re: Starting Over After Divorce

Posted by JimEagle on 2/19/24 at 11:11 am
I rarely post here but this one hits close to home so I'll put in my two cents. I lost my wife to cancer @ 36 with a 4 year old child. I was settled down and worried mostly about things like my family, job, my lawn, etc. I took about a year to deal with the loss, work on myself, and give attenti...
I have the Purple w/ 1000/1000 ATT Fiber. Works great,app is nice, and its relativity easy to use. We use it to control my daughters access times and content viewed. It's a cool product but keep in mind support is ticket system only. It's got some neat DNS security features, VLAN ability, and fr...
I don’t post much but figured I’d chime in. I lost my wife of 5 years a year and half ago at 36 to cancer. We had a 4 year old at the time and I thought my life was over. I was left with her loss, mountains of medical bills, and a little girl without her mom. Some of the hardest days were mo...
Update - I looked up the LLC on the policy and called the Agent after some googling of his name. Good ole baw said his employee did let him know and the guy riding with him was his daughters bf. Asked me to send over my contact info and he'd talk to his local guy that wrote the policy. I als...

So coming home from family vacation (Gulf Shores) I stopped at a gas station to get my kid something to drink. I walk outside to find some baw in a mid 90s F250 backed out his his space too sharply and caught the bottom part of my vehicle. He was driving away until the wife created a scene which got...

You wanna move up or make more money? Learn enterprise Linux, look for jobs that apply skill sets in that area and become an expert. Certs will get you a job but won't keep you in one so learning hands on before you fill your head with a bunch of stuff you really don't need to know day-to-day would ...

[quote]Start maxing 529, 401k[/quote] This seems like the most popular and safe way to go with reducing debt. I guess my next question is what shall I do with my pay check assuming I have no mortgage/car payment/debt? Just curious what others would do with the monthly excess. The reality for ...

[quote]6) sounds like you’re giving advice on insurance but didn’t happen to mention life. Should seem obvious that you have some sort of life insurance policy in place, and you seem way too smart and conservative not to. But a term-life on you, if you don’t have it, + a will would be pretty critica...

Thanks for all the input on options. I hope none of you ever have to explain to a small child what heaven is or worry about how they are gonna handle it in 5-10 years. I am conservative with money in general so will take the most secure route when the time comes. My overall goal is reduce worry ...

[quote]And again, I wouldn’t rush into a big decision about moving, selling your primary residence, changing jobs, etc. until you get some grief counseling and get some time with your unexpected life change.[/quote] Yep.

Pay off house or invest Pt. 2

I saw the other thread so I'm fairly certain I know what I'm going to get here but wanted to run my unique situation by the MT hive mind. My wife passed away recently and left me with $400k in life insurance and a paid for home that we do not live in. It was a family members and we were planning...
I got mine approved also. Decided why even try and write a book. Wrote about 5 sentences stating putting foreign things in my body would lead me to a life of sin and eternal fire. They aren’t going to lose human capital over arguing religious beliefs or expose themselves to court cases either. ...
