That's unfortunate you had this experience. But you didn't bother to mention which financial institution gave you such a terrible exchange rate. Regardless, you are wrong on both accounts for my situation; I am not a high net worth BoA customer and they gave me the best exchange rate, and no...

My DW and I are currently living in Dublin for her w*rk assignment. We use Barclay's American Airlines and FNBO Amtrak cards for purchases and points, both have no transaction charges. Debit card is always locked. Trying to convince my brother to not use his debit card for purchases (he's...

Not sure how big your company is but you should alert your human rss department. Your boss may be the ostrich with his head in the sand, but your HR department will act on your end date. They'll be the folks who put your exit package together, not your boss.

Consider this, given your description of 1.5" of rain and the size of your back hard shown on your drawing, that event generates close to 8000 gallons of water (excluding your roof drains...). To store that volume you would need a hole 10ft diameter x 16 ft deep. Not very practical. You...

Sorry I didn't read through the entire thread, but I do have recent experience with a total kitchen remodel: demo to studs (and removal of 2 walls, one with a structural beam between kitchen and dining room), new cabinets, oak floor, electrical, plumbing, quartz countertop, and new gas/elec 36"...

We bought an inexpensive countertop MW as a replacement. We realized that we really don't use the MW for more than reheating or melting. So as part of kitchen remodel, the MW is inside a cabinet that sits atop the counter and extends to the ceiling and has pocket doors installed so they're out...

We "had" a high-end LG microwave. Could do anything you ever wanted to do with a microwave. The second time using it, the electronic control system burned out... LG replaced it, which we gave to a friend. What bothered us most was LG wouldn't take the burned out machine back to find out...

Congratulations! I've been FIRE'd 4 years now and also gave my company 6 months notice. I was a Director with a small staff (larger company than yours with 75+-) and they also asked me to write my job description and assist in interviews. They came out of the gate quick and we interviewed two...

A question to the OP: you listed a Fundrise account, how do you like it? I've looked into it, but have also read varying reviews of the platform. I like simplicity investing (3-fund portfolios all around), so have avoided committing. Just wondering your opinion of them?

Sorry, I didn't read through 3 pages of replies, so if I'm repeating someone's earlier comment... three things 1. if it's under warrantee have it serviced 2. If you plan to sell anytime soon, have it serviced so you can show it's been professionally maintained (had to do this when selling...

anothrcog, you should congratulate your parents, tell then I m happy for them because they're doing what they want to do. Then let them know that you want to do what you want to do is retire in 5-7... And do it. My folks were life long union workers with a steady pension and benefits and...

The only person who you should care and be concerned about their opinion is your DH. If the two of you have it firmly in hand that he loves his career and emotionally supports you not having a career and/or work PT, then it is no one else's business how you run your life. My DW works still and...

No tip. At Marriott properties you can defer room cleaning for additional points (if your a Marriott member). We always do this and if we need anything like coffee for the in-room brewer, or a clean towel we just ask the front desk or if we see a cleaning person on the floor.

Without any indication of income (assuming it's from investments) it's hard to suggest any use for the $25k. And with what you've indicated a $100k portfolio, investment income probably isn't enough to cover your planned rent. With that, I'm trying to grasp the intent of financing a $30k...

I'm FIREing in June at 55 and my perspective is that I'm not looking at the future as a linear path. My intention is to start doing what I've wanted to do for years and that will require me getting some additional education. It's not a 2nd career, it's just something different and hopefully...

Replaced an aging and groaning garbage disposal with a modestly priced version from Lowes. The bonus was the new disposal fit right into the old disposals sink connection so I didn't have to mess with making sure it wouldn't leak around the drain. I had planned on a good hour to do the work...

I'm similar to mpierce, online account with Capital One since it was ING. I hold most of my emergency savings in this account and the Bill Pay options work great, from direct payments, email money to an individual and sending paper checks. All at no cost. Over the years, I've held their...

To the OP, I don't own either of the vehicles you were asking about, but DW and I just bought a BMW X3 and love it. The X5 is larger and might fit your desire for a large vehicle.
