Unvested options I read the fine print in my options agreement. Once you give notice, your unvested ones can be withdrawn even if you are still working.

BugZooka - it can quickly suck up the ones that make it inside. Plus it is very satisfying.

Another option is Google Home mini. You can get one for about $30 and then say "call xyz" where xyz is one of your contacts - the microphone has a range of about 30 feet. You only have the one time cost plus you get all the features of a smart speaker.

I sold/bought for my current house. I bought/sold for my prior house. I would never sell/buy again for the following reasons: - the market was hot. It took forever to find a house we liked. My daughter bought a house in Denver a year ago - almost every house had multiple offers, etc. Unless...

Share your FIRE Milestones Milestone: my 20 year term life insurance just hit year 21 and the rate skyrocketed. So I canceled it as I don’t need it anymore! I hope it is not like an appliance warranty where the appliance dies right after the warranty expires.

I believe the iPad 9.7 inch is $70 cheaper at Costco or Best Buy - although Apple should match that if you ask.

If your DH is in poor health, do you want to wait till 70 for SS? Can you do spousal benefit?

If you are a Comcast subscriber and don’t use much data, you can get a plan from xfinity mobile for $12 per gb. Uses Verizon towers. I switched my MIL when we switched from a 10 gb Verizon plan to a $40 per line Verizon unlimited plan ( kids were blowing through the data ). So far it has been...

How hard is it to make money from being a artist photographer? Maybe members who have tried can post their experience?

Does the iPad app have ignore capabilities? I can’t seem to find the thread tools equivalent and existing ignore settings do not seem to apply when viewing in the iPad app.

I don’t believe the payroll tax holiday had any impact. The lost revenue was reimbursed from general revenues. https://www.nasi.org/research/2012/implications-payroll-tax-holiday-social-security

I also recommend an iPad. I use my windows laptop maybe once a month. U can get one from staples for $300 when they have a sale. The battery life, the portability, the ability to have it at the right distance so I don’t have to wear glasses are all reasons I prefer it over a laptop. It fits on...

What is the cost for cobra? A HSA type plan may be reasonable and better than aca.

Have you checked the policy or with the agent to make sure it pays nothing if you are not working? What if you were “looking for a new job”? Just curious as I will probably in the same boat in a couple of years.

I found the NH real estate monthly data at http://www.nhar.org/ to be very interesting. The % paying list price and the declining days on the market is amazing.

NH does also have a 5% tax on interest and dividends with some exclusions for tax free NH bonds and US securities plus a deductible. No income tax is great if you are working making the big bucks, but not so great if you are retired. There is no tax on short or long term capital gains.

Google “TripAdvisor.com NH attractions” and look for the 15 best things to do result. You can also look for attractions at the town level. You definitely want to go to the white mountains in NH and Acadia in ME.

Google maps has a “leave at time/date” feature - it is marginally useful when I have tried it.

Watch out for mobile hotspot speeds When moving from a plan with data limits to an "unlimited" plan, make sure you understand that the mobile hotspot speed on the unlimited plan is restricted to 3g speed (Tmobile) or 600kps (Verizon). That is painfully slow if you are used to 4g LTE. So if you...

For choice B, how are you going to ensure you actually save more money? It is much easier to skip putting money away vs skipping a mortgage payment.

No more white knuckles when 18 wheelers blow by you - priceless

Unfortunately, the USPS can not be run totally like a normal business since Congress controls many aspects. When USPS tried to eliminate Saturday delivery in 2013, it was rejected by Congress.

Buy new house first, then sell the old house. I did it the other way. You won't be able to find a new house you like, you will end up in an apartment, you will move twice, you will pay for storage, you will pay rent while your old house money is just sitting in a short term account...
