• What to do with extra $13k as a 20 year old

  Go to betterment.com and put it in their cash reserve. You'll get a good interest rate that should help at least reduce some inflation risk. Source: about 1 year ago

• Financially illiterate

  If you want a less frightening way to invest, betterment.com was my gateway into investing. It has a pre-selected basket of index funds and bonds, and you can just select your risk tolerance, set up a deposit schedule, and they take care of the rest. I started with $10/paycheck 11 years ago, and now I have almost $20,000 invested as I kept increasing my automated deposits as my salary grew. Source: over 1 year ago

• Weekly note about a direct competitor outdoing M1+

  Also about Betterment: they too started offering crypto at exactly the wrong time, but unlike M1 they have the decency to hide it from view! If I go to betterment.com now, I don't see any reference to crypto on the main page unless you scroll all the way down to the site map at the bottom. That's something else that M1+ could offer:.

• Moving out at 18, no idea how to be an adult.

  Lastly sign up for a free investment app like acorns, betterment.com, robin hood etc. Once you've got your budget setup dump everything else into those when combined with your credit card buffer you can always pull back out or preferrably reduce next months investments if you find yourself low on funds one month.

• Newbie Question - Investment Account

  There are muuuuuuch better options today that Edward Jones. Your "local guy" makes a living adding maintenance costs to your account. The original poster here could do really well by checking out betterment.com and just following the on-screen prompts (they offer IRAs, too). Next time you meet with your local guy, ask him how much (the exact dollar amount) he's made from the fees on your investment account...and... Source: almost 2 years ago

StoryWorth Holiday Gift mentions (25)

• Seeking advice on preserving personal memories with my aging parents

  Storyworth is $99/year. It has prompts and they give you a book at the end of the year. It requires the storyteller to use email, which might be a barrier. Source: 11 months ago

• Best Voice Recording App for Spoken Words (not singing or other audio)

  It’s not voice, but I came across Storyworth and seems pretty cool. They send a daily email with a single question to your loved one. That person answers and then at the end of the year you get a printed book with all the answers. Source: about 1 year ago

• Bucket List

  Try Storyworth: https://welcome.storyworth.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• What is something nice that people can do for their old age parents (over 65+)?

  Storyworth e-mails them a question every week, asking about their life or childhood. They have fun reminiscing, they feel good knowing you care about their stories, and at the end of the year you get a book of family history. Win-win. Source: about 1 year ago

• acute care in-service

  I think therapy for comfort care/hospice patients is largely overlooked. It’s basic practice for my hospital to sign off when patients switch to this phase, saying something along the lines of “no further therapeutic progress expected, rehab potential plateaued” yadda yadda. But I think it’s very important to have at least one more conversation and ask if they have any specific goals given the transition. ie.... Source: over 1 year ago
