Wondering, huh?
Me, too.
I am wondering why the need to barge into a conversation among posters who are contributing and enjoying the thread — only to try to make the OP feel like she is not smart.
Geez.
Some of us learn from each other here by asking questions….
Good questions usually mean the asker is looking for a starting point to learn more through extending research or equipping oneself with the working vocabulary that can help when speaking with a professional.
Comparison: These threads are basically a little bit like Wikipedia. Any serious asker of questions knows that Wikipedia can be a starting point, but it is not a definitive reference source. Those who understand that always know to back-source Wikipedia.
Also — there is the value of remaining anonymous when talking about our money.
I think our OP might be from Ohio. So am I. We Midwest women who are interested in talking about investing and taxes don’t go around talking about such things with our friends and family — unless there is a good and private reason to do so.
Our OP is doing her homework. She has indicated elsewhere that she has found a fee-only advisor that she is happy with. Smart move.
Smart Midwest women do not take up with those guys who only want to buy them dinner first.
And, thank you to
all of our regularly helpful posters who have added information here to be helpful to the OP.
(I always count on retiredguy123 to come through — and in this thread, may I especially thank Haggar the CPA.)
Please, carry on. This is such a good thread — for some of us. The rest don’t have to look.
