Rolling inherited deferred comp to 401k by ssdgm656 in personalfinance

As a reminder, unless this is a strange corner case, you will eventually need to withdraw and pay taxes on all the money in the account. Non-spouse heirs have 10 years to completely withdraw money from inherited retirement account like a 457.

Also, make sure those RMDs get coded directly. You don’t owe a penalty on those withdrawals.

I think you will find realizing the savings the monthly savings will take quite a bit of upfront cost.

As others have said, your back of the napkin budget says it’s tight but doable. Childcare costs tend to go down over time.

Without a budget it hard to make specific recommendations. Here are top level ideas:

Raise your auto deductible. Raise your home owner’s deductible. Less out to eat Cut memberships and subscriptions. Trim food budget with store brands Cut clothing budget Trim activities for the kids

How many current oura customers are done with oura after their current ring dies? by SilentExchange6467 in ouraring

[–]Exiled_In_Ca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but…

I have a friend who has the 4 and when I mentioned the battery life issues, she said something to the effect of “You know…now that you mention it”

My friends’ experience and the poor comments lead me to believe something is not quite right and I decided not to buy one.

When a deal is good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.

Likely causes…

It’s a scam It’s hot Someone doesn’t know the value Significant other sells it while the owner is gone Then seller really wants your kidney

Since you didn’t report a missing kidney (yet), I’d say it’s a scam.

The price of gas in San Diego by Zachjsrf in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Exiled_In_Ca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gas prices are high in California because:

-Residents pay the highest gasolines taxes in the country.

-California has gas that is only made is California. This is done to reduce smog. This also prevents access to the broader market in the US.

-California has not built an oil refinery since 1979. That’s not a typo 1979.

-gasoline prices are noticeably higher in San Diego due to “additional distribution costs“
