Your going to see the delivery person walk up with your package even if you can't see after they put it down.

I added a year to mine a while back with the same deal so I'm paid up to April of 2022. Does anyone know if I purchase another year right now (while they have this deal) will it work and bump me to April of 2023? Edit: Just looked. No I can't. "A membership can only be extended in the last six...

In simple terms , if door has glass , keyed deadbolt only - if not then deadbolt with locking knob - security is the focus not convenience - DW and I learned this after our first apartment after getting married was broken into .

I think you are saying, for doors that have dead bolts on them, you will use a simple knob that doesn’t lock. If so, I like it. That’s my preference too. The locking knobs aren’t an issue for me, because I just don’t bother with them. However, I have been locked out more than once by house guests o...

I filed mine with TurboTax this afternoon. Yeah, it's a pain in the you know what. But its only once a year. I just opened my LastPast, unhide the password and carefully typed it in the TurboTax window.

I moved mine from Optum to a local bank. Like others said, move it all into the cash side of existing HSA first. I gave my bank all the info they needed and let them request a trustee to trustee transfer. That way you don't have to report it on your tax form.

I always list each 1099 separately when using Turbo Tax, even if we have multiples from the same bank/brokerage. It just makes it easier to match everything up for us. I always use the supporting details box to list it all out for myself. I'm just concerned how the IRS sees it. They will see 2 1099...

Over the years we have had joint accounts at various banks. Some accounts with me as primary, some with wife as primary. When we get our 1099's sometimes we will get 2 1099 INT's from the same bank. One with my social security number and the other with the wife's. If I have 2 from the same bank (her...

I’m going to agree with doctorgonzo. I have used many versions of quicken for about 20 years now, and switched to Quicken for Mac about two years ago. It’s incredibly good. Best version by far. The most common complaint is the subscription model. I usually hate the subscription model, but this one’...

I bought a couple back when the daughter started driving. Got them from a local guy that his family's been in business for many years and has a good reputation.

I've got a Wellcare plan. Premium went down slightly next year. My generics are still $0 dollar but they bumped my Brilinta up to a tier 4 from tier 3 next year.

Someone at Vanguard told me that with so many different rules depending on what state your in they don't do beneficiaries on joint accounts anymore.

Has Vanguard ever given a reason for not allowing beneficiaries to be named on a joint account? Other places do, so it's not a legal thing. This has at least two drawbacks that I can think of. First, if one joint owner passes, the remaining one has to be aware to name beneficiaries, if that is thei...

My Wellcare premium went down slightly for 2021 but they changed my Brilinta from a tier 3 to a tier 4. I may be able to get an exemption because I've been on it since May. If not I might switch to a Clearspring plan. You have to do your homework or have a good broker that does it for you.

Has Quicken transitioned to the cloud yet or is it a downloadable program? I think that the subscription model is sometimes misunderstood. Quicken is still a desktop program that you have to download and install, and your data is still stored on your computer. There is an optional cloud sync featur...

The ideal candidate for a high-deductible Medicare Supplement Plan is someone with a large HSA account balance to self-insure the deductible.

You can't predict the future. Went on medicare this past February. I was tempted to go with an advantage plan. Ended up going with a regular plan G and basic part D.

They have had trouble with it checking your credit info for a good while. I was able to sign up for SS online but could not set up a online account. Had to go by the SS office to get a acess code from them. No problem setting it up after that.

In terms of speeding the program is not strict with the speed limit so +/-5 is fine. I am not suggesting you speed but you aren't penalised for speeding unless you go 10mph over.
