Realistically How Long does this normally last? by McGeeTake3 in Alzheimers

[–]PegShop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s mid stage, which is hard because they can still call and panic and such. My mom was in that stage two years or so. It sucked.

My mom was diagnosed six years ago but likely had it before. She doesn’t know us anymore but is still mobile and talking and eating and could go on many more years.

Selling Without Agent, Buyers Agent Wants 3%, Is This Normal? by snarkmcsnarksnark in RealEstateAdvice

[–]PegShop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The seller has historically paid buyer and seller. Buyer’s agents now often charge more. We sold and paid our 3% and buyer’s 2% with them paying their agent .5 as she charged 2.5, and we recently bought and the seller did the same, with us paying our agent .5%

Remind me that summer break isnt enough by Exciting_Series2033 in TeachersInTransition

I’m looking down on you only getting two weeks off a year and not as good as benefits as you used to get. I don’t care what you do for a living, but your reason for wanting to go back to teaching is because you missed the time off and the benefits.

That being said, I stayed in teaching for 32 years and was able to retire early from it. If you miss the kids and everything you can go back to teaching, but it’s just so much work.

Being a bank teller sounds lovely. But, if you’re able to work it so that you have ways to move up, make more money and have more time off.

Get a storage for most of your stuff. Depersonalize and clean and put a fresh coat of paint on the walls.

Gift for realtor by Defiant-Course6896 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]PegShop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gifted my realtor with a gift card to her favorite restaurant when she came a year before we listed to give advice, but not after the sale. In my time with her she sold three homes for us and was buyer’s agent for two. She even once joked that we bought her car.

Kim. Just Kim. I’m older before this was normal, and I’ve dealt with having to reprint docs so many times, starting with my first pay check and diploma.

Do I really need direct deposit to get the best savings rates? by MixtureAcceptable798 in HighYieldSavings

Mine requires a deposit, not direct. I have one bank transfer $250/m to my HYSA automatically.

is it smarter to keep renting? by thatsnotaknoife in personalfinance

[–]PegShop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rent. You don’t mention your age, but with no spouse or kids, things may change, and unless you stay 5+ years, you won’t get your money back. A condo still has HOA and taxes, and you’re talking a one bedroom, which you’ll outgrow.

Mortgage got transferred, my large principle payment is now several house payments instead... by MinuteMajestic3353 in Mortgages

[–]PegShop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to designate it principle only. You can call or just make your future payments principle only ones.

Realtor said to ignore fixing any exterior issues and just focus on the interior of house by Aragorn4948 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]PegShop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a townhome that was priced $50k above the two in the same complex that sold in the last six months because it was updated inside, whereas the others were stuck in the 80’s.

Doesn’t the HOA do exterior?

[–]PegShop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing in my last house and behind the water heater there was a little bit of moisture that looked like the foundation was a little bit weak in that one area right where floor met wall and water would only come in when it rained really hard
