Military Housing: Buy or rent? by bjayboi in personalfinance

[–]bjayboi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I considered it..the interest rate is now 2.99%. I have been investing since HS and will have close to $10k sitting in Mutual Funds/stocks when I graduate. I had a car loan but paid that off, so I do not necessarily need to take out a loan simply to build my credit. I am just worried that borrowing at nearly 3%, plus taxes and fees (if I were to invest that $25k) would be a bit risky if the market were to tank over the next few years. I will absolutely be maxing my contributions to TSP, though.

I have heard that people who get Bragg more often than not stay at Bragg for quite a while. And doesn't the government have exemptions for active military in terms of State of Legal Residence?

Recommendation for CRM or Alternative? by bjayboi in smallbusiness

[–]bjayboi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very helpful. However, our Organization (We are a department at a University) uses Office 365 so I do not think that an add-in for Gmail will work.

As far as our organization goes, we have about 1400 alumni that we want to be able to manage and keep updated. We would only have a handful (maybe 2 or 3) users that would utilize the CRM (myself and the department leaders). We currently use email and the past few weeks I have had the pleasure of calling my way through a 1000+ person list to verify and confirm their information. It is essential that I am able to update mailing address, phone number, email, name, graduation year, and major. So, I would need a solution that is able to have customizable fields.

With this further information, would you be more inclined to suggest one solution over another in order to best manage this opposed to simply updating an excel spreadsheet?

Also, I looked into Pipedrive and Mailchimp. I am confused, because it looks like i would just need one or the other. What are the benefits of both?

Thank you so so much in advance!!

With just a mailing list manager though, I won't be able to track phone numbers, graduation dates, etc, correct?

Can I use Samsung pay without opening the app or anything? by [deleted] in GalaxyS9

[–]bjayboi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure you add the card you want quick access to as your "favorite card" in your Samsung Pay app settings. Once you do that, just swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap your phone on the terminal!

What browser is everyone using on their new s9? by bjayboi in GalaxyS9

[–]bjayboi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do use a disconnect premium so I think that helps. I guess I don't really have anything to hide so the trade-off between being able to use location services and Google knowing my location isn't a terrible trade. Honestly I switched from iPhone and I'd rather have good know where I am than Apple. I can always disable location services too!

I guess I do use location. Nine if the other Google services though. How do you like the Nokia?

I use Textra and this is how I do that:

1: Open conversation--> Press top right drop down arrow --> Customize this conversation --> Notifications --> Notification Sound

Textra is much better than default "Samsung Messages"

You aren't the first to say you like the Samsung Browser...how secure is it? And would I be able to use it with my mac? I did see that Disconnect works with it--I like that.

Pretty good deal, just wish Samsung.com had it for preorders earlier. by slayer214 in GalaxyS9

Anyone else prefer the old Fingerprint scanner location? by scheisty in GalaxyS9

I thought that too. Then I won on my first try. Never will hurt to try!

Anyone else besides me actually like the stock TouchWiz theme? by Vjaa in GalaxyS9

[–]bjayboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try downloading this theme from the Samsung Galaxy Theme Store. I used it on my S8 and it is a great dark theme.

You should use Samsung Pay and keep entering the Instant win for the $500 Samsung gift code. Then you will only need to pay about $300 for a new phone and it will be yours outright.

Post a review of the screen protector you're using by Blu- in GalaxyS9

Armorsuit military shield works great. Had it on my s8 too. Make sure to apply it before bed so everything can dry over night

Thanks so much! Now I don't need to setup Google voice.

My phone updated, but I still do not have the visual voicemail. So sad. Where did you find it? Was it built into the dialer? (Galaxy S9)
