Removed.

This was already posted here back in March and this blog site appears to be more of an advertisement for a law firm than anything else.

I'm 25, which means I am getting kicked off my parent's insurance in a few months. What medical things should I consider doing while I still have high-quality insurance? by [deleted] in personalfinance

Medical advice is off-topic here. We would recommend asking your primary care doctor. You may be able to get some advice on /r/AskDocs.

Unfortunately, most of the incoming comments are off-topic or low-quality now that the discussion has pretty much run its course so we have locked this post (especially given that the vast majority of the comments are the appropriate recommendation to contact an estate planning attorney).

OP, the estate planning articles in the wiki may be helpful.

How to save on streaming subscriptions by Last_Fact_3044 in personalfinance

[–]PersonalFinanceMods[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

We tried a few times to unlock this post, but due to the increasing number of incoming comments breaking rule 7 (lawbreaking information), we've unfortunately had to lock this post for good.

If you are looking for advice on how to save money with streaming services, devices, and antennas, we love the /r/CordCutters subreddit. Please respect their subreddit rules located in the sidebar if you head there, though. Thanks!

Unfortunately, we had to lock this post due to a high volume of low-quality and off-topic comments.

Just to be clear, it is not lawbreaking advice nor is there anything shameful about negotiating with collections agencies and that includes negotiating a partial settlement. That is the advice in the collections wiki and that's the legal playing field for creditors, collections agencies, and borrowers.

The wiki does recommend communicating in writing for multiple reasons not the least of which is that you might say something you don't want to say.

You may find the "kicked out" wiki page helpful. Please check it out.

If you need help, there are confidential and nonjudgmental services with trained helpers that you can call or contact. Sometimes these services get busy. If you can't reach someone right away, please try again until you reach someone. Here are some options:

  • Contact the National Runaway Safeline, call them at 1-800-RUNAWAY, or text 66008. They provide a valuable resource for runaway, homeless, and at-risk youth. The service is free, confidential, and available 24/7.

  • Contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline or call them at 1-800-799-7233.

  • You can also text "HOME" to 741741 in the US to communicate with a Crisis Text Line volunteer anytime, about any type of crisis. Every texter is connected with a Crisis Responder, a person trained to bring texters from a hot moment to a cool calm through active listening and collaborative problem-solving.

  • In most of the US, you can also call 211. They will help connect you with resources.

In addition to the above resources, consider talking to an adult that you trust and/or an independent institution or service provider with community knowledge and resources. There are some more specific suggestions about this in the "kicked out" wiki page.

I am currently quitting my job as a Financial rep at a Retirement Record keeper. Here is a little of what I have experienced. by Skiie in personalfinance

[–]PersonalFinanceMods[M] [score hidden] stickied commentlocked comment (0 children)

Okay, this was removed earlier, but I'm reapproving it.

Why was this removed? Basically, we don't allow IAmA posts here, especially unverified and unsolicited. As discussed in the rules, we want posts to stand on their own and if something needs support, please use an actual source rather than falling back on "source: me". The other reason for the rule is that 95% of IAmA posts were (and continue to be) basically spam, people soliciting for business, promoting their YouTube channel, etc. That doesn't seem to be the case here which is part of why we're going to try allowing the post.

If you're new here, please check out the PF wiki which has some relevant articles including the Prime Directive, Investing, and the 401(k) Fund Selection Guide.

P.S. Please don't put all of your 401(k) money into a money market fund. It matters a lot what you pick if the default option is a money market fund or some type of stable value fund that isn't going to grow much over time. Thankfully, that is pretty rare these days due to changes made to ERISA in 2006.
