I think this likely applies to my situation. We have an old pier and beam house that has experienced settling over the years, making the floor not level. I'd like to have someone come take a look at it to get their thoughts on adding shims to the low spots.

Do y'all have anyone in mind that I should try contacting for this kind of thing?

Any other advice for me? Does this create a lot of cracks in sheet rock or plaster or any other issues I may not have thought of yet?

Another scenario:

TIRA (and all other traditional) balance is at zero on December 31, 2020

Need to make non-deductible TIRA contribution for 2020 (between Jan 1 and April 15, 2021--wish I had done it before year end but here we are) to convert to roth.

Also pretty sure that 2021 will need the same treatment.

Question is this: can I contribute (right now) $12,000 total ($6k for 2020 and $6k for 2021), and immediately convert all of this to roth? I realize this should require form 8606 for both tax years, but I just wanted to make sure there's nothing wrong with converting 2021 kind of early in 2021. TIA.

If you're still insurable and/or reasonably healthy, look at quotes for new term policies. If you can't get another policy but truly need coverage, go with permanent conversion if affordable.

Agreed on the Roth being taxed at marginal rate, but why would the traditional withdrawals down the road be taxed at the effective rate instead of marginal like Roth?

I know there are many variables, but how do the loan underwriters tend to view someone's earnings when they recently switched to a 1099 work arrangement (as opposed to w2)? Do they want that kind of income to be consistent for a certain amount of time? Excellent credit.

Is there a rule of thumb on death benefit advancement? I could be way off but I was under the impression the advancement on death benefit was if a physician thought the insured would die within twelve months.

Also, what portion of the death benefit do insurance companies generally allow for this?

I'd drive an extra couple hours for Costco.

Regardless of how he died, lots of "woke" people want Chauvin to be responsible for his death is what I meant.
