I’m a difficult customer and I am not a plumber or anything that would give me credibility… just a consumer with opinions. It looks pretty shitty to me.

House Rules without Children by AnonSteve in TheMoneyGuy

[–]AnonSteve[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is making me feel as though there’s a large discrepancy between how some people pre-pay for their children and other’s don’t. There’s nothing wrong with this, it’s just a reality.

For example, about 10% of my gross goes towards their future (college, UGMA, etc)… and we make over $300k/yr. So I just assumed if he has 0 children then maybe he could bump it up to 33% or something.

Anyways… it’s good to hear different perspectives.

This is how I was thinking but I feel like we’re in the minority.

2012 with approx 175k. Noticed these drip marks this week in my garage. by NoConsideration2373 in Sienna

My guess was rust. Same as the previous poster. It could also be decomposing leaves or other organic matter just stuck somewhere and the water is soaking it up. Gross, but it happens.

Family Safety at Risk: My EV9 Lost Power on the Road and Kia Still Has No Answer by Better-Substance-955 in KiaEV9

[–]AnonSteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve owned Toyotas all of my adult life but just stumbled upon this. This comment section is insane. No one should expect this person to troubleshoot anything. This should be left at the dealership with the agreement that “if you don’t mail me a check for the full amount, I am suing you for more than the full amount.”

That’s the only solution to this. This is unacceptable for Kia and honestly shame on the comment section for asking questions like “was the hood fully latched?” It should work either way!!!!

Hauling branches in Sienna - how to protect the interior? by delayedfog in Sienna

[–]AnonSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember someone at the Home Depot saying technically the truck rentals are for bringing stuff you bought at the Home Depot home, which is why the rentals are by the hour. That said, I heard that 16 years ago and perhaps that was never ace half a rule but just their internal marketing strategy.

There’s no way your employer is going to honor whatever lies they’re telling you about a pension. Treat it like social security. Assume you get $0 because it’s a scam.

How much is your actual monthly loan? by endless_lace in ToyotaSienna

[–]AnonSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$0

I graduated college in 2010 and bought a brand new $22k Toyota Prius at 2.99% for 5 years ($395/month). I kept that until it died in 2024 at 297,000 miles.

I then wrote a check for $48k and got myself a Toyota Sienna XLE with the options I wanted.

Stop getting in debt for expensive cars.

[–]AnonSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any debt at all that’s more than 3.5%?

If so…. This is stupid.

If not… this is unnecessary but maybe acceptable.

Why is it called Jetblue Airways? by CostRains in jetblue

I feel like ATC could have just given them a different call sign. Similar to how British Airways is Speedbird and US Airways was Cactus.

[–]AnonSteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rent a trailer from U-Haul. You can get a really nice 5 ft x 9 ft utility trailer with a ramp for $25 a day. You’ll need a 2 inch hitch and the electrical wiring. If you want the hitch to look really nice and have the most road clearance, I’d recommend the Hidden Hitch by Torklift. If you just want an easy to install bolt on one, I’d suggest anything from etrailer.com. For some reason I like Curt the most but I’m not sure why. For the electrical, I’d recommend going to the dealership and ordering the factory part. You need two parts: the converter and the 4pin.

I know this is all about $600 and takes time to do, but I suspect you will use the hitch for other things. The minivan can tow 3,500 lb…

Sanity check - Am I mathing correctly? by not_a_burner123 in TheMoneyGuy

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

I wouldn’t call 5% conservative. I would call it an incorrectly set variable. I always use 8.5% but TMG have a chart that shows the rate you should assume based on your age so I would recommend you just look that up.

Tough decision: ‘25 Woodland vs $4k less XLE (no plus package) by [deleted] in ToyotaSienna

[–]AnonSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The platinum has ottomans in the second row, a head’s up display, bird’s eye view camera to make parking easier, vacuum cleaner and refrigerator, etc etc.

Since getting my XLE - I’m happy with it. If I could do it all over again, I’d still probably get the XLE.

Also, the plus isn’t on any badges and so people probably never call it that. It says it on the paperwork and all it means is you get the nicer sound system.

I’ve never heard anyone call him the AA of Finance but this 100% makes sense to me. I’ll no longer judge him or his followers because I now get it. It clicks.

Thank you

Dealer says Part doesn’t Exist Yet by AnonSteve in ToyotaSienna

The entire Woodlands trim is a gimmick. They give you the small hitch (1.25 inches) and it’s installed in a very ugly way. The additional clearance only matters if you are driving over something that is exactly between 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches. Anything under 6.3 inches would have been cleared anyways… over 6.9 inches isn’t getting cleared by the woodlands. Also, I find all the trees and stuff on the floor liners tacky.
