Will my 19 year old son that still lives with us and was claimed as an additional dependent on my taxes last year get anything? He was a high school student for the first half of 2019, but filed his own return for the full-time job he worked after graduating?

How about an expansion to this about when to seek medical assistance. If you just have a cough and fever, nothing at the hospital is going to help because it is a viral infection. However, if you experience difficulty breathing get additional help as soon as possible. I picked up a cheap blood oxygen meter for about…

If you feel confident in your employment security, a 401k loan could really benefit you in a bear market. Effectively, your investment shifts to a guaranteed income fund likely granting around a 4% return. If the overall market dives 10%, you can come out way ahead in that scenario.

I’m a lazy dad. My teens get a card when they get a drivers licence along with a lecture that it is for gas for their shared vehicle and authorized purchases like milk runs. They understand that if the card is lost or missing, they tell me immediately. It also helps that I’m kinda a tightwad about finances and check…

Fairly sure I expressed a similar sentiment on free days last year. Especially the ones on national holidays, free days just exasperate overcrowding issues in the national parks in my area (Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon, etc.). These places aren’t built to handle mass crowds, so free days are a disservice to these parks.

A couple years ago while shopping for my oldest son’s first vehicle, we came across a ‘94 Corolla with about 30k miles on it. Not really believing the ad, we took it for a test drive. Other than some signs it had been smoked in at one point in the last 3 decades, the vehicle was in great condition. The little old lady…

The DJIA is certainly not a total stock market index. The Dow only includes 30 large stocks. For total stock market look at the Russell 2000 or Russell 5000.

Walmarts are now adding charging stations. I’ve never actually seen one of the 8 stations at my local store being used even though the Wal-mart is a block from I-15.

BFADS.net has all the big retailer sale flyers so you can pregame your shopping plan.

Since it’s also Evil Week, try driving by local churches. Many will be having pot lucks and trunk or treats. Free food and free candy all in one stop.

Box up toys for storage and rotate through them over time. We have a big garage, so we can put stuff away eaisly. The little ones know we won’t get out a new bucket of toys unless they box up the last one they got out.

YMMV. I’ve tried this before without success. I have an 800-ish credit score, so that isn’t an issue. My preferred card kept increasing rates outside of changes from the Fed, so I call and said I’d be transferring my balances (joyous medical debt) if they couldn’t do something about it. The rep stuck to a dead-end…

Can’t get tickets in your big city theater? Try looking in smaller nearby towns. My little city is just over an hour out of the biggest city in the state, but barely sells half the seats for big premiers. Even Endgame didn’t sell out opening night. In the rare instance something is popular, they just add more showings.

4 stream limit, with downloads to up to 10 devices.

How are you having issues? The service isn’t available until Nov 12.

Maximize the RAM. I’m leave my current job next week. A few years ago, I personally purchased and installed additional ram in my computer. I popped out those chips this morning, and my machine is now painfully slow.

Both my wife and I were independently established before marrying, though I was much better managing money. At first, we maintained separate accounts, and she would handle some bills, while I did others. After a few late payments and overdrafts, I insisted I take over the bills. She didn’t want to give up control at…

You can say the same thing without it coming across as your just there for the money. Maybe rephrase what you said as “In addition to being an [leader in the industry/highly respected company/exciting startup], you offer competitive pay and benefits in a field where I enjoy working.”

Thanks for the article Nicole. It couldn’t be more timely for me. At the beginning of the month, I was passed over for a promotion. It’s not that someone else got the job, but that I wasn’t even given the opportunity to apply.
