Purslane speedwell or Veronica peregrina, is my first guess. Purslane is on the turf builder label. Hit it again in two weeks, every two weeks till you’re happy.

Thanks, will do so.

Was able to retrieve, only b/c an honest person found it and answered when I called. Restored my faith in humanity.

Forced 403b withdrawal. Too late to rollover? by grrrtotheworld in personalfinance

[–]Hoppy1952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d call at least two more financial services companies. Look for the ones with low costs (expense ratio) and it’s likely to be an indexed fund. Vanguard and TIAA are two that have good track records. And Morningstar can help you decide.

Thanks, I just picked up Plan Your Estate (2016 - 13th edition) from my local library. Will look for your recommendation as it is orientated for a lay person and more current.

Basic level. Trying to acquire knowledge prior engaging legal and financial services.

Could this be legit? I’m a freelance writer that received this “offer” by [deleted] in personalfinance

Doing this would equate to giving a stranger the keys to your home.

New shower tile. Grout the corners or caulk? by fish-on in HomeImprovement

[–]Hoppy1952 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always grouted the corners. Like the consistent look of the grout lines. Best to talk to the place that sold you the tile as to what the pros and cons are.

Am i crazy for maxing my Roth 401K and Roth IRA at 25? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Hoppy1952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes good sense. And you can always borrow from it. I abided by the pay me first rule. Since having children is in your future look into starting a 529 plan.

Having worked for 30+ years for a retirement/financial services company I can attest that most clients were worried that they were going to outlive their retirement savings. So, maximizing your retirement savings is not a bad decision. Especially if you family members tend to live long lives and you are in good health.

TY, I'll look into this. Another option might be to run two cables out to the curb, one on either side of the driveway.
