    I don't know much about wills.

    Didn't know much about wills either but as time passed & our lives became easier we looked into an estate planning law firm. Free consultation to discuss our goal of leaving our sons less grief in getting their inheritance. So now we have a certificate of trust, general power of attorney...

    Have you ever been told or told someone..

    Never. Did get valuable management training when I bid & got a management position. Part of the training included knowing the difference between being assertive & being aggressive when dealing with problem employees.

    With a refrigerator, do you prefer a bottom freezer, top freezer, or side by side?

    side by side on both our refrigerator/freezers. Don't want to bend over to unstack whatever is on top of what is needed . Same goes for top don't want to unstack whatever to get to what is needed. Side by side we can organize frozen whatever on the shelves. Works especially good with vacuum...

    What matters in life?

    Maybe this fits this thread. A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple up...

    Ethical decisions for me and my sister during inheritance

    You mention other beneficiaries combine them & estate settlement expenses your share would be less. Then there is no mention of your mothers health & how her last years were spent. Why only your sister on the accounts? Why your sister's husband was the executor? Then you have to ask yourself...

    Is getting rid of big trash items easy/inexpensive where you live?

    Easy here. The & recycle & trash bins are extra big with regular pick up every Saturday. Then there is pick up of large items like that "big, clunky air conditioner" that would have been picked up yesterday. Large items and or bin trash only cost $20.00 a month. I think that is really...

    Making the Transition from Work to Retirement.

    Retirement for me was like starting my 1st. real job. Not sure what to expect but willing to learn. Now 30 years into retirement I've got a good understanding of who the boss is & what SHE wants.

    Is having to arrive 3 hours before departure efficient?

    I guess it all depends on what is important. Is sitting at home an extra hour important? Is getting checked in and sitting that hour in an airport different than waiting that hour at home?

    So frustrated at the few self-entitled folks here...

    Would this qualify as someone "who don't have either the decency or self control to abide by the no politics rule." Quote from another thread about soc. sec. "That’s the reason that I bought my new car and everything else that I was going to need in the beginning of January before this...

    Letter from SS announces 90% of people will owe no taxes on SS income.

    The price for planning to be comfortable in retirement comes in the form of taxes. We to will get some relief but not what we hoped for. It is good that others will make out. Maybe next year we'll do better this year just happens to be when we will have to pay the interest accrued on the...
