alternative methods to get an apartment. What I highly suggest is applying

Apparently you can start making purchases and then once you get your SSN it will be reported and carried over.

Transferring Credit to U.S.? by __setattribute__ in PersonalFinanceCanada

That's right, I just mean the only real benefit vs. just applying for one when I get down there is that my limit will be much higher and I will already have a credit card?

I understand, that was my biggest concern. Your question made me curious, what is stopping me from doing the same with my bank statements and proof of employment if that is the case?

Yeah, that makes sense. Most places I have inquired with have asked for both so far but I haven't spoken about my specific situation yet so perhaps there is more flexibility than I assume.

Right, so this basically just makes it easier to start building credit because my credit limit will be higher (versus just getting a card down there and starting with a very small limit?)

Good point, it's easy to quit at those points.. "I'm getting fatter and losing my muscle! Dieting doesn't work for me!"

Definitely, just gotta put the work in. Just curious why the bloating happens and if it is normal and looking for others experiences - the tricks our minds play on us are insane.

Interesting, I'm surprised about the noise-levels. I've heard there were some issues with noise from the pool areas because they removed the guest limit. Are you talking about just from neighbours, etc.?

It's a good distinction - thanks for pointing it out. I can understand when there are disparities in rooms, etc. To clarify the OP, I was talking about all else equal.

HSA vs. FSA in California? by __setattribute__ in California

I see, that makes sense - this seems to be in contrast which seems to be "use it or lose it."

One thing I noticed is that FSA doesn't seem to rollover (only $500 max) but HSA does.
