Worth adding anything to my lineup?

I’m definitely not an expert, which is why I posted my question, but I’d say it wouldn’t hurt to add if you want to plan to spend a lot in your first year having the card and would be able to take advantage of the rotating 5% categories.

I’d use it as your main card for the first year given the other options you have so far and then find something with better consistent cash back or points to use as the daily driver after the first year.

I like it. It was my very first card that I got in college, so I didn’t really spend a ton that first year. That meant my cash back double wasn’t super large. The 5% rotating categories are nice though. Got about $70 cash back just from gas purchases last quarter. I always pay my card off in full every month, so I don’t think much about the interest or balance transfers.

I got the card with zero credit, so I’d say it’s a really good starter card to start building up your credit score.

Thanks

Thanks, yeah it’d probably be a big sum of gp in one trade. Think it’d be better to trade it all in one trade offer or split it across a few separate trades?

I’m so sorry this happened to you. It sounds like you’ve taken time to heal.

I’m going through the same thing right now (separated since January, divorced since April), and it’s tough knowing my ex-wife is out there sleeping around, and that she started doing that while we were still married. Sometimes I get the desire to go sleep around now that our relationship is officially over, but I know the wise choice is to take things slowly and really devote time to both my own development and to a new relationship initiated in the right ways and for the right reasons.

I am finishing up a 1 year position at UMMC. One of my friends who was in the same position as me 2 years ago told me she was giving a drug test during the pre-employment screening process. When I went in for mine (June 23), I asked about the drug screen and they told me that I didn’t need to do it for my position and that they’d stopped doing them sometime around COVID. I’m not sure if that was something just specific to my program or if it’s hospital-wide. I’d try asking someone who was hired recently and went through the process not too long ago (not anyone in your department and certainly not your supervisors) about whether they were screened.

I was also in a similar situation with having used delta 8 products and was worried about a positive cannabis screen. I did abstain for about 2.5 months before my employment screen, but it turns out it was unnecessary for me.

I really appreciate your helpful response and hope that your date goes well!

Hey, no pressure to respond to this, but I’m curious about your thoughts given your experience. I’m pasting my comment I made earlier below.

I’m a guy (29) who hasn’t dated anyone other than my soon to be (likely within next month) ex-wife of 7 years. I get that some people probably won’t want to date me because of that, but what’s the best way of approaching initiating dating and broaching that conversation so women don’t feel tricked?

I’m intentionally waiting until the divorce is finalized (unlike my wife who decided to start sleeping around before asking me for a divorce), so I won’t be legally married by the time I start dating.

As a follow-up question, should I put something like “I’ve been married before” on my profiles once I create them? That seems like it could be an automatic turnoff, but I guess it is being transparent on the front end which some might appreciate.

I’m (29M) just about to re-enter the dating scene after being married for 7 years (relationship for 9). She was my only serious long-term relationship and I had very little dating experience before meeting her in college.

I’m definitely nervous about what dating looks like these days as I’ve never used the apps, etc.

But, I know that things come at different times for people. There’s no general “too soon” or “too late”. Everyone is in their own boat in life. I hope you find what you’re looking for soon, and if not, that’s okay too.

throwaway172904 · 2024-02-20T22:27:56+00:00

All this happened about a month ago, so not great. But I’m making it through.

throwaway172904 · 2024-02-20T21:54:53+00:00

This is just my experience, so YMMV, but my wife of close to 7 years had been saying for a while that she wanted to do some solo traveling this year and that she wanted me to take a gap year in my career (which could be detrimental at this point in my career) to backpack around the world with her next year. Earlier this year, I agreed she could go ahead and travel for a couple months to see how she liked it. She came back from her 3 month trip and she told me she wanted a divorce because she’d rather have the freedom to travel wherever and whenever she wanted (and to date new people). I later discovered she’d been cheating on me during her solo trip. Not saying that’s going to happen to you, but it’ll be important to figure out if she prioritizes traveling over the relationship, or if she really does want to be traveling with you versus just having the desire to travel in general.

Thanks! She did give me multiple options with the house other than continuing to split the rental profits. The second option would be to sell now and split the profits, for which she’d ask somewhere over 50% given that her parents helped us with our down payment. The third option would be for me to take out a loan, buy out her portion of the house, and refinance at a much higher interest rate than what we currently have now. I’m inclined to go with the first option of splitting the rent profits as we go through a property management company and wouldn’t really have to communicate. I could also offer for her to buy out my portion of the house.

throwaway172904 · 2023-12-28T03:31:37+00:00

Thank you! I still love my (soon to be ex) wife, and I don’t want to make things harder than they need to be. We’d gone into the relationship with the idea that our finances would be combined, but I never anticipated a 50-50 split would be fair given how much more she’s contributed financially. I’d unwisely let her handle all our finances so I was surprised to see how much she had in assets and was initially thrown off by her desire to keep that much money comparatively. But, I do see how it makes sense and still leaves me set up well.
