    Health Care notice for 2017

    That is great information and I appreciate your response. So the penalty will most likely go away with the abolishment (or changes) of AHA coming soon. DW & I are healthy 62 year olds (no pre-existing issues) so we're fortunate in that regard. The whole subsidies issue is wishy-washy due to my...

    My plan is no longer offer offered. Cheapest new plan is $1000.00 higher. So what's the IRS penalty for doing without?

    401(k) rollover decision to be made

    Just going through the severance situation right now too. I turned 59.5 last month but have decided to roll the 401 from JP Morgan to a brokerage IRA account for better fund choices. I also carry an umbrella as mentioned in post 10. I'll get a DB (not large) but the plan was to wait for age 62...

    Dumping Cable But Somehow Keeping Internet...

    And you can be far away from the signal too. Prior to 9/11 I was pulling in quite a few HD channels off the north WTC tower, 38 air miles away.
