If she's passionate about being a practicing lawyer, she should go to the best law school she can get into, in the best job market, without heavily factoring loans/costs (within reason). If she's not sure what she wants to do but thinks a law degree is a good base education (which it is), then ...

Stay at The Crescent. Eat at Don Artemio’s. Night cap at Eddie V’s or Crescent bar. All easily walkable and reasonably walkable to dickies arena. Also check out Bowie House and their restaurant if that’s more your vibe. ...
Today I googled ride time between the new airport and my favorite hotel in Tulum... 55 minutes. That's about 20 minutes shorter than Cancun, at I'm guessing a 2x price. They need to cut a road from the hotel area of Tulum to the highway leading to the airport. Should knock off 30 minutes. ...
They invest in individual stocks to mimic the S&P, but gives them more control to cut out the downward moving stocks along the way and reenter at lower basis. They do have a healthy chunk ~5% in SPY though. No funds from what I can tell. ...
Fidelity called me a couple years ago when my brokerage account was growing and asked if I wanted to move into a professionally managed account with a tax loss harvesting strategy. I’ve been in it 3 years now and am pretty happy. They model the SP500 with individual holdings and cut out the losers b...

Make sure to get an early reservation for hibachi. We didn't have one when we showed up, and were told there were no openings. A sizeable tip changed that, but you should be able to book a spot early enough out. ...
We went last year, mostly based on glowing comments and reviews seen on this board. We did excellence club, etc. and what we learned is that my wife and I are not all-inclusive resort people. If you know you like A-I resorts, then I'm sure this one is as great as any. It was pretty and maintained de...
I've fought the good fight on this one since 2017, but I am getting very close to done here. Accumulated plenty of shares in the $5-6 range, then got greedy and spoiled my basis on the run up into the $20s. Will sting to sell, but the loss would've been recouped if my money had been in the market th...

Used to hunt some around Fairfield. Had a lot of deer and decent size, but smaller than west and south Texas. ...
Just by signing up for one of the rewards clubs (MLife, Ceasars, Grazie, Club One, etc.) should net you 10-20% discount at checkout. If you have a chance to play some with your card, the next time you go, you should get offers and discounts. ...
Fingers crossed. With Iran being essentially third world and likely not to care about work conditions, they may be able to produce cheap as well. Has a crude oil of the 1950s feel to it. ...
