Anyone care to share their luggage delay claim experience with chase and airlines?
My luggage hasn’t came home since my July trip and I have to replace a bunch of stuff inside. Both chase and the airlines have not responded to my previous claims(made during trips for changes of clothes) ….. now the bill is adding up and I don’t know what the max will be with the airlines. (Chase is $300 total but they seem to want to know how much the airline is paying before they pay)

Random question and not sure if this is the right bowl. Went out last night and tipped 20 bucks but messed up in the total (check was for 115, wrote 20 in the tip row, but put 235 as the total; a lot of drinking at this point). Which amount will I get charged? It should be obvious that it was an error - just saw a pic of the receipt I’d taken

Here, I am holding on to some money for my parents in a savings account in India. They don’t exactly have the best relationship with money so I am doing this so that they don’t burn through everything in a month. Do I have to worry about taxes for this money? It’s their retirement savings.

TFW the hotel feels more like home than the home I flew out of after two weeks not traveling 😐

To those who have an HSA and who are able to cap the contributions each year, what account balance would you need in order to not cap the contributions, or to no longer contribute at all? Just to clarify, these dollars are triple tax free, which is beautiful, but can only be spent on qualified medical expenses, so theoretically there’s some point where continuing to contribute toward it or capping the contributions may not make sense

Thinking of starting small with 2500 in betterment. Anyone done something similar? What returns have you seen? Trying to compare to those just starting out in investing

I just started reading up on tbill ladder, and it seems like an interesting (and safe) way to lock in decent, tax advantaged, returns. I already have $20k in ibonds, and was planning to put in another $10k in January to lock in 6% interest for first 6 months, but am wondering if I should use it to start building a tbill ladder instead. Thoughts?

Who else feels like when they go on an interview and mention that they want good WLB it’s an immediate turn-off for the interviewer? Shows how terrible work culture in the US really is.

For those who settled for someone who wasn’t the one, why did you do it?

I was hosting a pretty high level (1 or 2 level below c suite) meeting with a European client and they asked me “oh isn’t today a bank holiday you guys are working today?”.

And, while very obviously working I replied “well we aren’t a bank”. My manager was shocked for like 5 seconds and repeated what I said. Am I in trouble?

Hello Guys
If suppose my fixed is 10L and with variable pay it's 12L, while mentioning my CTC to a future recruiter should I say 12 or 10.

Hello, I am a junior business administrator working in advisory operations. I have been with the company for 6 months, and was employed along with 2 other colleagues. I have picked the job up really fast and am even doing some “extra curricula’s” I really love my job. However I have recently found out I am being paid the same as an apprentice on my team, I usually do at 3 x the work he does whilst also doing my Cert CII. It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money

Is anyone else concerned about the direction the automotive world is heading in, and the overall bigger impact to society when no one can afford to own/have a car? I feel like there’s a perfect storm brewing and with the help of Covid and chip shortages and senseless forced adoption of EVs, in a few years common ppl won’t be able to afford a car and even those in upper income classes will be hard pressed. And when people can’t travel freely on their own, that will have downstream FX on society

After m7 what are the three that round out the top 10?

Are those three programs closer in reputation to programs 11-15 or m7?
