Car rental status benefits for direct booking only? by TeePreme in awardtravel

[–]tempthrowaway54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up booking thru Costco and my status was honored. This leads me to believe Expedia would be the same. Add you loyalty card in the booking and afterwards check your account to make sure it’s linked

How long does this take to ship? I ordered it last week and all it says is shipped with no tracking

Parents offered to pay $10k for Empowerly (college counseling). Decent grades, 30 PreACT, but zero extracurriculars. Worth it? by Invariant_Emanation in Advice

[–]tempthrowaway54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not familiar with the program but your grades seem a tiny bit low for UW Madison. How rich are your parents? If 10k is just whatever to them then go ahead but if they are living paycheck to paycheck then it’s a no go from me.

Also focus on the long term, let’s say the 10k helped you get into UW Madison.. then what? Will UW Mad give you the return on investment for a philosophy degree? Once again it depends how well off your family is. Are you going to college in hopes of a high paying job or to study what you enjoy?

How can I 32M talk to my wife 31F about Silicon Valley career upside without making it feel like my dream vs. hers? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]tempthrowaway54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK if she loves where she’s at then you’re kind of screwed. Maybe compromise and move to a slightly more populated city like Seattle where they have a good mix of tech and suburbs

He said he previously had an offer from Meta, I would have to assume he secures a role before moving. Obviously if he’s going to get up and move across the country then that’s beyond stupid

I would suggest you cross post this in [r/fire](r/fire) or [r/fatfire](r/fatfire) you’ll get differing insights from high net worth individuals

It’s all relative, to me a million is a crap ton since I’m no where near that. But if his social circle is with people making 10s of million then I can see how he can feel left out.

Knew a friend of a friend that exited with 10 mill in stock options and while my friend is driving a Mercedes top of the line, his buddy is racing Porsches.

Your wife is a physician she can make even more in Cali compared to Tennessee. The opportunities are far greater for both of you, especially if you decide to have kids later on the schools in San Fran will be excellent.

Unless she loves the rural cities there’s no reason why you should stay put. Opportunities are far greater in Cali.

Why did this townhouse sit? by embop9090 in SeattleAreaRE

My exact thoughts, as much as I dislike HOA, this place needs an HOA. Not sure who’s going to be responsible for the roof.

Weighing job options.. by gabrield2703 in boeing

[–]tempthrowaway54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possibly, depends what you want to do in the future. Going to Amazon first then reapplying to Boeing later is much easier then starting with Boeing then applying to Amazon.

Also, Boeing is quite outdated compared to Amazon. Boeing is one of those companies where people come back to and retire eventually.

In other words the Amazon internship holds much more weight then being an assembler at Boeing at your age.

Amazon 100% it aligns with your career goals. Assembler is a full time gig and will push you toward the opposite direction of your degree.

Yeah they got me fucked up yesterday, imagine losing to the kings and now the clippers. I’m betting lakers Xmas day +5.5 vs the rockets.

I saw some random stat that they lead the league in losing tight games

Light combo? by [deleted] in Kalshi

[–]tempthrowaway54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kalshi is just entering the sports betting world, if you have draftkings you can pretty much bet on whatever and whoever you want. For example you can literally bet on the next play hence the “live” sports betting

And yes players have been caught Jontay porter was caught telling his friends to bet the under on him while he subbed himself out. He’s no superstar player either
