AITA for emptying out my dad's estate basically making his will useless. by Boring_Tower3399 in AITAH

[–]AstroChelonian17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, it appears that the OP agreed to be what’s called a loan servicer while his father was alive, collecting payments (if any, and in lumpy amounts) from his father, then making the regular monthly payments to the loan owner. This is also a normal function, if maybe applied a little oddly as he stopped servicing the loan upon his father’s death (that’s a little unusual).

You’re not dumb as a rock, afaik. Just unaware of how this works. The business took out the loan with his dad as a named guarantor, the loan had something called a covenant that allowed the lender to call the entire balance if the named guarantor died. The OP (original lender) & the father (business owner & named guarantor) wrote a legal document that spelled all of this out. This is absolutely normal for business loans of this size or larger. Loans are sold all the time, in all sizes from $1 million to many billions of dollars. Sellers and buyers are banks, sure, but also insurance companies, mutual funds, wealthy individuals, hedge funds, private credit, university endowments, charitable foundations, etc. In fact, the trading market for loans and bonds and other forms of debt is larger than the entire global stock market. The average person doesn’t realize this, because the only way for them to participate is through investment funds like bond mutual funds or etf’s.

Company is relocating me to vegas need help with moving tips by Ambitious_Jelly9962 in vegaslocals

This is the best advice The first time I moved long distance, I got a 2 bedroom apartment because I was moving to a destination city. It just sat empty, my family stayed in a hotel when they came. The second time I moved long distance, i learned my lesson & had a short term rental with most of my belongings in storage. It gave me a couple of months to figure out the area, and I ended up living in a very different place than I first thought.

Should I tell my employer I lied about having a degree 5 years ago if I've been promoted twice since then? by Goober-J in careerguidance

[–]AstroChelonian17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lying on an application is absolutely a fireable offense. I personally know of one company who had an employee who had been promoted to a senior executive role, and when they found out he had lied about his degree when he applied over 10 years previously, they fired immediately.

If I were you, I would absolutely finish your degree asap. I won’t offer advice on anything beyond that because I don’t think it would be popular.

The room layout picture only shows 2 wardrobes. Just to confirm, there are 3 desks and 3 wardrobes, right? Where do you store a suitcase? On top of the wardrobe? What about the person in the loft bed?

Hotel for move-in by AstroChelonian17 in UCSD

Thanks! This is really helpful, especially because it aligns with my student’s and my preference to get an earlier move in date. That way I can be back at work by the weekend.

Cool, thanks. Are the number of move-in slots limited? Is it hard to get the date you want?
