Re: [How do I send my Qualified Charitable Distribution to a charity]?
I sent a check written by Vanguard to one charity. After a month or two, I had not received an acknowledgment. So, I asked the charity about it. They claimed no knowledge of the donation. So, I contacted Vanguard and they told me the check was never cashed. So, they stopped payment on that one and issued a replacement. I don't know if Vanguard would ever have notified me that the check was not cashed. That raises another question. What happens to the money if a check is never cashed? Does it revert to my account? Does it go to unclaimed funds in my name? Does it go to unclaimed funds in the charity's name? Does Vanguard just keep the money? I found your post because I did a search regarding a replacement QCD check. In my case, Vanguard sen...

Re: Letting Dog out everyday for lunch... the roundtrip drive is killing me.. ideas?
First off, before it gets suggested, my dog isn't going anywhere. We love him very much! Our dog is non-destructible and has no separation anxiety. He is a 5-year-old Golden Retriever who has free rein of house when we're not there. We are able to to watch him on our Nest cam throughout the day and he sleeps, mostly. My commute to work is 18 miles each way (36 round-trip). 4 days a week I have been letting him out of the house for a bathroom break around mid-day for my lunch. The entire ordeal usually takes 1-1.25 hour to let him out for 5, maybe 10 minutes (there's even a rare occasions where he refuses to go; of course, 5-10 minutes might not be enough time for him to do his business). Besides the stress of doing basically 2 commutes a d...

Re: Are You A "Sesquipedalian"?
Funny, but I was always taught that the best way to become more informed was to look up new words when I encountered them. Do you think my teachers were missing something, Taylor, and that I should be making fun of people who know things I don't know instead of learning from them? Your reading of Taylor's post was quite different from mine, vineviz. I didn't feel that Taylor was "making fun of" the persons he was addressing as possible "sesquipedalians", but rather expressing a reasonable preference for the style of communication he hopes for on this forum. I may or may not agree with him about this, but I certainly respect him for stating his preference, and did not find anything to criticize in his manner of doing so. .

Re: Investing Father's Assets Who Is In Nursing Home (POA)
I am sorry about your father. I know this can all be overwhelming. I am not an expert at all but will make some comments. 1. $5000/month for nursing home will undoubtably go up over 5 years. 2. Assuming it doesn't go up... $5000 x 12 = $60,000 x 5 years = $300,000 3. Based on what you listed your father not only has a lot more money than that but also has income from SS and pensions that will be used each month to help pay that $5000/month. It won't pay for all so it really is the shortfall that will use up some of his money. Because of all of the above, it appears that Medicaid will not be in an issue in 5 years. I believe he would need to be down to about $2000 in assets. Which is why the lawyer is recommending the trust, which takes the...

Vanguard recommends against this choice:
"Whom to consider naming as your trusted contact
Your trusted contact should be someone you know would be unbiased when it comes to your health, whereabouts, and well-being—someone with integrity whom you can rely on. You can name anyone you decide is best. However, we encourage you to name someone who can't transact on your accounts to help ensure objectivity."

Life expectancy is the median, half will live longer and half will live less than the posted number. I hope the RMD is not that strict or one half of the people will have taken out all the money and still be alive.
Edit: I see Steelersfan beat me to it, and more specifically.
BTW, none if this applies to Inherited IRAs. They will be empty by the time you reach the age you were expected to die when you inherited the money.

For the last 17 years (I'm 82) I've been on their Medicare Advantage program, which seems pretty comparable to the Kaiser CA plan. I agree with the other recommendations in this thread; I've been very satisfied with Kaiser from the beginning. At age 82, I'm consuming considerably more health care than I was when I started with Kaiser. I continue to be very positive about the care I'm getting. One thing I noticed a few years ago was an improvement in my experience of being cared for, across the board, starting with checking in for appointments, including not just my physicians but also the various technicians, therapists,...

You might get more replies (and in more depth) if you use our recommended format for asking portfolio advice.
Without that added information from you, my only comment on your portfolio is to note that the majority of your funds (82% if I've done the math correctly) is in taxable, so if you are still earning income you may want to focus on getting more into tax advantaged funds. In the 24% tax bracket you likely are eligible for the backdoor Roth.

Re: Attempting To Be Debt Free
Great suggestions so far. Why do you plan to drop the extra income from the side jobs? +1 - I would figure the side jobs can help you pay off this debt quicker? One of side jobs I work is on weekends only and because of that less time is spent with the kids. The kids stay with their mother weekdays - sort of a compromise with ex. So I will use weekdays (mostly evenings and nights) to work side jobs and be with my kids on weekends. If I have family members nearly who could help with babysitting I would go for split custody and keep the weekend job. With expected raise or promo, I think I will be okay. Ygman, I want to support you in this decision. It may mean that it will take you a bit longer to pay off your debts, but important as being d...

That means their tax rate is right now at its peak. If there is an amount they are certain they will end up donating in the future (at death or during retirement), they should donate it now to gain the tax deduction, which will multiply their donation by a third to half depending on their bracket. Well, maybe. On the other hand, if a significant portion of OP's wealth will be in tax-deferred funds, and he/she expects to live beyond 70 1/2, they will be hit with RMDs, which will be taxed as ordinary income, as opposed to the capital gains tax OP paid earlier.

Re: Do you go for annual Medicare preventive tests and screening?
Medicare covers one free flu shot per "flu season." For billing purposes, the "season" runs from 8/1/xxxx through 7/31/xxxx+1. It doesn't matter how many days it's been since your last flu shot; there have been years when I've gotten last year's shot late (e.g., in January) and then gotten the following year's shot shortly after it became available in the fall.
While I realize that regulations often make no sense, requiring a 365 day waiting period would guarantee that people would be getting each year's shot later than the last year; by the time most of us hit 85, we'd be getting our shot well into the flu season, or even after it was pretty well past. i'm pretty sure that the CDC would not be happy about this.
