I read on my phone. I use the Libby app for library books and kindle app for others. I use the RB digital app for library magazines, like the economist.

The pages of the statement that show the brokerage account say "year-to-date" on them. However, the data is not YTD. You might be mis-interpreting the report. The "year-to-date" refers to the totals. The "transaction" section is only for the current quarter. I think on the old platform the reports ...

I tried putting it in the Settlement fund and wasn't able to take the RMD after that. I might have to wait until it clears.

I converted to the "New Platform" and after that conversion, the Mobile Check feature stopped working. Mobile Check has never worked for me on the "New Platform".

OK...they want me to put it in the settlement fund. I want to withhold a % for fed taxes and move the rest to my taxable account. Once it's in the settlement fund will it give me the option to direct how much I want to go to taxes? It was so much easier to navigate this site prior to brokerage taki...

If the issue was solved, it would be solved on your current chromebook as well. Perhaps it's time to upgrade to a cloud ready printer? This was going to be my reply.

I watched the new Magnum PI last night. Also the new show, Manifest, about a 2013 airliner that lands in 2018 New York. Both lived down to the NYT summary: "On Monday, the “Magnum P.I.” pilot is a snooze, and “Manifest,” the missing-plane drama, is even worse." We made it through Magnum, barely, but...

Insurance will probably change as a rental unit, and may be a different type of policy overall. I would discuss it with your agent.

You might google it, but the rule of thumb is 80 to 100 gal/day per person, excluding lawn watering, etc. So your 7000 gal/month is on the low side, under the average, at about 60 gpd/person.
