Re: Should I leave Small Company for MegaCorp?
of course you have to get the job, since it doesn't sound like you have an offer yet, but I would tell them with the loss of bonus for 2021 and loss of 401K until you vest in their bonus structure, you are losing XX,000, if they can increase their base by half of that and signing bonus for other half, and they agree, I would take it. Sounds like smaller company could have a layoff coming and also megacorp will look good on your resume as you get older.

Re: Seeking advice in delicate situation
there is absolutely nothing you can do, if they are bad with money they are bad with money and you have to accept that you giving them money is 100% enabling them, and then it is up to you. They will never change, if you want to help it is no strings attached if you give them 10,000 and then spend $1,000 on lottery tickets, oh well not only nothing you can do, nothing you can say either, you just shut up either way, the gift or help doesn't give you the right to tell them how to live their life, if you aren't happy with how they spend, then don't give them any help.

Re: Unemployment
income taxes are filed on a cash basis so it doesnt matter when they benefit was earned only when it was received. So that is 2021 income.rockylou wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 7:15 am I realize that a portion of unemployment benefits for 2020 are not taxable; however, my daughter received benefits for 2020 in January 2021 as the employer had fought her application and she won on appeal. The benefits went back to August 2020. I assume she will have to pay taxes since she didn’t get the money until 2021. Does any one have any idea about this? Thanks

I am currently driving a 2014 Prius. Car is paid off, has 85K miles, runs great. But I want more as I moved to Alaska and this car is just not suitable for much of the summer adventures. I am looking at getting a new 4Runner for about $45k with a $20k down payment. I have been approved for a loan of $25k at 2.49%. I don't need the 4Runner, I want the 4Runner. Used isn't a huge discount and we are financially in a good spot. BUT, those monthly payments into the market really add up. I did the math and passing on this, putting the $20k into the market and switching the $350 payments back into the market at 9% is $57k over the 5 years.

Nor do I know what its like to be without an identity related to who I am at work and the contributions I make, which have provided a sense of accomplishment for many years. So retiring is letting go of some economic security, and also letting go of a part of who I am.

It seems like there has been a $150K MFJ, limit on all of these stimulus plans, and at new job plus wife's job plus current rate of side hustle, we would make something like $180-190K, so I am putting 10,500 in Childcare FSA, 1,000 in FSA, 7.5% goes into my PERS, I am maxing out my DCP at $19,500, and then maxing $11K in SACT pre tax, with the goal of keeping our 2021 MFJ income under $150K for future stimulus and childcare credits or any future govt incentives.
Is anyone else doing something similar? Or does this seem too extreme?

IMO there is absolutely ZERO option of going back to job #1 after having accepted and trying to tell them you have another offer that is $20K higher and asking them to match. You are new, you haven't even started and this looks greedy, tacky and all about you. I would think if you did this, Job #1 would say, consider our offer revoked, enjoy job #2.

In those dimensions you’re not getting anything other than a standard one door fridge with a one door freezer. Fridges under 32” wide are increasingly rare. Then why is the one we have is side be side and those are its dimensions. It’s 30 years old. Standards do change from time to time. Have you checked https://www.ajmadison.com/ for options?

Re: Updating Graphic card drivers

Re: Updating Graphic card drivers
yes but it is a laptop so I cant just easily buy a better graphics card or another RAM card and quickly, easily install it, and I am not ready to spend $1,000 plus on a new laptop, this one is mostly fine except that one game gives me the graphics error and at times it can be a little slow, but not slow enough to justify spending $1,500 on a new laptop.dukeblue219 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 5:38 pmDid this game ever run well on your system?

Re: Updating Graphic card drivers
I assume so since the one game I play the most says my graphics are out of date and it runs slowly. Also computer overall can be slow and I have paid norton and paid malwarebyte, but I am not ready to buy a new laptop, but probably need to at some point.

Re: Updating Graphic card drivers
I go to this page
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en ... etect.html
, click download, norton says the file is safe.
instead of installing, it asks me if it can remove a program, I click ok, then try to download the program again, and it still says cant it remove program instead of install, and over and over.
