    Any Quicken 2013 users?

    I am a long time Quicken user - currently on the 2010 version. I'm considering upgrading to 2013 Premier, primarily for the mobile app. We're on the road quite a bit, and it would be nice to be able to access Quicken from my tablet on the road (Quicken is loaded on my desktop). The reviews on...

    Parents and Medicaid questions

    We will hopefully finally sell our house this year and be able to move to a lower cost of living area. We asked my parents (87 and 91) to move with us - my brother is not local, and they are at the point where they need our support. However, I'm concerned about their buying a home at this point...

    Cash Flow

    DH has given his final notice, so last day is July 6. Now that it's coming down to it, how do you change your mindset from saving to spending? We have always lived within our means, never taking money out of the bank except for large purchases (car, etc.) Now I'm just supposed to WHAM start...

    How do you get a mortgage when you're ER'd?

    We are looking to ER early next year, and relocate to a lower cost area/state (take the money we made in CA and run!). My question is, how do you get a mortgage without a job? Will they look at assets only? Do we need to buy a new house before we quit? We were thinking about renting for a while...

    Pay off mortgage with HELOC?

    We have a second home with a $92,000 mortgage at 6 1/8%. Our HELOC is now down to 3.25% (tied to prime). We are wondering whether it doesn't make sense to pay off that mortgage with the HELOC. (This would have the added benefit of allowing us to cancel unnecessary but required flood...
