https://news.delta.com/ces2023/delta-introduces-fast-free-onboard-wi-fi Delta will be offering free WiFi on all domestic flights starting February 1st. It’s “real” internet too, allowing streaming video. I was on a Delta flight Saturday and they had it up and working and it was already free...

With so many travel issues coming up recently I wanted to share a good experience I had this past weekend. I sometimes rent a car from Sixt - mainly because they offer nice German cars I enjoy driving. So on my weekend trip to see out new the grandchild in the Bay Area I rented a car from them...

We’ve been Amazon prime members for a long time. As best as I can remember, it’s always auto-renewed each year. This year there was a message that it would auto renew again. Then a couple of days ago, we sat down to watch a show on Prime Video and it said I needed to subscribe to prime...

Starting a new thread so as not to hijack the other one.. How does the Turboxtax application compare with the web version? I've been using a CPA for taxes for a long time and since life is getting a little bit simpler I used the Turbotax website last year. Seemed to work well. What are the...

I see mention of "using my receipts when I get money out of my HSA". I realize that the receipts are the proof that you spent money on valid medical expenses back in 2011 (or whenever). I keep all my receipts for later reimbursement too. My question though is has anyone actually done this. And...

I’ve noticed recently that the forum logs me out all the time. It used to only happen on occasion, but now I’m logging in many times a day. Did something change recently?

Last night another of our smoke detectors started it's battery-needs-replacing beeping at 2AM. It was especially fun since I accidentally pulled down one of two smoke detectors that is tied into our alarm system (it wasn't the unit beeping, but 2AM...) so it set off the house alarm and our...

My DF recently gave me a old gold pocket watch that he had from his great great grandfather. It's from roughly the mid-1800's (between 1861 and 1871). I'd like like to get it fixed up - the crystal is broken, and I'm hesitant to even wind it up. It was made by E Howard & Co. So I'm looking for...

Given the mention of the "horse race method" of ROTH conversions I was pondering a related scheme: 1. Convert the amount I want to convert this year early in the year. 2. IF the market declines (say by more than a few percent), do another conversion. Later recharacterize old conversion back to...

Now that our Costco AmEx is history, I got to thinking... We used to have an AmEx, which we used a lot, but also kept a Visa as a backup in case AmEx wasn't accepted - this happened on occasion. We also had a MasterCard. Now I look at what we have: primary card (Costco) Visa, the BofA Travel...

WiFI calling on the iPhone (6 or better) has been available from ATT for a while (also T-Mobile and recently Verizon). But with iOS 9.3, which came out yesterday, ATT has a new feature that I though might be of interest to a few folks here: When you have WiFi calling enabled, you can now call...

Something I recently learned: not only can you (obviously) change your password at any time, but most places allow you to change your account name too. It's not a bad idea to do so every now and again. Also, if you reuse account names, you might want to change that up so that if one site is...

Over 100 years ago in America — before Social Security, before IRAs, corporate pensions and 401(k)s — there was a ludicrously popular (and somewhat sleazy) retirement scheme called the tontine. I'd never heard of this. Interesting.

I'm about to help out my DM with a the purchase of a coop (condo). I'm looking for any suggestions or things to watch out for. The details: she moved to Fort Lauderdale last summer and rented a condo for a year to "test drive" living in Florida and see if she could handle the summers. Seems...

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/21/business/wealth-taxes-a-future-battleground.html IF you’d like to know where American political debates are headed, the data suggest a simple answer. The next major struggle — in economic terms at least — will be over whether taxes on personal wealth should...
