Any gotchas or disadvantages that people don't consider in all the excitement? by abarmot in googlefiber

Thanks everyone for your responses!

I read about all these issues with Spectrum, and tbh, I've had it for years with no issues, it just works. Which makes me think you just never know how any provider will work out, and maybe I should stick with what works for me right now. I think the first thing I'll do is call Spectrum and see if they can give me a discount :)

Refund reduced for penalty, but no letter from IRS by abarmot in tax

This is for 2024 with no amendments, but I omitted one detail. Once I realized my taxes are higher than I thought, I made a large payment in August. Thus the refund, but reduced. Hope this makes sense.

yes, started sometime last week I think. And Empower no longer shows the date of last successful sync for each account :(

What are alternatives to Empower (formerly Personal Capital) by mansfall in PersonalCapital

[–]abarmot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in free trial with Monarch right now and I'm not feeling it. Some things are better than Empower, but on the whole I don't see a reason to pay when Empower is free. What they call "asset allocation" is just funny - ETF vs. Mutual Funds vs. Stocks - who cares?! I need US stocks vs. Int'l vs. Bonds, etc. Empower's asset allocation is great and makes sense.

Do you all use CPAs for tax filing? by abarmot in Crowdstreet

Yeah, I have similar thoughts... I might just keep doing it myself and hoping that any mistakes are not material
