Was watching the Duke/JMU game and switching back and forth between that and the Clemson game. Stayed on the Clemson game as the Duke/JMU game was such as blow out. Happy we have 4 ACC teams in the Sweet Sixteen. UNC, NC State, Duke and Clemson. Our family has internal rivalry. UNC, NC...

Trailwalker, I am so sorry to read this. All my prayers for your son and to you and your family.

My twin sister who lives an hour and a half away from me texted me last Sunday morning (2/11/24) she tested positive for Covid. She had not been boosted with the recent vaccine. I don't think she boosted in 2022/2023 either. Because of her husbands' health issues they have been extremely...

Harlee, that is truly disheartening. One, to have paid in for the "peace of mind of Long Term Health. Two, to have had to fight for 6 months to get them to pay. Three, to have to stay on them so they continue to pay. Where is the "peace of mind"?

If her assets consist of the house and $86,000, I'd be inclined to leave that $86,000 where it is until the house sells, if for no other reason than to pay the monthly expenses, utilities, possibly property taxes and insurance, upkeep, etc. Those are technically Trust expenses at this point...

Congratulations! Well done and let us know how you are!

I changed from an Anthem Drug plan going to $70/mth to Wellcare two years ago. No surprises but I am not expensive drugs. The only one I take regularly is a mild diuretic that manages my high blood pressure. With Wellcare it is zero cost. Liking the zero monthly cost this year (2024) for the...

I remember Nords and will look into obtaining his book. Thank you! If anyone has a link for this book, please share! In the meantime, I will look him up! Edit: I just found it on Amazon. Edit#2: And just purchased 2 paperback copies. One for them and one for me.

Thank you Bigdawg. Both my daughter and SIL mentioned something about disability. I don't know what SIL's rating is. They may have mentioned it in reference to his brother because they said all 4 of his brother's children will go to college free..meaning paid for. He is the one with the...

I will be constructing an email to both my daughter and son-in-law with the details I have been provided on this thread along with the the recommendation of transferring the benefit now so he can start on that 4 year service obligation! Thank you av8er.

Wonderful and I hear you regarding anything after what you and your wife have already transferred and planned...they can figure it out!

Thank you ivinsfan. Haven't a clue when they extended this to offspring but am glad they did! We are very proud of him and of course that comes with a bit of worry as well at times. Like now with the turbulent times you mentioned.

Thank you again av8er! They do currently receive TriCare medical. This is great info to know. I know he hasn't yet transferred the benefit to them as he really didn't seem to know even the highest level detail. He just knew he could transfer it (but I am a very detail oriented person! :laugh...

Thank you CRLLS. In researching and looking at a couple of videos, it seems the GI bill is accepted at most all public and even some private colleges and as you said, thru out the nation. Private colleges have another benefit on top of and in addition to the GI bill called "Yellow Ribbon"...

Thank you so much for replying av9er! It brought to mind another question. My son-in-law almost has 20 active duty years already (age 38). But I think he plans to stay in. His entire family is military. I read or thought I did, that the recipient of the transfer must be 18 years of age...

I am the grandmother and not from a military family. My daughter married military back in 2012 and he's been in since he was 19. He is currently 37, Special Forces. I set up 3 UGMA Custodial accounts for my three grandchildren several years ago and have been depositing a bit of money in...

Congratulations and many claps and kudos to you for sticking with it and hounding them. Please Let us know how the subsequent months go!

Oh Harlee..you have have my very deepest sympathy! This is just NOT right! What you have described is the main reason I decided to "Self Insure". I did not think my daughter would be able to navigate the paper work, the red tape much less when the insurance company denied coverage...

A little late to this thread. Not sure what design you are looking for but if by chance it ends up being a 3 stone ring, make sure the "color" of the side stones match the color of the center stone. If the color is off, it is very noticeable. This happens a lot when a center stone is...

Agree. I sort of equate it right up there with space exploration. Going where not many have gone before. But then I have been a Titanic follower for decades. I have been following this supposed tragedy just like millions of others. They will learn from this just as we learned from the...

Following this thread as I am considering breaking two 33 month jumbo CD's ($250,000 total) at Langley Federal Credit Union currently paying 3.25% that I purchased last July. The penalty is 6 months of interest. The new 5.35% CD is for 22 months. They come due almost a year earlier. I have...

I watched it in it's entirety. Great overview of the last 14 years of Easy Money. Hit points, while I had known, had not totally sunk in. Such as what the banks and corporations did with all that easy money, which was to either turn around and invest it or bought back their own stock to...

Great topic! I have always loved libraries and reading, fiction, non-fiction, historical fiction, biographies, etc. and panic a bit if I am without a good book to read. I typically have at least 3 lined up. My home is full of books but the last many years, the library knows me well.

Thank you simple girl and MarieIG!

Ditto what others have said. I would tell your DD not to sign it. I signed one for 6 months many decades ago and it locked me in to only using that realtor in that location. Years later, I was with a realtor looking at a property in a different location and she asked me to sign one just for...
