Any Cost saving tips for Las Vegas?

Situation:
You’ve been accepted to an Ivy League 2 year premed program (Harvard, Columbia, UPenn) costing 20k per semester. Currently, you have no student debt, only went to state school for undergrad, and strongly dislike the work you’ve been pigeon-holed into at 2YOE (risk). You have also decided to prob not become a doctor although being interested in the sciences.
Would you still attend the program? Would it help with MBA/other program? Chances of successfully recruiting out if not for u?

Anyone with United 1k in jeopardy of not meeting the lowered “move the goalpost” PQP targets? Is there a December promotion or do you think United will pivot to extend status to 2023 in the final hour? Ugh, I don’t want lose 1k but can’t justify ~$5,000 in out of pocket expenses / mileage run. Anyone in the same boat?

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years? I will make a little money interning in the summer, so that would be a safety valve if I blow through the 20k.

Or… should I take a small loan?

What are the best iOS platforms to trade digital currencies? I am US based and am a bit more sophisticated in terms of Order Entry, etc. Coinbase seems pretty basic, since they only allow you to be a price taker and not set orders to buy/sell at specified prices

Mega backdoor question - I wanted to take advantage of this while it still existed so I contributed to after tax 401k the last few paychecks. Is the correct process to do a withdrawal/rollover directly to my Roth IRA account? It seems like I can do a direct deposit from the 401k but it is asking if this is a checking or savings account which seems wrong.

I have been trying to get OUT of the construction industry for years, but I can’t afford to pay living expenses if I were to go back to school. How do people go back to school later in life with no savings???

Hey - Might be moving from Florida to Illinois. Is there any way I can avoid changing residency and IL income tax? Realistically, will I be audited?

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

Hi All,

Need help. I have recently joined a company and working for a banking client. We have product owner from client side and I am the offshore BA.

The product owner does not assign any work to me directly,inspite of asking repeatedly. What should I do in this scenario?

Hi! I need some help negotiating a raise. I have been working for this company for exactly 3 months now, but I was hired as an AGM. I'm not specific on what my responsibilities are as AGM.
However the GM at the time, quit 1 and a half months in. I was thrown into the role and have been handling it since.
My regional calls himself our GM but is never on site.
Was reluctant to cover my shifts when I became sick and requested time off for a few days. (4 days)
Any thoughts?

I have a week of unplanned travel in Europe in like two weeks (sticking to Europe as my flight home is out of Amsterdam). Any recs or what you’d do in Europe for a week?

Which rooftops in Paris have the best views of the Eiffel Tower and/or Paris overall?

It’s been asked before whether it’s worth it to pay (~$150) to upgrade a 3 hr flight. I generally agree it is not. But what if your two tweenagers bicker nonstop and are complete and total jerks to you all the time and your spouse chooses the “they’ll grow out of it” approach to things so basically you just want 3 hours of alone time. Then is it worth it?

(Note, in this scenario, they are all entirely too naive to realize it isn’t a system comped upgrade.)

Anyone have suggestions for food/things to do in Albuquerque? Headed there in a few weeks for a project and don’t know much about it.
