Found retirement money, what to do? I (54M) was recently contacted because there was a pension plan (!!!) I was enrolled in over 30 years ago at an old job. It’s only about $30k total, so I’m not looking at property in the south of France or anything. The pension is being dissolved, and I am being given 3 options for my money at the end of the year. First is just a lump sum distr…

Helpful Money Habits Ive found small habits when it comes to money are the biggest difference makers. For me, it was simply checking my bank account every morning. I used to avoid looking at my balance, and because of that, I’d overspend without realizing it. But once I got into the habit of glancing at my transactions daily, I started noticing little things: subscr…

Paying off deceased mother’s debt with lowest tax implications My mother passed last year (fuck cancer). She had far more money that we expected but certainly nothing that’s in the realm of “we can stop working the rest of our lives” money. The majority of the money is sitting in a traditional IRA that has her children as beneficiaries. For round numbers, let’s say that each child gets $50,000, though I don…

I was also called by the airline customer service… Process is ongoing with my bank but does this mean my Gmail is compromised, or how does that all work?

Moving from WA to CA. Any state taxes or unique taxes I should be aware of? As the title implies, I have been offered a job (1 year contract) in Irvine, CA which is a 40% increase of my annual income but I currently live in Seattle, WA (no state income tax) I’m aware that California has state income tax but I’m now noticing that there’s other state-specific taxes I should be aware of such as capital gains on HSA and bro…

electronic payment apps internationally? This is my first post so forgive me if it’s not warranted, but I am wondering if there’s a tracker for what the common electronic payment apps are in every country? I just came back from Brazil where the dominant app is Pix and India where the G-pay is super common and I wish I had known this beforehand because it would’ve allowed me to pay for …

I’m disciplined with fitness, but terrible at budgeting I’ve spent the last 6 months tracking every meal, every workout, every macro. It became second nature. But when it comes to money, I have zero control sigh I try to budget, but I either forget, overspend, or just give up. I don’t even know where my money goes each month—it’s like it disappears. I’ve tried using apps, writing it down, but I never…

Personal Revelation – how much interest costs us Just want to share a personal revelation. This past year I’ve had massive change in how I pay attention to how crappy my family’s personal finances have been. This was all triggered by laughing to Caleb Hammer rant at people for how dumb they are, but then I took a long look at our debts, credit cards and our spending. Got started on paying dow…

Went from corporate job (with 401k) to education job (with pension and 403b); what do I do with my 401k? In 2018, I went from a corporate job with a 401k to a community college position with a pension and 403b. I had no idea what to do with my 401k and didn’t have the bandwidth to deal with it; I had a major and difficult life event happen right at the same time. My 401k has been sitting in its account, but I have to pay fees on it because I no lo…

Fidelity “Professionally” Managed Bond Portfolio – Not Recommended. I have had a terrible experience with Fidelity professionally managed bond portfolio service. Most concerning is how the stated make up of the portfolio was misrepresented in the prospectus compared with the actual composition of the fund put together for us.
