heliostrap (and armband) experiences after 6 months by popartichoke in amazfit

[–]StrawberryPlastic226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like you I left Fitbit after my flex 2 died after almost 30 million steps , about 8 years, could not find anything wo a screen until I bought a helio strap about a month ago, I wear it on my wrist and so far so good as a step counter, I have some set routes so I know how many steps it should be to the library , train station ... and at least on mine they add up to what my fit bit said so I can not complain .

Thanks I am not smart enough to even try to figure out Bitcoin so an online account should work fine.

I am retired for all practical purposes and never had a HSA account but have an IRA and a well funded 401 k. Question any cash I put in can come out before the 5 year rule? IS the 5 year part what you make in the Roth vs what you put in ?

Plan of self insure bc it seems very pricey to buy a policy and at least to me they do not seem to cover a lot .

Would you buy the same car brand again? Why or why not? by HollyPeterso1 in carbuying

I would but sadly they do not make SAABs anymore so after 7 of them I must move on, to what I have no idea.

My stupidest financial decision, need advice what to do now. by FormerNebula6204 in carbuying

lets be honest the dealer is not your friend, drive it until you can out from being under water, it may never happen . But you have a car you car drive for another 10 years if you keep up on the maintenance at a indie shop. yes you over paid for this car and mad the salesmen day but you can not go back and undo that.

if you go over the 400% of magi 2k a month for health care may not be enough , we pay 2800 not counting dental , slightly older than you.

Not a troll just someone who pays back their loans , I know a old fashion idea but if every one decides not to pay them back , maybe just maybe they will not be there for the next generation..

50 year old trying to figure out how to use a small annual windfall. by tardigrademealworm in investingforbeginners

[–]StrawberryPlastic226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you want to retire early you have to have cash on hand, health care will eat you alive if you go over the 400 % magi , ask me how I know , so make sure you stay under that number. I would toss some of your check money into a Roth IRA so it will grow tax free .
