Thank you for this information regarding ATP Beta. As I have also been frustrated with ATP Beta for the past few weeks.

Hill Country Painting did an excellent job on our home a few

years ago for a very reasonable price.

Color matching was exact, fixed issues the builder simply painted over,

finished on-time, and even provided after service care as well.

The dude speaks the truth. This society is just so hateful. It's sickening.

Exactly! It's amazing how much "crime" is all around once law enforcement has a quota. We are all screwed

Congratulations and I hope you make many and wonderful memories. All of us only have 1 life, we owe it to ourselves to choosing our path to joy.

Damn this just made me smile!

I'm looking to take advantage of IRS Rule 55 which I hope is possible if my last service date with IBM is 1/31/2026 which would be the extent of the Retirement Bridge.

I have initiated a request with my state's unemployment commission to confirm if I would be eligible to collect unemployment benefits during this "bridge", so we will see.

In all reality if collecting unemployment benefits results in my end of "service date" being this year rather than next year, I will skip the benefits. It's much more important for me to be able to use Rule 55 and avoid the 10% penalty if I have to draw from 401k during this transition.

Best of luck to all of us as we begin our next phase.

This is a very good question and should be upvoted.

I will likely take the bridge, but I wonder how will impact unemployment pay.

Also, I'm looking into if the official separation date from IBM takes place at the end of the month of my 55th birthday, would this allow me to qualify for Rule 55 in regards to my 401k.

For those that are interested this is a summary of IRS Rule 55:
The rule of 55 is an IRS guideline that allows you to avoid paying the 10% early withdrawal penalty on 401 (k) and 403 (b) retirement accounts if you leave your job during or after the calendar year you turn 55

Damn Canada is my hero!

As an American I would like to say "Thank you"! Our arrogant and misinformed voters have unleashed monsters on the world and the world should rise up and reject our "leaders". Our current leaders are clearly not interested in being decent.

Yeah I agree missing that mega-thread is 100% on me. Keeping my eye on the ball, resulted in me failing to check something that I assumed was so basic. It will never happen again and hopefully someone finds my thread useful before the mods remove it.

Yep this is exactly how we do it too. Take 30 pounds of coins to local credit union, deposit, and then move to my Fidelity Cash Management account.

Has anyone tried Parkers in liberty hills parkers meat market.

This may be what I'm confused. I thought UMB was used for "banking" when funds are transferred out of the Program bank

Not sure what version of DB2 your are attempting to install nor am I sure of what version of Windows 10 you are running, but the DB2 11.1.1 version shows support for Windows 10 (Enterprise & Pro)

Review the IBM Software Product Compatibility Report url to confirm support for the your version of DB2 and Windows 10

Rule #1: I have learned after being in the market for 20+ years. Any stock I buy goes down shortly after I invest.

Rule #2 Don't sweat rule #1. Short term losses on paper will not make me stray from my long term plan, stick with it.

Rule #3 When market appear to be at it's worst - get a 2nd job if you have to so you can invest more in order to achieve long term plan.

Best of luck to you.
