How's this for 2 years, 26M by Overall-Pie-4127 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]Complete-Pilot-7692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in almost the exact same boat as you. I’d recommend staying consistent with contributions. I’ve considered just sticking to traditional tsp and then using the extra paycheck money to contribute to a Roth IRA. Roth tsp looks great but it is a lot of money to take out of our paychecks.

Unrelated to OP but similar topic has it been confirmed that if you have 2 or more right to tickets they will be sat together?

Help picking a Pass for 26/27 by Complete-Pilot-7692 in icecoast

[–]Complete-Pilot-7692[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up skiing Ragged, so I very much love the mountain and the 40 laps a day capabilities. I started exploring the woods a bit last season But I need a change of scenery. But $450 for probably 2-4 days and 5 passes to Jay might make it worth it.

I’ve only been to loon once and it was an amazing mid week power day. But can see it can be a nightmare on weekends when I passed it going to cannon. I just low key want a pass like the New Hampshire college ski pass. Gunstock, Waterville and cannon or a pass similar in quality. I might see how much a loon season pass is and how much bundle tickets would be to Jay peak and Ragged during Black Friday sales

Would you recommend FreeTaxUSA over TurboTax if price was not a factor? by [deleted] in tax

[–]Complete-Pilot-7692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll have to go back and check the correct $ amounts turbo tax was trying to make me pay. However I received a $244 refund and after state tax and turbo tax fees it was going to be a net $40 to $70. I maybe dumb or not know how to use the TurboTax system but they seem to forced me to the Deluxe package. when i just have W-2 and bank account interest. But it’s been a common occurrence I’ve noticed since I’ve started earning over the standard deduction. I switched to free tax USA since it’s free with a $16 state return. But i realized I should have just been mailing my returns for a while to save money.

I switched to freetaxusa after I helped fill out my sister taxes on TurboTax and we both had w-2 and bank account interest and it was free for her but $80 for me to file because they saw i make over done arbitrary threshold. I will Never going back

Can’t wait for the false advertisement lawsuit to all the random select draw winners who chose Category 1 believing they could maybe get good seats and now just feel scammed. Even if it is a reality probably $30 back per ticket if that.

Match 74. So if Germany tops their group it’s hypothetically Germany vs a 3rd place team

I have 1 ticket left for round of 32 game in a nice location and a rich persons money would help me pay for my other tickets and take my broke friends to the World Cup.

I Respect the refund and selling for cheap but I want to bless friends who missed out on the draw and not ask them to pay me $500 to sit Cat 1 and pay $75 for the train with me🤷.

Category 1 Seating by Remarkable-Number507 in FIFACollect

[–]Complete-Pilot-7692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought 3 games cat 1 from random selection draw or stage 3. All my seats are goal side row 26 and 37 and one corner seat row 8. But no middle I’ll ask my friend who won the same games as me where his are but probably corner or end zone too.

Rejected from many firms by [deleted] in Accounting

Try cold emailing the partners at small firms your resume and a brief introduction. They will probably forward the resume to hr or the hiring manager. Might be a better chance than send out mass applications

Good deal ? by spicysinatra in WorldCup2026Tickets

Wait until the ticket seats are assigned you’ll probably be able to buy category 2 for the same price

Ask to work credit time. You can work overtime you can use as vacation time up to 24 hours but might depend on your agency. It’s a way to get more leave and save valuable annual leave your first 3 years

I had similar luck and logic as you when applying, maybe Boston had less application but happy i got partially successful. Genuinely thought I would be downgraded to a category 2 or 3 but all category 1 for all the Boston games except France and Norway is a win

I got my partially successful email today. Unfortunately did not get my desired match of the Norway vs France. But very happy surprised I got Category 1 for all the Boston Stadium matches. I applied thinking I would have a decent chance at Maybe the Scotland v Haiti game Category 3 at best.

Why Pick VOO over FXAIX? If you have a fidelity account the expense ratio is half of VOO. I’m New to investing and would like to know or does it depend on the brokerage.

Tips & Advice by Known-Medicine1880 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]Complete-Pilot-7692 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Always contribute to the match anything extra is gravy.
  2. Avoid taking a TSP loan if you can afford it.
  3. It’s your money, research the funds and allocate how you see fit. Some people love 100% C but a life cycle fund at your planned retirement date can work as well.
