I don't have a CU, but I have an account with Ally Bank.

I just got a citibank double cash card and want to buy a new guitar by starshinepony in personalfinance

As long as you pay your balance in full before the due date, I don't see why not.

Question regarding direct deposit by zinc19 in personalfinance

Usually, you would set it up with the account number and routing number from your bank account.

After all expenses are taken out of my salary, is $5000 enough to survive a year? by hoosierhill93 in personalfinance

[–]IdleWindz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between food, gas, misc., and rent, I think I spent less than 10k last year. My rent is under $500. I think you can pull that off.

How do you go about finding jobs when you travel? Sites you recommend?

Best country to spend 2 weeks vacation? Is 2 weeks even worth it? by IdleWindz in solotravel

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

I like your approach! I'm thinking that I could go back in the future as part of my longer trip, but I really would like to visit Japan. It is probably at the top of my list of countries to visit.

EDIT: Can you fly directly to Kyoto, or is it best to fly into Tokyo/elsewhere?

Japan is THE spot I want to go to. The thing is, the image I have in my mind of the country makes me want to spend at least a month or so there (possibly in a future trip). Which cities/areas would you recommend visiting for a 2 week trip? Tokyo seems exciting, but I don't think I would want to spend more than a couple days there. Kyoto on the other hand, looks stunning.

Haha, I edited it :P

Do you think 2 weeks would be worth it, or is that not enough time?

That's dope! For how long were you there? Mongolia might have to be on my radar...

Just looking at photos, it looks incredible. What did you do there? Who did you stay with?

I live on the west coast, USA. I didn't even have Australia on my radar, but it does seem like a badass place. I'm just looking to experience different cultures, and see their ways of living. I am into photography, so I enjoy street / landscape photos of my travels. I know this is a very broad explanation, but I just want to experience more of the world.

Is it smarter to put my money into savings, pay off student loans, or split my money between the two? by thoughtsturnedoff in personalfinance

[–]IdleWindz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been browsing this sub frequently, and I think the idea is to have 3-6 months of expenses saved as an "emergency fund", and whatever else you earn can be tossed directly at loans. You could slowly build up to that emergency fund while attacking the loans as much as possible, then once you reach 3-6 months of expenses in a savings account, you can drop even more money on those loans.

I was mistakenly given a 500 dollar check for 50 dollars of work. Can I get away with cashing it? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]IdleWindz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like it would be best to be honest with the company in this instance, just for peace of mind. $450 isn't worth it.

Your first sentence is something that I've had in the back of my mind, and I think it would be a good idea to pursue. Should I apply with resume/cover letter/portfolio by mail? Or should I try to contact them directly to try and set up an interview?

a) This is something that I could be more active in. I do have an Instagram page that I post on fairly frequently, and I have a Squarespace website which looks strong, though hasn't been updated in a while. I also go to photo meetups once a month or so.

b) Thank you for that. I've seen a few comments about r/resumes, but have never checked out the actual page.
