This happens to me about once a week the last month - temp is set at 77. Instead of turning off at the set point, it keeps cooling.

Overcool is not turned on, humidity in range. Fan on auto. Display shows the temp is set at 77, current temp 75 and still running. (When it hits 75 is when I realize it's too cold in the house)

The only way to make it stop cooling when it does this is to turn the AC off for a minute and then turn it back on.

AC had a tune up last week and I asked the tech about it, he had never heard of this before. Ideas? A setting I could try changing, or should I just replace the Ecobee?

Where I currently work, I'm at the top of my pay scale at 120k. While I'm happy enough with my current employer, I'm not willing to accept never getting a raise again and intend to update my resume and start looking for a new position. I have been fully remote since long before COVID and do not want to relocate, so a new employer would need to allow me to stay remote.

Our water heater died, it's just under 2 years old. I called for warranty service and they came out today. He tells me it's finished and going to email me the invoice to pay online. So we're standing there together and I get the email.... There is a place for a tip and suggested percentages.

Since when are we expected to tip repairman?! They were here less than an hour, over $200 cost for labor on a hot water heater that's under warranty, and they want a tip?!?!

I hope to retire in 9-10yrs and for various reasons, way behind where I should be in my retirement accounts. I received a small inheritance that I want to get into tax advantaged space. IRA and HSA already full. Inheritance currently sitting in MMF in a taxable account.

I'm able to have up to 100% of my paycheck contributed to my 401k. HR has confirmed It doesn't matter when I hit the max amount, payroll deductions will stop at that time and I'll get the full employer 6% match. My thought is to bump up my paycheck contributions as high as possible, and live off the inheritance money instead of my paycheck for awhile.

What is the downside to this idea? What am I not considering?
