We sat on IAH tarmac for 1.5 hours. Flight ended up being canceled. AA EP line had a 2 hour wait. Thank god IAH has an Admirals club. They hooked it up. Flying back on a 7:56 flight that’s 1.5 hours delayed. Win

I'm stuck out of DFW trying to get back. Issues started at 130, so it would have been a pretty early flight.

Debating...should I just bite the bullet and snag a hotel room before all the flights get cancelled. Our inbound plane was diverted to OKC.

ATK1 - if you're not connecting, just rent a car and drive. It's not that far and you have plenty of daylight if you act now

Hi Fishes

What would be the in hand monthly salary of 12lpa?
Thanks in advance.

Under contract for nearly 1.1M. Wife and I are at HHI $315k. Will go up in the future, $400k in 3 years and $500k possible in 5-7 years. We have $300k in non-retirement funds, $260k of which will go towards acquiring the house. We have 2 kids and will probably reduce (not maxing) retirement accounts next 18 months to do this. Anyone have any thoughts or feedback? We’ll have to live on a budget and watch but I feel we’ll get used to it and income will grow.
