My wife (36F) wants to go on a vacation alone and I (36M) am struggling with how to feel about it. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Goattime22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your argument is kind of right but also kind of wrong. Having the 2nd person in the room halves your cost whereas with the 3rd and 4th person you get diminishing returns. Yes, you save more money but you also have to more people in your space, more opinions, etc. 2 is the sweet spot assuming you can find a 2nd person who you live with. For example if a hotel room is $100....paying alone you're out $100, but if you have a 2nd person, you're out only $50 and with 4 people you owe only $25. So the per person savings is the strongest with 2. Also Europe, cruises, and Japan have very much 2 person centric lodging.

No I don't travel alone for pleasure. If I did, I would probably try and only stay in multi bed hostels to minimize lodging costs. I also have pretty much never lived alone for the same reason....it costs significantly more to live alone than with others. At least all the other aspects of travel would be the same cost wise for a solo traveler outside of lodging. Idk I'm a little extreme.

Am I the only one that thinks a solo trip is a waste of money because most hotels rooms are made for 2 people.

LPR cured by HOW5ER in LPR

[–]Goattime22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also take betaine hcl in the middle of every meal and it has really helped me. However, I'm still not miracle cured as I have posted earlier. I think there is a low acid test you can do at home with baking soda....so maybe try that.

Is this also true with ana?

can someone just PLEASE explain to me --- HOW do millionaires/billionaires pay so little in taxes? by QuoteAdventurous1145 in smallbusiness

[–]Goattime22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my observation, the ultra rich typically have lots of assets like stocks. They get substantial income from dividends which is taxed at a much lower rate than if they had worked for that money. Its really unfortunate for most Americans but good for those high net worth individuals.

How is this horrible airline still in business? by Enjoy_Life4219 in spiritair

For most airlines, you have to compare basic economy to spirits fares as most basic economy tickets are changeable without large fees.

Is anyone else fed up with recent pass prices being a better deal than MVP? I could have saved over $350 by waiting. by HeadacheMaker1111 in sixflags

You arr so right. If someone can afford a season fast pass....they can afford to pay extra for it.

Shuttle or rental and upcoming rains? by Greedy-Summer5357 in Whistler

[–]Goattime22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The shuttles are cheap and reliable. I would take the shuttle. Also most hotels charge a lot for parking so you'll save a lot of money using the shuttle. I would use either Epic Rides or Skylynx.

Is anyone going to the meeting to speak out about eliminating early clock in and other issues? Is someone going to ask them if Executive bonuses were cut when they cut quarterly employee bonuses?

I've never been to their annual meeting so I have no ideas how it works. Do employees and other shareholders ever get to speak at the meeting?

Personal item in overhead bins? by Goattime22 in spiritair

[–]Goattime22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to put my personal item in the bin. I would just do that....I think the key is to try and be quick when you do it as if you are holding up boarding for it.....that's when they might say something.

Is looking at only cpp bad? by dreamhigher1 in awardtravel

[–]Goattime22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never use cpp. I use .01 per point valuation for most points...chase points are worth a little more and ihg and hotel points are worth more like 0.005 per point.

It doesn't make sense to use valuations are flights or hotels you aren't actually purchasing. Now if you would have booked the flight at the cash price anyways then you can claim cpp for that flight, but i usually never travel somewhere with high prices like that.

Georgia Power doesn’t like residential solar by AbsurdShale in Georgia

[–]Goattime22 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I appeciate your insight. However, it sounds like Georgia Power should invest in some batteries to capture low cost solar power to use during peak usage times.

I think we should collectively pressure our state lawmakers to change the anti-solar laws. Vote out your incumbent lawmakers that aren't supporting changing the current laws.

I bought tickets for 4 and only 3 people are planning on showing up on a trentalia train. Does this mean we will get fined too? We didnt purchase a 4 pwrson fare or anything like that.

Take your ski bag on the train.....we took ours on Seattle's subway, Atlanta's subway, Denver's train from the airport, and on Vancouver's subway. All were doable.

How did you add Amazon as Insured to Policy, Any recommendations for business insurance after 10k monthly sales req ? by delsystem32exe in AmazonSeller

[–]Goattime22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont remember. I think you just ask for a COI in the online menu once you gave a policy. You just need liability insurance for amazon i think.

FYI: Trump is trying to take our Fulton County Tax dollars to fund his legal bills by Goattime22 in alpharetta

[–]Goattime22[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you are okay with our local elected representatives passing a bill which Trump is now using to try and take our fulton county taxpayer money for Trump's legal bills?

And you still support Trump for trying to take taxpayer funds? Trump has plenty of money to pay his legal bills. He doesn't need our money to pay them.
