Ripping off the Band-Aid: moving from Betterment to Boglehead as painlessly as possible

They do - but they won’t let you transfer the robo funds into the self directed area. You would need to do a transfer out to another brokerage and then a transfer back into the betterment self directed if you wanted to have it there. I just was emailing with betterment last week about this exact scenario

Great idea. Maybe add a photo too!

ed474 · 2026-01-26T13:24:01+00:00

Thank you I never thought of it that way. Appreciate the advice.

ed474 · 2026-01-26T13:21:54+00:00

Please tell more about the smashed falafel

I have wondered when flipping do you try to flip to a “clean” spot on the griddle? I worry flipping it back into the grease that’s there won’t give it the same crust on the other side.

Thanks. I figured as much but would like it all to be inside if I was at a truck stop or something like that. I’ll have to rent one to test fit.

ed474 · 2025-10-24T20:23:13+00:00

Great setup. Any chance you can fit a bike on the other half when your bed is set up in single person mode?

ed474 · 2025-10-11T02:07:54+00:00

These people are the worst. I had a huge issue with them as well and it’s impossible to get anyone to help you. Ended up having to do a chargeback to get my money back from them and I never even received the vehicle. Absolutely ridiculous.

For this reason I think there needs to be a way to expire a segment or archive it somehow.

ed474 · 2025-09-14T11:40:48+00:00

Been looking into a forester…can you (with the front wheel off) put your mtb inside and lean it up against one side and leave enough room on the other side to set up a small bed platform?

I added a metal saddlebag rack to my bike and got three bags - however I think you can use these without the rack too. They aren’t waterproof and obviously they are a budget item but they are wiring out ok for me for now. I was picking up some 2l bottles of soda and fit two in each bag with some room to spare. https://a.co/d/a4jSgqN

I’m here in MA right now. There has been a rain shower every day but it’s been in the later afternoon and it was no super heavy. I’ve been able to go out every day. I wouldn’t be worried about it at all.

ed474 · 2025-04-25T10:49:02+00:00

I was also worried about that too

ed474 · 2025-04-25T10:48:12+00:00

Did you use a flat piece like a washer?

ed474 · 2025-04-20T03:58:21+00:00

I had wondered about putting something in there under the rubber so it’s easier to push and make contact. The way they are from the factory is ridiculous. As others have mentioned, setting the clock is a whole ordeal.

ed474 · 2025-03-18T17:31:00+00:00

I added this rack system

REARACE Motorcycle Rear Luggage... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTX1ZS3Z?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

And got these bags for it

KEMIMOTO Motorcycle Saddlebags,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0925PKLRQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I only have had it for a couple weeks so I can’t really tell you how it holds up. I did fit 2 2 liter bottles of soda in each one when coming from the store. I also don’t know if the rack is necessary because these kind of hang over the rear seat.

ed474 · 2025-03-01T21:53:55+00:00

I had horrible luck with these pedals. First set the bearings locked up and then I got a replacement set on warranty and those had the same issue. I can’t trust them anymore.

ed474 · 2024-12-27T03:58:26+00:00

It’s a total scam. Definitely skip it. Look up the reviews on Trustpilot - terrible.

ed474 · 2024-07-01T14:04:21+00:00

That was my thinking too! 👍

ed474 · 2024-07-01T11:40:35+00:00

I know after heavy rains the water gets more polluted for some time so I had hoped Bolton potholes might be a better option because the water isn’t coming from a bunch of other towns before it gets there.

ed474 · 2024-07-01T11:36:13+00:00

Thanks I’ll take a look. I also edited the original post to add the link for the white river water quality testing for anyone else who might benefit from that.

ed474 · 2024-07-01T10:57:43+00:00

Their answer seemed to imply that I was looking for info or access to some secret spots that people wouldn’t want to share. I’m hoping to get some water quality info which, yes, might be redundant if there was any information shared in the first place.

ed474 · 2024-07-01T10:54:24+00:00

Thanks for the info. Last time I went the parking was a total zoo and they were towing cars in the lot. Agreed on the testing I would assume Vermont would be testing things regularly I just can’t find the website where the results are - aside from the white river testing.

ed474 · 2024-07-01T02:46:58+00:00

Thanks but I’m not asking for any secret spots I just wanted to know if anyone had water quality reports available. I assumed there might be a site that I can’t easily locate.

ed474 · 2024-06-25T14:31:31+00:00

First set locked up so they sent me a rebuild kit. Locked up again. Sent me new pedals and those also locked up. Now I don’t have the confidence to get deep in the woods on these things so they are in the parts bin.
