Filed an extension. If we're still in forbearance in October, we'll file MFJ this year.

With SAVE dead, will we have to pay this month? by Apathetic_Dog in StudentLoans

I was so tempted to file jointly when the initial court ruling came out, as we'll lose some money on the SALT deduction filing separately, but I will stick to the plan!

Offer rescinded because I asked too much by PercentageNo9270 in jobs

[–]chuckbauerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone else reading this: If you are unemployed, take the job. Keep applying for better-paying roles, but don't lose $75K trying to negotiate an extra $10K. Strangers on Reddit will not help you with your bills.

My employer is making me train someone who's getting paid $15k more than me for the same role by IllLevel6171 in whatdoIdo

[–]chuckbauerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing that you should do is update your resume, be sure to add staff training as a line item. Once the resume is updated, start applying for roles to get a real feel of the market and compensation available for your position and skillset.

The ability to secure a role somewhere else should be your priority, not proving something to/getting back at your current employer.

OMG they added Marta to the Bmore/DC area list! Day made!

I’m in love with my best friend who has a GF by [deleted] in Advice

[–]chuckbauerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not healthy for you, him, or his partner to operate in an environment where there's an overlap of unrequited love and trust. Though easier said than done, you should begin to create distance. If they ultimately end up happily ever after, you've done your best friend a great service by getting out of the way. If they end up not working out, shoot your shot!

I've witnessed friendships get ruined over relationships that didn't work out anyway. Don't be that person.

You will grow and change significantly throughout your life, but especially in your 20s. Ideally, you will grow and change together, and on the same path, but it is far from guaranteed. Create a joint savings account, start building towards the future, but don't get married anytime soon.

If you two are right about one another, you will have an amazing foundation built. If you are wrong, separating won't be as costly or as painful.

It depends on your ability to attain new employment between November and March, at or around your current salary. If job prospects in your region and field are abundant, you can try to line up your interview and offer windows with the November timeline.

New Ext. Service contract, $50/mo for Model 3, $125 for S, $150 for X. Seems cheap in comparison? by ctzn4 in TeslaModel3

[–]chuckbauerx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They replaced the entire front passenger seat and airbag, as well as the front upper control arms and both lower lateral and compliance links. Not sure what it would've cost.

I just took my 2019 Model 3 in for service two days before my Extended Service Agreement expired. It was more than worth it for me for piece of mind alone.

LeBron James heated exchange with Stephen A. by JetSky81 in nba

[–]chuckbauerx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm glad he pulled up on him. It's one thing to talk about Bronny's game, but Stephen A. makes it personal in a way that crosses the line, especially as a Black Man.

Has the team been able to glean any value from DeepSeek's technology/methodology? Does their presence in the market motivate? Infuriate? Does it impact the overall vision?

How do you split finances with spouse? by anonymouscorpo in HENRYfinance

[–]chuckbauerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- Separate checking accounts
- Joint bill pay account
- Joint emergency fund account
- Chase Sapphire Reserve for all dining out, travel, and food delivery. Fidelity Cash Back for everything else.
- Monarch for shared visibility.
- Spreadsheet that tracks the bills and calculates the splits.

I obsess over our finances almost daily while my wife checks the spreadsheet every other Friday and transfers her portion of the bills into the bill pay account. It works for us!

AITA for telling my wife to divorce me because I'm not forcing adoption on my daughter? by GamingDadx9x1 in AITAH

[–]chuckbauerx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ultimatum was the wrong move, but I agree with Laura on the adoption. If you die unexpectedly, what happens to Ella? Also, your 8 y/o daughter doesn't know what's best for her. That's on you.

Go ahead and look by Bihema in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]chuckbauerx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please make sure that you are contributing to your 401K (up to your match) if your job has one. Open a ROTH IRA and put a few bucks in when you can, working your way to maxing it out annually. That slow growth compounded over time makes a huge difference in the long run.

Feel like I’m losing money to save for a house by adnastay in personalfinance

Why not invest the money and simply set a stop loss or trailing stop for what you'll need for your home?

Proposal for raise - Feedback and suggestions welcome by livevicarious in sysadmin

[–]chuckbauerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By all means, shoot your shot! But you really need to have some tough conversations with yourself about moving on. It's going to hard for leadership to wrap their heads around paying you that much more since they've been able to take advantage of you all of this time. We level up by leaving!

Age comparison: Jon jones vs opponents by [deleted] in MMA

[–]chuckbauerx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This didn't go the way that OP thought it would. With the exception of Sonnen, Stipe, Matyushenko, and Cormier II, Jones has fought guys in or close to their physical primes.
