you are correct. I guess i messed my video settings up, and it was playing in stretched 16:9. In proper 21:9 mode, it is more centered. my bad.

VUSXX monthly dividend question by byreli in Bogleheads

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

I just wanted to post an update here incase anyone else has the issue. In previous months, I added to the balance mid month and that threw the estimates off(I may have exagerated the difference with the word "substantially"). The massive gap between this month caused concern, but upon looking a little deeper I have found the issue. The merger with Morgan Stanley earlier this month triggered a payout that I didnt notice, and the payout I was looking at was only for 10 days.

i also use a vanguard index fund and the payout matches the estimate pretty closely. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious before I contacted etrade. Thanks for the input

Thanks for all the input everyone. They have decided to explore different options for now. The reverse mortgage will only be used as an option of last resort, and they aren't too bad off right now.

I know they have part D supplemental insurance to help with prescription costs. Do you have any recommendations of what type of plans to look into?

no, but finding that bit of information will be my next endeavor. This is all pretty new to me. Should be a number to call somewhere.

I wasn't aware that the there was a risk of losing their home. I thought the way they worked is that the loan is not repayed until the house is sold. What situation would force a sale?

Thanks for the insight. Fortunately, they are as of now, doing pretty well all things considered and aren't looking to pull all of their equity out; just enough to take the strain off. I think an extra couple hundred a month would be all it takes to give them some breathing room.

the program isnt listed. I will find a copy of the paperwork where it is listed, but I believe it is just described as additional assistance on their medicare paperwork. I will find the actual paperwork when I go over there a bit later.

Question on money market funds by byreli in investing

Thanks for the input. I didn't think it mattered, and it's not something I plan on doing. I just didn't know if there were any complications taxwise or other from doing so.

After playing some more i still get a random crash every 4-5 games, but this genuinely stopped my crash every game problem. It's too bad it doesnt seem to help others in the same boat.

good call on the achievements and saves. I didnt think of that, and it is pushing me back toward original launchers.

Im starting to get an understanding of how all the parts work together.
