    Do you keep envelopes?

    We get some in the mail. One from my long-term insurance carrier who also requires premium payments via paper check. My wife is not computer literate so all of the bills will eventually have to bw switched to paper.

    Do you keep envelopes?

    Junk mail goes into a shredder, not recycle bin here. My wife likes to try and hold onto envelopes containing cards but I'm usually a bit faster. :clap:

    Gone by the third generation

    Well, my wife and I are definitely Generation 1 but that's as far as it goes. We married in 1970. It took us 35-yrs to edge our NW over the very, very low 7-figures. These days we're blessed to have a much larger NW but no kids to leave it to. My wife has no surviving family but I have a...

    529 Plans - Is a monthly contribution or lump sum better?

    Didn't mean to sound boastful. As inelegant as it was, my point was slow and steadywins the race. Remember those articles in the old Money Magazine...."These stocks will return double-digit returns this year!!". We ignored the temptation and just plodded along with boring, no-load mutual...

    529 Plans - Is a monthly contribution or lump sum better?

    What are you investing in? If equities then dollar-cost-averaging is key. Keep the monthly contributions.

    Who FIREd the Earliest with the Lowest FIRE Score and Why You Did?

    When I FIRE'd in '05 (and my wifevin. '06) our net worth had just crossed over from 6 to 7-figures. Between 55 and 62 my wife and I had 3-pension checks but we entered retirement with $0 in debt and living, still living, well beneath our means.

    Recommend me a quality home printer.

    We have a Brother B&W laser and an HP color inkjet. We use the HP when color printing is needed, which isn't very often. Our Brother laser is ~10-yrs old and still chugging along.

    Demand a copy of the ticket/citation. Do nothing including paying anything until you see the citation. While you're at it demand to know what the $180 was for.

    Best approach in general to a hot upstairs?

    We put in a ductless mini-split in our attached 4-season sun room 7-8 years ago. Don't recall what we paid but we didn't have to swallow hard, close our eyes and, reluctantly, write a check. The mini-split keeps the room warm in winter and cool in summer.

    unpairing a remote?

    So, the receiver does not have its own remote? Does the remote have a selector position to operate either the TV or rcvr? Otherwise, I don't see any solution exxept to open the TV and physically disconnect it's speaker. Maybe someome else has a better idea.

    What new series are you watching? *No Spoilers, Please*

    Just finished Jerry Seinfeld's new movie Unfrosted (Netflix). The premise is the rivalry between Kellogg's and Post and the invention of the Pop Tart. We found it amusing in spots but that's about all.
