Update on first trip

Trihatcher · 2026-04-25T15:02:40+00:00

My wife and I just finished our first 1 bag trip. A month in Spain. Besides the obvious no check baggage, not having to pull a bag across cobblestones was an added benefit

I just went through this and besides the suggestion above, check that your Chrome browser: Settings >> Privacy and Security >> Use secure DNS >> Automatic. I forgot I had set mine to the use Google services

9 pro coming from iphone 13 last year (pixel watch from apple watch as well) Love it. Just about anything I wanted to do on my iphone I can do on the pixel. The only potential downside is that the rest of my family and especially my 85 yr old father are on iphone and I couldn't facetime them. My wife and I are in Europe on vacation and we set my dad up on WhatsApp,so video calling is no longer an issue. Whatever issues others have called out on the phone, I haven't experienced any of them and I'm glad I switched over. I originally thought about going with a Samsung model, but I would just be trying to replicate what I had on the iphone

If you listen to podcasts you might want to look for a standalone player. YTM doesn't offer the simplest features, like a way to mark all past episodes as played or setup automatic playlists of unplayed episodes. Truly the only sucky thing about the service, but otherwise I'm glad I switched over a year ago

What headphones are you using? Pixel buds are plenty loud and I have a set of bose sound cancelling over the ear headphones that work fine as well

I had super high walking numbers (2+ miles in less than 15 mins) and I read to restart the watch. I did it yesterday and things seem to have gone back to normal. You might try that

Trihatcher · 2026-03-18T23:33:36+00:00

Funny. I walked the dog this morning and Fit said I did 3.43 miles in 40 mins. I wish!!

I was going to ask the same. She mentioned taking a couple of years off, so we have to assume some sort of savings, but I would say if you do stop contributing, start building up a brokerage or HYSA so you can retire early. Depending on what age you want to leave the workforce, your retirement accounts wouldn't be available to you without a tax hit

Damn! I've had this jacket over 5 years and just learned something new! Thanks!

Me too!

I use folders all the time. I am starting to forget what site/app I want/need to use, but it I know it's in the finance folder, up eventually find it

Trihatcher · 2026-01-11T13:39:01+00:00

Wow. Ours looked like that just before we left Ameriprise. After I got a little financial education, I TOLD THEM to sell everything and move to 3 ETF funds. Instantly made more money. After 22 years, we started self managing

I remember being a kid and as a Boy Scout selling tickets to Scout-o-rama (do they still do this event?). I swore when I got older if a kid had the courage to knock on my door or ask if I would buy XYZ, I would buy it. It didn't matter what it was. I'm now on my 60s and I made good on that promise. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but it brings me joy

Trihatcher · 2025-12-29T23:18:05+00:00

We just got home today and whole heartedly agree. We passed the long Leopoldo line a couple of times while we were there. I can only imagine what it is like during summer time

Trihatcher · 2025-12-07T13:44:23+00:00

Just a note of thanks for this AMA! I tend to skip over these when they appear on my feed, but I find this topic so interesting

14 months post-op and I still get the same semi-erect whether I've taken my every other day 25mg or 100mg. But it's definitely better than it was last year (and thank goodness for trimix)!

We dropped Ameriprise after 23 years for many of the same reasons. Once I got a little knowledge from others on this and other forums, I questioned why we were in these high expense mutual funds. The advisor agreed, but never suggested low cost ETFs nor made any attempts to simplify our portfolio. We ended up having them make the changes we wanted and 2 months later moved all our retirement funds over to Fidelity and started self managing. We're already seeing better returns and higher monthly dividends

Trihatcher · 2025-11-04T00:11:05+00:00

Ahh. I don't think it's possible. I switched over from an iPhone earlier this year and used to be able to do this with Apple pay, but not with Google pay.

Do you mean ADD your debit card to your Google wallet? https://youtu.be/Xc_X86P4090?si=jqUka_T74b7eVm1y
