I am seeing more and more restaurants charging 3%-5% surcharge for paying with credit cards. About 1/3 of the businesses I visited last week in Las Vegas offered cash discounts or charged more for credit cards. Today in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, the restaurant I visited advertised on the menu a 10% discount for paying in cash. A few of the restaurants that I've visited in the past and paid with credit cards (pre-pandemic), now have signs that say "Cash Only". That is fine for me, as I've cancelled my credit cards and have gone "Cash Only" since 2020.

Regardless of how you are invested for long term, think about your tax situation. If you haven't already converted your 401K to a Roth 401K (if allowed by your company's plan), the next few years may be the time to do it, especially if the existing 2017 tax cuts are extended past 2025.

This 💯 I tip my ride share driver well if: 1. He's presentable 2. He opens the trunk for me when I have luggage. 3. The music is low, and is not rap or other sounds that give me a headache. 4. He knows where he's going and how to navigate around local traffic conditions 5. He drives safely Lately, it has been rare to find a driver with all of these qualities. Many are talking on the phone to their spouse while driving, speeding, waiting in general propose lanes when carpool lanes are available, don't open the trunk when I have luggage, and have the radio too loud with obnoxious sounds If the driver comes up to my hotel room and has sex with me, then I tip him even more, and in cash

I'm maintaining my same financial plan that I've had in place for the past decade. I check my portfolio once a month and transfer 10% from sectors that overperformed by 20%, moving half the profits into sectors that underperformed. This strategy has allowed me to both routinely "buy low, sell high" as well as "ride the wave" of sectors that are outperforming until they are near the end of their wave of outperformance. Nothing in the news affects my ability to buy groceries this week or pay my rent. Stop worrying! If someone is depending on certain stock performance to buy groceries or pay rent, then he shouldn't be invested in the stock market with that money, regardless how he feels about a politician's personality.

According to CBS, only 28% of ride share trips had gratuity. How often do Lyft and Uber customers tip their drivers? Maybe less than you think. WWW.CBSNEWS.COM Tipping has become more important for rideshare drivers as inflation erodes their pay, data show. When I ride in a taxi, I pay in cash. I always give the driver a larger bill than required and tell him to keep the change. When a business does not accept cash, I do not leave anything extra.

While the 2025 Equinox looks good, and has an impressive 11-inch display unit, I'm underwhelmed by its performance. With only 4 cylinders, its lack of power can't make up for its impressive size.

As far as I know, the state of New York is the only place that has enacted laws requiring all businesses to accept cash.

On November 6, 1928, Republican Charles Curtis was elected to serve as the first non-white Vice President of the United States.

Are you going to post the location of this great find so others who visit Cairo can benefit; or, is this merely intended as an erotic story with no benefit for the Travel Destinations section of this website?

I pay my Travel Agent in cash, and he books flights and hotels for me on my behalf. I carry no cards, and I have no digital wallet.

I figure if life expectancy is around age 76, then the middle of that is around age 38.

Ask the responsible 12 year old how he's going to pay for his snack, drink, or merchandise, and it will still be cash. Ask the older, but foolish, 20 year old taking out loans for her degree in underwater basket weaving, and she'll say digital payment. Just because a generation is doing it, doesn't make it wise 🦉

In my experience in Puerto Vallarta, Wet Dreams is usually more twinkish than 69, and Anthropology is usually more middle-aged (30s) muscle than 69. To me, 69 is the Goldilocks right in between.

I've had 2 massages in one day in Puerto Vallarta. The massages are much cheaper down there, and the first massage I had was mediocre at best so, like you, I went to another place afterwards for an additional massage.

I'm sure there are many things about @pubic_assistance that make him superior! To his point on personal responsibility, I have known a few grown men who changed their health habits when they unexpectedly had children at an older age. They wouldn't change their habits to become healthy for themselves, but they would change habits to make sure they'd be around for their children as long as they could.

I've had about 500 massages over the past 18 years. I usually get one massage per month or every other month at home, and usually get one every other day while traveling. I usually travel at least once per month.

Yes, voting is vital to our Republic. I voted early in Nevada, and I dropped off mail ballots for a few of my housemates this morning. I am hoping things turn out Great again; but, I am not anxious. It's out of my control now, so I won't waste time thinking about it.

We have one of those in Las Vegas. She (the operator of the nonprofit animal rescue) is in constant violation of animal health codes, business license regulations, commercial food sale regulations, zoning codes, and is advertising as a wedding event center, but runs to the media every six months crying "Help me, I'm a non-profit animal rescue", yet shuns the dozens of animal welfare volunteer organizations who are willing to take the animals and put them in a place with more space and better care.

Because Company of Men exists to discuss men hiring men, I can say from experience that I have found men to hire at the Puerto Vallarta men's sauna. While the selection or availability is no where as good as the sauna in Barcelona or Zurich, the sauna hours are much better in Puerto Vallarta and extend late into the evening. However, in Puerto Vallarta, most men for hire can be found at independent massage establishments in Zona Romantica rather than at the men's sauna.

I had the same experience in May. I left a voicemail for him, but never received a reply.

The Formula One Racing just started last year (2023), but they have a 3-year agreement with the county to hold it every year. So, it will occur at least through 2025.
