RockyMtn- Got it, jst saw the last piece of your post THANK YOU!!!

Thank you very much RockyMtn. I did this however only see the results at the total account level. Is there a way to look at the performance of my individual holdings ( indiv stocks, mutual funds and etf's?) thanks again!

Hello, and Happy Holidays We are considering a move out of state in the future ( 1-2 years). One sincere concern is health insurance for the younger of the two of us. I am 55 and purchase my health insurance through the ACA or Obamacare website. As I " shop" other states for healthcare, I see...

hello can anyone recommend an online calculator that will show me what my annual percentage return is for each of my holdings inc dividends where applicable. I am looking for something that includes, individual stocks, ETF's and Mutual Funds. I use Schwab to manage my accounts, however do not...

Does anyone know if Pennsylvania has any type of a similar law? Sent from my iPad using Early Retirement Forum

Hi RobbieB Thanks for the info. Did you experience any damage? I am specifically worried about rocks, road debris etc with an open carrier? Thx

Anyone have any first hand experience " shipping" a car from east to west? Our BMW is almost new, and in mint condition. Anyone have an idea on the best way to get the car to the west coast, I have done some research and am thinking " covered " car carrier is the way to go? We also have a Honda...

Thank you everyone! I had not thought about buying the insurance direct from the insurance co, OR a broker. We will not qualify for a subsidy, so this may be the best option, and hopefully will have wider acceptance-

User5027 Any idea who you will go with in 2017 with Aetna pulling out?

Great imput - thanks Rodi. Yes, if we go the PA route, it will be PA for sure, not NJ. Besides the delta in heathcare costs, property taxes and the savings on state tax relating to 401k distributions make PA the more desirable choice. Thanks again for the heads up.

Thanks MichaelB We are specifically looking in Bucks County PA, possible Montgomery County PA, both suburbs of Phila.

yes, that is correct Exflyboy5. Health insurance access to good medical doctors and hospitals is our number 1 concern in a relo.

Yes, however without " knowing" any doctors or physician groups it is hard to know who are the more desirable ones. We are researching physicians now, but it is somewhat a crap shoot.

Yes! We are considering two states, PA and CA. The feedback was so helpful on CA we were hoping to find similar feedback on PA. PA as you likely know, is on the " heathcare.gov" federal exchange, vs a state exchange. Healthcare is such a huge cost, we are trying to get some " first hand"...

My spouse and I currently are retired ( 63 and 54) and are considering a relo to Bucks County PA area ( Doylestown, New Hope or Newtown), We currently live in Massachusetts where we have purchased our health insurance on the Obamacare website for Ma ( Massachusetts Health Connector) for the past...

Thank you to everyone for your thoughtful replies. At the very least, it sounds like it is far less certain in California that most any doctor or hospital will accept Covered Ca plans, although there certainly seems to be a wide variety that do. I guess the real test and challenge is that...

Thank you both so much for your thoughtful, personal replies. Litgal, I am so sorry for your loss. When I hear stories like these, they serve to validate some of the reservations I have about moving to Ca. I recently investigated insurances ( auto, homeowners, umbrella etc. In speaking with the...

Anyone heard anything regarding 2017 Obamacare rates in Massachusetts? Sent from my iPad using Early Retirement Forum

Doctors in Southern California not accepting " Covered California" plans, even PPO's My spouse and I currently are retired ( 63 and 54) and are considering a relo to Orange County Ca, for both family and weather reasons. We currently live in Massachusetts where we have purchased our health...

Hi everyone- We currently live in Massachusetts, where Obama care " type" insurance has been available for 10 years now. We early retired 3 years ago ( we are now 54 and 63), and purchase our insurance through the " Health Connector" ( the MA exchange). We have a plan with a $1750 ded each and a...

Thank you, Eastwest Gal, and DFW M5 With all of the positive feedback and suggestions , I am feeling more confident! I think the only " uncontrollable " I can think of, is that we do not have long term care insurance. Just never have been a fan of it, given the very high costs vs the...

WOW, I can not thank you all enough! Great forum. I hope to be able to add value to others questions as well as I get familiar with the site, and further settle into retirement! Mrloco- I like the suggestion to bump equities to 50%. While I am somewhat risk adverse, I know our equity position is...

REWahoo, I have. The tab/ section I have most trouble with is " your portfolio" When I use consistent market growth of 3%, fixed income returns of 3% and inflation 3%, I get a 95% success rate at 110K spending. If I use the monte carlo scenario, Using a random mean return of 4%, 10%...
