Hi I have a 7 month old niece, my brother and sis in law are looking into opening a savings account for her. They have an account at Chase but for some reason my brother hates Chase and they are looking for another bank. Any suggestions? They have opened a 529 already and i'm a contributor:dance:

thank you!

does anyone have this? we have paid off our condo and dh asked me to look into this. is it really necessary?

I'll be travelling with my mother in law soon to Florida, and i'm her health care proxy which was written up in NY. If we bring the form to Florida, will they honor it? Thanks

i think this is her goal

100+K No debt. She's not looking to invest, just get some interest and have somewhat access to it. thanks will check the brokerage

Hi all! My mom received a settlement check that is substantial. We are discussing options. She is afraid of any online banking. She may want to use this money to purchase a condo in 3 years or so. I'm leaning towards a CD. I'm also trying to encourage an online money market account but i'm not...

we enjoy eating out. maybe once a week. no fast food ever (it's not really food)

quick question, is it cow dairy or all dairy (i.e. goat milk, sheep's milk)? My dh has a very specific allergy to casein in cow's milk. He may eat goat milk and sheep milk cheese. Just wondering. Sorry to read your situation! i'm a vegetarian (ethically not for allergies) and often find it...

Well it's good to have objective folks with experience giving their honest opinions. I'd rather hear that than "oh yeah go on great idea" remarks! Great anecdote! I also take $200 to the casino to play with. Glad to hear i'm in good company :laugh:

thank you for this explanation. i think i'll also have a chat with my accountant along these lines, since there's a possibility i'm making a sizeable donation :laugh:

ok so to this point, why then do folks invest in small startups? is it that there's a possibility that once they go public your share values will go way up? the other poster commented that there's a chance the ipo could be at 50% of the purchase price and then its losses. i guess this is...

As a skeptical native NY'er, i'd be inclined to agree with you that someone was trying to sell me on this; however I merely went on their website and saw the investment opportunity and was looking into it. I figured folks on here have way more experience and knowledge than me. Seems I was...

yeah hmm:(

ok that's fair

good advice and questions. i have more reading to do. thanks

yes! Terracycle. I've been working on a recycling project with them for a while now and they are really making moves to keep plastics and even cigarette butts out of the waste stream and oceans.

ok

my question then would be if they did the ipo and i got bought out, is that a bad thing? I don't know the mechanics of such a transaction. definitely a passion project! and was hoping for some $ in the process but from what i'm reading here might be a pipe dream

thanks I will start reading up!
