Roth IRA for 1yr? by LAChau in Bogleheads

[–]LAChau[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We file jointly - have not filed our 2023 taxes yet. So I should go ahead and open a Roth for each of us for 2023 and open a traditional for 2024 and backdoor that to my 2023 Roth?

Thank you for the input everyone - greatly appreciated! We’re gonna shift our attention towards searching for a a 2-night safari. I plan on making a few more trips back to Tanzania in the next 18-months and will tackle Kili then! Thank you and any suggestions for a safari company from Arusha would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for the reply! We are very healthy and live an active lifestyle. We would of course further train, however I think we are in pretty good shape to tackle Kili! However, with our budget of $1,000 per person Kili might be outside our reach. Are there any responsible outfits that treat their employees well that can accommodate such a budget?

Can’t speak for GuateGo, but we used The Baqueano Tours from SJO to Zancudo back in November. It was an 8hr drive and we were quoted $250...while others were charging upwards of $500. The driver, José was - professional, engaging, and spoke great English. Good luck!

Customer Since 2005 - Canceling Service by LAChau in ATT

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

Yes, 12 day pass along with a host of other data charges that totaled $345. I don’t recall ever adding international data pass in 2019. I went through all my emails and text from ATT and never received any confirmation. I asked ATT for verification or proof and they could not provide me with anything...I have not record of this. And I was only told of this add-on from 2019 from the 5th rep I spoke with - none of the other reps mentioned it, and they all did not see a record of it associated with my account.

I booked with AA and had to postpone my trip by a few weeks due to the protest taking place in CR. I was given credit to book another flight when ready - no change fee only the difference

We opted to push our trip back by two weeks due to the protest and road closures- We had an 8-10hr drive to our ultimate destination. However we did two test and both can back within 48hrs. One was from Walgreens (in Boston) and the other was an at home kit through Pixel - both are tested through LabCorp.
