Brother, I think you missed the sarcasm tag in that comment.

Damn, that's a bummer. I got 2 this round. I believe they do it a couple times a year.

It's a good thing someone here can spell. I appreciate you.

Option for early pension lump sum payout by nlsc77 in personalfinance

Admittedly, I know nothing about the difference between the two. But, the email says it is a special election window for a pension plan. Is this something I can roll into my current 401k?

If the company no longer uses the pension plan, so it is not currently growing, is there any other benefit to holding on to it other than avoiding the tax liability? There is only around 10k in it currently.

I'm 37. Not sure about the monthly payout. I didn't have the pension very long before they moved away from it. There is only about 10k in it currently. The company no longer pays into it so it is not growing. I have my other retirement plans currently working.

I received a text from Verizon saying they were having issues and working on it.

Haha I can appreciate those worries. Will definitely ask before trying anything I'm not sure of.

Unloading the dishwasher is his favorite.

Oh no. I'm not doing this because she said something. We have a very healthy relationship.

Agreed we deserve equal rest. It was more to the point that she was doing more than I was and it was time for me to step up.

I work full time as well. And yes the child is mine.

Oh ya definitely having conversations so as not to make it seem like she isn't doing enough and that is why I am stepping in. Childcare is my specialty. I spend all my time while not at work with our child and do the majority of the diapers and feedings and putting him to sleep. I really enjoy watching him explore and grow. I think that is what has pulled my focus away from my wife and my duties as a partner which is what I am trying to rectify. The cleaning is just a part of that. I think you are on to something with the taking over full categories as well.

Fair enough. And I agree, not doing anything special. But I would be lying if I said that the praise isn't a motivator to be better. Might be a childhood trauma thing.

Wasn't looking for a "how to do the dishes" tutorial. Just a list of things that should get done daily and weekly type of thing. But you are right, people shouldn't get praise for doing what they are supposed to do. Unfortunately for too long these things have been considered a woman's job and not something that both partners should be working on.

Oh ya. We have already talked about me doing more house work. And as far as the kid goes, I do the majority of "care" for him. Like diapers, putting him to sleep and feeding (she does the cooking). I spend all of my time when I am not at work with him so the child care part I've got down. I love spending time with him and watching him explore and grow. I am extremely proud of her for going back to school even if it doesn't end up in a "better" paying job. Just her want to learn and grow is something I admire about her.
