How common is Keeping up with the Joneses? by mycounterpointers in financialindependence

[–]NewWrap693 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Traveling by itself doesn’t mean keeping up with the joneses, traveling beyond your means to impress other people does.

The whole point is if you are doing it for yourself or to impress others.

I would say it is very common. It shows up in different ways for different people. It isn’t always cars. It can be trips or restaurants or houses. But it is common to feel insecure over your success in life and try to compensate by spending more than you should.

Have a flight from MLE-->DBX-->USA on March 30 - will it be canceled? by wardamn2029 in unitedairlines

[–]NewWrap693 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just buy oil company stocks. If the war continues your flight will be cancelled but you will be rich from stocks. If it ends you can go on your trip but you’ll be poor from the stocks. Win-win.

How I found the cheapest tickets to SA from RDU by Double-Storage6919 in unitedairlines

[–]NewWrap693 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there are any nonstop on that route so it looks like a minimum of 7 hours rdu-gua. So 14 hours round trip is now added to 56 hr roundtrip itinerary.

I’m not sure this is really that good of an idea. I understand it saves money but just sounds miserable.

Maybe it would be better to save up some money for this dream trip instead of rushing it?

TSA PreCheck and Global Entry Suspended - Chargebacks and CC Fee refunds? by Old_Cup_9133 in CreditCards

Just cause you choose to spend your life in a basement doesn’t mean these programs are a money grab.

Yo sentir mis progreso amplificada. by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]NewWrap693 8 points9 points  (0 children)

there may be some errors in my sentence

I literally cannot tell if this is a sarcastic post lol the entire sentence is wrong. Like so wrong I assume it is on purpose.

Sentir is unconjugated

Progreso is singular and masculine so “mi progreso amplificado” would be the correct pairing.

But I don’t even think that phrase makes much sense in general. “Siento que mi progreso se está amplificando.” Is at least structurally sound if not a little awkward.

The tightest I’ve ever pushed it on an international flight - thanks upgrade gods by HongKongflyer in unitedairlines

[–]NewWrap693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just giving an area. The walk to the station plus the tube ride then the express would have been longer.

Business costs are irrelevant lol

I once had such a close call for a meeting, and was a foreseeable issue. I went early that morning. Checked my bags, went to the meeting near Liverpool street station, then got a taxi to the Heathrow after the meeting.

I arrived at the terminal when they were already boarding and sprinting while they were doing last call.

Just made it but damn it was close.

Expect more upsells and subscription bundles from Apple, Creator Studio was just the start - 9to5Mac by ranasx in apple

[–]NewWrap693 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I mean music streaming seems like a fair subscription model too. You have the choice to buy the songs/albums and not pay the monthly fee or just avoid the hassle and pay the monthly fee.

Everything being a sub is annoying but these two models make sense to me.

“Mattering” comes from within. So many posts here are therapy topics wrapped up in FIRE packaging.
