    Has Wal-Mart ever managed your order like this?

    It’s like an Amazon delivery. You don’t tip those. Or when Best Buy delivers by Geek Squad or Roadie.

    What does “financially stable” mean to you?

    Financial stability for me is not worrying about bills. Of course this means living below our means but not in a way where we’re going without. We are in a good position because of some luck and some tragedy. Kids both have good college funds because my BIL and SIL passed from COVID...

    Part time remote jobs

    Yeah, who is going to pay you for writing letters for them in this day and age. Depending on your skills with working with AI you can get some very good letters with minimal effort. And Ai can write pretty much unlimited letters.

    Nielsen rating offer

    Lol, I made the mistake of filling out one a few years back. They then decided my address was the place for them to put in a box to collect data. Every few months someone would drive to my house and try to convince me to become a ‘Nielsen family.’ It took like 3 years before they finally gave...

    Yes, the posting date really matters with Chase. Never wait until the last day. Make sure you buy a few days before so the charge posts (not just the initial temp charge).

    Canceling a genie+ question

    You can cancel and rebook as long as the window for return hasn’t passed/expired. So if you got a 8:15-9:15 return, you need to change the LL to something else before 9:15. I will say that we are usually resort guests and go on FOP first. Then by the time we get off it’s usually close to...

    How many park days?

    I would definitely skip the park hoppers and use that towards an ILL. Especially if you are rope dropping so you can skip waiting for some of the rides that have a habit of not starting on time (Seven Dwarves has this issue). For example this morning started at 7:30 with early hours but...

    How many park days?

    We have kept the same schedule since our kids were little (they are teens now). We rope drop and then head back to the room by 2ish. Relax for 2 hours then go to the pool and then go to dinner. We do get Genie + for most parks and some ILLs to cram as much possible for time we are there. This...

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    My kids have grown out of the character meets. Although the older one would be up for meeting Ducktales characters or Phineas and Ferb. Both my girls eat more than me though; both are already taller than me (and I’m not short at 5’7”). We got back from dinner and within a half hour they...

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    I got $10 for $70. Bought $75 in Disney GCs because we’re here now and I forgot how expensive some dining can be. I don’t think I have enough in GCs for the Genie+, Lighting lanes and dining. We had dinner at Flying Fish and the bill made my eyes water. Having 2 kids that are Disney ‘adults’...

    YMMV - My Best Buy plus and My Best Buy Total members look for an email from My Best Buy memberships - mine was titled ‘Tech recycling made easy, plus check out your member deals.’ It has an offer to get a $5 Best Buy certificate if you download the app and login.

    Yeah, lots. I guess I just never think about how he’s an expert at his job - he has multiple patents and wrote a book (self published and he paid to have one of Barney’s VAs record the audiobook, so no, he hasn’t made money off it). It is the right time to leave his current company, he’s been...

    Use a different browser. Try Brave. Some sites crash for me on my iPad because of ads so I use Brave to access them and no problems.

    Mine was just told he needs to fly out 26-28. He’s been interviewing this week (he thinks he has a good chance at this opening, pretty much is a perfect fit for his experience with AI), so the trip would be a waste for him, but of course he can’t say anything until he has the offer in hand.

    Yes I saw them at my location a while back. I was looking for a storage solution for all the tools and nuts, bolts and screws we have collected. No dice on that though. I need to buy a non-Teflon frying pan for our trip in April. We cook in the villa quite a bit and the one Disney provides...

    And also since the rewards work as a coupon in the system, use them on items that would be taxed by your state. That results in you saving the amount of the reward + what tax you would’ve paid on that amount. For instance if you have $10 in circle rewards and your tax is 10% you end up saving $11.

    Why do people take on so much debt?

    College is crazy expensive. The cost for a year at the state university I went to is what I paid for all 4 years! And that’s just tuition, not the cost of living on campus. My husband keeps bringing up his school as a choice for our older daughter, but 1 year there costs way more than 4 years...

    I mean it’s not like someone is doling out bonuses. They wrote an AI program and due to machine learning, it has taught itself the best shoppers to give bonuses to. I won’t claim to be an expert on AI, my husband is though, so I know some of it through osmosis.
