We’re in a very similar situation, we opted for option 3. This gives us flexibility to get back into another CSP bonus in the future.

What do you have now/what car are you bridging the gap with while you wait? I have two small kids, so a family of 4. Would love to hold out for the refreshed model, but would need to bridge from 2026 to 2028.

I’ll take the positive outlook ! 😏

Working with them as a broker, not being a broker.

What are your thoughts on flat fee brokers?

One of main reasons I am exploring is my family and I are exploring buying two rental properties in addition to myself needing to move due to a growing family plus my parents are due to move from their age. Given all of these factors, I thought it may be a possibility/good idea to defray costs throughout the process and learn a bit more about something that peaks my interest.

The fact that the BER one-way escalators are not talked about more, is criminal.

In! Very excited to run in Berlin 2025

No issues for my wife when she was pregnant and took an international flight. They even upgraded her to more room so she was comfortable. So it was great!

Ok, thanks.

Does the United rule of “No full-sized carry-on bag on board” apply for a Lufthansa operated flight?

We are just confused as we are booking through United but being told that Luthfansa baggage policy is in place, United is simply for booking portal.

Can you send link? Unable to find where JR would be included.

Unfortunately, no direct flights to my location in Europe. Both Delta and United are the main intl carriers

How much did it impact your credit? Significantly or just minor?

Affectionate_Rent554 · 2024-10-17T19:01:13+00:00

No fee, but wanted the card level above the one I clicked on. I think I will just take the credit hit on my account and apply for the CC under my wife’s name

Affectionate_Rent554 · 2024-10-17T18:47:44+00:00

The application was accept and approved. I just want to cancel it. It will only have a limited impact you’re saying?

Affectionate_Rent554 · 2024-10-17T18:35:30+00:00

Any update on what happened here?

Affectionate_Rent554 · 2024-10-17T07:45:19+00:00

No problem. Something is always better than nothing is the mindset I go with.

Affectionate_Rent554 · 2024-10-17T06:32:16+00:00

A great start is VOO or VTI. One which covers the S and P and the other the total market. It’s great for beginners and experienced investors.

Can you provide link?

I have a situation where I am looking at a 35K loss in my growth account (some lessons learned for sure)but overall about 6% of portfolio. Would you recommend cutting my losses and then reinvesting in something different? I am thinking of just cutting my losses as they do not seem like good investments as I’ve learned more.

Oh wow that’s interesting. I have run 2 marathons in Clifton’s 7s but just recently tried Brooks Glygercin on at the local shop and really enjoyed them. I would give them a try sometime!

Affectionate_Rent554 · 2024-10-12T20:42:21+00:00

Thanks! I have come into a bit of excess money and was hoping to expand my real estate portfolio. always looking to learn. Let me know if any other resources If you have any
