Afternoon. I am a retired federal Dept of Army civilian since 2014. As I approach age 65, I will need to switch to Medicare as my primary insurance and then use one of our retirement plans as secondary insurance. I received a Medicare Card in the mail, it said to start 1 March 2023. My...

We have an IP and a Slow Cooker. Have not used the IP as a slow cooker. Interesting reviews on using an IP as a slow cooker. One word of advice. The Slow Cooker is our second one. The first one we used for over 25 years with no problem. But eventually had to replace. The one thing I...

So would this mean setting up a DAF with Vanguard now? How do we ensure ability to properly keep it funded? Was thinking using our Wellesley account and use it's account payback to keep the charity fund going.

this is for after we pass. I want to make things as easy as possible for my spouse and this would be one less item she needs to deal with. It's a children's cancer research center and we want to keep giving even after we pass.

Morning. We would like to set up contributions to our favorite charities to continue after we pass on. We have most of our investments (IRAs, investments) at Vanguard. Has anyone set up a continuing charity contribution fund with Vanguard and if so, how best to do it. Thanks

A Roth IRA is a great asset building tool. Our kids have had Roth IRAs since their early teens, all funded from funds we gave to them (covered by their own income production), They are now in their 30s, with a real good financial base. Suggest doing a Vanguard long term no fee account and...

This is a great financial lesson - thanks. We started our kid's Roth IRAs when they started baby sitting and snow shoveling and any other forms of business. We matched their Roth input and they saved that for college. Now in their 30s they will both be millionaires in a few years. Great...

Thanks for info. Just updated my iPhone settings.

Wyze cameras. Bought one from HD, tested/tried it out, liked it, bought a few more. Bought their doorbell camera from their website. Have free 12 sec video clips stored for free in case needed. Cameras send me alerts as needed. I like them. Suggest hit HD, but one, check out capabilities.

Totally agree about Costco. Have mine for three years, great technology, excellent prices, and great service. About time we made hearing aids more affordable.

While I am fiscally conservative, during my volunteer time I have seen how important Medicare is to our seniors. You would think that seeing clearly, hearing clearly, and good dental health would be part of the Medicare package. Quality of life should be maintained for seniors.

Morning All - We are in the process of updating our wills. Basically we are pretty simple couple - 401ks, traditional and Roth IRAs, own home, no debt (maybe a car loan in the future). To save money looking to use Legalzoom.com. From what I can see for basic wills it is ok. One question I...

Definitely try out Costco if you can. I have a pair of KS9's and they are great. The KS10's are now available at $1399 a pair. If can't use Costco suggest TruHearing (TruHearing.com) - great prices too. Wherever you go make sure they have a trial period with full refund, Costco probable has...

Hope feeling better. Have thoughts on different means other than flomax for BPH?

What's the "green light" procedure? What happened with the original urolift. Many thanks.

Have been a hearing aid wearer for 40 plus years. I say this whole heartedly - don't skimp on the cost. Somethings you get what you paid for, HAs are one. I have been very pleased with my Costco's KS9 - I think $1600 a pair. Digital, bluetooth. The staff is great. You can try and decide...

I was a regular donor every 8 weeks for 40 years until I was deferred cause of low iron level. Dr put me on iron supplements for 3 months and all came back. But now I am reluctant about giving blood again. 40 years was a lot of pints. Maybe time to let others? or maybe give one more try...

Me too the Equate Men's 50+ - saves me money, gets me the senior vitamin stuff. Supplement with D3, want good D3 levels with COVID hanging around.

What I came here today was to ask if anyone using an iPhone XR on consumer cellular and are they satisfied. Our two year Verizon agreement ends, phones are paid off, so looking around for new carrier Thanks

very helpful, I turned my iMessage switch off. Thanks

I'm all for simplifying our finances. If I could I would put all credit cards and Verizon and Medicare on auto payments. DW does all the bill paying and is leery, loss of control she says. From what I see you have control by way of email notification of upcoming debits or charges. Was wondering...
