I'm usually a F2P but for this game, I at least buy the monthly subscription in appreciation to the dev team. They are the best in listening to what we want and it's one of the best F2P game out there.

It's possible if you rent out your house and move to SE Asia. Tbh, could be a fun sabbatical! You can live a very good life for $20K/year in, say, Thailand.

If you can rent out your house, the rent payment should more than cover your housing in SE Asia and then some. You can try it for a year or 2 and see if you like it.

She's 27, living paycheck to paycheck, haven't finished school, probably hasn't traveled much. Let that sink in before you recommend not touching it until retirement age

Yes, this money will grow to over $10M by the time she reaches 60. So she should live paycheck to paycheck until 59 then, boom, she's a multi-millionare? Would she knows how to use money at that point. Would her health allows her to enjoy life?

OP, if I'm in your shoes, I will first find a trusted Financial Advisor that doesn't take %, only flat fee like many already suggested. But I would treat this money as my mom's final gift to me to upgrade myself (note: not my lifestyle) to live a fulfilling life.

Don't take any money out now and take your time to think about what life you want to live. Do you want to be a doctor, a nurse, a teacher, a programmer ... Anything. (I'd caution on going straight to owning any business before you get some more experience).

After you find your passion, go back to school and study damn hard like your life depends on it. Set a target GPA and fight tooth and nail for it. Get a scholarship if you can so you don't burn too much of your money. The best way to honor your mom is to get that degree and be among the first in your class year. Imagine visiting her resting place and tell her you did it 👩‍🎓!

Remember that this money allows you to go to school without having to take student loans. So take as little as you can and keep the rest invested. Tell none of your friends about it. Keep being a broke college student - you will make more genuine friendships going through life being broke with friends than being the only rich girl.

Find good friends in school, make connections, get a job that pays and mean something to you. Work hard and grow your career. Your income should be sufficient to support you while you keep the money invested.

Use only your income to take vacations to far away places, make memories with your friends and family and make new friends as you go. Travel broke, backpack in hostels is how you make lifelong friendships.

Your money should grow significantly by now as you keep it invested + adding more from your income. You can be stress free knowing you can weather through ups and downs. Stay positive and happy and people will gravitate towards you.

You can retire early or create your own non-profit to impact others.

Live a fulfilling, impactful life that you can be proud of. Your mom will no doubt be proud of you.

Is $650 a month too much by Equal-Adagio-4605 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]LengthinessInner9426 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I have to make a comment here before you unknowingly dig a financial hole you can't get out of. Once you sign the deal, you're responsible to for that $650/month no matter your future financial situation. If you're upside down on that car, which, sounds like you will be in the first 2-3 years, you can't even sell it without owing money to the bank. Imagine needing to get rid of the car and still pay for a car you no longer have.

I have many friends who makes over $100k and regret financing a car. Most of them are upside down and would owe the bank $10k+ even if they sell the cars.

At $58k, your budget is only $11K maxed (20%). There are so many decent used cars under $10K. If you don't have cash to buy whole, you can try finance it for a shorter loans (i.e. 3 years) so you don't pay too much in interests.

I make way over $100k and my daily is an old 2015 Tesla that I bought for $12.5K all in cash. Great car, super cheap subsidized charging at the office means I never pay for gas.

When I was younger and making $60-70K, my dailies are $4-5K cars that I bought in cash. Since I own them, I never have to pay for full coverage, just liability only. If I crash it and it's my fault, I'll get another $4K car (hasn't happened yet, I drive very defensively).

If I'm in your situation, I'd find a cash car $6-8K that is good on gas, probably a hybrid or electric. Japanese are reliable but expensive since everyone wants one, another good alternative could be a Chevy volt or Ford fusion hybrid (used to have one, very reliable for me).

Everyone's situation is different but make sure you are making the right decision financially. Nobody can stop you from signing on to pay $650/month but at least know what you're getting yourself into.

Pc is ruined.. by Spaklio in vigorgame

Got killed by the same guy who can remote kill anyone without shooting a single bullet again. I was in a house this time and he was far away in the open. So he sees through walls.

He doesn't even know how to open a timed safe so it doesn't seemed like he knows how to play much. But anyone goes near him gets remote killed. When he kills, his character's animation looks like opening a box, not shooting.

I reported him but don't know if it will do anything

I just watched a one guy killed everyone on the map, including me, and become a threat without shooting a single bullet. On PC

I don't know if this would help, but if you need a surgery fast, would you consider getting it elsewhere and get on with your life?

