I had a friend who lasted 10 months (about 50 years old), he chose to try to fight it even though they said it was unlikely to do anything but extend his life 1-2 years. It was a miserable 10 months. His brother pays to have his body scanned every 2 years, don’t know if that could catch it in time.

The current tax brackets end in 2025, and will go up in 2026 assuming congress doesn’t do something about it.

I saw this and meant to research it, I was hoping tax free inherited IRAs was a result of recent tax changes.

I would think this is a bad idea, IRS gets copies of our 1099s and if there’s a mismatch it might flag the return. I have to wait anyway, VG doesn’t put out taxable accounts IRS forms till February.

Yes, I definitely qualify, I just chose to not take it, so I didn’t have to have taxes withheld on my IRA withdrawals. And the 1095A should always be generated, they can’t know my financial situation.

I did not, but the second lowest plan should be filled in?

My SLCSP and monthly advance payments columns are all zeros, anyone else seeing this? They sent me a notice that the form is available, this is in Florida if that makes a difference.

My 2023 prediction was looking good till Powell decided to goose the market. The presidential election will throw a lot of uncertainty into this market, as well as the results. I’m going to assume there will be some negativity at the end of the year. So given that, 4999.

His podcast is going to be titled “The Fed chairman is your friend”. The last 2 weeks has been due to Powells comments.

You can put a charity on your account(s) as the beneficiary, easy to do, and of course being dead you don’t worry about running out of money anymore.

It’s different this time, the problem is we’re going to pay much more interest on our debt. The era of free money has passed. At some point it will start to become a runaway scenario, whether that happens in 2025, or 2035 who knows...

Off by less than 15, I need to go on CNBC. :-)

If the insurance company gave me grief, I’d post it all over the internet.

I don’t have that problem.

Do you really need a safe, do you expect someone would try to falsify it? Does your executor know the combination? And years from now, will they remember it?

Do you need every molar, I be tempted just pull it and be done with it? A crown has to be $2000-$3000 these days?

Anyone use the Vanguard IOS app? For some functions it just goes to the website(tax forms, etc), but now it doesn’t work?

We rented the Lightning… The weird thing is if you lift the accelerator pedal it brakes? The advertised mileage you get is exaggerated, probably because the AC/heat is not considered. I need to make cross country trips, EVs are not in my future.

We will need to be in a severe worldwide recession for that to happen.

It already has, which is why my 2022 prediction was wrong. So even if we’re in a recession, the market could anticipate recovery in 2024… so based on this…4545.

His cash is worth 8% less than last year thanks to inflation (I would argue it’s higher). If you don’t need growth of your nest egg over 30 years and have enough to absorb inflation erosion, sure, go with cash. I’ll go with history.

I put it in quotes because if you can offset the income, is it still income?

Does 1099K “income” add to your MAGI, so threatens blowing your ACA income limit?

I wouldn’t charge, but I have never done it before, but someday will. It could be a PITA, I guess it depends on the complexity of the estate. Any estimates on the amount of work (hours, days) it took?

You still have to worry about not having the money in your account.
