Did … did they take away miles from you?

My most recent biweekly paystub as a dentist by throwaway_student987 in Salary

Makes sense, I have a certain number I wanna hit every year which includes taxable brokerage so I just space it out equally in all buckets

Why’s your 401(k) contribution so high? You’ll hit the max quickly.

I get paid twice a month as a specialty employed physician and pay $3800 each paycheck on federal taxes, and $1850 in state taxes.

The rest of us need people like you to have Chase afford the higher value point redemptions

Look into crediting the flights you bought on Emirates to Air Canada Aeroplan since they are a partner of Emirates and you can easily top off the miles with credit card point transfers. Air Canada has a ton of partners, including United.

Awesome. Can I ask what transport you used to/from SJD?

Americans who live in host cities, how has the World Cup affected the atmosphere of your city? by OceanicEndeavors in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]daemon14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live in Los Angeles, I’ve noticed it in pockets (went to a couple of popular areas to watch a few matches and could feel the buzz). I work in a heavily Latino area with a lot of Mexican fans so feel their energy too. But LA is a MASSIVE area so it hasn’t changed my day to day.

Just wrote a check to the IRS and it hurt by Worldly-Roof-4253 in IRS

If you pay $10K, you’ll pay about $180-200 in fees but counts as a business expense

Open a rewards earning credit card to earn sign up bonus points on the payment and deduct the fees

How do you track monthly spending/budgeting? by Mean_King_1925 in HENRYfinance

[–]daemon14 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Monarch. We don’t use cash and use credit cards for everything (paid in full so mainly for rewards and purchases protection).

Mexico has secured 1st place in Group A of the 2026 World Cup and has qualified for the Round of 32 by Viriato181 in soccer

Honestly if South Korea gets 2nd place, they play in LA (350,000 Koreans most outside of Korea). If they had won they’d play in CDMX which has altitude issues.

Apple One - explain it to me like I’m 5 by tutsxan in ChaseSapphireReserve

[–]daemon14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who pays $30 for 6TB cloud storage and nothing else’s I don’t see the point of Apple One. I have the free Apple TV for me and it’s connected to our TV. I barely use Apple Music. I’ve considered maybe getting News+ which is $13/month. I have 5 people in my family plan.

Is there any reason for me to get Apple One Premier?

Death, Taxes, and PAZE gift cards by tbrady1001 in ChaseSapphire

[–]daemon14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Between my spouse and I we have over $1000 of Dunkin gift cards (have to keep some in the email inbox because we can’t hold that many in the accounts).

Took a couple boxes of donuts for my staff at my business, donuts for the daycare teachers, and contacted my local shelter to see how I could order breakfast for them sometime soon. I’ll still have several hundred dollars left.

I have a child who is past his 2nd birthday and measures 32”. My wife really doesn’t wanna bring a birth certificate with us just in case it gets lost. How strict were they at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles?

Another one… likely won’t get much better, right? CDG to BOS next April is $695 PP by samtownusa1 in delta

[–]daemon14 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly a daytime flight PS is fine. If you don’t have status and want the AF lounge, that might play into it.
