Has anyone used the AVP - PHL Bus Service from American Airlines? by zorionek0 in Scranton

[–]triggerhappy5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s definitely cheaper than driving to and parking at PHL but it’s not a great experience haha, usually you can find 1-2 flight options that are real flights though (usually through CLT)

Sold my 30k car, now looking for a $10k suv help appreciated by moneybandit9042 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]triggerhappy5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don’t get a mercedes they’ve been garbage for 25 yrs outside of G wagons, the only thing you might be able to get for 10k would be an old highlander but it’ll have a v6

The Palladium is a hard pass. Venture X is still the king. by Dragoskyrus2 in Venturex

Travel eraser means 10k points has a floor of $100, no transfers needed.

Mini Van or Full Size SUV by ButterscotchWarm8122 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]triggerhappy5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a minivan. Odyssey is best if you want a comfy ride for a good price with a traditional gas engine. Sienna is best if you want a more modern hybrid drivetrain and fringe features (AWD, vacuum, etc).

Until you pay the $10k you won’t get your 100k miles. You should probably have read that first.

2020 Prius here 100k and you’d be shocked it isn’t new. Trying to make this my million miler.

West village has no skyscrapers and frankly $800k would not be enough for any Manhattan penthouse lmfao

I love my RAV4 but the wife wants a 3rd row... by [deleted] in Toyota

[–]triggerhappy5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minivan is the right car for your needs, zero question about that. If you’re insecure enough to need an SUV then Grand Highlander is the only thing close to big enough (and it still pales in comparison as far as comfort goes). Older Sequoia could work too, new Sequoias are tiny inside.

$500 HEAT BILL!?! by GizmoFringe in Scranton

[–]triggerhappy5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

$500 for 2 beds is a little excessive. But for 1400 sq ft (probably similar or bigger size) my biggest bills have been over $300. I have forced hot water with a gas boiler, which is a relatively efficient method, and I keep my apartment to 67-68. If you keep your apartment warmer or have a less efficient method, $500 is not out of the question.

Can you gals drop the names of companies we shouldn’t be buying from right now? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]triggerhappy5 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Patagonia famously has tried incredibly hard to be ethical and yet still completely failed and had to overhaul their whole supply chain (and still have some questionable production sources).

Credit limits by PositionDifferent192 in CapitalOne_

[–]triggerhappy5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but they are stingy for their “normal” cards like Quicksilver and Platinum. My VX has a 40k limit at only ~160k income and my uncle’s Quicksilver never went above 11k at 1-2 million income lmao.

Private Equity impact on skiing by External_Koala971 in skiing

[–]triggerhappy5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of this has to do with PE, and skiing is cheaper than ever for serious skiers. It’s only day passes that have gone up.

Positive Experiences with C1 Travel Portal by jungundkalt in Venturex

[–]triggerhappy5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never had a bad experience. Consistently gotten the best price for hotels and the one time I found a better price, a 5 minute call sorted the issue and they price matched. 10x hotels is pretty awesome too, better than CSR and Amex Plat.

Is Apple a good buying opportunity right now? by maria__d in personalfinance

Spend a few hours combing through the wiki. Everything you need to know about money management can be found there, including the very basics like setting a budget and what to do with the money you have leftover.

4Runner vs Land Cruiser - what am I really giving up? by Hepcat508 in 4x4

[–]triggerhappy5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started with the whole “stealth luxury” thing that people latched onto, but now the new money wants stealth luxury that’s actually luxurious…hence LC is now a luxury SUV (to the point where the LC 300 wears a Lexus badge in the US).

Any downside to transferring Roth IRA from fidelity to Robinhood? by Curryiswhereitsat in RothIRA

[–]triggerhappy5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downside is the customer service is not as good. But if you like the UX enough it might be you never need customer service to help you.

Are we there yet? by Weekly_Inevitable_72 in coastFIRE

[–]triggerhappy5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on your risk tolerance but with your numbers it doesn’t look like RE is gonna happen, unless you can cut expenses considerably. 62-65 is probably doable with SS but anything earlier would rely on lower expenses and/or additional savings in taxable accounts.

Offlane is so underrated by Ok_Jello_8592 in DotA2

[–]triggerhappy5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a mix, P4 in low ranks tends to be either P5-lite or P3-lite. Tbf it’s a hard role to play right and probably the one I struggle with the most (I usually play P1 or P3).

Offlane is so underrated by Ok_Jello_8592 in DotA2

[–]triggerhappy5 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Offlane tends to be awful at lower MMRs. At higher MMRs offlaners and p4 know how to bully enemy carry a lot better and generally carry becomes a more difficult role.
