@my4mainecoons Do you need wifi built into the cable modem or do you want two separate boxes? Or do you need wifi at all? Can you use the Trendnet as the router connected to the modem?

The Mrs. got a new car and wants a dash cam. Any suggestions for a decent model/brand that won’t break the bank? Doesn’t have to be fancy.

Glad I waited since the interest rate has increased.

I don’t think “glad” is the correct description. If you purchased in April, you would have 6 months of 7.x% and 6 months of 9.x%. Now, you don’t know what happens after 6 months of 9.x%.

Right, that’s correct. Say you bought the 7.x bond in late 2021, you’d earn six months from your month date (say 1/1/22) of 7+%, then on 7/1/22 it goes up to 9.x% To be honest I don’t see inflation coming down much anytime in the next year. Oil prices will be even higher this summer than recently with demand and likely Russian boycott from Europe, supply chain issues from China and elsewhere. Labor costs going up as people demand more money for wages to keep up w/inflation. It’s a bad spiral when it gets like this.

Consider that a money market acct is paying .5% right now. Anything above 4% in these bonds is pretty darn good not to mention the interest hit is deferred until you actually redeem them.

Even if you cash out at the end of the first 12 months and forego three months of interest, you’re still way ahead of a savings/mma or CD. I bought in Novenber 2021, and then again in April 2022, So did my wife. Took the money out of a savings account paying around 0.5%. Would be great if we could buy more than $10K per person per year. Not getting a tax refund, so can’t use that to buy a $5K paper iBond on top of the $10K bonds.

@bc Can’t find my post, but here’s another one:

Really, all you need to do is subscribe to one of the free-Kindle-book mailing lists and you will get access to more books than you ever can read, most sorted by genre.

@jess888 I recommended this a while back and the consensus was to leave the Kindle books in this thread.

First time trying this. Worked great.

@briarycliffs WINNER! Got the email in about 10 seconds after submitting. Thanks for the live link, and thanks @ctgolfer for the original post!

The only retailer in my area that is listed as accepting the digital coupon is WalMart.

Just to update - ended up booking through Costco. I know that using a 3rd-party can be a problem, but taking the chance anyway. Best price by about $50 and I don’t have to prepay and can cancel anytime. If I keep watching the prices I may be able to get a better deal.

@fivetalents said in Help with a car rental, please?:

When I had to rent a car last October, the prices were exorbitant, even after any employer or other organization discounts I qualified for.

You might look into the Air B&B equivalent of car rentals (people who rent their cars to others instead of their residences). I don’t know the names of any of these sites but it may be worth searching for reviews to see if it’s a viable option/saves a lot of money.

Thanks. I did look at this option and saw just enough of horror stories of cars that die or fail in some way to keep me from pursuing. I have a certain level of faith that rental car companies maintain the vehicles in drivable condition so as to not have to give refunds.

Headed to “beautiful, downtown Burbank” CA (if you don’t get the reference, PM me) at the end of August. Flying into Bob Hope airport in Burbank. Anyone know of a way to find a decent deal on a car rental? Best prices are with Fox and Thrifty, and all online reviews recommend staying as far away from both of those rental agencies as possible.

@rony-cras4 Ulta and Sally Beauty. Sometimes WalMart. Depends on what brands you are looking for.

Sally Beauty Generic products are a close match to the “name brand” products they are designed to mimic.

@sonofzeus Shin guards?

Tire stops in the garage?

Put them around a tree that you have to tie with rope so you don’t damage the tree?

@ctgolfer How do you buy the bonds? Only through treasurydirect? How old do you need to be to be able to buy the bonds?

This may not be the answer to what you were asking, but you can buy these as a gift for a minor and I believe it would count against their limit.
https://www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/research/indepth/ibonds/res_ibonds_ifaq.htm

Is there any tax liability? How would that work for a minor?

Not trying to be mean, but there is a ton of info at the government site. Tax considerations:

Only on the Treasury Direct site. Looks like you have to be at least 18 years old:

@zerenia

Actually you can invest up to $10,000 a year in series I bonds and not just $10. I bought $10,000 worth in early November and in January I am planning to get $10,000 more.

I hit “K” on my keyboard but didn’t check to make sure the “k” actually showed up… $10K
