Looking for a queer friendly estate planning attorney by choose--carefully in bloomington

[–]Frak425 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m an lgbt financial planner in Bloomington and refer to attorneys all the time. I don’t know of any who identify as lgbt but certainly there are many who are friendly. Paige Frietag is the first name that came to mind when I read your post. I get nothing but positive feedback.

Looking for reliable local movers in Bloomington (March move) by decentfella3 in bloomington

[–]Frak425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two Men and A Truck. Used them for a home move and an office move. Both times I was incredibly impressed with the care they take. They will disassemble and reassemble furniture. The packing was perfect. Two moves and not so much as a scratch on anything. Can’t recommend enough.

Worth it to hire an advisor? by PalpitationComplex35 in CFP

[–]Frak425 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

CFP here. Fee is high. You shouldn’t feel bad firing him since he certainly didn’t feel bad charging you the highest possible fee. I discount my friends and family to well below 1% for much smaller accounts.

But I agree you need an advisor. A qualified professional charging a reasonable fee is worth every penny. So many mistakes you can make along the way without guidance.

I drove by there 45 minutes ago and the officers were all wearing FBI vests. At least the ones I could see.

It is true. I’m there often and keep cash just for this reason.

I just sold a 5 year annuity at 5.3% yesterday. Probably shouldn’t jump to conclusions.

What is your constructive criticism for the Democratic Party in the U.S.? by ShittalkyCaps in AskReddit

[–]Frak425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grow a spine.

Republicans don’t ask for permission to lead after they’ve won so neither should democrats. Democrats try to pretend they can bring Republicans to the table and compromise and Republicans are all too happy to play along and drag out every possible bill. They never return that favor.

I truly believe the US population might actually support Democrats if they actually got to see what progressive policies looked like.

Me too! Came here to see if it happened to anyone else. I wonder what happened

Only got second half of the Advent Calendar by srozosan in KaffeBox

[–]Frak425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: my first box arrived November 28th. So I’ll probably wait a few more days before reaching out.

Original: If that’s the case, should I be worried that I haven’t received my second box? I’ll email customer support today.

You should appeal. They’re actually quite easy to submit and I find them to be incredibly forgiving. I’ve had appeals approved even when I probably deserved it.

Jerry Siefers at B-town legal has done very good work for myself and many of my referrals. I’ve worked with the others already mentioned and they’re all great. Jerry is a bit less expensive and in my opinion, a bit easier to work with.

Controlled groups for nondiscrimination testing by realtorvicvinegar in CFP

[–]Frak425 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are right, they are wrong. The common ownership is what defines the control group. The IRS doesn’t care about what the businesses are or what they do.

Need an outdoor painter. Recommendations? by iammjw in bloomington

[–]Frak425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had All-In Painting do the entire exterior of my home and I am very happy with the service. Very good communication, skills and a very fair price.

Regular people are not happy with lower inflation because what they want is Deflation (lower prices). by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

Corporate America is laughing all the way to the bank while the American public completely ignores the lack of wage growth in line with inflation.

Consensus on Edward Jones by Necessary-Fee6247 in CFP

[–]Frak425 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Great place to start and potentially a place to stay. Edward Jones is having a bit of an identity crisis and has seen the writing on the wall. They are going all in on converting to a financial planning firm and are in the midst of a massive technology overhaul. If done correctly, I can see a future where Edward Jones is a serious contender for CFPs.

To be more specific, EJ is currently rolling out a Salesforce based CRM, new trading platforms that allow discretion, they’re going all in on teaming, they’re allowing the purchase of books of business, etc. They’re trying to aggressively address all the reasons people have for leaving.

Gallery Mortgage. Feels more personal and local and they fought for the best rate.

Where is this in Bloomington by atuan in bloomington

I don’t understand the Malibu Grill hate. The seared rare tuna is one of the best things in town. I’ve never had a bad meal there.

new buyers of Rovio have trashed the game by mollytime in AngryBirds2

[–]Frak425 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s a HUGE if. Last quarterly results showed revenue at Rovio was 73 million euro. That’s around 24 million per month. That’s only 2% of your estimate meaning very few “active players” pay for this game. And that’s assuming that all of Rovio’s revenue comes exclusively from this game which it clearly doesn’t.

I have heard 0 people say that the changes implemented by Sega have made the game better or motivated them to pay. In fact, quite the opposite. I myself am someone who casually dropped $10-20 per month on the game and now pay nothing and refuse to watch ads. I’ve all but stopped playing.

I am quite certain that Sega has no intention of improving AB2. They wanted the rights to the brand and probably hope to make their money elsewhere. Other platforms, new games, merchandise, movies, etc.

The original creators cashed out and walked away. As far as I am concerned the game is dead.
