over into the 33% tax bracket this or next year, and I would like to make sure that we stay as low as possible. Thanks!;D

Not meaning to rush you, but the switch from Ameriprise may take a while. Ameriprise has been known to "lose" transfer information and when I first switched to Vanguard, the estimated completion date was 6 months from when I started the transfer. It was actually completed in about two weeks...

Question about who gets the checks My co-worker is 24, and lives with her mother. She paid into federal taxes this year, but her mother mistakenly claimed her on her mother's taxes. She's wondering if she's going to be getting any of the tax relief since she did pay into taxes. Also, even...

-5.61% in 401(k)~92% equity

What does "phase out gradually" really mean? DH and I combined made well over $150,000 AGI last year. Are we getting anything?

Hi JoeDreaming, I ended up closing my IRA account with Ameriprise in October, and transfering it over to Vanguard. Ameriprise charged me $50 to close the account and the "advisor" (who never advised me on anything) said that that was the standard account closing fee. I went to Vanguard because...

I just came back from attending the potluck/gift exchange office party. We all had to bring a gift that was $20 or less. I spent $18. I got a stress ball and a personal mustache and sideburn trimmer.......I"M A GIRL!!! Also from the looks of them, they each came from the dollar bins at...

I cashed in about $10,500 in bonds earlier this year. Will I get a statement telling me how much interest I earned, or do I just have to guess a number on the tax sheets?

The verdict is still out. They weren't listening to what I thought, so I sent an article about what fees can do to your portfolio and that got them thinking. The problem is that they really like the guy. They've had him or his mother as an FA for over 15 years and feel loyalty. I will still...

woohoo! As of this morning, the funds from Ameriprise have been completely transferred into my new Vanguard account. Good riddance!
