I know a 25 year old female who was taking the GLP1 injection. She started in February this year and was doing great. Lost ~45lbs until a few weeks ago, the injection was causing intense abdominal pain and she ended up being rushed to the hospital by ambulance. The doctor stopped the injections and advised her to not go back on it ever again.
Thanks Rick and Marilyn! I know there are others on this site that do this volunteer work and I wouldn't have known about it if it weren't for HumbleDollar.
Rick, those are interesting stats. Is there a fee for using this tax service? I was under the impression a tax payer had to be under $89,000 AGI to be eligible.
Fund Daddy, thanks for sharing suggestions on streaming deals. I must be an anomaly because Netflix has never been a 'must' for me. In fact, I've never watched it, but the internet certainly is necessary for many things now required, if one can just avoid being scammed or getting a virus.
Mark, your articles are so eloquent and interesting with never a repeated subject or topic...well maybe a Guinness, but that's acceptable. No harping on what you read on other websites so you can vent here. You express wisdom of a happy life with humor that everyone can enjoy or relate to. Today, I learned what a Mini Moke is and had to look it up for pictures. I always look forward to your articles because they put me in a happier mood. All the best to you!
That's a sad situation with a bike rider being killed by another person on an e-bike. An internet search "are electric bike accidents on the rise" shows an alarming increase in the number of e-bike accidents. I believe Jonathan's father died from being hit on a bike.
One of my neighbors just moved her stepfather from one side of the country to the other side into a senior living facility, even though he had his own adult children nearby, but they had no interest in his care; they're waiting for the inheritance as I'm told. Now he gets the care from a family member who cares about him along with a daily visit.
Chris, thanks for the clearer explanation as to how you use it. I started inputing data, but didn't know how many more steps there would be and didn't see a way to save the data. I guess one needs to decide what works best for them and stay with it. Thanks again!
Chris, thanks for sharing. I've not tried using the IRS estimator. Does it allow you to save the information as you input data throughout the year? I've been doing my own spreadsheet for a few years now and I keep tweaking it to make it viewer friendly and understandable. I like all the responses from everyone as there are some methods I didn't know about.
Jeff, indeed I think the suicide counseling is very rare. I believe I know what you're referring to about the questionnaire from the medical office. I see it on my annual Medicare Wellness Visit. Some companies are not very tactful when having to let go of a group of employees. I recall hearing about a meeting with a group of engineers when it was announced which of those would be let go as they went around the table...right in front of everyone including those not losing their job. A real class act from upper management.