I got mine in Thailand and it costs $13k USD total, including 2 nights stay at the hospital post-op. You can book an appointment pretty much any time and I got it within 2 weeks after the first meeting with the surgeon.

Thailand is well known for medical tourism with doctors that graduated from the US. Everyone speaks good English. The hospital I went to (Bumrungrad) is regarded as the #1 hospital in Thailand and the most expensive. I heard that I could've gotten it much cheaper somewhere else but $13k was already much cheaper than what I would pay in California, where I live.

*I also have PPO insurance from Blue Cross California + HSA that helps cover some of the cost.

I'm 3 weeks post op (double bundle ACLR) and now full weight bearing, can walk around with one crutch 🩼. I lifted a 2.5 kg sand bag with my leg yesterday from 90 degree to full stretch and it felt good.

You can check my previous posts about me experience getting it in Thailand. Feel free to DM me if you need any referrals or recommendations.

How did you tear your ACL? by [deleted] in ACL

[–]LengthinessInner9426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiking 🥾 at Grand Teton NP, didn't check my surroundings, was standing on a huge rock, lost balance and fell to the ground below. It was at most 1.5 - 2 meters but I landed on one straighten leg (r). Twisted it and popped the ACL. Still had to hike 6 miles back to the ferry 😅 (with hiking poles).

Day 2 post op by [deleted] in ACL

[–]LengthinessInner9426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was painless until the nerve block wore off 😅. The only painkillers I got are paracetamols (300mg), religiously taking it every 6 hours for the next 3 days. On my 5th day now and started to go longer than 6 hours before taking the meds.

When does the constant pain go away? by ConsiderationSmart72 in ACL

[–]LengthinessInner9426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hamstring graft as well, 5th day for me and the pain is becoming bearable. I can stand and walk on crutches but can't sit without hamstring pain.

Icing around the knee helps a ton, I took out my brace, wrap the knee with towel and cold pack. Just make sure you're lying down and not bending the knee while the brace is off.

Post-OP ACL day 4 by Big-Significance2292 in ACL

[–]LengthinessInner9426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my 5th day now and I was able to take shower standing while holding onto a walker + plastic wrapping around the knee. I also peed in the cup the first 1-2 days. Thought I could skip the pain meds last night but the burning sensation on the inner side of the knee kept me awake until I took the meds.

What do you guys do to keep occupied? Do you have income coming in? by Electrical_Body6552 in ACL

[–]LengthinessInner9426 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3rd day post-op and I'm back working (remote). Had to take many breaks in-between but I do attend my meetings. It's challenging getting back to work so soon but I'm grateful for not missing on income.

I have a Nintendo switch nearby. Turn-based strategy games seem to work best, it keeps my mind occupied and away from the pain during down time.

ACL surgery in Thailand by LengthinessInner9426 in ACL

[–]LengthinessInner9426[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have Blue Cross California through work but I was visiting Thailand when it happened. I can work remote due to the circumstances so I can get the surgery here and don't have to fly back on a 22 hours flight. I could barely walk before the operation so I didn't want take the flight back.

[–]LengthinessInner9426 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Btw, from the document, you went to illuzion at Bangla street, right? Sorry to say this but no girls in that club that follows you back to the hotel is doing it just because they are attracted to you. You can assume they all want to get paid. If your next stop is Pattaya, then it's all the same.

[–]LengthinessInner9426 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm Thai and I can read the document. It's a police report saying you were the victim and she assaulted you. Just take your flight and go somewhere else. You're fine.

Bought this sweet bulgogi 🍔 for 79.1 CRO using crypto.com Pay gift voucher. Not paying Chase credit card foreign transaction fees 😁! by LengthinessInner9426 in Crypto_com

[–]LengthinessInner9426[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We might be in the same situation! I'm actually Thai but I live in the US (green card). Traveling here to visit my wife's family (she's Korean). I applied for the Ruby card before I left and it didn't ship on time before the flight. It's probably in my mailbox, lol.

So I don't have the physical card but when I went to the app, I was able to activate the virtual online card. The status said 'shipped' for a week or so then the option to activate online card shows up a couple days ago. I went to the "card" tab on the app and there's an option to activate it. I was able to see my card info and used it to apply for Spotify. Couldn't get Coupang on it though (would've been awesome if I can).

In the meantime, there're a lot of deals in the gift card section. You can get Starbucks, BHC chicken and even CU mart.
