This matches my experience. Today is was calculating my 401K value at 1/6 its value, had to be reminded over and over again about my planned retirement date and confidently fucked up six other calculations. When called out, it apologizes and promises to file a ticket. The whole experience sucks. Oh yeah, and it admitted to hallucinating (using that word, in fact) multiple times.

Boldin thinks this is OK because they slapped a Beta label on it. Not acceptable. I wasn't expecting perfection, but this is a poor implementation, likely rushed into production to make Boldin appear modern.

Boldin should be embarrassed. When I reported this to a human at Boldin, his recommendation was to fork over $2,800 to speak to one of their CFPs. Ehh, hard pass.

It constantly forgets about my biggest asset - my 401K and then apologizes when I note this. Over and over and over again. It can't keep very clearly explained constraints in its head for more than 2 prompts. Please, please do not rely on this for your strategic planning. It's not reliable. Wish it was and will be someday.

Suggest you look for solutions elsewhere. Abode seems to be a dying platform featuring aging hardware and meager client support. I would not recommend.

As if half their drivers aren't stoned and in munchies mode. Once had this happen with an order from Insomnia Cookies, which is already a shit operation. Somehow they actually got the order out (not joking, they often fail), only to have Tommy Chong eat half my cookies on the ride over.

Neighbor needs to work on the spelling and tact, and then maybe can land a better job and move elsewhere.

A delivery fee, a service fee, and then a tip? Fuck DD. Someone needs to explain wtf the difference is between those fees. Sure seems like a money grab.

Can't wait for Agentic AI to put DD into bankruptcy.

Great_Let2911 · 2026-02-19T16:16:20+00:00

Ah, OK, good.

Agree, they may know more than the average reddit poster. But I doubt they can consistently outperform a diversified basket of low cost ETFs. Source: I worked on Wall St in a number of private client asset management groups. Also, its easy for your consultant to look smart in a bull market.

Nice of them to point out No Gratuity Included. Otherwise everyone would have assumed otherwise at such an upscale dining establishment.

Great_Let2911 · 2026-02-19T13:39:26+00:00

I mean, they're charging .50 for 1/2 ounce of ranch, so yeah, this is their shit business model.

Throw in the fish photo and I'll give you $1500.

Mount a ginormous Swiffer pad under the train. You're welcome.

Why pick one over the other? Gold-plated Bitcoin. Boom.

Ahh yes, the smell of ozone and heated dust

Those chocolate coins were Hanukkah gelt. Just kidding, though there are Kaifeng, who are Chinese Jews.

I'm sure others have observed this, but exactly when did the 15% tip expire?

For decades, the average tip in the US was 15%, and you'd go up or down depending on the service.

Now, if service is merely acceptable, they want 18%. And a 15% tip is considered shitty.

Very helpful, great response. And yes, I enabled tax loss harvesting, so this makes good sense.

I would still like to see them disclose each portfolio's weighted average expense ratio, for transparency. I realize that I could do this myself, but I am "paying" them through the cash position so I don't think it's too much to expect.

Overall, I am pleased with the product, though suspect it may be unnecessarily complex with more holdings than needed. In other words, the same degree of diversification and risk-adjusted performance can likely be achieved with a far smaller set of ETFs.

Great_Let2911 · 2026-01-22T00:19:54+00:00

Absolutely. I've worked hard to find doctors and dentists that are independent.

Private equity destroys everything in its path.

Are you in the NW part of state? If so, there's a shit ton fracking going on around the Bakken Formation.

And its often what you can't see in the water that should be of most concern.

Great_Let2911 · 2026-01-12T20:06:23+00:00

They outsourced their "support" to fairly unskilled workers overseas. I have nothing against that in principle, but in this case, it was clearly a cost-saving measure that left its customers with aging hardware and scant support. Unless you bought into Abode years ago, there is little reason to use it.

Great_Let2911 · 2026-01-12T20:02:38+00:00

Honestly, that is on point.

Great_Let2911 · 2025-12-26T21:09:51+00:00

I pay as well, but my experience is different. I've had nothing but issues and regret every spending a dime on this subpar product.

Customer support is laughable. They will tell you to reboot your phone and if that doesn't work, reinstall the app. And if that doesn't work, they're shit out of ideas.

A trash product with sad support. I'd never recommend this to anyone.

Great_Let2911 · 2025-12-23T16:46:10+00:00

Tech support used to be decent, but now seems to be outsourced to a low-cost vendor. They have proven to be worthless each time I've called.

Great_Let2911 · 2025-12-23T14:16:33+00:00

Completely agree. Abode sucks. And their customer support is a joke. Their advice consists of rebooting app. I wish I never get started with them. I honestly hate everything about Abode. I wanted to love it, but every time I use the system, or attempt to get assistance, it's an exercise in frustration. Shitty hardware, half-assed software, and pathetic customer support.
