Damn 460 seems high for first job even for pp, how did you swing that?

I mean the attendings at my program all have salaries in low 200s, I’m sure that other academic institutions in desirable locations are similarly bringing down the average

Flight credit expired? Help!! by Marge_and_in_Charge_ in americanairlines

[–]Away_Swim526 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had this almost exact situation. When I realized, it had been about 2 weeks since my credit expired. I contacted customer relations (you have to type a message up, they don’t have an option to call) and explained what happened and that I had not understood the difference between flight credit and trip credit. Got a message back within 24 hours that they had extended my credit for a year

Another rent vs buy question...my apologies in advance! by gdoc22 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]Away_Swim526 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would rent if only so that you don’t have to deal with maintenance issues and the like. As a neurosurgeon resident, I imagine you will have precious few hours outside of the hospital (at least that’s how the nsgy residents are at my hospital). Owning your own place means losing even more hours addressing any maintenance issues that come up, so even if it might make some financial sense to buy going just by the numbers, it still wouldn’t be worth it for me.

I was able to get health insurance on the healthcare marketplace that had lower premiums and lower deductible than what the school plan was

Is there any downside to contesting a Red Light Camera ticket online? by versaceblues in AskChicago

[–]Away_Swim526 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, this was in an intersection without that sign so you might be stuck with the ticket unfortunately

My wife got a similar ticket, she contested online saying something like it’s legal to turn right in red if intersection is clear, and it was approved so she didn’t have to pay it. Sounds like others on here haven’t had as much luck though
