    Crypto.  Send XLM or ETH.  XLM is faster/cheaper these days.

    lonely_john reacted to + DynamicUno in CANCEL FLIGHT   
    It depends on the airline's cancellation policy and the type of ticket you purchase.  Since the pandemic, most of the US domestic airlines have become much more forgiving for flight changes and cancellations, and have eliminated some of the fees.
    The general rule of thumb for US carriers is you can cancel for a refund within 24 hours of purchase if it's not a last minute purchase.  After that, if you have a non-refundable ticket, you can usually only get credit towards a future flight.  The big three US airlines will have refundable and non-refundable fares at all cabin classes, the refundable fares are generally more expensive.   If you have any doubt how to book your preferred type of fare, it might be a good idea to use an agent.
     
    Always consult your airline's policy page if this is a major concern.

    Yes.
    And depending on the fare class and airline, it will either be fully refunded or can be used as a credit for future flying (usually with a one year expiration).
    Make sure to save your TICKET NUMBER (not the confirmation number).  That's the unique identifier that the airline uses to see the credit.

    I forgot the added possibility of being added to a spouse's health insurance if one is married. Long before same sex marriage was legal, my own employer's group health insurance allowed one to add an official "domestic  partner" to the plan, but my partner's plan did not allow that.

    Oh, I so relate to this . . . but have become accustomed to DINK status. In reality, I probably could afford the same standard of living alone, but there is much truth in the song "breaking up is hard to do." And there are the children to consider . . . okay, the dogs, but still. It's strange to me how so many people pair up and get married and remarried multiple times. Seems so exhausting.

    @Charlie, as fellow Californians my younger brother and his partner of 25 years surprised us (pleasant surprise) by getting married recently. Everything you mention above were considerations for them - but they also both have large pension plans, and with legal marriage they can get the pension benefits if their spouse pre-deceases one or the other.

    In CA, community property laws make it easier for married couples to combine financial affairs, and to file taxes jointly if they wish. It is easier for spouses to manage one another's health issues. In emergencies, one doesn't have to obtain legal permission to take responsibility for one another. Although it would not be the case in our relationship, I have known a case in which the family of a deceased gay man evicted his long time partner from the couple's home and banned him from the funeral. Even in something as simple as the purchase of a home or car, the question of joint ownership isn't questioned and doesn't need to be explained or justified.
    And then there is the issue of alimony in the event of a divorce😁

    Not sure about all of the other services, but I think a lot of them allow the recipient to just pick up cash at a place near them (assuming the service is available in their area).  My recipient just had to show his ID and the confirmation number at a Walmart near him and was able to pick up cash there.

    In those men who don't need Viagra to get an erection, taking it will definitely make them last longer and recover faster for a 2nd and 3rd round. Don't ask me how I know. 🙈

    Is always nice having the choice to marry instead of simply not having it. 
    No doubt gay men also divorce other gay men but they also get rights: green card, taxes, etc. Besides is nice NOT being a second class citizen.

    I never really understood why some gays were so eager to marry.  I always rather admired their freedoms, free of that other person ( or persons - to those of us with children ) who we must constantly consider, and factor in to every move of every day of our lives. 
    Now that it's several years into gay marriage rights, it seems the reality is creeping in.
    A close friend who's a lawyer says the gay divorce business is an enormous and growing market for the legal field.

    I sent money to someone in Mexico a few times last year.  I used Xoom, mostly because it's part of PayPal so it was easier for me to transfer funds since I already had an account set up.  I also looked into using Ria and xe.com; not even sure if I was aware of Remitly.  I wasn't sending a huge amount of money so I wasn't too concerned about fees or exchange rates (plus I was just sending a gift of a certain U.S. dollar amount, so the fees just impacted how many pesos the recipient got), though I did look at that information and my memory is that there wasn't a huge difference.  Looking right now, though, Remitly is offering a higher exchange rate for Mexico as a promotion for new customers, so if I were making another transfer today I'd probably choose them.
