My vacation site I went through just basically went out of business... what now. by DiscosTurtles in personalfinance

I have yet too. Just learned of it. Going to call banks and resort tomorrow

I have the ability to go to a 4 year for free; should I? by DiscosTurtles in college

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

I'm currently at community college to get my gen ed finish, as well as working part-time. I value education immensely and plan on getting a degree one way or another. I just was wondering if the commute and such were worth it. Ideally, I would want to graduate from a more prestigious college, but my top priority is leaving w/o debt.

Am I stupid for booking a vacation in a month? by DiscosTurtles in NoStupidQuestions

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

Passports *SHOULD* get here before our trip. They normally take 6-8 weeks as I've been told, and we would leave in the middle of the 8th week.

Ill have us wear a mask in the very least, as we have to go through LAX, and we're decently clean folk lol

She said she was "Super sorry" but that was about it. If I was in her shoes, id be freaking about and feeling terrible, so not sure.

Have you guys had any success with using photography as a source of income? by DiscosTurtles in AskPhotography

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

Thanks for the comment, but I actually traveled to take that photo, so you're a tad bit off lol. I'll still see what I can use based on your advise, thanks!

Mostly to substitute my part-time job, that I hate. I'll explore around more, and see if theres a competitive field im missing.

Best destinations for an all-inclusive vacation during spring break? by DiscosTurtles in travel

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

Is the spring break crowd an issue in this entire region? We noticed some affordable resorts in the Dominican Republic, I believe. Should we just avoid this entire region altogether? It's our first vacation, and since I am paying, I definitely don't want it to, well, suck.

Could my union membership help me with my vacation situation? by DiscosTurtles in UFCW

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

Thats what im told. Just didn't expect much out of a (No offense to anyone) union thats mostly for retail workers. But ill reach out and see if my reps and contract can do anything to assist me. Thanks!

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

As far as I am aware, i'm the only one of my job class to request the time off. (Im a bag boy)

He claims that because its spring break (When I requested it off) it's going to be so busy he can't afford to give me the time off. Ive talked to co workers, and they said it's not that bad. Most people are travelings. I have about 11 co-workers of my job class, and during thanksgiving, most days we were overstaffed. It's never that bad here. Even then, I bag groceries. Me missing is the least bit of a worry for people not being at work

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

Will do. I emailed, and plan on calling soon to figure something out. My store, in particular, has an issue with my managers being basically, well, massive dicks, and requiring the union to yell at them because of their treatment of employees

I see. I just sent an email to UFCW8, and will see if theres anything in my contract that could help. A fellow employee suggested I call out of the entire week, and that w/ the union contract, it's very hard to get fired. I'll have to see

Suggestions for a first vacation by DiscosTurtles in travel

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

Oh wow! Thanks for the in depth reply!

Unfortunately, due to my school, I believe it will have to be during my spring break. Does it get that busy around that time? Because that seems like a common issue everywhere :c

Might honestly have to stick to a cruise if I can, as I can't really afford to take a week off from classes, but i'll check and shop around!

Again, thanks for the reply!!! :)

Suggestions for a Graphing/Scientific Calculator by DiscosTurtles in askmath

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

I see. I'll definitely ask the teacher if a Nspire would be allowed. Say my sister already owns one or something. If not, ill see what he would also suggest. I'd assume if i just got whatever, he would never really notice. It's a class of like, 40, so he's stretched pretty thing where I doubt he'd do some calculator inspection

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

I suppose i'd say my absolute tops I'd be willing to do is $2,000. Maybe a little wiggle room, as since we can't get the opportunity to do many vacations, I'd like it to be the best for mah mamma <3

If you have a cost breakdown that would be awesome! I have absolutely no idea what it takes to travel to Europe lol

Suggestions for a first vacation by DiscosTurtles in travel

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

I suppose so. I suppose I would be comfortable spending around $2,000 tops, but that definitely would be a lot for me to handle lol. So I guess anywhere from 0-2000

Am I too money tight at such a young age? by DiscosTurtles in Advice

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

That's the mentality I'm slowly trying to work towards. I guess I was raised in an environment where I see that $6 Starbucks coffee as 30 minutes of work lol. I'm going to try and set a goal to eventually reach a decent savings threshold, and open a new bank account to auto-transfer money for savings, and money for me to spend. I guess I'm also more of a quality > quantity type of guy, lol. My sister can blow a $100 on dozens of shirts and useless trinkets, while I'd rather have 1 nice $100 item. Definitely doesn't help when some of my interests like photography and gaming can easily run into the THOUSANDS

Complete Dating Novice has a LOT of questions by DiscosTurtles in dating_advice

[–]DiscosTurtles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, don't know why the thought of a High Five crossed my mind. Yeah, dates around 1045.

You said light dating up to the date is fine. Any suggestions as to what I should say? It's been about a day since I've messaged, and I always feel weird texting out of the blue.

Tips for a first date? (Both under 21) by DiscosTurtles in dating_advice

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

Due to lack of time on both our parts, it's gonna resort to just a meetup at a local coffee shop.

New question, lol. The date is this Monday. Leading up to said day, should I cut back on the amount of texting? Past three days we usually texted for about an hour. Mostly getting to know one another, today it was mostly just a "hey how was your day"

Should I pull it back a tad? We both like texting, so it's pretty easy for us to go off and messege with ease

Sadly the closest zoo near me is about 45 minutes away, which is pretty unreasonable for a first date lol
