We're pondering getting an RV. Just curious who has one and how they like it? It would mostly just be me and the DW and 4 dogs (15-30 lbs)...tooling around the south in small chunks. I also like that it would be living quarters when we lose power (instead of buying a whole house generator). We...

Hello, My mom passed away in late 2022 and I took a good sized distribution from her IRA that I inerited (I think I took 15%, since I'm not on SS yet). As I am looking at my 2023 tax calculations, I am wondering about exactly what is taxed on this money. I withheld 10% of the distribtion, but...

I am looking at an annuity from Lincoln insurance that is fixed 5.85% and 5 yr , minimum $100k (it has no fees) I read where Lincoln has a good rating for annuities. Is there an FDIC equivalent for insurance companies for something like this, if the insurance company went under?

I recently had some lessons at GolfTec, which was a good experience. To be able to see my limited shoulder and hip turn and then figure out what I needed to do to increase that was really helpful for my driving yardage and even control. I liked the instructor, she had me swing more inside out...

I am trying to insure appropriately based on some inheritance money, rental properties (2) and our auto policy. As I was setting up the umbrella policy I counted the following items as items I needed covering under this policy: - real estate (2 houses, one is a rental/duplex) - cash and...

I've seen a few posts on people who have had vitrectomy surgery (with membrane peel in my case). My surgery is a month out, and I read where there was 1 in 100 chance of retinal detachment. My left eye is 20-60 I think, but awfully blurry. Right eye is 20-30 and starting to get blurry. The...

I tried to search for this here as I am sure it's been answered many times, but my search skills are sub par... My mom died in December, a friend recommended I advise the three credit bureaus so as to protect our family. Any reason to hold off on doing this step (estate almost closed, house...

Bank question I am POA and executor of estate. I am also on my mother's bank account as a co-account holder (I think that is accurate). My mom died 10 days ago and I would like to clear out her lock box (I have the key). My concern is that I don't want to advise the bank she has passed away if...

I have a Ring camera in a couple of rooms at my mother's house to make sure she is ok (she's in her 90s but doing pretty well). In her bedroom is one of the cameras along with a tv that I turn on for her. I put it on local channels or use Roku and turn on her one or two preferred Netflix or...

I battle the yips every time I play. I can make a good clean swing at a 20 footer, but jab at anything inside 5 feet. When I remember to putt with my shoulders that seems to help. When I am handsy with putts I am in big trouble. I use the claw grip, which has helped some, but I still have some...

I've played golf for a long time and always messing with my swing (a lesson here and there along with way too much self-adjusting). I recently have been focusing on keeping my right elbow in on back swing, contact and follow through. I guess contact is where it really matters. I know some...

I went to the Optemetrist who ran a test that landed me at a retinal specialist who said that I would benefit from the following procedure on my left eye: vitrectomy with membrane peel 90% chance of success, with the level of success a bit of a question mark. Wondering if anyone has had this...

I called the gov 800 number to see if you can get aca subsidies if you have a company provided HRA account --- the lady had to escalate the question and said they would get with me within 7 days. Anyone know an answer to this? My HRA account had a balance on retirement that I used to pay cobra...

Checking to see if any CPAP users on here have been navigating the Phillips warning about there noise suppression foam in most of their cpap machines breaking down due to SoClean ozone cleaning? I am noticing that Phillips cpap inventory is very low and when I registered for a replacement, the...

I used to use MS Money and loved it - I didn't care about connecting to online accounts, I am good with downloading csv or whatever and balancing. With a new computer a while back, I had to go with Quicken, since MS Money went the way of the dinosaur. Quicken has an annual fee that insults my...

Does anyone here use Costco for home or auto insurance? Just wondering if the price and experience were good. We've had Allstate for sometime and feel sure that we would be renewed no problem if we had a big claim (we've had no claims on two homes and two cars for 10 years)... but I also feel...

I need guidance. My mother no longer drives due to age. She has two cars, one an old volvo that sits under a carport covering that I disconnected the battery on. The other car is an old toyota camry, that we use when family is in town...so it sits for months at a time without being run. I need...

We have a neighbor who two years ago started a neighborhood project to dead end a street in a very large neighborhood with a lot of parallel streets that she also hopes to eventually dead end. She worked in local government and knows the ins and outs of the processes. She is a millenial who has...

we are 62 and 57, so not close to RMD considerations, but we were nevertheless discussing...questions that came up 1. any strategies related to planning for RMD? (like I know that it is good to pull from roth as a last option) 2. are traditional vs roth vs 401k handled differently regarding...

I've used the same ping irons for 35 years (added some Adams hybrids - 2 through 5 12 years ago -- wondering if anyone has had golf clubs fitted and if it helped...and if so, how? I love the ping irons, but I really haven't tried other clubs and suspect I am missing out on technology...
