401k/Roth IRA question

Posted by tiger10lsu on 12/9/19 at 6:44 pm
I recently started with a large company that contributes to my 401k that I just became eligible for in October. I currently have a personal Roth IRA that I am not allowed to roll into the company 401k. I don’t need two retirement accounts so I’m unsure of what to do with it. 1. Stop contributing...
Recently closed a family business and am starting the job search after 10 years. Indeed seems like it has the same stuff everyday. Any others found success elsewhere? Thanks...
Dont do it. I run a machine shop. We use a portable mig gun or tig weld on site. If you want to get it done, go with the SS rivets and permatex...
Yes. I would be selling the house and taking the profit to purchase the new home. Bought for $209,000. Owe about $185,000. Worth about $230,000....
Background: Bought my house for $209,000 4 years ago with an FHA loan and pay about $130 in PMI which I hate and apparently cant get rid of without refinancing. I don't plan to do that since my interest rate is 3.375% and dont want to drop PMI for a higher rate. I do plan on moving in 2-4 years once...

The showers are not custom built. They look like a normal drop in tub. The attic has an automatic fan that kicks on when it reaches about 100 degrees. It also has the vent screens on the underside of the attic around the whole house. The attic is the typical fiberglass roll out insulation. ...

Thanks so much for the reply. My problem is having no idea as to where it is coming from. No broken pipes. HVAC unit is 3 ton for a 1400 sf house so that can't be it. The only thing I can come up with is the access panels in the closet are allowing moisture from below the slab into the closets. ...

The house is on a slab and I only notice mold on clothes/shoes in the closet. Never outside a closet. The water heater is outside so thats not it. 2 of the 3 closets backup to a bathroom where they have an inspection door for plumbers...

Indoor mold issues in home

Posted by tiger10lsu on 2/27/19 at 11:01 am
I've been in my house for about 4 years and have always had some mold issues in the closets where I am constantly using damp rid but my clothes and shoes still get mold on them. Now I have a baby on the way and am nervous to put her in a room and her stuff in a closet that has had mold on my clo...
So every year we usually do a long weekend at the beach club in Gulf Shores with my dad, brothers family, sisters family and my own. This year my brothers wife is due in July and mine in August. My question is: Any good family summer vacations locally that don't involve a hot sandy beach for preg...
We stayed at La Toc 2 years ago. The zip lining was fun. I wasn't interested but the wife was. I'm glad we did it. Joe knows tour is a must. We went to the Grand for a day and wish we would have done two days. If I were to do it again, we would stay there. The vibe at the beach/pool is mu...
I am currently maxing out my Roth IRA and plan to as long as I can. The $10,000 we have in a general savings account is for future baby and "rainy day" funds. Do you get your HSA thru your healthcare provider?...

Newborn baby savings/finance plan?

Posted by tiger10lsu on 2/12/19 at 3:15 pm
My wife and I just found out we will be having our first child, middle of August. I knew this would be coming eventually and we have saved about $10,000 for it. My question is: Do any of you recommend any savings plans while we are still 6 months out? Like a health savings account or 6 month ...
My wife and I have been looking for homes for roughly a year now because our current home is getting tight especially with a child on the way. The cost for the homes are crazy IMO. Then I realized I have the land and wanted to looking into the idea of adding on the current home for an extra bedro...

Damn. I guess I will have to wait for the rate to get closer to mine and make the jump. I can't stand throwing that $140 per month away....
