    Update Trust

    Hubby and I paid to have a trust established last year. We want to make a change to our distribution percentages. I emailed the attorney who created the trust, he said he'd get the changes made, cost would be $150, I agreed to the fee and didn't hear anymore. A month later I sent another...

    Turbo Question

    I thought my Turbo Tax was filled out correctly, but the summary shows my Federal IRA withdrawals and pension dollar amounts are switched. I went back and rechecked, I just don't see my error. Can anyone advise me how to correct?

    Medicare Wellness Billing

    My husband went to the doctor back in May. He's been billed for an office visit and a Medicare wellness appointment. Medicare and supplemental paid for the office visit and denied the wellness. Now we're billed $290 for the denied claim. Do we have any recourse? I have not called the the...

    Sale of House

    There doesn't seem to be any problems with the buyer's finances. They are putting 40% down on their loan to finance the house at a sale price of $350K. And they are providing proof they have the $47K to pay us. They are only trying to keep the real estate taxes from taking a future hit. My...

    Sale of House

    We've lived in the Illinois home for 21 years, it's been paid for since 2009. The market is good now and we're getting more than we could have a year ago. We're getting $397K total, buyer wants the contract sale for $350K and will give us $47K extra on the side. That supposedly covers all new...

    Sale of House

    We own a winter home in Arizona and recently put our Illinois home up for sale to move full time to AZ. We've been presented with an acceptable offer but the buyers want to purchase the home at one price and give us about $50K separate for items that were included in the house listing. Their...

    We own a house in an Arizona Dell Webb 55+, all homes here are designed like this. Never a problem for us. And the toilets have their own little room, seemed weird at first, now we like it.

    Noritake China

    I had service for 12 of the Noritake Savannah pattern from a 1971 wedding. Serving bowls, platters, the whole mess. Only used a handful of times. I lucked out getting $125 for it because someone had just bought a china cabinet and wanted to put something in it. I had service for 12 Christmas...

    Stimulus $600

    My grandson, age 19, did not apply for the first stimulus check or file any taxes. He went to welding and pipefitting school in 2019 after graduating high school. His parents told him since he didn't file or pay any taxes that he wasn't entitiled to the $1200. I think otherwise, told the...

    New Shingrx Shingles Vaccine

    I checked Good RX and it looks like we can get the vaccine medication for $155 each at Costco, but I believe there is a charge for the injection. Does anyone know what that cost is?

    Robotic vacuums

    We bought a new Samsung stove at Best Buy a couple years ago, a Samsung vacuum robot was free with stove purchase. With being a freebie, I'm sure it's not high end, but I'm amazed at what it picks up. Of course we named it Sam and talk to it.

    3rd New Knee

    I had both knees replaced four years ago. The left knee started having pain and swelling earlier this year. My ortho surgeon could not find the cause and sent me to another specialist. He immediately saw cement failure securing the implant to the bone. I don’t know why the first dr didn’t see...

    How to Strip "Sealed" Concrete Garage Floor for Epoxy Shield

    We stripped our outbuilding floor. Had it built in 2000, 40x60, about 3/4 of it is shop with sealed concrete. Quite the job, did each area about 4x6, spread the stripper, waited, scrape, then mopped many times changing the water often. It's doable, just takes time, can't be rushed. Finished...

    Can I Avoid Capital Gains on Sale of Second Home?

    We bought a winter home in 2017 for $185K. Last spring we sold that home for $227K and purchased another for $371K. At the closing of first home we were given a 1099S for capital gains. Are we going to have to pay capital gains since we used the profits on that house to purchase another...

    New Shingrx Shingles Vaccine

    What is the cost for the shot now? Seems like when the double shot came out, cost was around $600 for the two. I'm hoping the cost has come down since I don't have insurance coverage for it. I'm approaching the 5th year for the 'old' shot. Does the cost vary between pharmacies?

    Do you prepare your own tax return?

    Since we sold the rentals a few years back I've been using TT. But I'll probably have to have them done this next spring. We sold our out of state winter home and bought another in the same area. Not sure how to go about that.

    Medicare Supplements

    I'm on plan G. If you plan to travel much or become a snowbird, stay away from the Advantage plans. This was the advice from my insurance agent.

    Do you get called “honey” or “sweetie” by strangers?

    Years ago, back in my 40s, a salesman called me sweetie. He didn't get the siding job I was looking for. He also had a pink shirt on. I don't like pink on men.

    Needing Insurance Info for E&O

    Thanks for everyone's advice and opinions. We haven't dismissed the idea we may need a lawyer before this is over. We don't have an umbrella policy and the underinsured part of our insurance was gone when we dropped the collision coverage. I like the idea of calling the state insurance...
