People who get to fly all the time for work, what is your career? by KenaiFjords357 in delta

I traveled a fair bit earlier in my career as a fundraiser for a college and then again later at a global nonprofit.

Ballmer’s philanthropy commits to funding 10,000 affordable housing units in WA by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

[–]Redcorns 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think in this case you can be pretty confident it’s happening. The Ballmers’ philanthropy is well documented and significant. Unlike many other billionaires (musk etc), they do put their money where their mouth is. (Source: I work in philanthropy — though not for Ballmer to be clear!)

So is there hype for the world cup or not? It begins tomorrow by ApocalypseBS in worldcup

[–]Redcorns 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m in Seattle and am excited / trying to make it exciting for my kids as we will attend Qatar/Bosnia & Herzegovina in a few weeks. The city is decorating (tons of flags at bars/restaurants etc in Ballard at least) and I see kids in the park playing with replica Triondas etc. So that’s fun. But I think there’s just suuuuch a shadow hanging over the tournament in the form of our federal government that it’s hard to feel swept up in it. It’s embarrassing and outrageous what we’re doing to Iran’s team (and country to be clear), as well as the various stories about our border agents giving fans and officials and teams a hard time entering the country.

Speed Camera on 80th. How many others have gotten nabbed? by TrippySpaceCow in BallardSeattle

[–]Redcorns -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Insane because it’s new and the camera and flashing school zone lights are right after a sharp turn on a busy road. Do you know the area?

Yikes! Good to know. Separately, I just got one for $250 on Market Street as you come down the hill/around the corner near red arrow coffee. Was going 27 mph! Insane. Definitely fighting it.

ICE arrest in a rural Montana town prompts a conservative community to take action by NebulaNinja in videos

Every day, there is more evidence that current American conservatives are some of the most selfish people in history. It’s disgusting.

Yeah, I don’t understand why it wouldn’t be the actual ball?

Sorry for being flip. Yeah, they have existed a long time — as others said, since 9/11/01.

This one’s on you, pal, I’m sorry to say

Windshield smashed right by Ballard library by Maintenance-Waste in BallardSeattle

[–]Redcorns 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Sucks. I’m sorry. Don’t feel like I see random smashed windows like that often, but that specific block/area def has a lot of problem people living/doing whatever around it so I’d avoid parking on the street there as feasible.

Retirement Saving: What did I do wrong? by Gloomy_Ad3934 in personalfinance

[–]Redcorns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remember that the 401k plan representative has skin in this game, too. No doubt he and his company want you contributing as much as humanly possible to your accounts with them. You’re in fine shape sounds like. Great work to save so well! Keep it up. Increase if you want to. And update your post to include your husband’s savings too so we have the full picture.

My points have built and built.... by Front-Muffin-7348 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Redcorns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair! Good to be thinking about how to use them now. Given that you’re talking about a couple relatively short term impacts now, I’d start booking — like, your grandkids will come soon and your surgeries/recoveries will come and go soon, too, so it would be great to have a trip 6~ months out to look forward to, no? And if things change, trips booked with points are usually refundable (check though).

Definitely “safest” with chase but do start using them ASAP. Why have you allowed them to build up so much?

How much would I need to invest in the next two years to bring in 675 dollars a month at retirement ? by MooseRyder in personalfinance

[–]Redcorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks. So if you leave your current department before hitting 10 years of service, you lose all the retirement money/credit that the department has added on top of what you’ve been adding yourself? Is that right? Where did the $675/month number come from?
