I believe that my wife & I have been single handedly stimulating the economy. I purchased a used 2019 Tahoe a couple of months back to replace my old Tahoe that has over 300k miles on it. We are also doing a number of DIY home upgrades throughout our home starting with painting the entire...

I thought I would give an update on our Class of 2019 retirement. We did a fair amount of travelling immediately after retiring with several trips originally planned for this year as well. As with most people our travel plans evaporated this year but we chose to use the down time to work on our...

We had hit our numbers in 2018 but the positions similar to mine at Megacorp were being outsourced so I held on until mid 2019 when I received a relatively sweet severance package. We were able to get some traveling in before the Corona situation but we cancelled 4 trips this spring and early...

I suppose I need to be added to the Class of 2019 as well. I lost my job with Mega Corp in June 2019 and took some time off. Fortunately our financial position has allowed me the flexibility to make the decision that I am not going to return to work. I have throughly enjoyed these last 7...

Yes I had take same perk. That was and still is about it. I chose the wrong profession and/or company.

I have recently seen a automotive tire store that rents tires. That is a new one on me.

Amica - 40+ years. My father has been with them for 50 years. Fantastic service. Probably not the cheapest.

We are having more luck buying and selling items using Facebook garage sale sites. I had a television listed on Craigslist for over a month and was only getting lowball offers. Put it on a garage sale site and sold it for full price the same day. Awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Early...

I updated my Fidelity RIP information recently. I loaded the data with scenarios where I took SS at 62, 67 and 70. My score moved up 7 points when I changed from SS draw date from 67 to 62. I certainly did not expect that. I would have thought delaying SS would be the best choice to grow your...

2003 Chevrolet Tahoe - 259,000 and counting. 2 motorcycles for playtime... Sent from my iPhone using Early Retirement Forum

I had been getting 850's then opened a new cc account. Knocked it down 10 points. Sent from my iPhone using Early Retirement Forum

From personal experience I believe I would stick with the original mortgage and pay extra each month. It gives you financial flexibility that you may need in a pinch if needed. We refinanced to a 10 year note biweekly payments as my wife and I were both working good jobs and the payment was...

I requested 100 in two accounts at Fido. I have only been able to successfully get the lame IPO's from Fido. I probably do not have enough assets at Fido to get allocations for the popular IPO's. In 98, 99, 00 I had a good network to get IPO's but that has long ended. I suspect we are near the...

I put in an IOI at Fido but did not get an allocation. No big surprise there. Sent from my iPhone using Early Retirement Forum

I know that insurance is only subsidized by mega corp for myself. Not my dependents. You might want to double check.
