A marriage can complicate the finances sometime long after the marriage has ended.

Yep, you were correct. I have moved everything to Fidelity. Thanks.

The first person I talked with at Vanguard actually got it right. He sent me the correct paper work to complete, which I did. When I submitted the paperwork is when everything went to crap, it just snowballed from there into a big finger pointing mess...

Yep, make that Tuesday.

Good to know, I’ll check that tomorrow. Thanks!!!

[Thread merged into here, see below. --admin LadyGeek] I wish I didn’t have to write this, but someone must hold these folks accountable. Long story short, Vanguard customer service is horrible. We have been trying for the last 2 months to get my ex removed from my Vanguard accounts (I was awarded ...

When our spring mattress started dipping after ten years I looked and looked and decided on a firm Brooklyn bedding foam mattress. Wife was very skeptical but now insists she loves the bed. They are a bit warmer than regular mattresses but I love it. Great night sleep. I heard Costco version bed is...

I am constantly amazed that people try to make this point. Does the act of traveling to and from a restaurant, being seated, and then waiting for your food (then the bill) not take time? I've discussed ad nauseum how I handle it and I do not suggest that everybody can or should do it like we do BUT...

There's a better way to analyze this. Figure out your hourly wage, by dividing your salary by number of hours worked in a year. Any services significantly under this hourly rate you should outsource, unless you enjoy the task or don't value your free time/leisure. By making your own lunch every day...

Yes your bill is a little high. Not high enough to justify solar though, pay back time is way too long in my opinion( without generous government subsidies). Set your AC to 78-79, that'll make a huge difference. Check out this website for more easy and aggressive ways to cut your electric bill. http...

National Museum of Wildlife Art - since all of the artwork is wildlife related - this might be worthwhile for your family. Beautiful museum.

I have a 6 year old D130 that runs like, well, like a Deere

I keep hoping it will start giving me problems or die because I really want a Zero turn for mowing my 2 acres. Once the D130 gives up the ghost, which doesn't look to be this mowing season, I'm going Zero turn (Bobcat).

Yes, pay for the wedding with taxable money. A friend gave his daughter a fixed amount and told her to keep whatever was left. Well, the daughter managed to come in under budget and was able to have a few thousand extra dollars to spend on her honeymoon. This is exactly what we did. Amazing how qui...

I'm in Texas and was recently rear-ended as well. The other driver was issued a citation and this was clearly noted on the police report. I did not file with my insurance, I filed with his.

I’d prefer a 3 series, but I have kids with lots of stuff. You have options: 3 series wagon, or if that's small, 5 series wagon. If you still need space, roof box.

My advice would be to break this monthly payment mindset as soon as possible. You don't have to have a car payment forever. Save up and pay cash for good, reliable transportation.
