I have Roth IRA accounts in both etrade and Fidelity. In my Fidelity account, I can look under the 'performance' and easily see the TOTAL amount I have contributed over the life of the account. Since, under IRS guidelines, the total amount contributed to the account is the amount you can withdraw without a penalty, this is an extremely important piece of information. It also is what I would consider a really basic piece of information.

I tried to find the same information for my etrade Roth and was told they don't have that information because my account is more than 7 years old and that I could possibly contact the IRS to get it.

I understand not keeping individual documents and records over 7 years, but I do NOT understand the failure to keep track of the total amount contributed to the Roth IRA. Again, that is a critical piece of information because that's the amount I can withdraw from the account without penalty.

I think etrade has really failed their customers.

I plan to rollover my account to Fidelity.

I’m 46f and single. A close friend of mine just got engaged. I’m genuinely happy for him, but I haven’t been prepared for the loneliness of watching my friends move on to new stages of their lives (long-term relationships, marriage, kids) while I stay single and live alone. It’s a loneliness and experience that I wasn’t prepared for and didn’t anticipate.

Hello,

I have some mice that I can’t get rid of and I need to have a pest control company come seal all entrances to my apartment.

I have a dog and a cat.

Does anyone have any pest control companies that you recommend?

Hello everyone,

The title says it all. I'm trying to learn how to remain open and hopeful while fully accepting that I may never find a partner. Advice is welcome!

For context, I (46f) have only dated about 4 or 5 people in my entire life and routinely go at least 5 years without having a single date.

Please don't give the advice of getting out more. I have hobbies, I meet people regularly, I have a lot of friends and a good job. I cohost events.

Just, whatever that special something is that makes people want to date someone, I don't have it. I do have sexual partners, just not romantic partners.

I know it's only going to get harder as I get older. I want to learn how to fully accept that I will probably never find a partner.
