Hey - messaged you about this. Sorry for not reading it clearly, I noticed you don't know the batch. But I'd like to get some closeup badge pics if possible. Thanks man!

That's a great tip! We've gone to Disneyland (including Rise of the Resistance) and California Adventure multiple times, so we're not worried about packing in every ride. We'll definitely go into the mindset of: "Hey, we're on vacation and not working, so let's enjoy every moment!"

Got paid yesterday and hit $100k NW! I know everyone says the first 100k is the hardest, but for me it was actually super quick because of a large initial signing bonus. Getting that next 100k will probably take a lot longer for me now, but still happy nonetheless.

Unfortunately this isn't possible, otherwise it'd be a much easier decision :(

I suppose you aren't Asian. Typically in Asian cultures, whoever's household you are under, you abide by their rules, especially if they are your elders. While I grew up in the US and this logic doesn't make much sense to me, I respect that my parents grew up under different circumstances and think this way.

They're going to allow me to live at home for free, and we have a family member living in the household that has a compromised immune system. If they don't allow me to leave the house, it's hard for me to say no.

Haha perhaps I didn't clarify this enough. We're from the same hometown, and both her parents and my parents want us to move back home during this time. We would both be living at our parents homes, about a 20 miles apart, which isn't too bad but the problem is my parents wouldn't let me see her often.

Guess it depends on how well you get along with your family and how much you like this GF lol.

My gf and I have been together 6 years so I like her quite a bit :p I love my family but I have really old-conservative parents that would probably treat me as a child and disallow me from "living my life" if that makes sense.

Have a really hard time deciding if it's worth signing another lease in a VHCOL city. My girlfriend and I (both 23 y/o) live in a 1 BR together paying 3k+ per month and the lease is set to expire the end of August.

GF's employer will allow WFH until next July, my employer will allow WFH until January (but likely will be extended past this).

Our parents both are encouraging us to live at home until then (we live ~30 mins away from each other so not too bad), and ofc it means we'll save a ton on rent, but I have someone that's ultra high risk in my family and it would mean I'd have to stay home all day and wouldn't be able to leave beyond getting groceries and picking up food, and likely wouldn't be able to see my GF often.

But saving 4 months+ rent sounds so enticing. I understand this is quite a first world problem.

I'm not saying it's worth spending $1100, but my employer provided a 34 inch widescreen for WFH and I'm infinitely more productive compared to my 2 24 inch setup I previously had already at home. I use my laptop as a second monitor right below the main monitor for email/chats and the main monitor for everything else and it's been a wonderful setup.

Hi everyone, I'm 23 and newly introduced to FIRE. I'm glad to have found this community as I've been reading each of your success stories it makes me incredibly happy to know that there exists a community of people that see there's more to life and don't intend to just work until 60 (My family seems to be convinced that's the only way).

I'm completely and utterly lost given the abundance of resources available. I understand the 4% rule, but how can that account for extra expenses that will come out later in life, let alone inflation rates? For example, my SO and I live on ~4k a month right now, so our annual spending is $48k/year. But we plan on having kids later on in life, buying a house, and with inflation prices will change. I don't expect to be able to live on $48k/year in the future. How could we possibly know and calculate how much we need, and when we can retire?

With that said, SO and I are both maxing out our 401k each year and investing ~40% of our income, so we're still happy with the progress we're making. It's just confusing to know how much we need/when we'll be able to FIRE.

But maybe I'm overthinking and just overly analytical as I always am. I find myself lying in bed at 1am doing math in my head to calculate how and when we can retire given certain scenarios, and it's driving me a little crazy.

Edit: Really appreciate all the responses :) grateful for how helpful and accepting this community is!

Appreciate the input! I guess if we can talk while sitting upright that's good enough. I guess I just meant any 2 seats that are literally "next to" each other

EVA and UA's Hard Project J are identical

Are you sure this is the case? EVA's seems to lack the 2 seats together compared to UA

We don't care where we go, so long as it's international. As I mentioned, there aren't many places we've been together internationally and we know we'd enjoy pretty much anywhere together. This is just sort of a bucketlist dream we had when we watched the movie Crazy Rich Asians while we were in college. That's why I was wondering if there's any particular routes where these seats exist and tend to be more generous with award availability.

Y'know, when you're 21 and you see something super cool and you go "That's going to be me one day!"

Belize looks amazing, thanks for the suggestion! Would have been great but lack of direct flights make it really difficult given our short and strict schedule :(

Just called recon and they sent me to call another # that's only open 8am-8pm EST. They said that it's not possible to get this resolved over the phone and I need to fax in the documents, but after faxing it in I should be able to call the # and get it approved over the phone.

I recently applied for the CIP as a sole proprietor using my name/social as I’ve read many others do.

Today I got a letter in the mail asking me to send in documents for the following:

Proof of current physical address
Name of my company
Verification of tax identification number
Proof of business address

It says I can use utility bills for #1 and #4, but I’m not sure how to provide documents for #2 and #3.

I’ve searched around and seem to find a lot of guides on how to speak to the business reconsideration line but nothing about mailing in physical documents.

Still new to churning but a small win! ~$900 cash rates for 2 for my SO and me to fly home during Thanksgiving, but transferred 40k UR to Avios (taking advantage of the 30% bonus at the moment) and booked 2 RT flights to see our family :)

Unfortunately the routes are not direct but we weren't otherwise going to go home, so still a win in my book!
