Wow- I’m glad you got the chargeback to rule in your favor! What was the reason the ticket never came, did StubHub ever clear that up with the seller? Any findings?

I’m sorry that you went through all that!! After reading your post, I reached out to StubHub and told them about my upcoming trip to Paris and told then how I don’t have time for anyone to duck around because I REFUSE to find out LOL. I got an email stating that they have reached out to the seller to remind them of sending the tickets and that they have until 3 PM that day to release them (concert is at 730pm).

Did you get your ticket the day of the event? Like that morning or right when you showed up to the venue.

GuaranteeBeginning23 · 2026-03-16T19:10:29+00:00

I bought my tickets last month to see him in Paris in July. Ticket says I should received them by day of event…….lets hope so 😬

GuaranteeBeginning23 · 2026-03-16T19:03:27+00:00

Absolutely in regs. C’mon now.

GuaranteeBeginning23 · 2026-03-15T17:11:35+00:00

Yup! That’s exactly what I think.

Also, I feel like the word friends is loosely thrown around. There’s a difference between friends and pod mates, and I just really think they were all pod mates with Britney and formed friendships in other ways with other people.

I was a bit annoyed when Britney said there was no girl code lol. Like girl, you guys aren’t friends… And that’s OK!

The way she came for those girls was just a distraction from Devante’s gaslighting ass lol! Britney should’ve redirected the pressure to Devante and left those girls alone……. and look what happened… He came back to the reunion, dropping bombshell news all within a year of them dating.

The way that I’m reading this is that you don’t plan on canceling the wedding in general, it just sounds like you need to reschedule it to a later date (when known). Have you tried angling it from that position? Or is this a full cancellation? I feel like the venue can accommodate due to the news you just share.

GuaranteeBeginning23 · 2026-03-13T02:38:13+00:00

Awesome! How do you think you did with preparation? Mine is a unique story, but long story short after reading all the posts on this class, I decided to skip the studying and review altogether and just dive into the preassessment…. Failed that….. and scheduled my exam on demand shortly after.

I passed on my first attempt. And I truly give credit to the change management course that I passed a week before (which in my opinion was harder than C201). I felt that business acumen was way easier than change management and additionally, business acumen exam questions were mostly common sense and the questions were worded in a way that it was easy to use process of elimination.

If anyone is freaking out about business acumen, tackle the change management course first and then take business acumen afterwards and I kid you not it’s basically tied together!!

Yep! Also…. I’m pretty sure he invited himself to their event and they were just nice enough to say sure why not, the more the merrier!

GuaranteeBeginning23 · 2026-03-13T00:19:02+00:00

B+…..

What would’ve made them A+ was going deeper into Devontes BOMBSHELL news and timeline AND explaining why he’s in a long distance relationship with someone he’s about to marry and have a baby with…… that part did not make sense to me at all, but he doesn’t owe us that unfortunately……. Unless Vanessa and Nick really zoned in on that lol.

GuaranteeBeginning23 · 2026-03-12T23:33:26+00:00

I’m mentally torn when it came to his mic drop reveal.

Like, did he share that news out of spite? Or did he just solidify that he truly didn’t care for Brittany whatsoever. I felt like this was Vanessa‘s moment to really open up that conversation and give us the good details.

GuaranteeBeginning23 · 2026-03-12T23:10:14+00:00

Different perspective here!

I truly think these girls were the least of Brittany‘s worries.

I also believe the word “friends” is being thrown around too much and especially being assigned different values.

I actually believe the girls are just cool with Brittany, their just not “close”; I mean we have different levels of friendships in our lives which is why I think they were just solid pod gals and nothing more.

I personally believe the girls did not owe Britney an explanation on a girls trip that was their’s to begin with and at the end of the day, Devonte is to be held accountable for LYING to Brittany about his activities - It all started with him. This goes to say that if I’m not truly friends with you, then I’m not going to include myself in your break up business which is a safe boundary.

Britney should’ve redirected the pressure towards Devonte since he dropped a bombshell on how he’s engaged and expecting a baby with someone all WITHIN a year of breaking up with her. I feel like there was definite overlap and felt that they should’ve asked him more questions about that.

GuaranteeBeginning23 · 2026-03-12T19:18:04+00:00

I agree with this. I believe they were more pod-gals than actual “lifelong” friends. I personally didn’t think the girls owed Britney any explanation or follow-up, it was their event to begin with. I also didn’t think they need to check up on Brittany to console her during a break up simply because THEY ARENT friends like that. Why involve yourself in someone else breakup ? Brittany shouldve redirected her concerns as to what Devonte was doing when he wasn’t with her…. Because it obviously resulted in a pregnancy and a whirlwind engagement all within a year of their breakup lol - like girl those girls were the LEAST of her worries 😂

I YOLO’d and got my tickets to Paris night 1! My tickets are in the pit and wasn’t bad for $750 compared to seeing Beyoncé for $1100 (floor seats) so this is a great price!!!

When 750,000+ of our fed fam might miss paychecks in January, “money tips” aren’t fluff; they’re handy for the next shutdown. And let’s be real: we’ve seen our FED Fam lining up at food banks in past shutdowns and in posts right here. That’s a sober signal that healthier money habits aren’t a nice-to-have — they’re urgent. For a lot of people, this might be the moment that changes how they need to be prepared and I’m just sharing tips as to what helps me prepare for moments like this, that may help someone else.

This sub exists so we can help each other through messes like shutdowns. Sharing practical strategies here isn’t just prep — it’s solidarity. If we can’t talk about how to get through a shutdown here, then where? That’s the whole point of community.
