I was just curious because of how Ric Flair was retired Monday night! Will he still be in his deadman persona and can they retire him like Flair. I wonder if he will be thanked and commended or will they keep kayfabe

Best idea and description gets the 10 points. Be Creative!

I’d like to write a will and develop an estate plan for my wife and daughter. Are the CDROM/online services (eg Quicken Willmaker) good enough, or should I see a lawyer?

Is the salary high enough to take this new job?




I have two good job offers on the table right now and am having a hard time deciding which to take.
Job one has good benefits and a company vehicle. It is 40 miles from my home.
Job two has more benefits, no company vehicle and is 60 miles from my home. This job pays ,000 more.
The most important benefits (health and retirement) are similar.

How much is the vehicle really worth? I expected a higher salary from job two because it is Westchester County, NY. If I look at a salary calculator between the two jobs, job two looks low. Does that matter since I am not leaving my home and will live here no matter which job I take?

To be specific, the parents do not want to enter a nursing home or retirement home. Should they be rewarded with the same care they provided for you when you were a child?

At first i was thinking of becoming a residential real estate agent but then, someone told me about commercial real estate and i was wondering would that be a better career choice and does it work the same as residential. If so, that would be major commision on a million building and that would be a better route i would love to take.

Do I convert the title first before selling it? (how’s the tax base calculation?) Or should I sell it under the trust? Which my aunts are the trustees? Which tax base for the house will be higher so that I can pay less capital gain. Thanks.
Also my aunt is getting Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI). She has no money interest (not a beneficiary) with the living trust. Does it hurt her SSI Status from being a trustee? Thanks.

I owe the IRS 7K for taxes this year. The money I owe is for taking an early withdrawal from our 401K to fix the bathroom. I’m not sure it counts as a hardship, but the bathroom was mold infested and needed to be gutted everything replaced. Can i take more money out of my 401K to pay the taxes due and not have to incurr another penalty?

I am 56 with one child left in college. I am in good health and have quite a few interests. I would like to semi retire now with the idea of being completely out of the work force in 2 years. I like boating, cycle riding, would like to travel a lot more (my family is all over the place from Portland to Minnesota). My wife will retire as well, so we will lose both incomes, but we have no debt so I think we will be fine. I just want to be sure we have thought of everything.
