I'm in a holding pattern with money and whenever I try to talk to my cards about it they tell me things like "hey, don't focus so much on money" or "don't ruin your peace by worrying about finances" and I'm just like *what peace am I having??*

There's also another thing that happened several months ago. I'm in the process of getting my shit together for a business that I hope will actually be passed down to my children. This is the big reason I keep talking to my cards about money stuff. Anyway, back in July or August they kept telling me that I was going to receive an inheritance but unscrupulous people would try to prevent me from getting it. The thing is I've been estranged from my mother for over 20 years and she's the only conceivable person who could or would leave me an inheritance. Her husband and daughter also would absolutely try to prevent me from getting it. So this got into my head because I don't actually want my mother to die! My life is so much better without her in it, but that doesn't mean I wish her dead! Well, here we are and as far as I know she's alive. I should also mention that even before I went no contact I never expected anything from her. So, tonight I kinda wanted an explanation for the several months of low key stress that it would happen. Do you know what my cards told me? All the way across it was telling me that I'm letting go of the idea of receiving an inheritance - that I never even asked about in the first place!!! I was asking about my business plan trajectory ffs.

I don't know man. Maybe they're just messing with me lol

EDITED because the first question was answered - left up in the hope that someone can give me information about the second one. Basically I want to see if they're hiring, but I don't know what the job is called or what department it's in.###

I'm also curious if anyone knows anything about the department within the department of agriculture that's processing the sf3100s (the pay cards for FERS refunds). I'm really curious if they're hiring because it's so backlogged.

I just called for an update on my case and while there's no news on mine (rec'd 1/3, logged 3/27) and it's still not assigned - I did find out something about the sf3100s. Apparently what someone else said is technically true! They looked into it and was told it was instantly sent to OPM but there's a caveat to that - only from agencies that have digitized them! So, ASK if they can see if your agency digitized or not.

I'm former IRS so obviously mine won't be instant. It sucks but I have a better understanding of what to expect after that call. I figured someone might appreciate the insight. At the very least it explains why some people are getting theirs a lot sooner.

You know, on top of this process being ridiculously long, it's also so opaque compared to every other retirement fund! It's really shady when you think about it and it's infuriating.

So my attorney sent me links to different programs for replacing my vehicle. I'm looking into them but I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with any of them? He said he had clients who had good results with 722Redemption and FreshStart-HeadStart.

I had planned to go with Carvana and then refinance after 3 months or so. But, maybe using one of those programs would be a better idea. There's a few other suggestions, as well : Ash Auto Group, Bankruptcy Drive, and Automotive Fresh Start Center.

Has anyone used any of these?
