Hey everyone, a bit unorthodox, but if anyone is traveling to Sri Lanka and needs LKR, i’m willing convert for physical USD. Our currency is a bit volatile etc right now so, if interested please PM or leave a comment! TIA (Also free travel advice haha)

Hey, I live in Colombo, so if you were to come this side I can visit you at the hotel lobby or where ever you’re comfortable with. Also I can withdraw from the hotel ATM

Given the volatility in the last week with the depreciation, it would seem somewhat risky and unnecessary to convert to LKR in advance of a trip. I would think a tourist would benefit more from converting while there? Maybe OP can clarify.

M1, I believe because the previous rate was fixed at a worse rate, use of ATMs would lead to poor conversion rates and black market rates were better due to currency controls. That discrepancy should be less wide now.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

Advice and tips for a first time rental property investor?

I am 24 saving up for my first property to purchase at the end of 2021 / early 2022 in the Long Island, NY area.

I’d like to save up around $50K in my HYSA for a property <$400K in LI. Does this sound reasonable?

Does anyone have any advice on investing in the LI area (best location, SFH v MFH) or just general first time rental property buying advice?

Thanks all
