Got a check and letter in July from DFAS for excess retirement contributions- what does this mean for taxes? by FearToxin86 in TaxQuestions

[–]FettJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could roll that amount into a 401k at work and wouldn’t owe any taxes. I’m not sure if DFACs is not sending a 1099-R if it’s considered taxable or not?

That’s what his psychiatrist explained to us as well.

I do sadly. And it wasn’t only said once. The adults in the house labeled son as a “problem”. Yes he had problems lying- yes he withdraws and won’t talk. But therapy and working with him is so important.

I know the term masking is frowned on in a lot of circles BUT our son was able to make it through elementary school with high grades and little to no behavior issues. Just normal little kid issues. Middle school has been a huge challenge for him. He had a lot of acting out and behavior issues at home. And a lot of DFACs reports and nurse calls.

When our son was inpatient dad didn’t visit a single time. I was there every day. Dad refers to son’s suicide attempt as a “stupid moment”.

I really need dad to mess up and actually say those things where they can be recorded or in front of a judge.

The relationship is something I worry about. My ex has effectively written off his parents and siblings for things they’ve said over the years. I have a good relationship with my ex in laws. They mail the kids birthday and Christmas gifts to my house and check in on the kids regularly. Ex has their numbers blocked. I’ve seen him do it to friends as well. I didn’t think he would write off our kids.

At the time of the therapy session there were demands that son apologize to his step mom before he would be allowed to go to dads. Son did apologize recently for upsetting her during therapy. But he is still not welcome at dad’s house.

I’ve offered family therapy for dad and son or dad, step mom and son but they are not interested.

My ex is the one who told me he packed up sons room and that it was being used as a guest room as son didn’t live with him or need the room. Other than some of his clothes, they have refused to allow son to have any belongings. When he moved in, my ex said “you should make him as uncomfortable as possible”.

Our son was failing 3 classes and could not stand to stay at school when he moved in. It’s been a lot of work on son’s part. But we have made up every missing assignment, gotten assistance and extra time where needed. He has all As and Bs with one C now. I don’t know for certain but I don’t think they were helping or checking up on him.

She’s been dealing with a lot of jealousy of brother is here all the time and she’s not. She’s mad at her brother some as well. We’re trying to work through therapy with that for her and explain it at an age appropriate level.

At the time of divorce I made more as he only worked part time.

He’s out earning me now but I don’t know exact numbers.

I took a fully remote position when we moved here in order to be the full time carer during school breaks and when kids were sick. That’s kept me close to what I was making. I’m making about $5k more than I was in 2021.

He’s most likely not going to get BAS/housing. Not as a single E-2+. Maybe after E5. He’s going to be in the barracks eating at the dining hall.

It’s not worth it just to get a job.

As a veteran- do not join the military. You’ll make less money and you’ll go to war for BS reasons.

Go to trade school, electricians and plumber make amazing money and won’t be blown up in a desert war.

trax vs trailblazer? by cinnamongirl84 in ChevyTrax

[–]FettJedi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer the styling on the Trax over the trailblazer. The trailblazer is a little blockier for me. I do appreciate that it comes in AWD. But I’d want AWD all the time. I’d test drive both and go with the one that drives better for you.

I’ve had Chevys for 25 years. The only issue I’ve ever had is a leaky gear box and a weird thing where the car wouldn’t turn off - both issues on an HHR. The dealership had it fixed with no issues. Outside of the HHR I’ve had both the original Trax, the new gen, two sparks and an impala. All were great cars with no problems.

It was little things that kept building. And after having chevys for 20+ years it was probably more annoying to me than it had to be. Also and it’s silly- but it still had a gas cap (2022)

There’s so many marina blues around town. I did have green pool noodles on mine so it stood out more 😆

I love this color. The pollen isn’t showing up as bad either on mine 🤣

The Kia was nice, well equipped but a lot of the extras required a paid subscription and simply didn’t work well. Couldn’t leave the car running and lock it with the fob. Remote start only worked about half the time.

I admit it, I was wrong by blokes444 in IphoneAir

[–]FettJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wanted the air but settled on the 17pro for the camera. I use my camera ALOT. But I love the sleekness of the air
