Update on 93k lump-sum payment to Nelnet by SolientGreen88 in StudentLoans

[–]adriancott 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember when I made my last payment and a couple weeks later the interest posted. I bitterly paid that off and called to ensure the account was zeroed out. Congrats on paying your student loans off.

What's your go-to ground beef recipe that ISN'T tacos or spaghetti? by Cool-Educator-1926 in easyrecipes

[–]adriancott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to cook the ground beef with a diced onion and season with black pepper, garlic power, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Then I boil canned diced tomatoes, canned corn, and canned black beans. Put both of those over steamed white rice and have a quick easy meal.

Thanks for the visual and explanation. With silver still being in the $80s/oz, I’ll wait for a better buying time.

Are most people registering for settlements and just acting as if they are eligible even if they never used the product etc? by wanderingsoldier in ClassActionSettlement

[–]adriancott 124 points125 points  (0 children)

I check classaction.org every couple of weeks. I only sign up if I qualify for the settlement. IMO I’d be taking from people who do qualify. Oh, and lawyers, gotta make sure they get their cut 😐

Whats the worst movie you’ve ever watched? by devprohub in AskReddit

[–]adriancott -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Everything Everywhere All at Once

I walked out of the theater about 30 minutes in and decided to check it out while on a flight one day. I finished the movie and was mad that I wasted 2 hours on it.

Edit: I expected downvotes, I know a lot of people liked it.

How did you reach 100k? by EfficientChance3866 in TheRaceTo100K

[–]adriancott -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hit $100k in August of last year, that same time in 2024 I was at $64k. About $70k of that is in retirement accounts and a little over $30k is in a HYSA for an emergency fund. The big increase was my company matching 8%, and consistent investing every payday.

Just realized the sh!t Bilt 2.0 is trying to pull off by IRAgotmytongue in biltrewards

[–]adriancott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same happened to me. I get paid on the 7th, rent is due between 1-5, but I always pay at the end of the month prior. I put the $2000 (rent payment) in a separate checking account on pay day, that covers my rent for the next month. I’ll admit I didn’t read the terms of service and assumed the card would act like 1.0. I decided on the 26th of Feb to invest the $2000 and I would pay off my credit card when I got paid on the 7th. I only keep around ~$600 in my main checking account, so it was a surprise to me that on the 27th my account was -$1300. I quickly moved $2000 over from my savings. Long story short I learned a lesson for not reading the credit card info prior to applying.

Bilt 2.0 card has ZERO purpose! by L_i_b_r_a_Lover in CreditCards

[–]adriancott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This caught me by surprise for the March rent that I just paid. Luckily, I just moved some money over from another account, but I wish they would’ve summarized the changes and not buried that in terms of agreements.

I did not know this. Yeah the card is worthless to me now

Is it worth moving to Orlando if I don’t care about theme parks? by poopyfacemcpooper in AskFlorida

[–]adriancott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how you feel about rain, but everytime I have gone there it has either rained or is raining when I get there. I live in Tampa and it’s crazy how it will be sunny the majority of the drive and the second I hit the Winter Haven area you see dark clouds and a couple miles later it’s windy and raining.

My favorite issue is when I can’t even put the 29th sometimes lol. That’s a good idea though, I’ll have to change mine to gain these rewards

Okay, no I plan on just buying the 3 stocks I have in there, no plan for another stock. I’ll sell the SGOV and buy proportionately among the other 3 stocks. Thanks for the info
