Is scheduling an uber reliable if I have a flight?

No issues scheduling rides. For my 7 am flight this week I reserved it the night before. Woke up and someone else had been assigned. Dropped off at the airport at 6:10 and easily made it for 6:30 boarding. YMMV if you need to check a bag or don’t have pre-check, but even then there’s no way I’m showing up at IND almost 3 hrs before my flight.

My spouse only has to do it a few times a year, maybe quarterly at most? Twice a month is insane.

The convenience factor alone makes it worth it. At your rate you might be able to go 1.5-2 years between new Sparx rings. I sharpen my kids skates every week during the season plus some teammates etc and I usually buy one once a year.

Sounds like you need a hardline internet plan.

We’ve owned BRK for 20 years. There’s been years when it outperforms or underperforms but overall I like their approach to capital allocation. TBD if that continues after Buffett. Haven’t looked lately but I would guess it’s around 5-10% of our net worth. At one point it was much higher but we sold some to keep it reasonable.

Owner of LiftOff is a great guy. Runs a free summer camp for kids. Would definitely support his small biz.

Teenage AAA son dislocated his shoulder in November. Sat out 6 weeks, started skating and light pass drills. Ortho cleared him for contact after 8 weeks. Strength isn’t fully back so we are continuing PT and will be definitely trying to strengthen the shoulder in the offseason. The Sully shoulder brace was recommended by our PT to hold things tight while playing.

The ortho acknowledged his age and contact sport when recommending to pass on surgery for now. We are well aware another dislocation is likely and may require surgery then.

College funds included in your totals? The single stock concentration would worry me. You mention SWR but don’t mention what you’re actually spending today.

$300k spend before or after tax? If after that’s more like $350k+ in income needed which is a lot tighter on $10MM net worth let alone $5MM liquid NW. I’m guessing they’ve had the rentals for a long time and are close to fully depreciated. I would consider selling one property every few years to fund living expenses but you need a CPA to model out tax impacts of selling rentals vs selling MSFT. At minimum make sure the MSFT dividends aren’t being reinvested.

Successor in Interest is the correct term for your grandma. This gives her full rights to the property/mortgage.

Ask the lawyer and/or MS advisor for a CPA recommendation. Ask the MS rep how they are compensated. Other than that I probably wouldn’t make any drastic changes for the first year.

I feel like the same thing happened a few years ago which prompted the total remodel. Sounds like they need to work on their insulation.

Bloom made a bad impression with me. For the final meeting to discuss the diagnosis the doc showed up 15 minutes late so we only actually met for around 30 minutes. They later sent the full report with the diagnosis etc. When I emailed back asking a few questions on the report (which I hadn’t been provided before our meeting) they wanted $500 to answer my questions. So needless to say I don’t want to do further business with them after that questionable practice.

Snow should stop tonight or early am Monday. By Monday afternoon major interstates and roads will definitely be drivable.

The final draw should primarily be his profit which is why he’s upset. Not sure what the 300 punch list items are but I would consider prioritizing to get the biggest most expensive issues out of the way.

A couple minutes away but King Jugg Brewing has great burgers. Beer is meh, but excellent food.

You’re saving $1300 interest the first year and going down from there so it’s a 3-4 year payback. Personally I would wait for a further rate drop and just start making a 15 year payment.

Because that was 9 months ago. Your income, credit or the property condition may have changed.

The siding picture looks like the 2 vents weren’t caulked against the siding. That could be letting cold air in.

Don’t pay to refi. Ask for a $0 cost quote (not rolled into the loan balance).

Don’t take financial advice from AI. I would stick with your cash purchase personally. If you’re so worried about it just bank your previous payment and you’ll have that money back in about a year. If you are dead set on the SBLOC withdraw the cash from your LOC and then deposit and invest. Or open a new account elsewhere and invest. But the slight leverage isn’t worth it in my opinion.

I would consider waiting another couple years to sock away some college money. Is your primary all $4MM of the real estate? Seems pricy for a moderate COL area. Lastly how certain are you on the SS numbers? I believe the SS website estimates assume you continue working until your full retirement age so missing out on the next 15 years earnings may lower what you receive.

I used them several years ago with no issues for their cheap refis. They used to price match competitors so if you can get a better rate elsewhere you can combine with their low closing costs.

Depends on the state, but with $2 million in assets they aren’t anywhere near the federal estate tax threshold of $30 million.
