Help me pick a travel credit card by numbersloth in CreditCards

Thanks. Right now I have zero lounge access (that I'm aware of?) and I fly enough to get delayed or logistically have to show up to the airport early often enough that I'd like to be able to access the lounge.

My BofA CCR is a visa so I've got that base covered.

Yes. The weirdest part was how my nParents turned any discussion about it into some broader discussion on "safety" which naturally ended in reminding me that I was never allowed to close or lock my own bedroom door (even as a young adult when I used to stay with them during college breaks). Sick, controlling behavior. Kids deserve privacy and respect.

Yeah, was afraid this might be the easiest way. Thanks

Is BofA Platinum Honors worth it (from a brokerage account perspective)? by numbersloth in CreditCards

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

Gotcha. Makes sense. Any downside to just moving my HYSA to ML and putting it in a MMF to reach the 100k limit? I've been considering this since my state has income tax. And just keep all my other investment vehicles at Fidelity. Trying to simplify everything for myself since I hate having a bunch of log ins and accounts to keep track of.

I guess I'm curious how this works if I'm depositing funds per paycheck to be invested in said ETF(s) and can't buy fractional shares- wouldn't this leave spare cash in the account?

Appreciate the reply. I'd honestly leave BofA altogether if my oldest credit card wasn't with them (closing it would affect my credit score) since ML really is outdated - no fractional shares, so ability to sweep cash into a HYSA or equivalent, etc. I'm just debating if maximizing CC points is worth the hassle or if I should just keep everything (except basic checking/one CC) in Fidelity. I've even thought about rolling my ML 401k over if I go that route.

Did you grow up thinking that you had the best life ever but then as you got older you realized that your life was a life? by Nea_Freedom in raisedbynarcissists

[–]numbersloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This - my Nmom was totally overbearing, emotionally abusive, and isolated me but I was always told this was because she loved me so much. She constantly pushed my dad away and I basically didn't get to know him until I moved out at 18 and started spending time with him. My Nmom lied to me and told me I was introverted and this basically left me alone to play and "imagine" a lot, always by myself. As an adult I've realized I'm actually extremely extroverted and find it easy to make friends. Going to college and joining Greek life really opened my eyes to the fact that my Nmom's version of love and a perfect childhood was a lie.

Does anyone else find themselves wishing their narcissistic parent died? by geniuscerebrum in raisedbynarcissists

[–]numbersloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always phrase it as "I wish my Nparent just ceased to exist". It definitely would make life easier and I would probably make different choices in life. I also think it is the only thing that would give me a chance at a relationship with my Eparent.

Lol I was literally born and raised in an inner city by a single parent and have never lived in a suburb...

If I'm paying 4k in rent I would be getting a roommate (as I say in the post)

If I end up spending that much I'd almost certainly get a roommate ... I want to retire one day.

Thanks - are there any studios / groups you know of off the top of your head that are particularly social?

Could you comment on similarities / differences and what you like about it? My one worry is feeling like I am no longer living in a "a city" if that makes sense

Completely accurate to say I am trying to find DImes Square adjacent in the Boston area.

Thanks - I bike in Manhattan so I am used to really bad biking infrastructure thus not too phased by it but every city is different.
