Do airline weigh carry ons? Flying mostly TAP and Iberia. Airlines say 10kg but I’m packing right now and my bag is half empty

I saw this hack of stuffing a neck pillow with items if you want to move some weight. 😅

Yes. We flew TAP a few times in august (to & from the US and then within Europe a bit). Even having booked first class on the flight to/from Portugal and the US, they weighed our carryons in the connecting flights once in Europe even thought they saw our first class ticket. One time of 4 they let it slide, but the other times, we had to move stuff around to get under the limit. They charge 80euro in line at the gate if your bag is overweight.

EM1, they do - I was just at Lisbon in August of this year and had our carryons weighed on our next flight within Europe (to Germany). The scale is mobile and on wheels so able to be moved. Why would I make that up? I have no skin in this game.

Usually not but sometimes

If it’s huge they’ll check it in the carryon size basket they have, but I’ve never seen them weigh it

They might check for size (unlikely though for any of those), but not for weight except if it looks super oversized

Depends on the airline but some do! Check their website

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts? I started contributing >20 years ago to my employer's Roth 401k and have rolled it over to a Roth IRA and moved it between multiple custodians, e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, UBS, Personal Capital, etc. It is unclear to me how much I contributed vs how much I earned by investing it.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
