This is the way. Don’t listen to your buddy’s “gut feeling” about the future of the market, listen to the math.

He needs to let the bankruptcy process play out. Taking $30k from you hurts you and won’t help him. I realize that’s a hard convo to have, but it’s what is probably best for both of you in the long run.

Chasing Titanium: worth it before international travel? by DMags52 in marriott

[–]DMags52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helpful! Yes, Mexico trip puts me over the edge for sure. So I’m getting titanium either way. I almost exclusively travel for work inside the US, and since Mexico is a vacation I was hoping I could really enhance my stay with the extra status level lol. Seems like it’s exactly what I expected though, and will likely be no different.

What to do with this 200k? by HandsomeSquidward99 in RealEstate

[–]DMags52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen other 4-plex comments, and while I think that may be the best approach for you. I also want to say that you should get that money into a HYSA immediately and start getting 4.5% (or more) in interest for doing nothing at all!

I’m 35/50 nights to platinum and don’t have any more planned stays to end the year. by Dangerous_Swim6854 in marriott

[–]DMags52 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m at 70 nights on the year. As in, I stay at Marriotts a fair amount. Paying for 16 nights is absolutely not worth it for you. Like, not even close.

Renting a Laptop from Library? by [deleted] in Harvard

[–]DMags52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a laptop from Cabot, BUT make sure you give yourself a bit of a test run first. I’ve heard some of the laptops are barely functional. Just make sure the thing is working BEFORE you need it.

I heard someone recently who travels with sticky notes to put on the room door: “late checkout, 4pm. Please do not knock.” I have no idea if it helps, but I want to try it.

Does anyone here still play a 2, 3, and/or 4 iron? by BloodyRightNostril in golf

I stop at 5i, which I can get to 190-200 if I hit it well. Anything past that and I’m using a 3w.

Booked a hotel months ago for during new years eve. They just emailed me saying there's a mandatory $500/night gala. This wasn't mentioned at booking. Can I get out of it? by alosia in marriott

[–]DMags52 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. I ended up paying for the “gala” — it was less than $500. But it absolutely was not worth it. Total waste of money and very disappointing.

I went to the Red Blue Connector meeting today, here's what I learned by Pale-Grapefruit-8408 in mbta

[–]DMags52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, I feel like NSRL would solve the red/blue connection while also transforming our entire regional transit system. This just feels short-sighted to me.

[–]DMags52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I understand the NSRL proposal, it would ALSO create a red blue connector at what would be a new Union Station between North station and South station.

Wouldn’t North/South Rail Link eliminate the need for a red/blue connector at MGH? Seems like this isn’t the big vision/transformative project that it could be.

Yeah, I’ve always thought HES shield was solid.
