davidrmoran : No need to send billing, it's the amount that caught my attention!
@bee
RMDs are taking as early as possible to potentially provide a LT capital gain (from the RMD WD date + 1 year) AKA "Capital Gains Years". Conversely, In years where these RMDs suffered a loss, one would sell (by Dec 31st of that year) to harves…
I believe one can claim $300 on standard form. I"m probably wrong as I haven't done my Taxes in the last 7 or 8 years. I realize $300 isn't going to help much, but to some people every little bit saved is a plus.
@Crash $264 /month ? Total of supplement & Medicare ? My ad plan just went to $235/ month plus deduction from SS. $235 does cover some glasses & dental.
@hank Thanks for that lengthy note. Are you snowed in or just in the "freezer" ? I see temps rising into 30's next week, then down again. Thankfully no below O readings!
@BenWP You're doing good youngster, still changing oil! I did at one time, after finding filler cap not put back on & another a QUART low I did my own changes up to about the age of 65.
@Sven I'm looking at a $6 difference for full vs semi oil change with a tire rotation included in the special. Also I'm not one to change every 6 months ,but when due by mileage.
@Sven I looked up "short term bond" & received back, "Short-term bonds are debt securities that mature within one to four years:" Would you agree or more likely stay with one year or shorter ?
@dtconroe Nothing wrong driving a 15 year old car in my mind. I had a 05 Toy that I sold in 23. Changed oil every 5K miles.
@fundly Thanks for the reply. I also use ERIE.
@BaluBalu : Thanks for the reply. My insurance has no charge to have someon…
@fundly : As for your post above, did you use ERIE or go else where? Did you have to pay more for the extra $300K+ million pay out ? Thanks, Derf
@BaluBalu; Was the chip in the window located low? Let us know how the fix works out?
…
@dtconroe : With your last comment it leads me to ask, what % are you receiving for your $15K deposit & I'm taking it to mean saving, MMF, or checking account ?
My bank offered to move MMF at a higher rate if I opened checking account paying…
@BenWP I concur with your thoughts, " I do think such substitutes for real cars contribute to our obesity epidemic just as much as Fritos and Domino’s Pizza.
Let me add, recliners & PC's , at least for me. Also note I drive a Forester Subie as…
@ BaluBalu Well at least you asked for adjustment which is reasonable. Try the SEC or a law firm to start a class action suit. Next time take a CG or dividend in cash as you spoke of. How many $ did it cost you, if I may ask ?
…
@hank You bring up an interesting point. Still I'd rather pay the piper for a Toy build in the USA, than one coming from overseas!
Happy Holidays, Derf
FWIW to you.
Toyota VINs starting with "1", "4", or "5" represent vehicles assembled in the United States, VINs beginning with "2" indicate vehicles assembled in Canada, and vehicles with VINs beginning with "3" were assembled in Mexico. Vehicles w…
Thanks YBB & TheShadow. I haven't got a handle on my new PC. I had to down size my message & then read with magnifier so I didn't have to roll left & right to read.
HECK - VG says no wrong doing, yet paid-off Mass!!
Let them pay for t…
@Crash $2 rental ?! Maybe it's goes to coffee & rolls. Graft at the public library. Do they charge for other material ? Copy machine is 25cents BW, color $.50 per piece at local library.
MMF - checking at local bank,BMO, dropped for the second time in three months. Rate went from 2.?? -1.745 1.547.
Time to move RMD , which went there by my error!
