Re: What is the main advantage of a trust? - 9 days ago

One of the main benefits of a trust is to save your heirs/beneficiaries from having to put your estate through probate. You save time and the money you would have to pay an attorney. Probate is a time and money suck. Transferring all your assets to a trust, especially your home, is a PITA, but you only have to do it once. After the trust is created, any new assets are purchased in the name of t

Had a Nest that was always causing problems because there was no c-wire. Switched to an Emerson Sensi but couldn’t connect it to my echo. Finally installed an Ecobee 3 and have been happy ever since. Support helped me connect it correctly and even helped me connect a c-wire from the extra wires at my furnace panel. Connected to Echo very easily. I recommend an Ecobee over any other smart ther

Re: Refinancing with current rates without sharing all my finances - 4 weeks ago

I refinanced last month and it is definitely worth the aggravation. I dropped my monthly payment by over $300. In retrospect, it wasn't really that much of a hassle. Filled out some forms, filled out some more forms and then filled out some more forms. Signed everything online and the closer came to the house and we signed the paperwork at a card table set up in the garage with the door open and

After buying a small order, I was so impressed with them that I placed a large order. I sterilize them using USB-C and ditch them after four uses. I now hqve enough to get me through 2021. You may

Re: “Dumb” question *I* couldn’t answer re: SS benefits - 6 weeks ago

I don't know the answer to your question, but the best advice I ever got was "If you can afford to wait, then wait until you reach 70 to claim the maximum amount of benefits. That four years between 66 and 70 can give you a big boost to your actual monthly payment. A lot of people say "yes, but if I claim early I'll accrue a larger amount over the rest of my life." Not true. Whe

Re: Weird credit card fraud experience - 6 weeks ago

QuoteSarcany Weird. When scammers ask you to make a video or audio recording, they prompt you to say certain phrases. These phrases are spliced into audio/video verification of your acceptance of various "slamming" style charges to your phone or signup for new services. I've never heard of a legit reason for a CC company to request a video of you. Nothing about it from a quick Goo

Re: eBay KN95 Masks Arrived - 2 months ago

My second order arrived late last week. First order had the masks idividually wrapped, but loose. The second order, they were in boxes, 10 to a box. Excellent masks. They hold water without leaking and if the metal nose piece is fitted correctly, the seal is very good. The mask moves in and out when I breathe, so there is a decent seal. BTW, now I have 300 of them. If I rotate and use a mask fou

QuoteMarkintosh There is not a time in my life where I ever thought that having a 2-3 year supply of dog poop bags on hand was a good idea. Even in the event of Extreme Lock Down 2.0, the doggos will get no walks and just go in the back yard, where we have a shovel and a bucket. If your dog goes out twice a day, that's only about 18 months worth of poop bags. Still a lot of bags...
