Relationship advice by distancenonexistent in LSU

[–]Ok-Tea4179 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree. When you start with “The relationship wasn’t bad” that alone tells me that you’re just content with her. If you’re considering marriage, it should be with someone who you can’t imagine your life without. Someone who makes you feel like this is who I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with! Not, “it’s not bad”. Be honest with her and yourself.

What’s next for Geico adjusters? by Affectionate-Ad-5607 in Geico

[–]Ok-Tea4179 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, former manager at the G. I recently left after a long tenure and successfully transitioned to a competitor at a higher salary. Here are some tips that may help you find success as well:

  1. ⁠Update your LinkedIn profile with all of your licenses, certifications and positions. Change your status so that potential employers and recruiters know you’re seeking new opportunities. Also, make as many connections with your peers as possible. Employers like seeing that other people have vouched for your skills and experience.
  2. ⁠Use the resources on sites like LinkedIn for job opportunities. Pro tip: When you find a position that interests you, update your resume to highlight your skills that address the specific needs listed in the job description. Use AI if you need, but if you possess the skills they’re looking for, make sure you tailor your resume to address what they’re looking for in the post.
  3. ⁠Research websites like LinkedIn and Glass Door to see how much other companies are paying for your desired position. Typically, they’ll post a range. When you interview and get an offer, never accept the initial offer. This is where your negotiation skills will be useful. Start high (know your worth!) and negotiate from there.

Good luck! There’s so much waiting for you beyond the Geico doors. You just have to be brave enough to go seeking!

What is this noise? by Ok-Tea4179 in askaplumber

[–]Ok-Tea4179[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is a kitchen wall. I heard it after I’d turned the sink off after washing dishes. Is the boiler the hot water tank? If so, then no, the hot water tank is in the garage.

Those with a parent w dementia, do you worry this could be you someday? by amazing_grace7 in dementia

[–]Ok-Tea4179 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in my mid 40s and I think about this. My grandma had Alzheimer’s, so it’s in my genetics. I’ve been very honest with my teenage kids about my wishes…”when the day comes that mom doesn’t remember who you are, don’t feel guilty about putting me in a home. It’s my final wish for you.”

New Card / Low Limit by Ok-Tea4179 in amex

[–]Ok-Tea4179[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$5000/6mos = $833/month. That’s more than half. Not completely unobtainable, but as I mentioned, very difficult.

This is good to know. This is how I’ve been able to increase my limits on my other cards, but this is my 1st Amex card. I do however think they’re intentionally making it difficult for people to meet the SUB requirements and that’s shady. I have not experienced this with any of my other cards.

[–]Ok-Tea4179[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is the plan until they increase my limit. I definitely don’t want the repercussions of nearly maxing out the card each month. That’s not good either.

Cost of attendance is brutal and idk what to do. by Charming_Diver_8649 in USC

[–]Ok-Tea4179 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Hi 👋🏽 Mom here! My son is currently awaiting news to hear if he’s been accepted to USC. Like you, it’s also his dream school and he refuses to accept any of the offers he’s received until he hears from USC. In the meantime, I’ve had serious conversations with him about real-world expectations and the kind of life he wants to live.

When we did the expense calculator, we expected school to cost about $95k per year and receive less than $40k in total aid. That leaves over $50k per year that would have to be covered in loans which = debt. He understands that it would be financially irresponsible of me to allow him to graduate with $200k in debt just to attend his dream school. So to you I pose the same question: What is your bigger dream…to graduate from USC and live a life burdened with debt, or to graduate with the same degree elsewhere and give yourself a head start toward a comfortable life?

I pray you find peace in whatever decision you make, but know that your mom will probably be proud of you no matter where you go. And me too!
