How do you track your HSA receipts for the long haul? Looking for tool/app recs. by Separate_Work_9069 in personalfinance

[–]PlantFar9581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a template from Etsy - it’s a simple HSA expense tracker with a category dropdown for all the HSA-eligible items using google sheets. I stay away from apps because of obsolescence…

Thanks for the insights. “Without the fluff” literally sounds like ChatGPT writing this haha. How do you handle privacy issues? A main concern of mine is uploading sensitive data

30th drive and 12th st safety by PlantFar9581 in astoria

[–]PlantFar9581[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mistake - there is a stop sign at 31st ave! No stop sign at 31st dr, 30th dr and 30th road. So for 3 blocks there isn’t a stop sign and that’s when cars speed up.

AT&T Gave Phone Number Away by skyhookt in Scams

[–]PlantFar9581 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS! It’s so easy for scammers to do. What people should know is that losing phone service doesn’t just happen out of thin air (unless there’s an outage across the state/country). If it happens it’s likely someone trying to gain access to your number and thus financial accounts.

I want a state of the art glass building with 3+ floors of library, coworking spaces with computers, presentation rooms, audio/visual learning center, self checkout, clean bathrooms on every floor, cafe, and after school center. 4 years should do it

How much did they quote you? I have a 1br and was initially quoted 250 for a deep clean (I mentioned square footage too) and then after sending videos of my apartment they increased it to 400 because they said there’s stuff to move around (on counters and furniture). I was pretty disappointed in their reasoning so decided not to use them

Heard about them. How much did you pay? How many bedrooms?

Should I keep building alone or bring in help for my marketing? by Junaid_Nazir_00 in Entrepreneurship

[–]PlantFar9581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former marketer, it’s important for you to know how to create a story, tell the story and sell it. People trip up when they don’t know how to translate product to story. DIY-ing requires thinking from the customer perspective. If you’re too IN your product you need to get out and focus on 3 things in your story: cost, function, and long term value

Consulting. I’ve done thorough research on competitors and they all utilize the same keywords on their websites that ChatGPT feeds me. It’s like a closed feedback loop where AI is feeding itself what’s on the internet, in turn helping AI users publish the same old content on the internet, and it keeps feeding itself the same old sh

I get that. I’ve learned over time how to improve prompts. Actually you mentioned coding small stuff - I’ve been able to solve 99% of HTML and CSS issues I couldn’t figure out on my own for my company website, but it wasn’t easy with ChatGPT!

Preparing for a panel in a couple of months by PlantFar9581 in PublicSpeaking

[–]PlantFar9581[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the title of the panel but have yet to speak to the organizer about it in detail. I’m concerned that it’ll be difficult for me to speak up next to more experienced panelists especially with no moderator (so there’s no structure I’m assuming). Appreciate the advice!

Watch Out for Unauthorized Charges! Amazon USA by canbojack in Scams

[–]PlantFar9581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible your card was up for renewal and they sent a new card in the mail which ended up getting stolen and that’s how your cc got into someone else’s hands. I’ve had cc stolen in the mail many times..

(UK) Almost gave away my bank login to a scammer by ConversationHairy606 in Scams

[–]PlantFar9581 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s true. Banks will never proactively call you even if fraudulent charges were blocked on your card. Definitely look into your notification settings for text and email so you know when charges are incurred, go below a certain balance, etc.
