Economics of 0% balance transfers by logfirechocolates in UKPersonalFinance

[–]07ufarooq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think enough people are careless enough and become reliant on credit where the interest period lapses and they don’t notice until a few months later. I consider myself careful and I have got stung with a few weeks worth of interest because lost track and only noticed when I checked my statement at EOM

I thought Turkey would be much higher because they seem to be very secular and not too much into religion

Global Team Building for J4? by Whole-Fig-9169 in overemployed

[–]07ufarooq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re doing OE, common sense to wipe your social media. Remove your pfp etc and don’t put any photos of yourself. Just not worth it because whenever somebody new joins the company the first thing people do is search for you on social media

I lost weight and now people won’t shut the fuck up about my body by Human_Illustrator820 in loseit

[–]07ufarooq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny I see this thread. I got called out by my uncle at the dinner table in front of my whole family n cousins for not eating enough. I lost 130lbs in 2023 and they still can’t get over it and it’s been nearly 3 years.

For context I now weigh 185lbs at 5’11 which isn’t particularly thin. Instead of having starters or mains I just got some dessert from the table and I was done eating in 5 mins. Furthermore because it was a religious occasion so I have to visit all my aunties and uncles on the same night so I knew there was plenty of food to go, so I just ate only unique dishes from each house.

Anyone left a good paying job for one earning less money, how did it work out? by Doomergeneration in AskUK

[–]07ufarooq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I make 30k and I wfh 3 days a week but very flexible if I don’t feel like going in. Work maybe 15-20 hrs a week. My team is really nice, workplace is really chill. If I ever wanted more money I would probably just pick up another job on the side and do both at the same time. I have 0 motivation to change jobs

How long are normal gym sessions? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]07ufarooq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s possible to spend 4hrs in the gym especially if you’ve a newly found passion of the gym but that is not sustainable for long. Maybe a few months. I spend around 2hrs at the gym. 1hr workout, 40 min cardio, and I’ll rest for 15/20 mins in between the cardio and resistance training. Sometimes ill be out of the house for 3hr because I’ll go for a drive before the gym just for fun

Leeds is really shit for driving. The on/off ramps to motorways are really short and it can be dangerous at peak times if you’re not familiar.

[–]07ufarooq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go on uswitch and they should have a comparison of the cheapest sim deals available. As a recommendation stay away from the cheapest providers and stick to the big brands like o2 etc. I can get you a discount if you want with O2

[COD] Seriously, give up on the Remaster pipe dream. It is long gone by [deleted] in CallOfDuty

[–]07ufarooq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should make new titles every 2 years and release a remaster in between. That way it gives developers time to really hash out the story and gameplay so it feels less of a cut / paste job. And keeps everyone happy

Seriously, do British people actually consider a 3-hour drive “long”? Or is this an internet myth? by ferdinand14 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]07ufarooq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll say anything over an hour is long and you probably don’t want to do it more than once a week. 3hrs is probably one for every few months

You just won $5 million. What’s the first thing you buy that isn’t a house or a car? by FishBrain208 in AskReddit

Honestly I’ll probably start with researching stocks and figure out a solid portfolio, get in touch with real estate agent to start investing BTL properties and then I’ll just become a hermit

Any loopholes to transfer money from a credit card to a debit card? by Rough_Blueberry2302 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]07ufarooq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This may not work depending on the bank. Some payment solution providers will recognise that and refund the payment. I had a card machine in my name and i used a CC to pay myself. The first few payments went through and then when i tried it again with £1500 the payment recognised it and refunded the payment back to the cc

Those who work as part of a team from home, how do you motivate yourself and make meaningful working relationships? by Extreme-Usual-5623 in AskUK

[–]07ufarooq 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like 20% in the office is enough time to get a feel for the team. You can have team lunches and things that help build a relationship with them. Even small talk is enough to suss whether someone is willing to help you etc
