LPT: If you were working toward Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) but stopped, go back and check your eligible payments. There may be more than you expect.

I figured it was going to be at least another 5 years and I eventually decided it wasn’t worth it and moved on to the private sector. I recently checked my eligible payments again and had WAY more than I expected: payments durin…

LPT – Check your car warranty periodically to make sure that you’re informed about any “secret warranties” issued by your car’s manufacturer. A secret warranty is a way manufacturers avoid recalls.

Secret warranties are for common defects that could cause recalls. Manufacturers call them warranty adjustments…

I have a hard-case(yet flexible) Amazon basics suitcase that is large and will be used as a check-in bag. I want to give my friend a selection box of chocolates that will be 30 pieces. If I wrap them in bubble wrap do you think they’ll be protected enough during the flight and won’t be smashed? The chocolates will be too big to put into my carr…

Emirates self-check-in doesn’t weigh your carry on Correct me if i’m wrong. I flew back to my country 8 months ago and i remember self-check-in machines only weighed the “check-in baggages” and not the carry ons (7kg). Is it still the same until now? If yes, then i’d love to exceed from 7kg to at least 10 or 11 then. submitted by /u/Any-Bus6741
