Thanks @jtownsucks46 . Bluebird looks promising… I can even set it up with myself as the account holder and give them their own card with limited access. Similiar to what @louis-redfoot mentioned above!

Thanks @louis-redfoot. I’ll check!

@louis-redfoot That is the idea we are going for but it seems every one we found has a monthly fee. When we inquired at financial institutions, they all wanted to link to a checking account. Just thought I’d check in here to see if “greater minds” could lead us in the right direction!

I’m looking for a card that I can use instead of carrying cash. (This is really for an older family member but I’m going to set it up for them). Can’t use a debit card tied to a checking because they are terrible with credit so instead of overdraft, we need it to decline the transaction if there aren’t sufficient funds.

• Prefer a Visa or MC
• No monthly fee (they don’t have a direct deposit available to them)
• Minimal or no load fees
• Open to suggestions or other ideas!

Thanks!

These blooper boxes are awesome. We always pick some up from the store in Wildwood, FL when we pass by that area. You truly never know what you are going to get in those 3lbs until you bite into a piece! Thanks for the post. Now we can get some without going on a road trip!

Amazon is sending me emails and ads on their site encouraging me to sign up for Amazon Business. I’m not seeing a whole lot of details about it and why it might be beneficial. Do any of you have experience and could offer advice about this? TIA

Amazon is now giving priority to hospitals and government organizations for COVID-19 related supplies. This includes face shields, thermometers, protective gloves, face masks, surgical gowns, and sanitizers.

To request access for these essential supplies, one must contact Amazon with their organization information and a customer advisor “will be in touch.”

Seriously, @pitcherswife? That tweet is almost 4 years old!

I appreciate your contributions but could you please review before you post? Quality over quantity in 2021?

Thanks OP. Was able to sign up yesterday and have already cashed out $5 Amazon gift card!

Thanks again to all for your suggestions. We ended up finding a little local bank who would give a second loan on our primary property. Borrowed enough for both the vacant lot purchase and to do the floors in my parent’s house. Bank paid all closing costs including a new appraisal. Only drawback now is they are 60-ish days out for closing.

@mom2jel I got the same refresh message but after refreshing a few times over about 5 minutes my order was complete. Pretty sure I got in in time but the site was clearly overloaded.

I’m looking to purchase the vacant lot next to my house but need advice on types of loans. Do banks even loan for vacant property? I have some cash but not enough to buy it outright.
I’ve talked to the neighbor who is selling the lot and we’ve tentatively agreed on a purchase price of $50k. My income and credit should easily support this price, I just need advice how to best finance it.

I currently have a mortgage on my home but I just recently purchased it and it is approximately at 80% LTV (based on an appraisal 5 years ago)
I own a second home which my parents live in (they lost theirs to foreclosure so I purchased a home solely for them). This property has a mortgage of about $55k on it with an unknown value - last appraisal was done about 10 years ago. I’m guessing it might be valued around $150k now.
Side note, I’ve been considering a $15k home improvement loan on my parent’s property to redo their floors but have no idea if I could finance that together?

Welcome your questions and appreciate any advice you all might have. TIA!

@bc Appreciate the reply!
I have a call into our bank but no one from loans is available until the new year so I thought I’d reach out to you all for advice while I’m waiting on them.
I have 3.8% on my parent’s house with about 20 years left on that loan.

Bottle opener arrived today … POSTAGE DUE. Did this happen to anyone else?
I could pay USPS $3 for my prize or refuse delivery and it gets sent back.

Thanks @ctujackbauer
I’m pretty vigilant about keeping my info secure. This just feels too close to home (compared to a password/user name leak)
