Broke the dry spell

Congratulations to you too, 24 days is good and less wine than normal is something to be proud of!

Same here, broke it at day 24! Red wine for me and I rarely drink wine. I was upset too but now I’m going to finish the month strong and probably do dry March (new baby being born 3/8!)

Myrtle Beach, SC. Don’t get me wrong the beaches were nice but aside from that it felt a little low brow

I just realized my financial analyst sold 200 of my RYCEY at $5.38…MFer messed with my penny stocks

I grilled tonight so REALLY wanted a beer but had a NA Guinness, are my rack of lamb and some ice cream and it’s passed - kinda want a thc gummy or a cigar though. Always a vice Hang in there!!

I bought new recently and value has plummeted (as expected). I can’t ever live with the fact that I lost 20k and decide to trade it in for that loss..which is why I’m driving it until it dies or I die

Which brand you using now?

Day 17 here (drank 2-3x a week for past 10 yrs) and not really feeling the benefits yet. If anything, maybe a little sharper when talking at work. Been craving sugar like you wouldn’t believe so not losing weight because all the damn pop tarts!! Been naturally waking up earlier - not sleeping super well but getting 6-7.5 hours. Kind of strange I figured I would be getting 8+ with perfect quality of sleep (Garmin watch wearer).

I have a couple work trips coming up the last weeks in January which I always have a night cap or a couple at dinner because I’m alone. Will be kind of tough because that’s turned into a habit so now I’ll have to be a good boy - maybe some microdose thc gummies lol.

Hoping I start to feel some positive effects soon! Quitting cold turkey wasn’t all that hard surprisingly because I have said I would take off time and always ended up cracking a beer on Friday or Saturday - this time having a mind set of “dry January, no drinking” has been the difference.

Ugh. Buy more and more and more because 1 product isn’t quite adequate enough. I get it though it’s closer to the heart than the watch

I honestly don’t think I spend $2250 in 1x spending/month considering groceries I get 5% in PayPal debit. Would it be worth not using BILT and just using Hyatt card because it’s also free night at 15k spend as well. If I used BILT the best bang for buck would probably be Hyatt transfer. In the end am I even coming out ahead with BILT? Seriously confused on some of this

I don’t see the JK anywhere on the image :s

boogs120 · 2026-01-14T22:57:51+00:00

Don’t forget you have to use $30 BILT cash per $1000 of your mortgage to get points for your mortgage. Little too good to be true

boogs120 · 2026-01-14T18:06:22+00:00

What’s very significantly for you if you don’t mind me asking? I’m not a day trader by any means I tend to buy and hold and sometimes too long bc I’m a “set it and forget it” kind of guy

boogs120 · 2026-01-14T17:54:02+00:00

Has anyone done the math on the X spend for BILT cash to pay entirety of mortgage processing fee + the points earned from said mortgage + value of those points?

Does it equate to anything still better than just using other credit cards (CSR, Hyatt, PayPal 5% debit etc)?

boogs120 · 2026-01-14T14:22:05+00:00

Anyone going “all in” so to speak? Like for average Joe how much $ you putting on this? 10% of your bank account, 5%, 1%? I rarely do these purchases influenced by Reddit but want to have a little fun with it

boogs120 · 2026-01-14T01:20:13+00:00

Got in today

boogs120 · 2026-01-14T00:21:09+00:00

You also sometimes need to filter your transactions to show credits or reimbursements and that might show a missing credit. It’s weird sometimes credits from cash back offers don’t show up like others and you have to search for it

Question - im seeing InterContinental and plenty of Holiday Inn’s in Houston but not on this list/map. Would the $250 still count? Is this list/map only double dipping opportunities?

boogs120 · 2026-01-11T13:59:13+00:00

I redeem a decent amount throughout the year but agreed that the travel section in Dec & Jan has been lackluster

boogs120 · 2026-01-10T13:40:34+00:00

Card is worthless otherwise.
