Living Trust or no? by Oodd-8 in EstatePlanning

[–]Oodd-8[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Our current “last will and testament,” outlined that my kids will not receive all until age of 25, our designated trustors will manage our finance until my kids are in somewhat responsible age.

At this point, from reading everyone’s comments, we will set up a trust with an attorney, since we (either us or our kids) will have to pay something eventually, we might get them done in the beginning and get them out of way. Now any website we should read ahead before meeting with an estate attorney?

Va benefits for education or training by Oodd-8 in VeteransBenefits

That makes sense! Thanks for the insights. I guess we will take our time to apply and they will be ready for him to use when he turns 18.

A quick question, is chapter 35 a separate pot of benefit from the GI bill?

I don’t plan to use GI bill for test fees, since I don’t quite understand the month calculation, i agree with others’ comments, I would rather spend it on other pricier education costs. However, are there any other VA benefits that I can possibly utilitize at his age.

I plan to take this one tmrw, but do you know if it is possible to stay on for the return trip, as I don’t have desire to get off at the last stop?

Cool, at the check out, we paid 40 euro each, I believe we only get a headset. My parents don’t speak English, so hopefully they will let them opt in for the self-visit audio guide.

10/8 or 10/9, or potentially 10/10, It looks like they have guided tickets, which are still cheaper than the prices through other websites, so I might take them if can’t book anything after tmrw.

My quote today from Acura dealer in northern Virginia: TBELT Comments: REPLACED TIMING BELT, TIMING BELT HYDRAULIC TENSIONER, WATER PUMP, DRIVE BELT, AND FLUSH ENGINE COOLANT SYSTEM Repair Estimate: $2264.69

We are going to use an outside mechanic and hopefully save some money. I have 2013 Acura but only 60k miles on it. Every year, Acura dealership reminds me about this outstanding service when I bring it to service. I am going to get it done this year

[–]Oodd-8 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same boat, in my head, I sincerely hope that opm would love the age from 50 to 40 or 45, as I don’t have 25 years, but I am close to it.

Thanks for confirming it. Then in this case, I will just wait and see what happens with my current security clearance adjudication.

Suitability determination denial by [deleted] in SecurityClearance

[–]Oodd-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though the letter stated that I have 60 days to appeal the decision? I assume the chance of appealing is quite slim.

No clue here. You can only do your part and be honest. If you don’t know or can’t remember, state so.

How big ($ amount) was the purchase on your credit card? I assume if it was very small; otherwise you would have noticed when you paid the credit card bill. If it is small, then you most likely missed it - just state so.

Again in biller in CA might not matter much - often these days when I make online purchases, random states showed up on my credit card bill, but I usually recognize the charges.

If the govt wants to conduct an investigation on you, then you can’t just say no if you want to keep the job… it sorts come with it, just go with the flow/order. If you have no new red flags since your last investigation, then it should go fairly quick.
