ATT Mobile Share Advantage Plan

Image
ATT came up with new Shared Data Plan and was available from August 21, 2016. You can continue to use current plan. But once you change to new plan, there is no going back. The new plan claims simple pricing and no overage costs. Then, what is the catch. Here is the extract from ATT article: " Instead of overage charges, after customers use all of their high-speed data amounts, all data usage will be reduced to a maximum of 128 kbps for the rest of their bill cycle ". This is good for those who are not diligent in monitoring their data usage and want a hassle free plan or are using a plan other than 15 GB. For those who are diligent in monitoring the data usage and are in 15GB plan, the new plan is not good. ATT Mobile Share Advantage Plan is a disadvantage for those who are/were on 15GB plan. You can find the charts comparing the cost per line for different data plans in Old and New Plans. The Blue line represents the Old Plan (Mobile Shared Value Plan). The Orange li...

Worry free Investment at WealthFront

Image
I am not good at investing in stocks. I was trying to see what is the best option for me to invest without the need for detailed research. I recently came across WealthFront. It is like a broker that manages your finances for you for a minimal free, much less than the normal fee charged by most people and services. For those who joined and funded before April 1, 2018, the first $10,000 is managed for free and very nominal fee above that. Also you don't have to pay for commissions and transactions on the trade placed on your behalf. The money gets invested automatically in stocks, bonds, mutual funds. It is diversified in many respects including geographic diversification. The type of investments depends on the risk level you choose. You can either answer a few questions to define the risk factor or set the value in the risk meter thats in the range of 1 to 10, 10 being highly risk tolerant. With 10, you are asking WealthFront to invest aggressively and 1 being very safe. The profi...
