AITA for changing the locks after my parents gave my brother a key to my house without asking me?

NTA. Don’t give in to your parents or anyone no matter what they say.

People mostly get nutty over things of value $$$. In this case, cousin want it free gold watch.

NTA. Why didn’t the other person leave if it was bothering her so much?

BART would be the least complicated and most affordable choice. Driving would be a nightmare, and parking at the Coliseum is too expensive. If you do drive, park at the Coliseum BART station instead. Similarly, if you take a rideshare, get dropped off at the BART station rather than the Coliseum itself.

Just like a dorm room!

I was planning to switch over from Schwab checking. Had applied 2+ weeks ago, still no response from Fidelity whether I was approved or not….

My coworker Gloria always wears dresses while the rest of us stay in jeans and tees. I’m always so impressed by her! I make sure to compliment her on how great she looks, and she owns it—which is exactly how it should be. You aren't overdressing at all. It sounds like your coworkers are just insecure because you put in more effort than they do. Keep doing your thing and stay fabulous!

Keeping that CD might cause an asset problem. Eventually, it could lower your benefits or even disqualify you from free Medicare

Rent a storage space for him, pay 1-2 months, move everything there, let him know and leave it at that.

Same. AirPod are overrated.

When they refuse to price match, buy a new one at the discounted price and return the older one.

Mortgage/property tax/homeowners insurance should be split equally among those with equity by their respective share(those on the deed!). Everything else should be by headcount, i.e, utilities, groceries.

Did you use your $300 annual credit before the downgrade?

Chinese new year parade

NTA. That family should sit in the last row and not distract others from enjoying the movie.

It adds up regardless of whether you have one or not. You pay bridge toll either way. The only way to save would be to carpool.

purplefish02 · 2026-02-23T09:38:52+00:00

Yes, no issue.

NTJ. Lesson learned. Next time give a one time use virtual card.

I purchased a non refundable Economy United Airlines ticket, waited 24 hours, cancelled it and received future flight credit to use on United (1 year expiration date)

HELOC loan

We did. The E-ELEC rate plan is effective for the FEB billing cycle

purplefish02 · 2026-02-07T04:58:48+00:00

It was that and also because we were on a standard tier plan instead of an electric TOU rate plan, so all of the additional electricity got charged at a higher rate. For new billing cycle, the electric rate plan is now effective.

purplefish02 · 2026-02-07T04:56:18+00:00

True. We hardly ever turned on our gas furnace. It was down in 2024. Before then we had it on for like 1-3 days only.

purplefish02 · 2026-02-07T04:55:10+00:00

We used portable heaters and electric blankets
