DW got an email about winning a contest and needed to fill out a 1099 including her SSN. Of course, there's so many scams out there today we were very skeptical that she actually won. After some investigation, it looked legit, then remembered that she actually entered this contest. Well, we're...

I was browsing the best brokers topics. I'm looking into WellsTrade since they offer 100 free trades per year with $25k assets to avoid any fees. Vanguard offers free trades but you need $1 mil in Vanguard only assets - that's too steep. Any other places to consider? I'd like to get some...

I'm not sure if anyone used this option, but I did. I Filed online by April 17, 2012, IRS received my excess payment on April 18. I was expecting April 2012 bonds w/3.06% rate instead, I got May 2012 bonds w/2.2% rate. I bought $5k worth, even paid the extra on top of my tax refund to get...

I've been told by my doctor and an orthopedic surgeon I have early arthritis due to some wearing of the cartilage in my left hip. The surgeon mentioned some time down the road, probably years or decades, I may need to do a hip replacement. He also said supplements don't really have any medical...

I'm holding back trying to celebrate anything (until I handle over keys and get a check at closing), but we've passed all the hurdles, home inspection (still need a Heat/AC cleaning and service), lawyer's review, appraisal and buyer's loan approval. Market has been lousy in Chicago. The closing...

If anyone shops at Lowes, they're offering gift cards for min balance of $500 to $4000 (you can buy more cards too). On 3/18 they will apply an extra 10% bonus onto your card automatically. The nice thing about this is you can still use competitor offers or price matches to make your purchases...

I'm have 28k miles on my car and 2nd brake pad replacement on the rear pads. 1st replacement changed the both rear rotors (power brakes) because they got scored pretty good and Pep Boys refused to cut them at 12-14k miles, so I switched to ceramic pads. This car wears outside pads more than...

I'm not sure if you can access this w/o being a Fidelity customer. I've been trying to see how this tool works, but I keep getting an error that fails trying to enter step 4: Income Strategy. I've called my private access team, talked to the customer service/technical support twice now, it's...

The house I bought has an old hard wired alarm. The manual is dated 1989, it's an Ademco Vista 4130xm, 4140xm series. Either the motion detector or alarm panel is having issues. If I set it to "stay (motion sensor doesn't arm)", it decides on it's own to go to "away (motion sensor arms)"...

I saw this offer on one of the deal sites and thought if someone can use this, it's a great deal. All you need to do is buy CA Antivirus for 1 penny, then H&R Block At Home Deluxe is included for FREE. The only catch is you're automatically renewal after 6 months for the Antivirus software. To...

I've been the Independent Administrator (like Executor) of an estate for the last 3 years, it's been a long and nasty battle. After settling all kinds of allegations of wrongdoing, I was cleared and got through final accounting. Now, I just made the payouts (last 2 yesterday), I come to find an...

DW took out 98 Camry for an oil change at Midas. I normally do this, but she's getting paid, so I went along for the ride. We had them check the starter issues I've had over the past 2 weeks, single click when trying to start the car (this went aways after cleaning and lubing battery posts) and...

Since DW and I don't have any pensions, we decided to setup our own. We purchased this annuity from Fidelity back in 2001/2 with 500k and changed it to a no death benefit guarantee which reduced annual expenses to 1.15% in 2005. The current value is 767k. In hindsight, I'm wondering if this was...
