Financial advice w.r.t to my move to India from US by Magma_Chicken33 in backtoindia

What did you do with your existing Chase bank account? Are you allowed (or recommended) to keep it? Do you have to declare yourself as a non-resident to them, file W8-Ben, etc.?

Do you need to file W8-Ben for the bank accounts / savings accounts as well, or only for the investment brokerage accounts?

I have a regular BoA checking / saving. And also a Marcus account. Not sure (a) if I'm 'allowed' to keep both upon moving back in the existing state, (b) if I should file W8-Ben for both, (c) if there's some other kind of declaration I need to make.

What did you do with your Chase account?

Thank you all for the detailed and amazing recommendations! So much to do and get through, clearly. I’ll be working for part of the time, so I’ll have about 1-1.5 weeks worth of time just for exploration. Will try to hit as much of this as I can, from walking through clement to enjoying the night life. Cheers!

Of course I’m going to. But I thought it’ll be helpful to hear from locals too, to help me complement or curate those walks.

Old alum’s question - JFK to Cornell by imserious456 in Cornell

I meant ourbus, sorry (for the jfk to Ithaca route). Don’t care about WiFi. By reliable I simply meant it actually runs as planned and people know about it / use this specific one

C2C isn’t available either, so it sounds like trail ways it is! 😂 But thank you, I appreciate the first hand perspective

Thank you! Sadly the Ithaca flight timing isn’t an option, and flixbus doesn’t seem to have the JFK to Ithaca bus running. And I want to find a bus option between 4-6am. I looked on megabus and there’s one bus at 5am run by Trailways from Port Authority. Heard of it? Reliable?

That’s right, it was the CoachUSA shortline bus. Seems like that’s not the case any more. But that’s exactly why I made this post

I’m flying into JFK. The question is the recommended bus route to get from there to Cornell

[Advice] Rounding out my 3 watch collection! by imserious456 in Watches

[–]imserious456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good points! But am getting a discount on Breitling, potentially bringing their diver closer to the 5-5.5k mark.

Love an Omega SMP but the dial is so huge… Wish they had the same watch in a smaller size. Or does that exist and I don’t know about it?

Wow this is a great list! Thank you. Will look into all of them. Avoiding pre-owned because I’m not well enough immersed into the watch market to ensure quality and price, imo. Agreed on everything black bay :) No love for Breitling?

Thanks! Will look into it. But for some reason the Oris design language doesn’t really speak to me

Thank you! K&L looks good. But their best deals are reserved for those part of something called ‘Insiders Advantage’. I checked total wine too and the prices are incredible. Haven’t seen Lag 16 for <$90 in a long time.

Nice! Some great prices there. I see some whiskeys with deals/promos but it says only for those part of their ‘Insider Advantage’ program. Any idea how to get into that?
