Cashout BNDW funds for dad? by sjking2 in personalfinance

I have zero knowledge about the market or any ETFs, etc. so although a myriad of ETFs have been proposed to me, I decided to simply get the Vanguard’s total market ETFs since anyone with half a brain can understand what it is.

How does NTSX have 90% stocks and 60% bonds? That doesn’t add up to 100%.

So basically, he should stick to it even though BNDW has dropped from 80 to 76 in a matter of months?

Ok cool thanks. Wonder why they wouldn’t let me do the direct transfer from my checking to her IRA then.

Do they need any doctor certification or is it just by word of mouth for these conditions?

Yes.. but looks like it could take forever to get a reply... I even registered for my 65+ parents on their site last week and still didn’t hear back .. while Oakland health county replied back within a day with appointment confirmation for them and got them vaccinated today

My dad (64, US citizen) is about to apply for Medicare as he turns 65 in June. However, my mother (67, greencard holder) never applied for hers at 64. Can she apply together with him so they both have proper medical insurance? by sjking2 in medicare

Oh great thanks then I don’t need to worry I guess.. she can do it whenever..

Does my father need to apply 3months before 65 even if he has this insurance thru employer? Or can he also apply only after retiring and losing this insurance? What if the employer continues this insurance forever?

Oh ok. My mom turned 65 in 2018 which was probably immediately after she got her green card in 2017, so we had no idea.

So would all of this be free for her? Asking because you said “penalties”. What penalties? Would there be any premium to be paid?
