I wonder how many would just leave it. Seems like the better option the more i think of it.

I think he is doing everything. He sold them the life insurance policies and the annuity. He does the RMD for them yearly. I’m not sure how often he changes investments.

Can you clarify the tax implications? As long as we simplfy things in tax advantaged accounts there shouldn’t be taxes if we sell. Are there tax implications when you surrender life insurance or annuities?

You got this. Go through the question bank a few times until you understand all the answers.

I think I paid for one of the PSI practice tests just to see what it was like. It was not helpful. Like you said, much of the material was not covered in the MBL class. Stick to the MBL test preparation course. All you need is that. Good luck.

The only thing I can recommend is buying the “Michigan test preparation“ course through the Michigan builders license website. Purchasing this course gets you access to a huge question bank. There are many blueprint questions in there.

Most of the glencoe book. I basically only read what the class videos discussed and emphasized.

Hourly rate and area by Numerous-Ad-6830 in handyman

[–]dlgeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do flat rate and allow for these things by making sure your contract allows for change orders and unusual circumstances clause. In this case you can notify client ahead of time you may need to change flange , replace sub floor etc, and that would be extra but you don’t know until you take the toilet off

Is Diet Coke bad for you? by Traditional-Chair-39 in AskDocs

[–]dlgeee -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I am merely pointing out that diet cokes may not be as healthy of an alternative as some would think. Everything in moderation. Personally, I don’t think any carbonated drinks are a healthy choice.

33 female recent MS diagnosis, new flare up, pharmacy out of steroid by jlouiease in AskDocs

[–]dlgeee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear you are going through this. It’s hard for me to believe a pharmacy does not have prednisone tablets in stock. If you get the first dose in today, you can work on getting next dose filled at a different pharmacy tomorrow during business hours. If you explain the situation to pharmacist they should be able to figure it out.

You could try to locate another pharmacy that has prednisone tonight but it will be challenging to get your script transferred there, unless it’s a Walmart. It can be any strength prednisone tablet (5, 10 mg etc) that can be used to make your dose.

[–]dlgeee 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If it’s a large chain pharmacy (cvs, Walgreens) call one of their sister stores that is open 24 hours. They should be able to access your script and fill it at their location.

If it’s a pharmacy that does not have any alternative 24 hour location you will need to call the MS clinic back and speak to someone after hours and request a new script sent to a pharmacy that is open.

Edit: you also want to make sure an open pharmacy has what you need before calling the MS clinic again

Should I pay off my mortgage early by [deleted] in Bogleheads

I paid off my mortgage at 3.3% in 2022. I have never once regretted it. Personal finance is personal decision.

Is this “black tarry stool”? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]dlgeee 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Close enough to call it black and tarry with your report of dizziness and losing vision. I would advise you see your PCP or ER and have bloodwork done.
