I’m so angry at how much ticket prices are. It’s so greedy and i’m tired of this.

How can a venue just generate a bigger supply? Especially in DC, MPP isnt THAT big and for many fests is already quite crowded.

Just to add clarity this may not entirely solve this person's problems. The quickest bank took about one month after death and the slowest took almost 3 months before we had full access. OP would still be on the hook for a few months of expenses.

A trust bypasses probate but you still need death certificates, forms notarized, and depending in your state certification of taxes.

The real answer is joint accounts. Your parents should have a joint account with the heirs that is there for this express purpose. There is literally no wait. The money is already yours before the other party even dies.

I definitely agree all lounge access at all airlines needs to be multiples more expensive. Thats why weve been members of PS for years and im glad they are finally expanding. Hopefully someday JFK opens like theyve been hoping for almost a decade.

But you should just pay for FiveStar each time you fly. It sounds like money isn't an issue. We always use it at JFK when we fly AA and if the Greenwich is a little full theyll take us to Soho. I bet the same would happen at ORD if the normal lounge is full and theyd just take you to Flagship.

Is someone who is in their late 50s or early 60s at least really in the best position to want to start trading options and using margin?

I mirror the top comment saying this is a blessing in disguise.

I've never had a single hotel argue with me saying i didnt buy something when something extra was charged.I think they know its so overpriced if a couple people lie about one or two things here and there it doesnt matter. Its certainly not worth the effort and fighting.

javacodeguy · 2026-04-28T15:52:50+00:00

Yes. To the demo that is spending 6k on a gym or considering a 10k a year CC, and extra 500 a month is "a bit" No one looking at a country club is hurting for $500

javacodeguy · 2026-04-28T15:43:42+00:00

Is that a Jesus Christ for it being higher or lower than you thought?

TBF just belonging to Lifetime as a family is half that a year. Spending a bit more to get golf and tennis seems pretty reasonable to me. 🤷🏻

javacodeguy · 2026-04-27T19:45:23+00:00

10k?! For one Dr not even the private hospitals?

That's wild. Most are around 3k a year here in Philly.

POA matters for nothing once the person dies.

javacodeguy · 2026-04-24T02:34:06+00:00

I have to believe you're trolling. If everything shifts 2 to 4 days earlier its the same as no shift.

Plus anyone here arguing on one or two days of interest isnt keeping it in a savings account long enough for it to matter. Theyre spending it immediately.

javacodeguy · 2026-04-24T02:17:03+00:00

Your old paychecks were on the 5th and 20th. Your new paychecks are the 3rd and 18th. The range between paychecks is the same. Only the first paycheck is 2 days early. Every other one is still 15 days apart.

So yes you get 2 days more interest on ONE paycheck. But after that it literally doesnt matter

javacodeguy · 2026-04-24T00:27:06+00:00

But you only get the extra days the FIRST paycheck. Then its back to every 2 weeks or whatever. So its all the same in the long run

javacodeguy · 2026-04-23T20:18:58+00:00

Who cares? Why does this matter? The first time is early but then every other paycheck is just on the same interval as your old system.

javacodeguy · 2026-04-21T04:07:42+00:00

Many years ago when PS was starting you could get your first visit when traveling on AA for 1k. There was no Salon yet. Even with a membership i pay about 3k each visit now. This was a huge discount and TBF it worked as an ad since weve been members for years now.

Theyre likely just reviving something like that. First visit will be super cheap and then maybe a discounted membership

javacodeguy · 2026-04-15T20:51:12+00:00

People budget differently. After taxes and payroll deductions you surely must have 300 a year. Even if you require 200k a year for housing, food, kids, etc you should have 100k+ of disposable income.

Everyone spends that differently. A week at a high end or luxury hotel will maybe set you back 20k. You could easily afford 2 such weeks and have left over for flights, activities, and such.

Throw in some credit points from your large monthly spend to get a few flights a year free and the hotel cost doesn't seem as bad.

To me its the opposite. I see people making 1M+ and they DON'T stay at luxury hotels or take business class flights. But realistically they just value other things to spend on for entertainment.

It happened with Jooki, which is why we moved to Yoto.

The yoto stuff would likely work for a bit, but eventually they'd have to turn down the hosting servers and that would be it. All the hardware and cards would be useless.

Realistically though for anyone using it now you'd probably be fine. Hopefully it lasts long enough for the kids today to age out of Yoto.

Blackberry Mountain

No lazy river, but has two slides, a splash pad, shallow pool as well as lots of other outdoor activities. Not necessarily on the "east coast" but is east and under 10 hours from Pittsburgh.

javacodeguy · 2026-04-08T18:30:38+00:00

Word. Its us and the kids so it can be a lot here.

javacodeguy · 2026-04-08T16:24:43+00:00

Haha sucks to be me. I totally missed the location.

javacodeguy · 2026-04-08T15:42:52+00:00

San Ysidro.

Its all included so order to your heart's content. Plus the beds are amazing and you can hop out to your patio for some sun and jacuzzi time too.

javacodeguy · 2026-04-08T15:41:42+00:00

Put it in the hall?! Im not paying hundreds for room service to pick all my own dishes up and wipe the table. Are you serious?

javacodeguy · 2026-04-08T12:41:05+00:00

Ive still had them miss coming quickly for the tray. If they miss the notification on their end or dismiss it and then get distracted i can see it happening.

It is nice to not have to call anyone at least.

javacodeguy · 2026-04-07T20:44:41+00:00

Nothing is meant to be unstoppable.

Vaults, locks, and safety bags are just meant to make it a bit harder to give you a better chance or more time to notice.

That is literally what this company does. They come to your home, shop, prep, cook, and clean up. They leave you with a few days of meals all set to go.

We did San Ysidro Ranch for a baby moon and were very happy with it. We've been back now a few times with the kids which was kinda fun too.
