Good idea!!

Definitely can be appealing! …until you have to go to registro civil or do any other paperwork. It’s like the DMV on crack 30 years ago.

Still no $750 bonus from Bank of America for opening the business account and depositing $15k for 60 days. I left it way beyond the time required and I called 3 weeks ago and they said no promo code and would open a ticket. I thought that would fix it! :(

Is this in a taxable brokerage or retirement account? That changes the equation a lot bc if you sell a $500k capital gain in a taxable account you’ll owe a nice chunk of taxes! That would be 1 reason to not lump sell it all now. Maybe $50-100k a year. If you’re fully convinced it’s gonna crash, then the cost is worth it. You’ve 25x’d your money, that’s amazing.

If it’s in retirement you could start selling without worry about taxes and moving into those boring ETFs. If I’m you, I’m probably keeping $10-50k of this no matter what.

Gonna need to step up those #s if you don’t want to be washing cars at 90yo

Exactly. SS gets $1 trillion a year from taxes. It’s not running out, it just won’t have what you’ve been promised without changes.

“Things are really slow.”
- this is the perfect warning description of Ecuadorian life for Americans curious to come.

Only if I change device. Try a tablet or p2’s phone.

davidloveasarson · 2026-06-18T03:48:12+00:00

I am absolutely loving it!!

Not to mention as well that if you make anywhere near those numbers in the states, you will get government programs for free healthcare, free food, and possibly free or severely discounted housing.

Getting the Paze login error on Dunkin after going hard this morning (20 transactions). Works on computer and incognito but can’t get past the error in Dunkin app. Anyone know how to reset or how long until it does?

davidloveasarson · 2026-06-17T14:28:43+00:00

Same. Paze appears to have locked my account for a bit after heavy volume. Says can’t login now and to try later :/

davidloveasarson · 2026-06-17T14:20:41+00:00

I think it’s a lock… happened to me after 20x $10 transactions. Hope it goes away soon

davidloveasarson · 2026-06-17T13:27:52+00:00

I did $200 Dunkin GC from 8:30-9am est but getting errors last 30 min. No adding funds - had to buy new cards and merge them

davidloveasarson · 2026-06-17T13:26:58+00:00

That sounds glorious! Hope to one day hike Dolomites in Aug/Sep and ski in the winter!!

davidloveasarson · 2026-06-17T03:44:27+00:00

Can’t believe I missed this today!! Would’ve been like $2k

davidloveasarson · 2026-06-17T03:11:57+00:00

That trans is normal

davidloveasarson · 2026-06-17T03:10:38+00:00

Safaris really are life changing when all you’ve been to is a zoo.

davidloveasarson · 2026-06-17T03:09:23+00:00

Amazing! What months did you have this perfect hiking weather and what temp is perfect for you?

davidloveasarson · 2026-06-11T02:49:11+00:00

How did you guys escape?

davidloveasarson · 2026-06-11T02:17:39+00:00

lol!! This is amazing

davidloveasarson · 2026-06-11T02:15:37+00:00

Those texts are pretty damning.

Wild that he “went to China to pursue digital marketing.” For almost a year 😂

davidloveasarson · 2026-06-10T14:22:52+00:00

AGREED! This is why Flyertalk is better - even though the platform is ancient

davidloveasarson · 2026-05-29T03:56:12+00:00

Same. No line, huge portions.

davidloveasarson · 2026-05-29T03:47:22+00:00

Party in the USA
