re: Replacing Mint budgeting. Need recs

Posted by ShaqTIGAH on 4/12/24 at 11:46 pm
I primarily used Mint to keep tabs on current value of accounts and upcoming bills. Has anyone found a good alternative for that feature? I started using Quicken Simplifi, but I haven't enjoyed it and importing of data from Mint threw everything off. ...

No Kate Middleton Investigation?

Posted by ShaqTIGAH on 3/11/24 at 6:43 pm
Wife (no pics) asked if I had heard of the Kate Middleton conspiracy theories. I had not, so I (of course) immediately came to the OT thinking the OT had already figured it out. What says the OT? According to the [link=(https://www.wsj.com/world/uk/kate-middleton-altered-photo-princess-of-wales-...

AmEx Checking Account

I'm considering enrolling in the new checking account product from AmEx that includes a 1% interest rate and allows you to earn membership reward points on debit card use. Has anyone enrolled or have any experience with the product? Only downside I see is that there is no in-person banking, but my u...

Wife and I wanted to take a trip with no kids for her birthday in September. Settled on Boston. Send us your recommendations on places to stay, things to do, etc. Fly in on a Thursday and the Sox are hosting the Yanks. Will try to make that work, but no plans other than that....

re: Filthiest cities you've visited

Posted by ShaqTIGAH on 12/2/15 at 11:57 am
Rome was the same way. Took the Metro from the airport to the center of the city and thought i had gone to the wrong place once i made it out onto the streets. Trash everywhere, it's like they don't use trash cans. The Vatican was amazing to see and beautiful, but anywhere outside of the Vatican...
