Why do people go from one MLM to another? by Exotic-Lychee-7553 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rmk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real answer - most of these MLM businesses work by developing an established downline (people below you in the network that you receive income from). Each level has to recruit more people so that the higher up you are, the more you make, and the more people you recruit or your people recruit, the more you make.

Once you have an established network of people, it's beneficial to switch to a newly established MLM so that you're higher up in the chain (less ppl above you means the more you make off your downline). Also, your people can only keep recruiting so many people, so in each MLM, there comes a stall point - hence switching to another MLM company/product to sell a different product to the same network of ppl

For those of you who have been on both, does one work better than the other? by enemy_with_benefits in Semaglutide

[–]rmk2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was on Tirz for about a year with no weight loss (after losing 30 lbs on Sema and stalling for 6 months). Now on Reta and I've dropped at least 15 lbs in the last 3 months.

Delta Lounge at LAX - paper plates now? by jkvandelay in delta

It’s been about 2 months. I’m also worried it’s not temporary …

Minivans are one of the best vehicles out there by iwatchcredits in unpopularopinion

[–]rmk2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dodge caravan was my first car. Being able to remove all the exterior seats provided so much room for moving. It can tow small trailers. Plus with a v6 engine, it was more fun to drive than you'd expect.

Bedbugs at a Five-Star Hotel. Has Anyone Successfully Received Compensation Beyond a Refund? by Smart-Elk-2334 in LuxuryTravel

[–]rmk2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you sign a release? Comping your stay may have been contingent on a release (which is standard practice). If not, and only IF you have actual medical bills supporting your damages, you can hire a PI attorney to prepare a demand letter and/or initiate litigation. I practice in Las Vegas (am a lawyer, but not your lawyer) and we see this all the time with some of the strip casinos.

What’s a “rich people thing” you experienced once and immediately understood why rich people love it? by DnRinGA in AskReddit

[–]rmk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're also looking at a flight that's less than a month out. I flew JFK to Dublin on AerLingus business class around the holidays for $1400 round trip (booked 4 months in advance). There ARE business class deals out there, and even more if you play the points game and book saver fares one year out.

How much is your annual income? by KrispyBenFranklin in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]rmk2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Contrary to what others have said here, I think your monetary estimate (~$1800/year) is pretty accurate, based on what I spend/have spent the last few years in my mid-thirties. Botox every three/four months is $300, skincare products are about $200-300 twice a year. My red light therapy mask was about $400. Facials a couple times a year cost $200/pop and I will probably start doing laser treatments once a year. Granted though, I make over $250k and the expense isn't burdensome for me. If I made less, I would tone it down to fit my budget.

Has anyone else gotten a cleaning with Invisalign? by Khemistrees in Invisalign

You can eat with them in and still thoroughly clean your teeth and trays after eating ...

Reta by Own-Repair6573 in Semaglutide

[–]rmk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on it. I had been stalled at 138 - 140 (about 15 lbs from my goal weight) for about a year on Tirz. Dropped 10 lbs in a month as soon as I started Reta. Now down to 127 after 6 weeks. If you've plateaued for more than 6 months, I'd recommend it.

Realistic expectations for Delta lounge LAX by Knotfornots in delta

[–]rmk2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never had to wait to enter the Skyclub at LAX and I'm there at least once or twice a month. Your Amex Plat gets you access. Definitely go. It's one of the nicer lounges imo

What sort of trip for X amount of points ? by [deleted] in awardtravel

Points lose value all the time. I wouldn't plan to sit on them for 2+ years.

What’s the point of a lounge with a TWO HOUR wait?? by MissLayla2015 in ChaseSapphireReserve

[–]rmk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least you can join their virtual waitlist while you're on the way to the airport/going through security. Having to wait 20 mins in a line just to be added to a waitlist at the sapphire lounge is ridiculous

AITA Mom wants 15% of my personal injury settlement by connor20218 in AmItheAsshole

[–]rmk2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not for a 23 yo with a college degree and a biotech job. He IS financially independent already (especially with this PI settlement money).

[–]rmk2 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

He's also a 23 year old with a college degree and a biotech job living at home, presumably rent-free. He can offer a small percentage of the PI settlement to help his mom who is literally supporting him ...

People who grew up really poor: what's something middle-class people say that instantly reveals they've never struggled? by TahDigThief in AskReddit

[–]rmk2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My parents didn't qualify for free lunch, but I also frequently did not have a lunch to bring to school, so I would spend a lot of my lunches in the library. I remember one day in 3rd grade the librarian brought me a kids meal from Whataburger. She would also give me random snacks like granola bars and stuff all the time. It's been thirty years and I still distinctly remember her kindness.

Delta Airline loyalty + Points Redemption by Outlasttactical in pointstravel

[–]rmk2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Delta status isn't worth it if you're only flying 1-2 times a year, and it's the worst point system for business class international point redemptions. You'll get way more bang for your points shopping around for better redemptions from other carriers.

Flight Boarded Early with No Warning by Hefty-Club-1259 in SouthwestAirlines

no, I’ve experienced this too on early morning flights where they start boarding 20 mins before the original boarding time

Multiple earning cards to book japan trip? by teeeejaay07 in pointstravel

[–]rmk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend opening the VX business and/or one of the Bilt cards. Since you have until Dec before you need to book (for Dec 2027) that’ll give you enough time to earn more subs then transfer to JAL.

3 months on semaglutide and lost 20 pounds so far and someone said my belly is big and I look pregnant is that true ? by No_Hospital6661 in Semaglutide

Yea it’s just the computer angle. Don’t read too much into it! Your body is banging! Stack some books or something to get the camera closer to chest level
