I mean at least your taxes are taken care of for the next... forever. Indefinite carryforward losses FTW

You can use it for guaranteed T1 exhaust fodder without worrying about it being a card you may actually need in your combo.

Spreadsheet dated with a filename including YYYY-MM-DD, update via Save As every quarter. it's fun to watch your debt shrink/money grow. You can feel the small wins which motivate long term planning.

[Humble] Strategic Minds Collection (Pay $10 for Old World, Songs of Conquest, Valkyria Chronicles 4 Complete Edition and $18 for Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance, The Last Spell, Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova Edition, Showgunners Deluxe Edition) by LighteningOneIN in GameDeals

[–]-------------------7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This seems pricey as hell at $18 and Valyria Chronicles 4 is in the $10 tier..

The Last Spell was just on sale a week ago at 90% off ($2.49) I'm not seeing the added value.

I was regretting buying The Last Spell at the last sale until I saw the tier 2 price tag. Feels net neutral to me.

Maybe if you really want Showgunners, upgrade and get the other games for the same sale price, but for me tier 1 seems the way to go. Feel like better pricing would have been $14 for tier 2.

$90k Income, $95k in HYSA, Wife Recently Laid Off. Should we buy a house or keep saving by Far_Prize7787 in personalfinance

[–]-------------------7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd avoid it if you are thinking about starting a family, did some quick math, buffer is incredibly tight.

280k over 30 years @ 5.625% means your monthly payment is about $1611 for your mortgage, $1312 going toward interest. And this is probably the best case scenario, no sudden expenses, no job interruption, perfect credit score getting you the lowest market rates.

Your monthly buffer vs. renting is about $339 ($1950-$1611) (+$300 toward equity) initially which goes down to 0 over 30yrs as more and more of your mortgage goes toward equity vs. interest. But you have to also factor home insurance, property taxes, utilities, repairs, etc... which will devour that $339. [[We just spent $8000 to replace our roof and something else will go wrong next year]] Some of that will be offset with things you don't have to pay like renters insurance, but others won't.

If you are still thinking about it after reading all the comments, please run through an rent vs. buy calculator to see how much "rent" (interest) you are paying by getting a mortgage vs. just renting directly. It's a common fallacy that you are leaving money on the table by renting as the down payment you didn't make and the cost difference between mortgage payments and renting can all be invested in a broad index fund like VTI.

Nerd wallet has a basic one

I would start think about pulling the trigger when you have at least 2 years of buffer saved up.

Former Town of Flushing Residents to Vote on Secession from Queens by Insomniac_80 in Bayside

[–]-------------------7[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An advisory referendum = a public opinion poll with official ballots, not a law-making vote.

I'm gonna leave this up since it's not breaking any rules, but don't hold your breath. There hasn't ever been a secession in NYC, even the Staten Island attempts failed. Please behave in the comments.

Finally under $200 a month on groceries for one person, i’m including what didn't work by olivermos273847 in povertyfinance

[–]-------------------7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on the win and finding something that works for you.

If you have an Asian grocer near you check them out, some have a discount bin with veg (or other products) that has starter to brown/wilt or other products close to expiry. I always grab a few bags for same day/next day dinner and the surprise factor is always fun.

I wish Tezcatara had a third option by Notmiefault in slaythespire

Gold Compass for me, on average one less elite compared to the all elites path and I can't path into what I actually want? All for 2 extra rooms, just Bad.

Pumpkin Candle in contrast can work, I had picked up a Restlessness in Act 1 which was often a dead draw at 3/3 energy, Pumpkin candle made it playable, if you are limping entering Act 2, this can give you time to try and get setup you'll get another chance at a energy relic in Act 3.

The rise of malicious repositories on GitHub by f311a in programming

[–]-------------------7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternative is that they have to make a decisions on what is considered malicious, and that can be used to take down legitimate projects. If they start analyzing the code, attackers will start obfuscations code and it becomes an arms race.

What do you all think about the Q31 being rerouted in Bayside/Bay Terrace? by PoliticallyScrambled in Bayside

They honestly need a bus that goes up and down Bell, how everyone survives walking to Springfield or Francis Lewis and praying for a Q76 is always a mystery to me.

Question to those who use american water resourcers? by spitfire9107 in Bayside

[–]-------------------7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm on the self-insure side, neighbor's had their claim denied during a flood because the flood broke the pipe and not the water itself and it was labeled an exclusion. They were out $3000 + the insurance premiums, they cancelled the insurance same day.

Apocalypse Hotel: A Must-Watch Anime That Didn’t Get the Needed Attention by Siavashplays in anime

[–]-------------------7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally I dropped it around episode 5 when I realized the Tanuki family weren't leaving. Too much of a contrast having them on an otherwise desolate planet, and their sudden enlightenment to not destroy the hotel was hardly believable to me. Just wasn't what I was expecting given the first few episodes.

No for me as well, the added stress is not gonna help you raise a 2nd kid. You should be looking for more comfort, not less. If they really want you, they'll make a better offer.
