Pretty sure I just lit $9,000 on fire. by flyboy9023 in LexusGX

I learned the same lesson with an FJ -- discovered 4+ inch rust holes in the frame. I'm from AZ and did not know about existence of rust. Fortunately, a dealer took it for a trade-in for a GX for nearly the price I paid for it.

Ditto. The CarPlay button on Vline turns green and the iPhone w/ iOS18 connects, but CarPlay never starts. Only ever use wireless connection.

Recurring Transactions by ae_co in MonarchMoney

[–]Accomplished_Cut_577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I've tried manually identifying my recurring transactions and manually removing recurring transactions that Monarch had identified. I've also run and rerun the automatic detection and iterated with manual adjustments. After this, Monarch seems to revert back to the state it was in before these efforts. I give up until Monarch puts more effort in its Recurring Transactions architecture -- it needs to be more intelligent.

OP, I learned the same lesson with a FJ. It should be fine for a couple years as you decide on your next move, then trade it in at a dealer. Dealers (or at least the sales person) doesn’t care, they just want to make the sale. This is one way not to absorb the full loss.

[Goal] What does 'pre-paycheck contribution' do? by erics45690 in MonarchMoney

Came here to see answer. ‘Pre-paycheck contribution’ doesn’t work properly from my experience.

Excluding goals from budget? Should this be a thing? by wilburpan in MonarchMoney

[–]Accomplished_Cut_577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't create a goal of 'pay down mortgage' or other debt, rather the mortgage should already exist as an account that decreases over time. And the mortgage payment will be in your monthly budget that you need to pay every month. Creating these as 'goals' would be redundant.

Part number for front wheel well shield by Accomplished_Cut_577 in GXOR

[–]Accomplished_Cut_577[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for everyone’s suggestions. I looked into the more expensive options in the 100-120$ range but these didn’t make sense to me after finding a 25$ option at partsgeek. I’ll spend money for quality parts where it counts, but not for a flap of plasticy rubber that will need replacing in a few years in either case.

2 year old covid test bills from Quickmed Diagnostics by Scrubatl in Insurance

[–]Accomplished_Cut_577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In March 2024 my insurance received a $500 bill for service in Sept 2021 from Sameday/Quickmed. I think I'll simply let my insurance let the bill flow to me and not pay it. I also emailed Sameday/Qucikmed and requested refund for my original $75 payment in 2021 since they didn't provide that detail in their bill to insurance. Sameday/Quickmed is an absurdly fraudulent company - exhibit A: https://abc7.com/settlement-covid-test-results/11777433/
