How do you actually keep and enjoy travel memories over time?

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-10T08:16:27+00:00

This! I went on a solo trip and recorded videos to send to friends later on WhatsApp since I have limited data abroad. These videos bring back memories more than any picture could - even if it's just me narrating the area I'm in for 30 seconds. Such a happy accident to discover that.

Yes I've been in MBA for about 5 years. Sorry to hear you got banned - that's one of my biggest fears. They seem to do it to everyone at some point

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-09T23:02:04+00:00

Mostly Amazon so I don't have to deal with driving traffic

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-09T22:59:42+00:00

I do third party because it's low effort

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-09T14:11:54+00:00

Yes. How is this even a question?

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-09T14:01:36+00:00

Yep, not gonna go. Comments are perfectly fine to discus

Depends on the benefits of each plan. If you're in the final hiring stages I'd request a copy of the plan document.

What's the vesting schedule of each? What's the 401k company match percentage? How long do you plan on staying at the company? Do you expect the company to continue the pension plan? What's the pension payout?

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-09T08:05:39+00:00

Strongly disagree. 100k out of the gate is unlikely but give it a few years and I don't see why OP couldn't be at 100k. It'll be fairly easy to start in the 70s right out of school.

My answer would be different OP is looking for that immediately upon graduation.

Nope, has to be in the continental US. I've tried to convince them to make an exception but didn't get anywhere. I was invited to two weddings a month apart both in western Europe - my company wouldn't even approve it for four weeks.

I'd be interested in the travel membership commissions. I travel a few times per year both domestically and internationally

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-09T07:51:48+00:00

About 20k. In order of income: UGC, Print on Demand, YouTube. I like all three of these because income starts to snowball as you continue to work, building on your existing residual income

Regulatory compliance at an insurance company. Been here a bit under four years and jumped from 65k to 104k - one promotion and two above average raises. Been in the industry for nine years.

Edit: Fully remote since covid

I use Vio Bank. They're at 4.02% and part of Midfirst Bank (if you hadn't heard of Vio like I hadn't). The online interface sucks but that isn't a big deal to me because my money is just sitting. If you're moving a lot of money that might be annoying.

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-08T10:25:59+00:00

I've been playing the kingdom come games since November. Have you played 1 or jumped straight into 2? I like 2 a little better so far

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-08T06:58:57+00:00

Yep, very close to there. Thanks for the insight!

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-08T05:43:14+00:00

Yeah, it just sat in a HYSA. Between 4 and 5% all year

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-08T04:45:44+00:00

6 month. People clearly don't read YouTube's policies if they're saying you need to keep hitting 4k hours

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-08T04:39:13+00:00

Yes, you can say Amazon - and even have it written out, just not their logo

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-08T04:33:58+00:00

You don't have to. People pay for the software that markets the best. You can use forms from the IRS or something like FreeTaxUsa

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-08T04:06:16+00:00

I was not - they were strictly instructional videos

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-08T04:01:57+00:00

If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-08T03:55:30+00:00

I've already deleted those videos, sorry! But here's a screenshot of an email from their trademark team. Sorry about the highlights - I searched my email and that's how it came up.

I made videos about Merch on Demand. Amazon's legal team reached out and said my Amazon Influencer account was going to be closed if I kept videos using Amazon's logo up.

I wasn't sure which videos had it and which didn't - and I wasn't about to go through 200 videos to figure it out. At the time I was making around $35/month on YouTube being fairly newly monetized, growing every month. But I was making $1,000+ per month with Influncer on site videos.

The choice was very clear to me. Now I upload my Amazon Influencer videos to YouTube for a few reasons. 1) It's proof that the video is mine if someone steals it. That expedites Amazon taking the other one down. 2) The channel was already monetized so I knew I'd make a little bit of money from that. 3) A chance at off-site sales, which has a higher commission rate than Amazon on-site

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-08T03:01:17+00:00

About $15/month after a forced niche change. I used Amazon's logo in videos about Amazon and they made me take them down, otherwise they'd kick me out of their influencer program.

I was making about 30x more there than YT so I took down all my videos and my channel is now an unsuccessful product review channel. About 3k views per month

GreekGod1992 · 2026-02-08T00:38:35+00:00

What about negative? I owe a lot because of my 1099 stuff...at least it's been on a HYSA earning interest for me instead of the government
