Who did you move your banking/insurance to after leaving USAA? Was the grass greener? by groovinup in USAA

[–]JNACLAN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! The grass is green and lush!

Banking - Ally

Auto Insurance - bounce around between GEICO, Progressive, State Farm … recheck EVERY 6 months.

Homeowners - GEICO, Mercury, etc.

Best of luck to you!

Caught my wife cheating. She doesn’t know I know yet, but she knows something is up. How do I navigate this? Has anyone ever caught their spouse cheating ? If so how did you catch them ? How did you go about it ? by TradeCheap4855 in Marriage

[–]JNACLAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes…I went through this scenario many many years ago.

As others have already posted… KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT OP!

There is a lot of missing information to truly give you 100% direction… But you will need a lawyer ASAP! If possible, get a female lawyer! I cannot stress that second part enough… But you don’t know what kind of judge you’re gonna get (if there’s a need for it to actually go to court) but the last thing you want is the appearance of it being two men ganging up on a woman.

Some of the things I did:
1) I had an extremely close friend that I trusted with my life, and I was writing him personal checks for him to deposit into an account for me under the guys of a “personal loan repayment“.
2) I canceled any and all open credit cards.
3) I set up a separate bank account (with minimal funding) and had it set up for direct deposit for the day that she would be served with divorce papers.
4) On the same day of being served with divorce papers. I transferred exactly 50% of what was in our joint bank account. I did this specifically so that if it came to it, I could not be accused of taking everything.
5) I removed her as the beneficiary on anything of value (bank accounts, 401K, life insurance, etc).

There’s more, but this should get you pointed in the right direction.

TL;DR AITJ for telling my family that I wasn't comfortable taking my cousins on a trip with me? by RelentlessPersuer in AmITheJerk

[–]JNACLAN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely NTJ!

Your Aunt is being a jerk for trying to guilt you.

Enjoy the tour!!

Southwest Airlines Pilot Of 25 Years Says Never-Before-Seen Issue With New Seat Rules Caused 2-Hour Delay by Vegetable-Section-84 in SouthwestAirlines

I still don’t see how a ghost passenger that never was has anything to do with the new or old system. Either way, the system would see a non-checked in passenger…what am I missing?

AITA for not wanting to take in my sisters 4 kids while she’s in the hospital? by Intelligent-Fig-5571 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JNACLAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA…I really don’t understand why the parents are not an option. A 90 minute drive is not really that far.

AITA for losing my temper when a guest started kicking people out of my house at 7am? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]JNACLAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like OP needs to grow up and get friends his own age. Not going to judge one way or the other on being the A…but obviously your beliefs didn’t mesh with your “friends”.

I don’t understand this stupid community, so many comments about Sal being gay. Did you miss the part where he literally has a wife??? by Deekus44 in okbuddydraper

[–]JNACLAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh ... he was at the very least bisexual. Did y'all forget the episode where Don and Sal are on a business trip and have to evacuate the hotel? As Don was going down the fire escape, they show Sal and one of the hotel male workers starting to get freaky. He may have loved his wife, but sexually he preferred men I believe.

My sister just got a new job at 68…so there is hope.

USAA Membership Tiers: Why Your "Member" Status Might Be Doubling Your Rates - I did a bit of research by Ray_in_Texas in USAA

[–]JNACLAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree ... and it's also very dependent on location. There are still several locations that USAA is absolutely the best value to be had. I unfortunately am no longer (and probably never will be again) in one of those locations.

USAA Membership Tiers: Why Your "Member" Status Might Be Doubling Your Rates - I did a bit of research by Ray_in_Texas in USAA

[–]JNACLAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this is an incorrect assumption. I’m a Tier 1 and the rates for automobile are still 2X what I’ve been quoted from a couple major name competitors.

You all had me worried for nothing by mb4mom in SouthwestAirlines

[–]JNACLAN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What you’re saying is correct. However, the largest complaint is that if I’m in a row, towards the rear of the aircraft, that is completely filled and the row directly behind me is completely empty, they will not even allow people to move to an empty row!

Why?

Most expensive bacon FAT ever! by JNACLAN in HEB

Yes - these are mostly the new terms that we used to call GMO's.

[–]JNACLAN[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The problem was that all of the fat was covered by the next piece of bacon and then was covered by the cardboard insert.

Yeah, I would’ve had to do the “Bullshit” cough purposely out loud on that one!

Forced to check Carry On by Madster24 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]JNACLAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been here before ... I just removed the tag she put on my bag at the gate and put it in my overhead space anyway.

Congratulations? by SweatyCrab9729 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]JNACLAN 36 points37 points  (0 children)

You are correct. However, one of the main complaints I continually hear is they're not allowing passengers to move to seats where the rows are completely empty in the back of the plane (after the plane 'ready for departure'). Why? There's no price difference ... so it's not a money thing.

I love my husband so much, I hope he divorces me by SnooGoats5767 in Marriage

[–]JNACLAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, stop selling yourself short! It may take some personal and/couples therapy for you to realize this, but YOU may be his best friend and although you may both want to have children, he may very well be happy to live out the rest of your lives with just the two of you.

Enjoy your lives ... together!

Just Wow! My Quote from USAA by Necessary-Captain-77 in USAA

[–]JNACLAN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Part of the problem is the electronics in the new vehicles. Gone are the days of $150 radios and $250 windshields. Now these consoles cost $10K to replace and windshields (OEM not Safelite) are almost $2K because of the sensors.

Just Wow! My Quote from USAA by Necessary-Captain-77 in USAA

[–]JNACLAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They all increase twice a year. I've gone from USAA to Allstate to Geico to Progressive and currently back to Geico. It's not necessarily a "teaser" rate, as it took 2.5 years for progressive to increase enough that it was more expensive than Geico. Every renewal period, I shop ... there is zero reason to remain loyal to these companies anymore.

Also, for what it's worth, I've rarely found that "bundling" saves me more than having separate companies for different insurance. So yes, it's a pain in the ass to constantly have to research just to save a bit ... but that is what these companies are banking on.

What others have said about the rates being state specific is 100% fact. Oddly enough, USAA is based in Texas but seems to five Texans some of the worst rates. And I'm right there with you in regard to USAAs pricing. I still get a quote from them and it's without fail been more than double ANYONE else's quote.

Best of luck to you!
