We are in our early 50's and looking for a travel group for tours in Europe and wherever. We like the flexibility of exploring on our own. Any thoughts on travel/tour groups. We would like to be with other like minded couples. My husband is semi-retired and being our age, most traveling couples...

I forgot to make a car reservation for our visit to Chicago tomorrow. Guess what-everyone is sold out except for a van rental company. Amex Plat Concierge saved the trip. I called them and they made us a reservation for the car we wanted at a reasonable rate. And I didn't even wait on hold. So...

It's my understanding that it's best to rollover a 401k to a personal ira when a spouse dies. And if that spouse was 10 years older than you, skip the inherited ira. Can anyone confirm this?

I need help .....so I can help my best friend. 1. He was 57, not drawing a pension (still was working) yet but has one. Will she get any of this? 2. Most of the bank accounts are in his name only. What can she do to pay the bills until the estate is settled? Will the other banks release funds...

If our income is to high to make it tax deductible? Wouldn't it be better to just put it a regular index fund where it's accessible? (Retired but husband still works to stash up a little more cash.)

I just heard about them. It's run as a nonprofit and they give you a mobile hotspot for internet. No throttling and no limits. $250 the first year and 168 the second year since you don't need the hotspot again. It runs off the sprint network. 4gcommunity found out about them in the comments on...

Here's what they are telling him about a profit sharing account they need to open for him...it's sounds sketchy. It's from his old employer that he left 2 weeks ago. The firm name is Jackson Financial Management. I received your forms…thank you. I am, however, re-sending the Client Data Form...

Do you own two homes? Do you have a car both places? Friends in both places? This is all new to me as I live in CA. I like the concept but I'm wondering how you would maintain friendships and 2 lives. Do your friends get jealous that you go somewhere else? I would love to hear how this all...

I've become more aware of this lately because my mother-in-law and her husband did not prepare well for retirement. They spent almost everything and "retired" early by taking early SS and getting a reverse mortgage. He has passed now and she is living off social security but she will not have...

We are 52 and financially independent and debt free. My husband will work for a few more years at his second act, to pile up some more cash. (We have expensive tastes.) We currently have a COLA'd pension from the first career. We are able to live comfortably off of 70% of the value. So going...

My husband is still working as we pile up more of a cash buffer. Would it be good to have a HELOC in place as a back-up? Does this need to be done before he stops working?
