I love John Denver. I understand what he is saying because I've lived it. I recently moved from the ski area that I lived at since college (I'm an old woman now.), but my soul will always be in the mountains. (And yes, I do know who I am.) thank you for posting this song.

I ask because I am considering buying some in a taxable account and I don't like having to re-file taxes when the funds (or ETF's) correct. If they correct I sell them.

Does anyone know if VXUS has a history (or not) of correcting 1099's?

Sorry about the above post with my comment in the quote section. I think I fixed it but I'm not sure. Anyway, my comment: Because of individual variation in people - and therefore countries - all we can expect is the unexpected. If that were not true then anything good for everyone else would...

Quality?

P.S. I once read that if a person allows an "uncomfortable" feeling to engulf him/her, the human psyche will only allow the feeling for 3 minutes. I do this exercise with every "uncomfortable" feeling and have found that it works. Fighting the feeling - at least for me - makes it linger.

I retired before DH and I did get lonely at first. I have always been an introvert and enjoyed being alone; in fact, I often feel lonely in a crowd, so it was a surprise. I just lived through it. I did walk a lot. I'd always been a hiker but I became a walker in every season, in every kind of...

Can you imagine how much longer it would take to see a doctor if everyone was on medicare? Already in California (and New Mexico I hear) you almost always see an NP, not a doctor, and that was after months of waiting. Our doctor friends in Calif tell us that they will retire if Medicare for all...

Thank you. While it's bad news I'm glad I'm aware of it. I researched it but didn't find that article.

Correction (and yep, I'm quoting myself!): I meant to say as of Nov 1, 2018 not 2019. Additionally I agree with others that Medicare A & B offers doctor choice over an advantage plan. If we hadn't been able to choose a doctor for DH some years ago he would be dead.

I read that as of Nov. 1, 2019 this kind of billing was illegal but if the info is true, it wouldn't surprise me that hospitals do it anyway. My suggestion is for the OP to contact Medicare. DH and I have horrible experiences with hospital billing including being turned over to collection for a...

I'm looking for Total World Stock Mutual Funds or ETF's that don't have a history of correcting 1099's. Also, do any of you have experiences with SCHD (ETF) correcting or not? Thank you.

Let yourself cry and grieve for as long as it takes no matter what anyone says. Everyone's process is different. Don't fight the grief or it will persist. It's a horrible thing to have to do but we sometimes have to.

Apparently cities in California are banning natural gas in new construction in a way to fight climate change: https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/10/29/san-jose-bans-natural-gas-as-mayor-testifies-to-congress-about-car-emissions/

I budgeted the same way when we were both working.
