On the bright side...you got some exercise, B and C are really not that far (compared to F), you got $200, and you got home. Welcome to Thursday.

If that’s horrible for you, you had a really relaxing flight life so far. Congrats

Lol.. i guess I have.

There were 10 others in line and the airplane had only one seat left. They randomly chose one and the airplane left the gate. I had to walk from B to C and back because of this. Finally after a 4 hour ordeal, i got into the same flight which was delayed because of mechanical issues and flew back home. United gave me $200 after couple of to and fro emails. Is it worth it or should i ask for more?

What’s your status?

Platinum

For anyone that moved to the US a bit later in life (early 30s), do you feel like you are financially behind retirement now by United States standards?

My home country offers free health care, education, affordable living etc and now i’m in the US the only way I think I’ll ever catch up for retirement is by making Partner salary one day but still living like I’m on a Manager salary to save.

Plus on a visa we cannot have other income. This is going to be a long game of catch up.
