    Inherited IRAs and QCDs

    Thank you for sharing. DW begins her RMD next year but inherited an IRA last month. The deceased had not taken her required RMD for 2022 so the obligation becomes ours. While we had intended to do a QCD for DW next year it had not occurred to me that we could do a QCD this year on the...

    Pet Meds—lowest cost Revolution?

    worldpetexpress.net Selamectin (ingredient in Revolution) marketed under the brand name of Stronghold and less expensive than Revolution. Same stuff. No prescription required as it comes from either Canada or a European country. I also use it on semi-ferals since a vet visit would require...

    Poll:Telephone Landline - do you still have one

    An oddity in Amazon CC charges

    My hunch is that the items came initially from different suppliers even though they were shipped to you in one box. Unsure why that would matter unless it is an internal method of tracking the chargeback.

    Travel bucket list - top 5?

    If your definition of enjoying nature includes hiking I would suggest a few classics that are very doable at your age. The Camino de Santiago can be as short or as long as you wish and can be lightened with luggage transfers if you only care to wear a day pack. I just finished Hadrian's Wall...

    Anyone got any travel planned?

    Leaving in 3 weeks to walk Hadrian's Wall, east to west. My high school latin classes instilled a life long curiosity about all things Roman. Used Mickledore to make B&B reservations and move a bag between B&Bs so that I can get by with a small daypack. The B&Bs will also pack a lunch each...

    National Parks May NOT Be Open This Year

    A misleading subject line which I suppose is to get visitors to read the post. Nowhere in the NPS quote does it say that parks may be closed.

    Make sure you keep your credit locked

    It's been my experience that you can specify a window (say, 7 days) during which your credit will be unfrozen and then automatically refrozen.

    Hiring a new accountant and 72t

    Although a good argument can be made for hiring a professional, doing a 72t is not really that difficult. I did my own SEPP calc and asked my sis, a CPA, to bless it. She found no problems. A good website for guidance is: 72t on the Net | SEPP, 72t, and 72q Distributions | IRC Section 72(t)

    Minimally invasive surgery

    "Minimally invasive surgery" is a general term that can be interpreted differently depending on just what they intend to do. While I haven't had minimally invasive surgery on my back, I did have both hips replaced using minimally invasive surgery. The surgeon (in Cincinnati) used computers and...
