Buy now or wait a year?

I need to build a home that has handicap modifications because I plan to age in place and NEVER go to a nursing home. I already have a home health nurse, but may have to expand her role as I become more aged. My current home has a negligible mortgage (about $5000 USD) so when I sell it, I’ll make my money back I paid for it. I’ve been looking to move for about two years, but finding the right builder, land has been a hard nut to crack. So I went to a real estate attorney to put me in the...Read More...

Lowered my gym membership price

I had a small success today. I added my gym membership to my husband's account. I will save $20 a month, so $240 per year. I wish I'd done it earlier. Then I called my Internet company to see if we could get a better deal, but that was a no-go. And we dropped Hulu and CBS.com (which was through Amazon), which I'd completely forgotten I was still subscribed to. It pays to stay on top of these things.Read More...

REDCATCEC, Ugh, I have been reusing the plastic grocery bags to clean my cat's litter box so the trash doesn't get smelly. You can't flush that stuff. It seems silly to recycle the grocery bags and buy small plastic bags to place the used cat litter into the trash. I do recycle when I get an abundance of them at the grocery store, but what to do about the cat litter so as not to stink up the house, but also not have those grocery bags in the landfills and where ever else they go. What to do?Read More...
redcatcec
You are right, the recycle places do not accept the plastic grocery store bags, please take them in to the stores or places that do. The recycled bags are melted down to make composite lumber (with saw dust). They also are made into other plastic items, like door & window frames, decks, and play ground equipment. The plastic bags are not biodegradable and stay in the environment a long time, eventually releasing chemicals into the water and soil. They also find their way to the bodies of...Read More...

Capital Gains for Selling property

Forum: Taxes
1 like · 819 views
I asked our cpa how our taxes will be affected if we sell our rental property. Most of the funds of the sale will be going to the mortgage company and we’ll pocket about $20,000. That $20,000 will go to pay down my husbands stock plan loans (he can borrow against it). Our cpa said we’ll pay capital gains on the total gain. In my understanding, that means that the difference in what we are getting ready to sell it for minus what we paid for it, is what we have to pay taxes on. If that is...Read More...

Insurance claim - minor accident, my fault

Forum: Insurance
0 likes · 343 views
I hit my neighbor's parked car. No one else was involved but me. I took pictures. The cars both got scraped. I figured mine is worse than hers and that both looked like something that could be sanded out. I figured I'd owe her $200 or so. She got estimates for $800 and $1800 ! The higher cost is from the dealer, and that's who my insurance company chose for her to go to. It appears they just took the estimate at face value. I thought they would estimate it themselves. (Her car is the white...Read More...

raising credit (FICO) using the snowball effect

Forum: Debt

maria rose
I recently questioned Pennyhoarder about the sudden hit to my credit (FICO) score, which I thought had to do with Synchrony Bank taking over 6 of my credit cards. I decided to not use (unless totally needed) every one of those cards until I eliminate the balances, using the snowball method. Using a credit simulator, this effort should show some (not much) increase in my FICO score, even with excellent no missed payments. I found out today, that this is a result of a change in what is...Read More...

Hi I recently posted about Amazon prime subscription which has sliding scale prices for all budgets. I have Amazon Prime along with my cable provider. I feel 1 SUBSCRIPTION should be all. There really is no need to get more since most of the subscriptions offer similar selections. Choose the one where you find stuff you like and if you have kids check out the kid selections. You can really save $$ if you take the time to shop around and compare different types, and be patient and wait for...Read More...
