    ACA: one family, two exchanges. Been there?

    We live in VA but my youngest D is off to college in MA this fall. Since we live in VA now, we use the federal exchange. When she heads to MA, I’ll enroll her in the MA exchange and simultaneously remover her from coverage in VA. My question: do the premium tax credits flow to both exchanges...

    Any New Years resolutions?

    2017, my first year of FIRE life, has been so fulfilling. This year: I learned how to blow glass, I travelled to Amsterdam, LA with my daughter, Montreal, Cape Cod for our 25th anniversary, and most notably to Rwanda to drill a water well.

    This question has been discussed many times but, as I am ERing in less than 2 months and starting ACA on March 1, it's a question I'd like to figure out.

    Hey y'all! So I'm one year out from early retirement. I'm 52, wife 49. College expenses for our 2 daughters are set and not included in the below assets. Asset allocation is an aggressive 85/15 but looking for 70/30 (with 1 year expenses in savings) this time next year. Here's my current setup...

    Inexpensive Mediterranean climate for retirement?

    Hi, I'm brand new to E-R. We'll be empty nesters in 2018 and anticipate retiring, downsizing and moving from our home in Virginia sometime after then. I'm originally from Sonoma County and desperately miss my dry CA summers without mosquitos, chiggers or AC. As much as I'd love to move back...
