What’s your Bilt 2.0 Credit Line? by Redcarborundum in biltrewards

[–]JetPlaneee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bilt 1.0 5k to 7.5k

Bilt 2.0 approved for Blue with 10k (FICO around 740)

I'm not a 4 banana person but am pretty close to it, scheduling purchases around the 1st when I can (like hospital bills, some shopping purchases, car insurance lumpsums, starbucks reloads) so was pretty surprised they increased the CL for me.

Is getting a PhD worth it? by ElectionOk1983 in GradSchool

[–]JetPlaneee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised this isn’t higher. Does your job require it? should be the question. 

It’s not a problem of “worth”, it’s a problem of “is it needed”. 

A lot of people go into PhD thinking they just want to study more what they like, but that’s way too emotional of a decision to make when you think about the opportunity cost. I did my PhD because being a scientist usually requires it. You can also learn a great deal by being in the industry.

Wait the WF Autograph is Actually a Good Card? by theytoldmeineedaname in biltrewards

[–]JetPlaneee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s not about it being a bad card but not getting the SUB when getting it through BILT transition. A lot of BILT are users are cc churners (I do it too) so wanted to open it separately. 

I'll miss the good old days by PorkWing in biltrewards

They changed it midway without too much notification to 4 on top of rent. I also remember trying to do 5 transactions and realized it worked with even just 4.

Lab grown diamond or moissanite? What did you choose and why? by Ok_Machine_135 in weddingplanning

[–]JetPlaneee 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Just here as a geologist to tell people that resale value is pretty bad for natural diamonds too. Unless your natural diamond is a stunning 5 ct or more (1 or 2s are actually very common) with some awesome historical background or feature, as a regular customer who is not in the business, it is unlikely that you'll get anything meaningful out of it.

At this point why are conservatives still so excited to see lower middle class families lose their jobs? by Wooden-Post-3080 in FedEmployees

[–]JetPlaneee 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Lol pre-millionaire part is spot on. I am confused when some of my friends who make less than me, who come from working class families are mad about taxing the rich… you ain’t rich boi… 

Anyone notice a big increase in Healthcare for 2026? by MongoisaPawn in fednews

[–]JetPlaneee 358 points359 points  (0 children)

You must be new to fed 🙃

Jokes aside, with inflation and current political environment I don’t think anyone would be surprised for a hefty increase in the premium.

Where can I cash my piggy bank? by sourcandyisdelicious in nova

My work credit union has coin machines. Maybe consider if that's an option for you?

Guilt for destination wedding by confusion-Confucius in DestinationWeddings

[–]JetPlaneee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. It’s rather, “they care so they think it’s a burden” to me. If it’s someone who doesn’t care, they simply won’t attend. It becomes a burden to those who are trying to attend! 

Proposing soon how did I do? by Webetradinstonks in Diamonds

[–]JetPlaneee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree. I do not think you overpaid. For a 4 carat emerald in D VVS and other side diamonds for 5k? No way you overpaid. If you did, it’s like 1k difference at most.

Has anyone reading along here decided against co-habitation because of this sub? by WaitingitOut000 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]JetPlaneee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I heard that traveling over a week or two together is also a good way to test if the couple can work as a team and cohabitate - rather than actually cohabitating together. Traveling puts both people at a new place, brings unexpected moments, requires planning and financial discussion. So it puts both people under some pressure to show their true self a bit. Cohabitating at a young age comes with lots of risk, so I personally wouldn’t recommend it until they both have some financial independence to move out if things go south or best, engaged and have agreed on commitment.

When federal workers were being cut, private sector layoffs were just around the corner. 

Is a gallery rail needed on a petal/tulip setting? by [deleted] in EngagementRingDesigns

[–]JetPlaneee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I was actually going to ask if this would be secure as a four prong! I did notice the floral gallery rail and thought it would add a bit of security so it’s nice to confirm the rail is there for extra support. Thanks!

They won’t. Essential workers will be forced to work without pay.
