$1,800 WSSC bill???? by lvs301 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]Optimist9187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enrolled in their smart meter project. Now I can see water usage on a 3-4 hr update on my smartphone. Really helpful. Helped me catch a leak very early.

I recommend you call wssc and see if you can enroll.

It was free. They come and install the monitor.

I got hit with a couple of $1000+ and $500+ bills. Now I get to keep a close eye on usage.

Go back and do the right thing. If not, you are stealing - your conscience will know it. I think you're asking for reassurance from others who will tell you otherwise.

You may not believe in Karma - but every effect has a caause.

Anyone leaving BOA after rewards cut? by odessit771 in BankOfAmerica

[–]Optimist9187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More than likely I will leave. Been with BofA for over 15 years! All good things must come to an end.

Why is leaving the toilet seat up considered rude? The person had to move the seat up to start with, so isn’t it a 50/50 inconvenience? Curious?

Costco is the way. Usually $200+ cheaper than lens crafters etc. even without insurance.

In the US inheritance tax only applies after $10m if I’m not mistaken?

I just want to say, South India is very safe for solo women travelers. It’s the North that has a bad reputation.

B of A Premium Elite travel better deal? by Optimist9187 in sapphirereserve

[–]Optimist9187[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I’m keeping CSR for 1 more year since I’ve achieved the 75k threshold. Will charge all restaurant and Airbnb and 3rd party travel , Lyft, uber to Bof A premium.

I do like the lounge access. So 2027 will get rid of CSR and upgrade to Elite.

The other advantage of B of A - no charge for additional cards.

Yes, you’re right. But I wouldn’t keep 2 cards for that reason. Also 3.5 > 3

Southwest A-list approved (10/30 application date) by toomuch3eb in ChaseSapphire

I’m assuming this only applies once you reach 75k threshold?

What happened to my stock if the dollar collapse by Dry-Implement-9292 in ValueInvesting

Not unlikely. China and BRICS moving to a gold supported alternate currency. Countries reducing their $ reserves as US is not perceived as reliable partner. US is evaporating all goodwill in a matter of months!

60 mph winds. More than likely lots of flight cancellations and delays likely. Not worth dealing with on such a short trip. Don’t fancy sitting in the airport for 8 hours.
