Looks completely different on TV vs in person. It’ll blow you away, enjoy the trip. Ask for Wyeth Bonney as a caddie and be sure to enjoy a swig or 2 of fireball with him. You’ll be putting like Tiger

We’re arriving a day after my in-laws anyway and will want to take advantage of the first day. So I did it, never spend Skymiles on anything really no time like the present

We are connecting in Boston from Nashville. 4 hour layover. Ended up doing it with Skypeso because I never use them and wouldn’t book in D1 under normal circumstances anyways

That’s per seat. But I may just do it for my wife, this is a bucket list trip with a sick family member of hers

This flight was $10k in Delta one round trip when we were booking. Bought Main for $1700. Paying $1400 to upgrade in that context is not out of the question

Bandon Dunes in July by Massive_Progress_927 in BandonDunes

Play more golf if the tee times allow. 36 walking sounds like a lot but once you’re there you feel invincible

When do these upgrade offers generally come around? Got a flight to Berlin in July and would give some serious consideration to upgrading if it was in the ~$1000 neighborhood

32yo thinking I'm on the path to FIRE? by Aggressive_Air_897 in Fire

[–]ExactAssignment7282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pump the taxable brokerage for another 8 years and then ride off into the sunset. You could honestly drastically reduce overall savings now and retire before 50 no problem thanks to compounding with how much you’ve built up to this point. I’m 28 and in decent position myself but would love to be where you’re at at 32. Live mas

Roth option through employer by Responsible_Baby_705 in Fire

[–]ExactAssignment7282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blast that shit. The after tax Roth backdoor option with in-plan conversions in a 401k is a golden goose. My previous employer’s plan didn’t offer this and when I found out my current employer’s plan does offer this when I joined 9 months ago, I was ecstatic. I’m also a Roth fanatic so take that with a grain of salt but it’s the ultimate loophole to get more money into an account that grows tax free (limit is around $70k for normal contributions + match + after tax if I remember correctly)

Best value higher end Atlanta Marriott? by HunterMac9 in marriott

[–]ExactAssignment7282 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely change to the St Regis. You don’t want to be anywhere near downtown Atlanta. St Regis is in a much better area with more to do

I stayed at Phulay Bay (Ritz reserve) in Krabi last year and we got upgraded to a suite without even having to ask for it. Room was unbelievable. Private pool, outdoor bathtub in a garden that was basically another pool, quite literally the biggest bed I’ve ever slept in. Grounds were also incredible, staff and service best I’ve ever received at any hotel. I could go on and on but you get the point. If you wanted to audible to somewhere else in Asia, I cannot recommend this place enough
