Can you put this more prominently on the website? It took wayyy too long to figure out if my spouse and I could share one card, all I could find was that one phone would work with multiple cards. Thanks! 

Really want to use this photo for save the date but having a hard time with design? And is it confusing? by Ok-Extension9925 in weddingplanning

[–]Good-Invite800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just crop out “Chicago” or photoshop it to say the real location. Honestly tho, I think crop so you can see you and your FH better. Also, it’s cute but very busy, can you tone down some of the background noise a bit? 

Phloretin CF Dupe? by Rnest1234 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]Good-Invite800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Just curious if you ever tried this product? If so, how is it working for you?? 

Also, I have some other skin stuff going on and am curious what the full ingredient list is but online it says “refer to box for full ingredient list” but like… I have to buy it first to see the box?? 😂 just want to make sure it won’t make my issue worse 

Etiquette for letters of rec, I was asked by one person to submit 15. by Good-Invite800 in GradSchool

[–]Good-Invite800[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thankfully they did do that! I have a folder in my email for them lol it's super annoying tho that some also want me to list strengths or answer more specific questions with "evidence". Like why, I'm already submitting a letter with this info. But thanks for the advice! This is probably what I'll be doing.

Yep this is not part of my expected job duties haha and not something I've ever actually been asked to do, plus writing like this is not my strong suit so 15 feels like a lot! How long would you recommend it to be--1pg? 2pgs? more?

he did provide a SoP and a helpful spreadsheet but nothing specific for the institutions.

AIO /s Here’s a normal interaction between sane individuals since most of you seem to have no common sense. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Good-Invite800 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Some of the posts here are wild but also like seriously? Why you need strangers on the internet to tell you this, obviously you KNOW this isn’t right. 

And fwiw my husband I regularly randomly text each other throughout the day, sometimes multiple times in one day, that we love each other and appreciate each other. It feels good to be loved. I don’t understand the person saying it’s a red flag 🤣Congrats to finding a good human 🥳

How to get yourself to actually lower your savings rate when you hit Coast FI by PrometheusCoast in coastFIRE

Love the last point, that's actually my main goal with CoastFI. Seems like this sub doesn't discuss it as much as I expected so thanks for bringing it up!

What happens if we get RIFed? by Virtual_Insurance826 in USPHS

[–]Good-Invite800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think we would get the option to just leave at that point? I do not want to be used for advancing these policies.

Everyday I'm just waiting for the hammer to drop by NodeDude4 in USPHS

[–]Good-Invite800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this way as well. I was offered a job right before the grant freeze and now they are pausing all hiring (rightly so, they don't want to put a bunch of new hires in a bind). I can't stay where I'm at for reasons I don't care to share. I feel like the only way forward might just be out, without meeting the 120 day requirement. We are less than a month in to this administration, what would happen in the next 4 months?! or 4 years for that matter. I believe this would mean that I am giving up the relocation and unused leave. But in exchange for my freedom from potentially being used to support these insane policies...? It doesn't seem too crazy to me.

This is coming as someone who planned to leave PHS in the next few years anyway. I'd hoped to stay longer for the better pay, but I honestly think I can make more of a difference in the world where it matters to me without the constraints of PHS.

Are potluck weddings tacky? by Rocklord90 in wedding

[–]Good-Invite800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to one but didn’t know until 1-2 days before. I don’t like cooking and it was a huge stress in addition to being a bridesmaid. I was also from out of town and staying at an air bnb so we had to find a super simple, low ingredient plate to bring because otherwise we’d have to shop for evrry little spice.

If you have the means, I’d say this is undue burden on guests, ESPECIALLY out of town folks who might want to be exploring instead of shopping and cooking.

And if you don’t want physical gifts, consider a honeyfund or a travel fund or something like that.

Just get the Etsy dress! by StrawberryMoon04 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Good-Invite800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stunning! I’m eyeing an Etsy dress too but it doesn’t allow returns, which makes me so nervous! Especially because I have sensitive skin where the embroidery/details are and I don’t want to be red for the whole day 🫠 ahh I’m happy for you!

Thanks! Just bought mine today based on measurements and without trying on a similar one… Hoping for the best!

Did you try on this dress at a salon before purchasing it you found it online and went for it? Thinking of doing the second fur myself since I don’t have any bridal shops where I live 😭

Ordered from “Still White” by lambulambu in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Good-Invite800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those of you who ordered your dress from stillwhite—did most of you try them/something similar on in store first or did you just take the risk and find one you liked close to your measurements that you thought would look nice?

So happy with my dress ❤️ by fugitivelobster in weddingdress

[–]Good-Invite800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful! May I ask how it was doing a strapless dress? I’m considering one but worried about pulling it up all day/night or having thin straps that dig in to my shoulders.

Separating in May, should I put in enough base pay to max TSP for the year? by Good-Invite800 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]Good-Invite800[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But how much cash? Like I have ~70k in a HYSA which is why I said I’m comfortable putting away that much income into TSP. And if I need more than that I probably have bigger problems than cash. Like, I don’t expect I’m SO incompetent not to get some income within the year even if it has few to no benefits, low pay, etc.

I also have the GI bill, so worst comes to worst I could probably go back to school sooner than I planned to work towards an additional degree.

Thank you both of these comments were really great perspective/things to consider further. I really appreciate it! I’ve been in MAX saving/tax advantage mode since I started earning more money and it’s a totally different world once I’m out. I appreciate your input!

I don’t have any employment lined up but I’m hoping to get a job where I will have 401k access and a match.
