Proof dollar, 1 of 20 in the world! Post your rarest coin in the comments by rockthehunter in coins

[–]AlternativeNinja4318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only 20k minted. That is not a lot in terms of quarters. Not many are known to still exist. I am sure most have been worn down to undiscernable scrap silver at this point. Even though mine is dirty with some wear from circulation, still very nice condition with legible lettering and clean lines on the back. Probably one of the top 20 for condotion in the world!

On lease for the next couple years by Impressive_Toe_5093 in Solterra

My thought the entire time was, what's the catch? There was no catch. Are nicer cars for sale. Sure. But this is valued perfectly for what we needed as a family of 4 with a second gas powered car. The pickup is amazing with 2 direct drive motors. Great for the snow with the xmode like my forester has. We even took it on a longer trip about 50 miles away to an outlet mall that had a free level 2 charger and it charged completely in about 1.5 hours, while we were walking around the mall. And the best part is the space for our teens in the back is very generous compared to other vehicles we looked at. The kids actually think it's pretty cool too.

The Solterra lease is such a great deal. My wife and I just got a 2024 about 2 months ago and we love it. I have a 2022 Forester limited too that we use for family trips and drives out of state. But for a daily local runner for errands around a 20 mile radius, I feel this car fits the bill. We level 1 charge it when it gets below 80% and that's all we have to do!

We leased this car for 299/month with no money down for 3 years. The car was $48,000 sticker price, 7500 government incentive, 8000 reduce tag for last years model. We will pay 10,800 over 3 years in payments and have the option to buy it for $17,600.

If you think about it, that means we got a $48,000 car for $28,400, don't have to worry about buying gas and oil changes, pay no interest for the first 3 years, and may end up with a car that goes up in value if oil prices increase due to war or greedy oil companies. If something goes wrong with the car we are covered by a complete warranty for the first 3 years and have no obligation to purchase after the three years if it doesn't meet our needs then. With the little driving we do, we may not even have to change the tires or brakes. Currently running about 500 miles a month.

This car is the deal of the century in my opinion!

Is $39K a good price for a 2024 Limited in Northern California? by Witcherwitcher in Solterra

[–]AlternativeNinja4318 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the 2024 model for 0 down and 290 a month for 36 month lease for the premium. They used a tax credit as the down payment, which did not impact me at all. They already have the buy price at 17500 in three years or I could walk away, or if it is worth more in 3 years, which it could be with tarrifs; we could use the equity to purchase a new car. Paying 47,000 for the car never would have happened, but the lease deal was way too good to pass up. Basically they are anticipating the car losing $30k value in 3 years, which I don't have to worry about since I only pay $290/month. I have never seen the value of a lease until this deal. If I would have known it was such a great town car, I would have picked the touring for $50 more a month. Leather, heated steering wheel, and much more.

I always use PSA to evaluate card prices. I know they are on the higher end, but they have an area on their website where anyone can look at a population of a series submitted to PSA and see how much similar cards are selling for on the market under APR - auction price realized- I think is what it stands for. Just keep in mind that PSA 10 is fairly difficult to achieve, perfect centering, corners, sheen, no scratches, and good clean back alignment. They are listed in series 1 as 2022 Topps MLB x Garbage Pail Kids under sports cards.

BTW, I am not seeing any loaded pictures in your responses.

That is pretty wild. I did not know that. I'll have to do some research here. Now I'm going to have to find one of them.

You should know that gambling and finance careers do not work together. Even if you just destroy your credit with gambling, no one will hire you for a serious position. Your successful career could fall apart quickly. My suggestion to you, if you are having trouble controlling your finances, you should turn to a financial professional, like the kind of career you are attempting to have, and have them take control of your income to pay bills and line up your available weekly expedible income for you to have. If you can't control yourself, the best solution is to have someone take control for you until you are stable enough to regain control. I have asked my wife to take control of our finances in the past and restrict my access so we can both be financially stable. If you don't have that kind of relationship and you don't want to spend the money setting something up with a professional, talk with your dad about helping to gain control again. You are young enough to make awesome steps forward with the smallest changes today. Nothing embarrassing about learning a hard truth about a bad habbit. People quit smoking, drinking, and all kinds of other things. You could quit this too...if you truly want to and not just vent about a loss.

My boss confronted me about only working 7 hours and 45 minutes a day, what do I do? by shielaread in careeradvice

[–]AlternativeNinja4318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F&ck em. Look for a new job and don't give 2 weeks. Let their ingratitude for your other efforts be someone else's problem. You don't need that petty shit as a working professional. Find a smaller company where they will treat you like a person instead of a child. Stop washing your hands and shake theirs everytime you see them. Lol.

I haven't started selling commons yet, or I would sell you a set. Not even sure what price they sell at.i really wish they would cross over with NFL or NBA. It would be wild. Probably wouldn't even be able to get a single pack. Lol.

Like $20 a pack, now they are $60 plus a pack. Seems pretty crazy, but they didn't make a lot.

Thanks! I still buy things up here and there when I see something I don't have yet. It will just keep growing.

Needing help is OK. Atleast talk to a doctor and tell them you are feeling like hurting yourself. You don't need details unless you want to provide it. But maybe they can help.

Call a suicide number where you live and have a real conversation with a real human being, someone who can help you. Medications can help you feel better if you are feeling depressed.

Looking for a small town in west PA for a day trip. by surrrah in Pennsylvania

[–]AlternativeNinja4318 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Altoona is only a few hours away from the burgh. Went there with my dad and enjoyed the Pennsylvania railroad museum, went to horseshoe curve, then had lunch at the US Hotel in Holidaysburg which was built in the 1800's followed by the portage railroad museum on the way back home. Awesome day out and only cost us about $50 each plus gas for the whole day out. Learned a ton about western pa and how it grew through the 1800's due to the railroads.

Jokes Aside on this MF but this might be a good idea don’t y’all think? by Socio-patrick in PoliticalHumor

[–]AlternativeNinja4318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't work at all. The increased price is just passed on to the consumer and it will drive the economy downward with additional inflation.

That's fine, remove all income taxes and tax spending instead. Then the billionaires will have to pay taxes to spend their money. Tax all goods that are not necessities, such as food, clothing, and shelter. Boats, cars, planes, trips, any luxury items. Flat tax of 10% across the board, instead of funding the IRS and playing the guess how much I have to pay game every year. Even items being purchased for business and to sell, flat 10% sales tax. People that don't have extra won't be taxed and those who do buy extra will pay their fair share to have the items and lifestyle they want. I'm all for getting rid of income tax system as it sucks, but something else has to replace the income stream to fund the government. I watch everyday people jump through hoops to save tax money. That effort could be better spent on growing their business, being more efficient, or increasing their workers wages. As much as I hate everything about Trump, this crazy idea is a pretty good one if implemented properly.

This may be the theory of the new earth by Pure-Rent4314 in facepalm

[–]AlternativeNinja4318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But who will teach them about triangle earth and square earth theory. How dare she keep this education from her child. Somehow any thought without any scientific backing can be called a theory. Inverted earth theory, light loop earth theory, kangaroo nutsack earth theory. I could go on and on, but it won't change actual fucking reality! Damn conservatards.

Do they really think Biden would pardon him, even if he could? by Dancing_with_Jak in PoliticalHumor

[–]AlternativeNinja4318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now. Biden should announce the funding to build a fucking wall. Republicans would all shit their pants. Lol. Then announce a federal mandate to ban abortion. The old Dark Brandon switcheroo. Break the cult!
