Went to a financial advisor about starting a Roth IRA and almost got steered into a indexed universal life insurance policy. Hey everyone, Just wanted to share my breif but recent experience and everything that Ive come to understand so far. For starters, I reached out to a financial advisor with the original intent of looking into building a Roth IRA. After the first meeting they tried to steer me towards doing an indexed universal life insurance policy as an invest…

Employer has not withheld income tax for almost a year I just got my W2 and realized that my employer has not withheld federal income taxes since March of last year. I think there was a clerical error-I received a service award at my place of work that came with a $500 check. Every paystub prior to that award had taxes withheld appropriately, but every paystub after that has a blank next to FIT. Soc…

Baggage delayed by almost two months I flew from Lisbon to Cleveland via Dublin and JFK. When I arrived to JFK, my luggage did not arrive and I filed a case with AerLingus. I arrived on the 8th of Jan to my final destination, and my suitcase was supposed to be arrive on the 14th through FedEx. I didn’t and I stopped receiving updates. I was calling fedex and aerlingust almost daily…

Spotify HiFi was announced four years ago, and it’s almost here — maybe I’m hard-pressed to find another example of a tech company announcing something and then waiting over four years to actually ship it, but that’s exactly the situation we’ve reached with Spotify and its long-delayed HiFi feature. The latest reports indicate it’s finally coming in a matter of months as part of a Music Pro package

I finally found a suitable replacement for Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick! 🖤 I’ve always loved the color of the Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick, but unfortunately, after many wears I had to accept that the formula does not work for me. It dries out my lips and makes them peel like a snake every time. I eventually gave up on it and gave both of my tubes away to my sister (who loves the color and the formula). I had r…

What is a Song That You Love But The Ending (Almost) Totally Ruins It? You love jamming to the song but then….ugh. The Ending is terrible- maybe there’s a key change 🤔 or a slow part that lags on or a completely different musical piece shoehorned in. Or, some verbiage or sirens 🚨 that you just don’t like. Here are mine: I love love love everything by Sisters of Mercy. Including Sisters of Mercy – More

LPT If you want to correct someone without embarrassing them, assume you are wrong and invite them to learn together. Ppl almost always mirror a humble approach. I’m a stickler for pronunciation, and this approach has never failed. I’ll say something like, “Uh oh, is *that* how you pronounce that? I’ve been saying something else and now I’m not sure.” People almost always want to find out with you so they are not similarly embarrassed. If I’m right, they are way more likely to accept it because I opened …

Almost ended up in Hawaii by accident. I didn’t even know it was possible to get on the wrong plane with all the ticket scanners and security checks—but apparently, it is. So, I was flying to Helena, Montana, on United. On the way to the airport, I got a call from a gate agent saying my flight from my hometown to Denver (where I had a connection) was oversold. They asked if I’d be wi…

The process of purchasing Sagrada Familia tickets almost makes me not want to go to Sagrada Familia. This rant is in good humor, this whole ordeal was so amusing. I don’t know how many of y’all have tried buying tickets for this church/museum but holy cow their purchase process is a nightmare. Spent an hour messing around on different devices trying to determine why my purchase was failing. I later find out there is a known issue where their pl…

Found life insurance policy grandmother took out for me as a child, she passed almost 20 years ago, what do I do? Edit: Was able to get in touch with someone and the policy has lapsed – I was making a mountain out of a molehill thank you for the responses! Found somewhat similar threads about still living parents/grandparents trying to transfer ownership but nothing really on this. Just found out my grandmother had taken out a life insurance policy for me …
