Ord. It's closer if you don't live in the Southside (which I'm assuming most consultants don't). Plus, more options than southwest (which I'm assuming most consultants don't fly).

Obviously MDW...ORD is a disaster getting to and from the city. No matter where you live downtown you can jump on lakeshore drive to 55 and get to midway faster than you can get to ohare via I90 or 290. I’ve flown American and delta (in addition to southwest) out of midway, so it’s not just limited to SW. Also doesn’t require you having to take the L on Thursday’s like most people have to do on the way back from ORD unless they want to sit in traffic for 1.5 hours. It’s not even close, MDW is a million times better if you have the option to fly out from there.

like

ORD... many more flight options and the traffic is only bad on Thursday night. If you leave early on Monday morning you can be at ORD in 20 minutes from downtown

ORD is the best

If you don’t want to deal with Morning travel then MDW.. if you want more flight options then ORD. Personally if The traffic wasn’t that horrific to ORD I would pick that in a heart beat

like

@D3 - American has 0 flights out of MDW

like

D3, 3 questions.
1. Are you trying to imply there are just as many American & Delta flights out of mdw? Bc that's not even remotely close to bring true.
2. Do you live closer to mdw?
3. Do you normally fly southwest?

like

ORD is one of the worst airports I have flown out of.. yet it beats MDW due to flight options. If you have good options from MDW, definitely do it

ORD only because I sold my soul to united

ORD. Traffic to MDW starts way too early, little food options, and largely Southwest flights. ORD isnt great, but still beats MDW.

MDW half the traffic

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

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.

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>
