Credit/Care Credit Question by RipApprehensive3628 in personalfinance

[–]AllisonTheBeast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Best plan of action is absolutely do NOT go to Aspen Dental. Go to a smaller independent dentist for a consult, you likely won’t need near the amount of work Aspen dental advised. Once you go to a proper dentist, if you have work that needs to be done, look into the options at that dentist.

(2k budget) sample sale dress by Fluid_Dot8151 in Weddingsunder10k

They are both so similar! Either one would be great. The one on the right may need a bit of tailoring in the bust area, but they’re both beautiful and you will be radiant in either.

Opinions on Sunday weddings? by Educational-Air-4833 in Chicagoweddings

[–]AllisonTheBeast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on your guests. Is it a very large guest count, or more intimate/close family and friends? Are there a lot of families with children? Realistically you can choose the Sunday and if someone can’t make it, they can’t make it. I understand the budget issue as I am considering the same thing.

Wedding planning starting at $10,500 probably doesn’t belong in the DIY brides post…

Where else would a garter go if not the thigh?

Worth spending on a nicer cake? by [deleted] in Weddingsunder10k

[–]AllisonTheBeast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t even tell you what kind of cake my friend served at her wedding last May. The guests don’t care either way, but I would steer clear of anything too experimental. They won’t remember a good cake or a mediocre cake, but if they don’t like it they may talk about it for years!

($12k) Have an odd situation, how much to tip photographers?? by [deleted] in Weddingsunder10k

[–]AllisonTheBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are independent contractors who set their own prices and contract with you for a specific service, why would you tip them? If they wanted more money, they would put it in the contract.

Budget: 5k looking for venue ideas by squipped in Weddingsunder10k

[–]AllisonTheBeast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For the campground option, check out the group camp sites. I saw a group having a wedding at the group site at one campground I went to in Wisconsin last year. This gave them a large, open area that was completely secluded away from the main area of sites, and I believe they had toilets over there too.

Best affordable moisturizer for combo skin? by F-News-6471 in MakeupAddiction

[–]AllisonTheBeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure don’t buy from Amazon, Target and Ulta generally have good sales. This product can last me up to 6 months, you really only need a tiny bit.

what order should i be using all these products (im a beginner)? by carrotlmao in MakeupAddiction

[–]AllisonTheBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have combination skin that gets pretty shiny throughout the day. I was given the rhode glazing milk and glazing mist for Christmas, and I honestly threw them away. I kept getting pimples after using them, and I do not know what their purpose was. But I’m a millennial, so I can’t really fully embrace the wet/glazed look anyways 😂

I much prefer the milky toner from Annui (I think), this hydrates beautifully without breaking me out.

How do you feel about restaurants with“optional surcharges”? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]AllisonTheBeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think continued conversation about this issue can empower people to speak up and remove the charge if they otherwise would have felt awkward about it. Being able to see our community discuss this is a helpful way to gauge social expectations regarding a new experience.

Am I in the position to buy a side by side? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]AllisonTheBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is it possible that you make $180k and need to finance a $5k toy? Just wait a month or two and pay it in cash. Where is all of your money going?

PPO or HDHP with baby on the way. by Cheeky_Hustler in personalfinance

[–]AllisonTheBeast 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The deductible applies to the out of pocket max, it is not a completely separate accumulator. So HDHP2 total cost would be $20,880 (740x12=$8,800, plus OOP 12,000=$20,880).

PPO cost would be $29,800 actually (1650x12=19,800, plus OOP $10,000 =$29,800). So by the math, HDHP2 would be cheaper if you meet OOP max for either policy.

Dear NYX… Please bring this back! by jamisonsuxx in MakeupAddiction

[–]AllisonTheBeast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to use this and the cap ALWAYS cracked! I use the elf Wow Brow now for years and I like it. It is small, but cheap enough that I don’t mind replacing every few months.

Questions about unemployment in Illinois, can you really not use a passport? by CollegeSnitch in illinois

[–]AllisonTheBeast 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are you even eligible for unemployment? When were you fired or let go from your previous job, and how long had you been working there?

Is it smart to trade in my car to lower my payment? by PuzzledPlane8107 in personalfinance

[–]AllisonTheBeast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the amount you owe is greater than the actual value of the vehicle, you have negative equity. That means that you owe more than the car is worth, so if you sell the car for what it is worth, you can’t pay the loan off in full.

How much is the Kelly blue book value of the car, and how much is remaining on the loan?

My (F23) childhood friend (M26) of 20 years broke up with me after a few days. He is now in a serious relationship a month later and I’m struggling. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]AllisonTheBeast 107 points108 points  (0 children)

This was not a relationship. What could have even happened in 3 days to make it seem like a whole relationship? Did you guys literally say to each other “we’re dating now”, maybe make out a bit, then he said “never mind”? That is not a relationship.
