I was supposed to checkin to my Abnb today for a three night stay and the airport shutdown all day. Its closed on 15th as well. I requested for a refund due to Disruptive events policy with 100% refund. My host wont budge. I told him its too risky to get in and get out and i need to return to work on monday. the abnb was $800. The detour of our trip cost us about $700 in flights just to divert flights as my girlfriend needs to fly back home so was a last minute ticket. the Abnb host doesnt care he just says "i have a small business" will not accept. flying into palermo and back is just not worth the extra haul for 3 nights. any experience on something like this?

inflation is out of contol in sf. the wine and food is too expensive. rents are up again. im noticing less people going out. im now paying $5k per month for 650 sq ft apt. why is everything a scam?

Hey everyone, would appreciate some advice.

I'm planning on establishing residency in South Dakota for tax reasons and plan to use a mail forwarding service there for my official documents and my address in e*trade, vanguard, fidelity, Morgan Stanley.

I'm moving completely out of the U.S. to travel in Europe for a few years. I want to keep my investment accounts and continue to trade. i will keep my US phone number. will use a beryl AX router with VPN.

Has anyone successfully managed location-independent non-US banking under this type of setup? What are the key things to watch out for?

i have a lot of flights. I have united link to my personal gmail calendar. then those get imported to flighty. then i also have export turned on to export to a calendar. But then i see redudant flights. Since i have flights from various airlines including easyjet that i have to manually enter, Is there a way to best manage this so i dont get redundancies? once i see the the flighty export on my calendar, should i delete the gmail one?

if i have 7.2 M net worth (all stocks) at 44 and im about to retire in bangkok half year and spain other have year (DTV visa + EU/US passport). i was reading up on potentially borrowing against my stocks instead of selling and triggering capital gains. has anyone done an SBLOC? any advise? worth doing potentially in a bear market?

does anyone have any experience trying any of these out? will just be solo travel for me and would like a pool and a vibe. im leaning towards el fenn but reading some reviews that its a tourist trap. any advice welcome
