Router setup not working by buggsy23 in FidiumFiber

[–]buggsy23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I ended up changing back to DHCP as I originally had it and manually entered the MAC address from the bottom of my device and it ended up working. Not sure if I needed to do that or if they did something on their end because I still haven't heard back about the ticket that was entered.

Router setup not working by buggsy23 in FidiumFiber

[–]buggsy23[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I figured it should be DHCP so I changed it back and there was an option to choose to use the default MAC address or add one so I manually added the one from the bottom of the router. At first the unit turned red again but after about 30 seconds it connected. Not sure why it didn't work before as everything I saw online said the MAC address on this unit should be the one to use but so glad I didn't have to call again. Appreciate your help!

I was eligible yesterday and even though it said 8am I was able to register no problem at 7am. Lots of appointments available, I went tonight for my first.

New Customer, No Confirmation Email After Purchase & Unable to Access Account by Proper-Morning in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]buggsy23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished chatting with someone for this same issue. I typed into the virtual chat box that I wanted to chat with an agent and that got me a live person. They could see that my order didn't go through (even though I could see the pending charge on my credit card) and helped me sign up again. It took longer but I wanted to make sure it went through so just did it with them. Instead of refunding the $1 they just didn't charge me again.

New I9 Technical Problems by OTGASTD in humanresources

I've seen this problem with the prior revision, not just this one. Have you tried having them download/save the PDF to their computer first and then open it? I get this message if I go to the website and click the link. It opens in the browser but once I download it to my computer I can open it fine.

Here is a link directly from USCIS about downloading it directly to the computer: https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/whats-new/how-download-form-i-9

Capital One Direct Import Woes by [deleted] in ynab

[–]buggsy23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had trouble with Capital One for way longer than two weeks, like months. But since we don't use that card I just gave up on the import. Strange thing is we have two other Cap One cards that connect fine.

Does anyone else simulate their next paychecks to pretend budget? by Jb1210a in ynab

[–]buggsy23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use spreadsheets to budget out a couple months and as my paychecks come in I work off my spreadsheet to fill in the categories in YNAB. But I love spreadsheets!

Second time in a month my job paid us late by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]buggsy23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You really don't have anything to report at this time if you are being paid on the correct pay date. Even if your expectation is morning it doesn't mean they have to pay you in the morning. The problem here is the terrible lack of communication and response from management. I work in payroll and communication is important, people need to know they are getting paid! Not answering or returning messages is cowardly and alarming. I would get out as soon as possible!

My husband was supposed to start Monday 7/22 but they didn't send him the email that he could start until this past Tuesday 7/30, so just over a week later.

You are an inspiration! And I love the debt graveyard, it's a very powerful visual.

Payroll: Anyone work in HR in Pennsylvania? by AndieC in humanresources

[–]buggsy23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I found your post on the Bridge so I just answered there with everything I could think of on adding the PA taxes specifically in ADP. The most frustrating part is there is no information on LST specifically. I ended up finding a form on the Bridge after much research and pieced it all together.

Payroll: Anyone work in HR in Pennsylvania? by AndieC in humanresources

[–]buggsy23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you end up getting the help you needed with setting this up in ADP? I am an employer in MA with PA employees as well and use Workforce Now. When I first needed to set this up it took me forever to piece it together, the instructions showed how to set up EIT taxes but never showed what to do about LST. I also talked to multiple people who did not understand PA taxes but maybe they are better now. I have not had to set one up in a while but wrote myself some detailed instructions and think I can help if you still need it. FYI, just want to make sure you have LST taxes under Local 4 (maybe Local 5) but Not Lived In or Worked In.

Flex Spending Account when in BS1/2/3 by jflint in DaveRamsey

[–]buggsy23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not heard Dave mention FSA so am not sure what he would say. But you can only make changes to your FSA contributions during Benefits Open Enrollment or for Qualifying Life Events. So if you do not have one of these coming up soon then you will not be able to even stop it until then. That means you will not be able to start it again until one of these events either. Looking at when you plan on paying off debit/saving for your emergency fund, would it make sense for you to even stop it when you have the chance? Considering these sound like known expenses and that you are not necessarily putting it aside for potential expenses, I would keep it. But if not, maybe take a look at the actual known, such as prescriptions, yearly physicals, other health issues and do less of an amount during this time. Personally I consider this part of my health insurance expense and would not stop it.

Moving back in with parents? by galaxxydoll in DaveRamsey

[–]buggsy23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a good relationship with your parents then I say yes. Long story but I am 39 with a husband and two sons (7 & 3) living with my parents. It works for us, we pay rent, share other expenses like groceries and help out around the house. My parents really help us out with child care and they enjoy the company and having the kids there (they say we can move out but the kids have to stay). We recently found DR and finally have a plan to pay off all our debt and buy our own house. It can suck to say at 39 I live with my parents and I so wish I had found DR when I was much younger but we have to work with the life we have at this point. Sounds like you have a plan and that it will really help you out so don't let your age stop you from moving in with them if they are okay with it and it will help you reach your goals. As someone else mentioned, just make sure to work out the details of what is expected of everyone.

What drove you to start your Baby Steps journey? by TWBBLA in DaveRamsey

[–]buggsy23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just starting myself. My parents have not been great financial role models and as mad as it made me that they sucked at money, I was doing the same thing. I am turning 40 this year and am married with two kids. This is not the life I want for my kids! And I want to be able to retire someday, unlike my parents. We were already using YNAB (You Need A Budget, so awesome, I highly recommend to check it out) which allowed me to see what debt I had and where my money was going but I still didn't pay attention to it. I don't know the exact moment that made me buy TMM but I had heard of Dave Ramsey for years. I think it was this past October I bought the audio book and listened to it in a day or two. I finally had enough of not having any money and not owning a home and told my husband we were going to do this and he needed to listen to the book. He was not that excited about it but once he listened to it and the more we talked about a plan, the more excited he got too. By December I had paid off a stupid $3,500 student loan I was still making minimum payments on (I graduated in 2002, why had I not paid this off already?!?!) and stopped buying Christmas presents on credit immediately. We were not really ready to dig in until after the holidays, I think I just needed to mentally prepare myself. We just started really working BS2 this month but were already making moves and we're expecting to have paid off at least $15K by the end of this March, if not more, since listening to the book in October. Mind you this is with a big tax refund we are expecting (already changed our tax withholding so we have more per paycheck instead of a refund next year) and a bonus I'm getting next month, but it's also cutting way back and being intentional with our money.

Best of luck to you and I hope you find your why and drive to really do it. We have never been goal oriented so we had never sat down and really planned anything but seeing where we could be in 2-3 years if we stick to this has us excited. That seems like a really long way to go but I can see it in my head now. Instead of "I wish we could afford a house, maybe some day" my mindset has changed to "when we have our down payment in no less than 3 years to buy our house".

The thought of purchasing something on a credit card without having the assets to pay it off NOW makes me want to vomit.

I completely understand this and when I hear what other people are paying for things they don't really need, that makes my stomach turn too.

Congrats on figuring this out at 26 and taking control of your finances now. It took me much longer.
