Offers are coming in and this is through my current lender. It's obviously a good thing to do in the long run...however. I am considering selling the house in a couple years so my future wife and I can cosign and upgrade. Am I paying the fee ($1,109.76) for nothing if I just plan on selling it...

Reaching out to just hear thoughts and opinions. I know the right answer is to talk to a loan officer/RE agent/Lawyer. But my father is 80. He lives of social security and inflation has pretty much wiped him out to where he can’t buy groceries anymore. So I’ve been looking into different ways...

BLUF: Are there people here are, or know, people who live as full-time RVers even on sea duty? I'd like to draw upon their experience and really see if this is the right move for me. When I PCS to my next duty station, I'm considering selling all my furniture and dramatically downsizing to save...

I did the questionnaire for a USSA Life Insurance Policy and got quoted at $37 a month. I am a pretty healthy guy, but I still figured that rate would go up slightly after the blood work, urinalysis, etc. Well they set me up at this appointment with Quest Diagnostics and the place had a 2.8 star...

It was suggested I x-post from /r/ThriftSavingsPlan. The original is here. This post is for those who ask about asset allocation (AA) in TSP. It is also for those who say they don't understand investing, finance, or the TSP. Which fund is the best, why, etc? No one can answer this question for...

Hello, If I switch my TSP allocation/contribution from G Fund to C Fund, will this violate any BRS policies? Essentially: Once it is switched, will the military still match me at 5%? Thank you!
