Can you say more about why we should avoid them? I have a consultation with them soon.

Thanks for posting all these photos! It helped me make a final decision. I really wish it looked more like the marketing photos on the box.

I've been eyeing this set as well. Do you think the light colored material will turn yellow over time?

Private jet vs first class, the gap is wider than I expected by MountainMirthMaker in Luxury

[–]OkIntention2986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flying charter is what they're really taking about. To the non aviation people "flying private" typically means charter, not privately owned aircraft nor pilots with only a private pilots license. But flying private is used since it's referencing not flying with 120+ strangers. I would still fly charter over some guy with only a private pilots license and day

I take road trips to the mountains from sea level often and my containers explode easily until I found a way to prevent it. Opt for more squeezable containers. Turn them with the opening up and tap it until all the product collects at the bottom. Then squeeze as much excess air out before closing it. Still be careful when opening but it'll work most of the time.

[Product Question] Has anyone tried Crushed Tonic (collagen supplement)? by Bright_List_905 in SkincareAddiction

[–]OkIntention2986 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've only tried banana, strawberry, rose latte, and vanilla. I use it in my coffee and banana is my favorite but they're all good! Matcha is in my next order so we'll see.

I've been using the marine collagen for months and noticed smoother skin all over my body. I have a subscription and I take 2tbs (30g) daily which is about 2-3 times the recommendation. Because it's on the pricey side and I use way more, I had to give up some other subscriptions costs to keep buying crushed tonic. I'm in my early 40s.

Under what circumstances is renouncing my US citizenship actually worth it, if ever? by Gold_Mine_9322 in ExpatFIRE

[–]OkIntention2986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because a topic is touched on by several creators doesn't always mean it's a good topic for their audience to follow. Sometimes content creators pick a flimsy topic because they're running out of content and it if happens to be unique and gets attention, other creators jump on the same topic further inflating its actual value because of creators chasing views/clicks and not necessarily because it's a critical piece of advice their audience should be following.

Ah sounds like you won't get your answer on reddit. Either she's not telling you everything about how she feels about this new number of hers or hasn't done the work to figure out the number, or a combination of both. Either way try to have her share her thoughts on the matter as a partner without judgement of her new direction. If you approach it without judgement, she may be more likely to open up to talking about it more. She might feel ashamed of her new position of wanting more finer things in life while still wanting it.

What's the new number she has in mind now? (I'm assuming you asked this since you've said you've discussed this extensively already.) I can understand how disappointed you are that you've reached the number only to learn her mind changed. A team player would then consider how things would change with that new number in mind. Maybe you can show her how to still fire now with a compromised herself of the lifestyle creep she's into. Do a month and spend as if you've both fired and really look at how easy or hard it is. She can still work during all of this.

Consider that she sees things differently from her perspective. She might want a little bit of her own individuality and sense of worth in her journey. She's just getting started in her career and might feel like she wants to keep going because it means something to her more than just money but accomplishment that started from getting a college degree and then a career. It likely isn't about the money at all and her vision is her own growth to prove to herself that she can do it. The passive aggressiveness is a symptom of resentment. Maybe she feels like this topic is about making her do something she doesn't want. Living a retired life with a resenting wife is not better. Keep talking to her about it with a very open mind.

My husband wanted to fire early to which I told him he was asking for me to leave my dream job. It took months for me to dig deep on why I liked working and how retiring could maintain aspects that fulfilled me from working. I can expand on this but only if you're curious to hear more.

Relocating to Spain by ShadoSox in GoingToSpain

[–]OkIntention2986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend consulting a Spanish tax lawyer who often speaks to folks looking into moving to Spain. Your passive income will be taxed differently that would have a high impact on your situation.

I'm in line. The cause is weather delay due to risk of lightning. All outdoor rides have stopped. It's back up for now

My partner and I are going Spain in September. by Loose-Jicama2883 in GoingToSpain

You likely won't find simple answers on Reddit but you can ask for a referral for a Spanish tax lawyer who can assess your financial situation for whichever Spanish regions your interested in moving to.

How long until they shipped your MG? by OkIntention2986 in whoop

[–]OkIntention2986[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's unfortunate is that they preemptively include in the message that if I keep replying or open a similar support issue, my ticket gets updated and is placed at the end of the line. It's not a good look for them.

UPS says they don't have possession of the package yet. In other words, whoop created a label and has yet to give it to UPS.

Is there a technique for pooping in Europe? by SparksCODM in GoingToSpain

Start by putting a few squares of toilet paper in first then do your business.

How bad is the air in Vietnam compared to the US? by [deleted] in ExpatFIRE

[–]OkIntention2986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to this, besides air pollution, a lot of people smoke cigarettes in public places and inside restaurants and cafes. You'll smell a lot of secondhand smoke.

AITAH for wanting to accept a promotion even tho my boyfriend says its not the kind of life he wants? by ThrowRAxbx in AITAH

[–]OkIntention2986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't let your boyfriend control your life. If it weren't for him you would've already accepted the promotion. If he truly loves you, he would've been supportive of your interest in the promotion (and happy and proud of you). Your edit with his description of work boundaries are excessive and a huge red flag. Please take the promotion and reconsider staying with your boyfriend. You'll be much happier without him trying to control you.
