Thank you for sharing your experiences and perspectives. I'm behind on my wills and it looks like getting that done by subscribing for a year may be worth it.

For $200 a year, I can subscribe to the legal services which access to attorney for most of the common legal issues including estate planning, trafic inciden...

Less bickering more learning please!

Yes please...our money is on the line

"It works until it doesn't." Or it proves anything goes up or down at the same time on any given day. Correlations over the long term is what matters for the long term investor. Unless one is a day trader why does anyone care? I am pretty sure every person who is on board with trying this is in it ...

I have a Roth with $1,500 (I can't backdoor) that would be a slam dunk for this if I didnt have all investments at Vanguard. It is so small I can't talk myself into the hassle of another account. If it was 10k I would do it. Somebody talk me into it! Not trying to talk you into it but account openi...

Watching this thread with lot of interest...will likely jump in. Like many others in the forum, the 3X leverage does concern me...especially in a market like 2008. Did a quick check on 2X funds (SSO, UBT) in 50/50 ratio and compared them to OP's mix. Returns are obviously much lower but with signifi...

Hi guys. I just signed up for life insurance through an agent who happens to be a friend. My current quote is $38 per month for $500,000 for a 20 year term. My wife’s will be $15 per month for $100,000 for a 20 year term. So a total of $53 per month. We are both 34. I’m just curious....how do these...

Everything was normal at ORD and EWR this week. We have people flying from DFW, RDU, BOS, CVG...nobody had anything different to report

so my inclination is just to go for a total mkt index fund (FZROX).

That's exactly what I did. They have a long life in front of them. A total stock fund makes sense...no expense fee and no minimum makes it best suited in my view.

Bumping...any suggestions?

Hi Bogleheads, need your guidance. I received a notice from IRS (CP22H) for Tax Year 2015 regarding adjustment to my Shared responsibility payment and I now owe roughly 400 USD. I'm fairly certain that this is a mistake because I have my 2015 forms 1095C from both employers in that year (changed job...

Using crowd calendar is good advice but sometimes those days are the only options you have, so the calendar wouldn't help much. For Universal LA - here is some practical advice (we visited during July 4th week and crowd calendar showed 8/9): 1. Buy tickets directly from universal site. That allows y...

Another bad day. Dow down 557 points, S&P 500 down 48, and the NAZZ down 179. Personally, I call it another fun day. Very fun day...I would have had more fun if I had any more money left to invest...have to wait for next paycheck to hit 401k. I hope it stays down for a little while longer :beer

Appears that SIPC chief is as surprised about this as everybody else

already few other threads here. The waiting list is at 150,000+ already. It is not FDIC insured but SPIC insured

Don't know what your time frames are but for the longer term, 10+ years: -Generally you want to put your highest potential earning securities in Roth so they can grow totally tax free over the years. -For safety and taxable, put your emergency funds in a money market/CDs/bank account. You won't pay...

I like KEEpass. Open source, free, local storage instead of cloud. +1 for Keepass. using for 2+ years. there are windows and Mac versions and iphone apps as well. I have set it up on my Mac such that the database is auto synced to one drive cloud (secured with a very strong master password). I then...

Big +1 for mesh. Switched to google wifi almost 2 years ago after struggling with extenders. No issues in last 2 years. In my 3000 sqft home, 3 wifi points leave no dead spots (with the primary in in one corner of the home).

Thank you very much!! Couple more question come to my mind: 1) Is Trip protection covered for 'all family members' or portion of card holder? 2)Can Travel Lounge be used by all family members or just card holder? Chase recently updated their lounge policy for Reserve. At this time, cardholder can t...

Back in Dec 2016, I totaled a Hertz rental car (by rear ending another Hertz rental) in Hawaii. I had used Hertz reward points to book the car for 4 days but luckily paid the taxes with my Chase Sapphire Reserve card. After I returned back home, I got 2 claims from Hertz - first for 12K for the car ...

I'd recommend to people just to read all of his letters, which are available online in simple format from 1977 on. You'll learn more from them than from reading what writers think about him, although it will be a bit less entertaining. This. The letters are probably the best insights into his think...
