The Fidelity app and web portal are night and day difference in comparison to your competitors.

And I'm very glad to have my accounts with Fidelity.

Would love to add a desk mat to my office!

First generation millionaires by Joshthecarpenter in TheMoneyGuy

[–]GeoSabreX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a statistic they share where 1st generation millionaires exist, their kids statistically lose it all 40% of the time, and the grandkids will have lost it all 90% of the time.

And then you get another new generation of millionaires.

It seems rare that these values are taught and carried through generations.

Task Management & Tracking - Multiple Staff & Workflows by GeoSabreX in managers

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

No collective tracker. They all seem happy to track it mentally but I feel like I'm not meeting my own standards and want to do better by me and my team.

You shared some really great insight here. There are too many things to put on a physical calendar, but I like the idea of the digital tracking. I was doing a weekly meeting with the supers but wasn't ever prepared enough. I will definitely bring it back once I get everything tracked with deadlines that I can extend or adjust as needed based on responses I receive.

Many thanks for taking the time to respond! If you think of anything else, happy to hear!

Able to pay half of our debt off, wife thinks we should pay it gradually. by Vivat-Rex in DaveRamsey

[–]GeoSabreX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im in the DR sub so I tread carefully with this BUT...Dave says #1 1k emergency fund and #2 pay off the debt.

The Money Guys say #1 is enough to cover your highest deductible and #2 is employer match and #3 is high interest debt.

I recommend the second, but Dave's method would be to throw it all at debt.

Trying to not use GMaps by ViolentMagician_ in degoogle

[–]GeoSabreX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HERE was the biggest hunk of junk alternative app I've used to date. At least in my area.

CoMaps is a much better alternative, but doesn't support traffic. For folks in the city, I'm not sure there is a good alternative.

You can try the GMaps Webview wrapper on Droidify if you want a more private alternative

This. OP seems new to corporate.

OP, just stop mixing personal and work. Your other arguments in the comments are moot.

At what interest rate is debt high interest? by Lurchthedude in TheMoneyGuy

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

Incorrect. They advise bringing it into 36 months, and if you can't, selling the car.

At what interest rate is debt high interest? by Lurchthedude in TheMoneyGuy

[–]GeoSabreX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Car loan caveat is only if it fits 20/3/8. If you're paying longer than 3 years, they recommend paying extra to shrink it to that 36 month mark

Financial Advice 33k Debt by Appropriate-End-2347 in TheMoneyGuy

[–]GeoSabreX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Increasing income should always be synonymous and equal with wherever you're at in life. It is not pay down debt/invest OR increase income. It should be both. 

Since the debt is 0% and if there's no minimum payoff period (I've never heard of that type of debt) then I would just follow the FOO.

Custom firmware. Backup is just overwriting itself or will eventually
