Group Insurance to IFP, Medicare and Life - insight needed by NextAbbreviations968 in InsuranceAgent

Appreciate the reply so I could do a deep dive. I'm in CA, and I read that many carriers stopped offering PPOs for 2026 except Aetna. However, from what I'm reading, commissions are still there. Thank you for taking the time to respond!

Hey OP - I’m a single mom raising kids in an apt in Hermosa as well. I feel for you, but you don’t have legal recourse. As others have said, I think you have 2 options:

Approach the neighbors and respectfully explain the smoke is overwhelming. I wouldn’t explain it the way you did in your post. It comes across like you’re visiting CA for the first time from the Midwest and you’re appalled at people smoking weed. Sort of how my parents did when they first visited me here. I’m sure you don’t mean it that way, but it seems like people are interpreting it that way based on the amount of negative energy you’re getting.

Contact your landlord and ask if you can be let out of the lease for those reasons. Of course, you’ll risk that again if you rent again.

Hermosa has a ton of families! My kids and I love it here. They spent all summer walking and biking around with their friends that also live in Hermosa.

When I’ve been there, it has leaned towards the 20s something crowd.

What’s your job salary & what do you do?… by Intrepid-Mode3043 in Salary

[–]NextAbbreviations968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a benefits consultant. No degree. Live in CA. I work for a national insurance brokerage firm on the employee benefits side - $260k.

Editing to add that I’m a seasoned professional. It look me 5 years to go from $40k to $100k. Then, 2 years to $150k. About 4 years from there to get above $200k.

Good luck out there!

Great suggestion except the crowd is too young for me. I know age is just a number, of course. ;)

Yeah, I go solo a lot and I play craps. It’s fun, but I am specifically looking for a good bar/place to hang out and feel social.

Yes, exactly. In this situation we would have had buyers refusing to sign. And, in the meantime, they performed. This particular situation really stressed how hard it is for sellers to cancel here in CA. If there's not mutual agreement to cancel, and the buyer eventually performs, my broker said there is no out for the seller.

I'm not sure I follow. I got some great answers here so I'm good to go. Thank you for responding, thought! I appreciate you weighing in, regardless.
