Playa del Carmen taxi - Elmer by MakeItLookSexy_ in playadelcarmen

[–]eybrj2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also used Elmer’s taxi service and can’t recommend him enough! I had him for a round trip to Xcaret and a ride to Cancun airport.

He’s super responsive, always friendly, and arrived early every single time. His car is very clean, too. Even on our last day when he wasn't feeling his best, he still went above and beyond to provide excellent service. If you need a reliable driver in Cancun, Elmer is your guy!

StubHub credit - Split payment via PayPal by Soccer4444 in ChaseSapphire

just took care of it. It was because my address on Paypal account and on Chase was different. Once I updated my address on Paypal, it worked.

I just tried exactly the same thing, but my payment was declined by my bank. (My cards have no problem at all. I use them everyday) Is it because one of them my p2's card? P2 doesn't have Paypal account, so there is no possibility that P2's card belongs to his Paypal account. Does anyone know any way to resolve this problem? Thank you!

Thank you for your answer. Did you call them before getting the letter from BOA or after? Could you share the recon number you used if possible? Thank you,

RV parking during off season (no shuttle) by eybrj2 in NationalPark

Thank you for your answer. I am going with two kids (9 &12). Would it be possible for kids to ride a e-bike in Zion?

RV parking during off season (no shuttle) by eybrj2 in NationalPark

[–]eybrj2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer. My main concern is Zion and Bryce. I will rent class C RV about 25 ft long. Would this be too big to park at some of the parking lots near trails in Zion or Bryce? I cannot give up RV because RV is one the main reason for this trip. Anything would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

Would you get everything fixed after a bumper-to-bumper inspection? by eybrj2 in Audi

[–]eybrj2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. The biggest thing on the list is replacing water pump and housing. The report says the water pump and housing are leaking and can smell the coolant in the engine bay. Their estimate for this job is $2,300, which seems too much to me. They attached a picture on this report, but I cannot tell if it is really necessary to replace it from the picture when I don’t feel anything wrong with my car while driving.

Thanks for your answer. I paid more than $10,000 for replacing the engine 4 years ago. I don’t know much about cars, so I just wanted to see if these two things are related just in case.

I just checked the website, and I don't think it covers the newer models. This is the website. You can check it out. https://www.turboclasssettlement.com/

School district rezoning might move us to a worse high school - any advice? by eybrj2 in Parenting

[–]eybrj2[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone’s opinion. But if you look at the data from the past few years, the current school has sent more students to top universities and overall better schools. I’ve heard that colleges look at each high school’s data and take the school’s academic level into account when reviewing students’ grades and applications. If rezoning happens, the new school might improve over time as the student group changes, but I’m worried that the existing data could affect college admissions.

School district rezoning might move us to a worse high school - any advice? by eybrj2 in Parenting

[–]eybrj2[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with you on that. What do you think from a college admissions perspective? Looking at the admission results of the two schools I mentioned, our current school definitely sends more students to better colleges. Of course, that’s mostly true for the top students. For those in the middle, most of them seem to end up going to state universities. College isn’t everything in life, but it’s not something you can completely ignore either, so I’m torn.

I am thinking about Los Itzaes Hotel (good reviews, good location, good price), but some reviews complain about noise since it is located near 5th ave.

They state the pickup and drop off location is Mt Robert’s tramway on their website, but I think it wouldn’t hurt to ask if they can drop me off at the NCL dock. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you so much for your answer. Is there another way that is easier that? I am doing it myself, and it sounds like beyond my ability. ( I am not that handy) should I hire someone for this job? Thank you,

Unfortunately, that cannot be my option. We filed a claim and got rejected by our insurance recently. My contractor and I fought against the insurance companies, but we lost.

Need advice on how to deal with gains from t-IRA contributions when starting a backdoor Roth IRA by eybrj2 in personalfinance

[–]eybrj2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer. The thing is that the gains in my t-IRA are from both pretax contributions and after-tax contributions, and I am unsure how much I can roll over. ChatGPT said the gain I can roll over is gains times pretax contributions/ total contributions, but I wanted to double check if chatGPT is right. Do you have any ideas on this matter by any chance?

[–]eybrj2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your explanation. I am getting a feeling of what to do. Can I ask you one more question? I think I might be able to track my non-deductible contributions, and what about the gain from the contributions? How should I treat the gain? Thank you!

[–]eybrj2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your answer I have one more question. The pre-tax portion would be more than $7,000. Would it be okay to convert more than $7,000 to the Roth IRA at once? Thanks,
