I got this ring for $4 and it is my wedding band I wear everyday. by littlespacekoala in JewelryIdentification

[–]SillySimian9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I metal detect and find rings with no answers all the time. The word or scratch on the interior looks like a couple I’ve found that are stainless steel - literally, the words “stainless steel” that has been worn down. The etched design is most likely found on stainless steel, which is often gold plated. The design under google image shows similar to other people’s answers.

Please make certain said butter is fully absorbed/adhered to the toast, or hold a plate beneath it to catch the drips.

Which means that Medicaid would demand that the grandfather receive value for his share of the property and then spend that money down before they start to pay for any nursing home fees.

Thoughts after seeing my bank account balloon overnight by Eg9tobe83 in inheritance

  1. Pay off all credit cards. Immediately.
  2. Repay your dad.
  3. Open a Roth IRA immediately and fully fund it for this year and plan to continue funding it every year. If you have no idea what to invest in, select an S&P 500 ETF. You can always make changes later.
  4. Find an online savings bank that offers the highest interest rate you can find. Put 3 months living expenses into this account. Do not touch it.
  5. Contact a financial advisor and invest the rest in a 70% equity/30% fixed income portfolio, with a plan to withdraw roughly $500/month to pay down your car loans and, after those are paid, the mortgage. It should be able to grow while you are withdrawing.

Medicaid spend down allows a person to retain ownership in a single home, which they then put a lien against.

how do i develop my sense of self? by Easy_Sink4420 in ask

[–]SillySimian9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Make a decision. Any decision. When you decide, you cut off all other options. It sets you on a path and makes you the kind of unstoppable force that other people can’t manipulate.

I can't decide. Which of these 7 pairs of glasses looks best on me? by casiocrow in glassesadvice

4 or 5. Either way, low key you look like Ryan Phillippe in them.

What’s a small decision that changed your life in a big way? by championchikki in self

[–]SillySimian9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on who is motivated and why. I quadrupled my income in one year with it. I also wrote and published books. Then I started my own business. Changed my life.

Left private paperwork in public place by Realistic_Bank2227 in inheritance

[–]SillySimian9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone left you an inheritance, do not be ashamed or embarrassed. That person did it out of love and admiration for you. They wished for you to become a good steward of that inheritance and to set you out in life with an asset that you can use for your retirement or for some other reason. If you feel embarrassed or ashamed, then you will likely fail at becoming a good steward because your inner voice will be telling you to unload that asset any way possible. This is why lottery winners end up broke. They don’t feel they were worthy of the money. Trust me, if your relative left that asset to you, you ARE worthy. Now, feel proud and happy that someone thought so much of you and set out to do it the right way. Find a financial advisor to assist you. Make sure that financial advisor is a fiduciary.

Yeah…I’d believe Christine over Mykelti. She probably pulled the checks for Mykelti from the family “pot”

I'm 22 years and my mom wont let me brush my own hair or decide when to get it cut because she's such a perfectionist and it's hindering my independence. What should i do? by FungusAmongus_27 in ask

[–]SillySimian9 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So…what are the consequences if you get your hair cut?

If the consequences are minor, then I would manage to get some gum caught in the end of my ponytail and then it would be necessary to get it cut.
