Trying to see how to get in touch with you to discuss something. Thanks

Listen to the song Cats in the Cradle. Don’t live out that song. WIN!!!!

Best advice I can ever give to a new dad.

GEICO will raise your price after 6 months. You simply got a discount for your first term

If they raise it in six months, I’ll re-shop if I have to. What’s wrong with not spending an extra thousand dollars a month for the next six months??? I’m betting it doesn’t jump $1000 in six months per month

I’m not saying this to sound rich, but money really wasn’t a deciding factor on what type to get

Is the Retrax the sliding top? If so, that’s not really an option for me because I don’t want to lose the space in the back of my truck.

We looked into a nursing home which is roughly $8000 a month. She’s 71 and her total retirement income is around $3000 monthly. I applied for Medicaid and even though she can’t even cover half a months stay at the nursing home, they said she makes too much to qualify.

I work for a nursing home and the Medicaid applications fall under the my department and that’s not how Medicaid works. I would re-talk to them or go talk to another facility. Or you can call Medicaid yourself and talk to a rep. There’s two parts to Medicaid. Below is a brief but pretty accurate summary.

First thing they do is look at her assets that’s in her name, not counting a house or one automobile. So things such as bank accounts, 401(k), whole life, insurance policies, things that she can cash out. That all has a total below $2000 in Louisiana or she has to spend it down until she is below. Different states may have different limits, but it’s still works the same.It could be spent on fixing up her house she owns, burial insurance, burial plot, or at the facility you put her in. Those assets I mentioned have to be below $2000 before she becomes Medicaid eligible.

The second part of the equation is her income, things such asSocial Security, pension, or anything else that she gets paid monthly that has no cash value if she was to pass. If the nursing home bill is $8000, and her income is $3000, she gets a keep $45 of her income and the rest goes to nursing home. Medicaid pays the full difference of the nursing home bill less her payment. It doesn’t matter if her income is one dollar or $7999. They pay the difference of her income less the $45 of the total bill.

That is 100% fact as long as she has a reason to be in a nursing home such as she cannot take care of herself and needs 24 hour care. Again, this is for a nursing home, not assisted living.

Time.

I’m not poor and not rich, but made a good life. Three years away from retirement.

I could be making a lot more money, but whenever I interviewed for a job, asking the hours they worked was always something I asked. If they were 50-60+ hours a week on average, that wasn’t for me. Not counting during initial training/starting or special projects, but on average.

Because of that I coached my son in every sport until he got to high school, made every school function, ate dinner every night with my family, etc.

That’s worth more than any additional dollars I could have earned in my lifetime.

I’m probably gonna get someone to do this for me. Because I also wanna get some nonslip decking added and a few other things done on the boat.

It’s a boat that I bought probably 25 years ago that’s in great shape. Just faded to hell. We only use it during the hunting season and to haul materials to the camp. Use the bay boat otherwise. Going to give it to my son for his first boat. He’s big-time into duck hunting so I wanted to fix it up for him. My years are not as many as I would like and then I’ll probably be done with hunting anyway. So if it was just for me, I would leave it as is.

If anybody else has any suggestions of where else I can get a price at I’d appreciate it. Thanks again for everybody’s input. Also, the free time to do all this myself is a problem too, which is why I just need to write a check for this project. Thanks again.

I don’t need it to limit out by 7 every morning to be worth it. Just another option besides Lafitte. Even if just average hunts.

When we went to Sauvage it was just average hunts too. But like I said in OP, a lot easier just getting out there right before dawn as opposed to 3 am to beat other hunters on public.

Just wanted to see if anyone was familiar with that particular area. Thanks again

I have a Camp and duck lease in Lafite. We also go deer hunting with my FIL in Mississippi. The last few years have been pretty rough as far as hunting goes in Lafitte . So we mainly deer hunted. Last year he became obsessed with duck hunting. My son, who is 15, and I have been making a few hunts in Bayou Sauvage. Did OK this year but man it’s hell getting up trying to beat everybody in public land. I’m trying to get him on some ducks.

I have a chance to pick up a pond in Hopedale. Does anybody hunt that area know if it’s any good in general? Thanks.

The all day rain helped a lot with this issue.
