very helpful thanks

I am moving 500 miles and the biggest truck is a 53 footer. 2 days of packing and 2 days of unloading. Tons of stuff mostly already boxed Total cost of full truck is $18K. (got 3 bids). So a big move. My employer has paid most of my past moves but this is my last...on me..

I am using an Allied mover 5 day process 53 ft truck 6 people. Right now thinking $100 per mover if all goes well and the same people stay on the job. Dont want to be foolish in $ but realistic in expectation. White glove move. 5K square foot house 500 miles

thanks RetiredHappy....seems low?

Moving 500 miles 53 ft trailer 6 people. What is an appropriate tip for the labor. Plan to tip once safely moved.

This is such a personal decision. DW and I have said for years after several moves "we want to downsize" but never seem to like smaller is better. We just sold our 5000 sq ft home to a nice couple (he 80 she 68). We then bought a $7K sq ft home (so much for downsizing), We live 1 miles from 5...

Just purchased a new home for $1.4M in cash. I need about $300K cash to fix it up. Planning to sell my existing house for a similar amount (so essentially just needed a bridge loan for fix up) I was about to sell some stocks then realized I was in the 37% tax bracket. Contacted a loan broker...

DW and I spend on remodeling houses we live in. In 2014 bought our forever home for $1.1M. Remodeled extensively thru Covid and 2 years ago sold it for $3M (recouped the expenses).Purchased the next forever home for $1.5M and just finished remodeling again. Plan to sell this one soon and...

Just got one yesterday actually a 2 pac from amazon. seems easy to use and I hung it in the pantry. Just pull the flaps on the bottom. I hope I never use it but it gave me a calm of mind. Also said to cover your head with it if you are having to escape a house fire. I doubt id ever have the mind...

OP, I am on this drug made by Eli Lilly. Ive lost 40 lbs in a few months and feel great. My doc gave me a script and it cost me about $500 for 4 shots ( 1 per week). For 3 months I took it and hit my target loss then scaled back. I now take 1 shot once a month and held the weight off so far...

If you can live off 1) your remaining stash then 2) its your forever home 3) you are handy then I see no problem. Personally I send up on the house and have no mortgage and have enough investments to keep me at 100% success. I am in the process of buying that house to be very near my kids which...

OP, I read your initial post and favored telling you to take the partnership and commit to the 10 years but leave anytime you felt was time. But, after reading further I saw a similar pattern to what I actually did. Like you I was in the money/finance game with a MC. Actually sat on the...

Kola, fist I agree with u and if u already know then u know. I'd pass on the test. And, my hope is that u fight and beat the cancer. Stay strong and do everything u can to beat back the issue. Best wishes for a healthy future.

I did and just got the results back yesterday, It is a No Cancer detected/or detected signal. My doctor recommended it along with his physical and blood test. Cost $750. Glad I did it but waiting for 2 weeks after blood draw was an anxious period. I'll definitely do this annually and if there...

+1 did it today.

now that sounds like fun!!

guess I need to list my clubs in the prenup!!

Good outcome. Glad you stayed with it. Ive noticed about a third of our member golfers are lefties. Also noticed people are super helpful and encouraging getting you going. DW and I have dear friends who moved to Palm Desert and just shared that they are now playing golf. I was surprised because...

exactly my plan. Hope I can follow your dads example

great story and advice. We now live in a community with 7 courses within a cart ride away ( don't have a reason not to play). Most of my time is on the range daily working out the bad habits. Anyone interested in sharing their handicap. I am so new to this sport that I don't have a validated...

that inspires me.....thank you

OMG I loved that and feel the same way!!

All good advice. I play pickle also and thats DW favorite and maybe 1 day a week. My pickle coach is $25 hour but my golf coach (supposedly one of the best in the county) is $150 per hour. Given that cost I am now hitting the range solo! Y'all are so right, it's just for fun and I am trying not...

I am 67 and DW is 61. For many years we avoided golf as it was too time consuming. So, after retirement one of my regrets was not playing golf with my two children (who love golf). Knowing I might keep saying no, we joined a club, bought a cart, got all the new equipment, and hired a coach...
