We’re as far from 2003 as 2003 was from the release of Return of the Jedi. Big oof

>-Are there any taxes I should be aware of or plan for?

I'm not a lawyer or CPA but your cost basis in the stocks should be set on the day your family member passed away. So just look up the stock price of your different holdings on that day and that'll tell you whether you have any appreciation on which to pay taxes when you sell.

I'll just chime in on point 3 - definitely not too short a timeline to utilize a HYSA. All the big ones are the same - we use Marcus by Goldman Sachs and like them just fine. Currently paying 3.75%

FreeTaxUSA is it for sure - $14.95 to file, as easy as TurboTax at a fraction of the price (and without the shitty government lobbying)

Dang! When did you go?

I started going in 2019? 2018? and went three times last year - haven't had a bad meal yet. Even though with the Tawle you're getting 95% the same stuff on each visit I never get tired of it. We had a big group one night and I took home all the leftovers and feasted for like four more days. Can't get enough of it.

EDIT: I do miss the pre-pandemic days though when they'd bring out like 10-12 different dips/condiments. I could make a meal of their fresh bread dipped in different combinations of those condiments

Maydān not making the top 25 while 2 Amy’s and Le Dip do invalidates the whole thing for me.

But obviously people love restaurants and lists and lists of restaurants so here we are

Admittedly I haven't been to every restaurant on that list but Le Dip makes it and Maydān is out? Blasphemy
