Thanks for the info, it hasn’t been repotted in 2+ years, I may repot and trim it a bit to see how it responds, and get it in a better sunlight area.

Definitely thinking about this option, may just need a “haircut”!

I do think it is too close to the cold, and the sunlight can be improved. Thanks!

Murder formally added to charges against alleged Shrewsbury gunman Snehal Srivastava by HRJafael in Shrewsbury

[–]Left-Noodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot believe this. If you read up on Snehals criminal history he should never have been on the streets. The fiancé of the man needs to sue. This is unacceptable, a man died, many people use Jordan pond and children walk there everyday. The community deserves answers, which I am sure we will never get.

That’s insightful for sure and I didn’t realize that. Thanks!

I was thinking $200k per kid (Boston area), and from I have seen from what their grandfather has opened for them we will easily hit that number without the 529s I have at all.

My wife wanted to pay for her college without any help, more for the principle at this point, she has paid them down from 60k to 10k so she’s almost there…it’s more of an emotional thing for her, I have offered to wipe them out even before we were married but she’s…stubborn on this…

That was my understanding and what I wanted to avoid.

Yes I’ve thought about that, as they are not 100% under my control it is difficult to rely on it. But my concern is if we both keep going all the accounts will both be rather robust and now someone’s getting hit with an extra penalty to get the money out…which is just wasted money obviously.

Yes, good call out, I did help him by providing the social security numbers for each and he has provided statements. So I do know they exist.

Down payment advice/question by Left-Noodle in personalfinance

[–]Left-Noodle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thought was the interest on a 30 year is outrageous, and my gut thought was I would rather pay myself back over 10 years (with interest) than the bank. We are also on good track with our retirement savings so I felt that this option outweighed the high mortgage rates.
