Was browsing my bill at xfinity.com after the BS fees went up again, and got a notice that I might be eligible for the ACP - Affordable Connectivity Program. This is a $30 monthly subsidy that started at beginning of this year and replaced the old Emergency Broadband Benefit (for folks impacted...

The DW and I are going down to Melbourne, FL at the end of the month and as part of the trip are going to look at houses in Viera, specifically new construction options in the Bridgewater community. I know that the typical process is to get a construction loan with the builder paid in...

So our state just got a waiver grant which, among other things, will block access to healthcare.gov and instead redirect us directly to providers, brokers, etc. They're not going to create a new state exchange...

Stole this post from Slickdeals, this is a GREAT deal for millions of folks. Note this is the AGI figure, includes all common schedules and both fed and state e-file via H&R Block. I'm sure this is a repost since it's been around for years, view this as a reminder. www.myfreetaxes.com

Wow, got a letter from Ambetter yesterday and they are giving back 5.40% of the policy premiums because they undercut the 80% spend minimum for claims. This is the first year I've seen a rebate, we've had ACA since 2015 with Humana, Blue Cross and now Ambetter. The rebate amount for our Silver...

I had added all my Vanguard accounts as outside accounts on Fidelity.com and they showed up in the portfolio summary (left side of home screen) and in my portfolio balances. I used to use Yodlee for this until they stopped fixing stuff on their Labs site, so Fidelity has been my aggregator for...

Saw this on Slickdeals, the CK founder is participating in the thread as well. Nice alternative and I applaud the effort to get away from paid tax filing especially with the crap that Intuit tried to pull a couple of years ago. If you read through, the founder says they bought an established...

Uh oh, we might be moving to Harken or someone else sooner than I thought. I'm sure their pending merger with Aetna has something to do with this, but it's not a sign of a healthy market when coupled with the crazy rate increases we've seen so far. Still early though. Change is in the works...

So this is a new provider that just started selling health insurance on the exchange here in GA, and they've recently opened new clinics. The interesting thing about their offer is that all visits to their clinics are no extra cost, but I don't know exactly what that means; i.e. is it just...

Yes I know the title looks like something pitched by a telemarketer, but this is a relatively easy way to make a grand or so a year with short-term money. For you and the spouse/SO, open up 2 of these prepaid cards: https://www.mangomoney.com/ https://www.myunionprepaid.com/ Then open the...

Hi, I've been lurking here for a little over a year now, posted a few times but nothing substantial. Been humming along in life saving as much as we can, was planning on leaving Megacorp next year at age 52 but they recently announced a buyout with half a years severance pay (around $50k gross...
