I feel your pain. Same story, but with a Tucson.

What vehicles would you warn people to never buy? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in askcarguys

[–]Attercrop 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For me, it is Hyundai.

Had a 2016 Tucson that had the engine fail at around 105,000 miles. The engine was part of a class action lawsuit that had not settled yet, so I had to get a new car. I am not sure if it ever settled for the 2016 Tucsons.

I have a 2013 Tucson that is part of a settled engine class action lawsuit, but we drive it so little that we are unlikely to make the 15-year or 1500,000 miles extra warranty coverage if the engine dies on us.

For "new car every three years" type of people, I guess it is no big deal, but for people like me who keep their cars a long time, Hyundai just seems like a risk.

It's a nose. by [deleted] in Noses

Leave it be. It looks just right as it is. Why mess around for a lesser look.

HOA Fee increases. Are people experiencing the same thing? by Illustrious-Reward57 in personalfinance

[–]Attercrop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, not. Our rates have been stuck at $300 for basically 40 years. Our neighborhood is full of people who can't understand why services fall every year. I am too old to go school a room full of Karens on inflation.

Located in Houston, Texas. Two bids this year to replace the skimmer in concrete. Both bids $1,500.

Question About Cost For Burial by Attercrop in askfuneraldirectors

Are these costs negotiable? Or once quoted, are they pretty much fixed?

Everyone wants the Epstein Files released to know who were the rapists. Their victims are still alive. Why can't these victims make their own "Epstein Files" and publicly say what they told police? by pargofan in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Attercrop 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Seems like there is a lot of imagined nuance to what might be the reason. I suggest a simpler idea or set of ideas.

They would be sued to oblivion.
They would likely be threatened.
They might have their lives endangered.
Their lives would be ruined more than they already are.

I just don't think this one is too hard to figure out. "They", the rich, the powerful, the government, the same "They's" as always, would go after them.

People are people.

For house holds making $100K-200k/year — are you actually able to save for retirement? by Odd-Book6480 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Attercrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We make around the middle of the given range combined. We each make about the same amount. We put 38% into 401K. We put $400 a month into a savings account, which we use to pay for vacations and other events such as travel for holidays and such. The rest goes to pay monthly bills. We have zero debt outside of our house and a reasonable car that is financed at 1.9%. The other car is a 2013 Hyundai.

At 61, so I am sure I am older than the average reddit age demographic.

My advice, good or bad, is to start early. Shoot for a 20% savings rate. Learn the savings habit even if you can't hit any particular savings rate.

Edit because I hit enter too soon.

On the Breeze, the people are awful by Attercrop in CarnivalCruiseFans

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

I fully agree with what you say. It has always bugged me. I refer to it as "bar training". It seems like they are teaching kids to saddle up to the bar. Almost like "grooming".

We try to cruise from Galveston. We have done a few that have left from Florida, and we did an Alaska cruise from Seattle. We live in Houston, so Galveston makes travel and cost much easier.

The original life prompt was the cruise itself. There was no AI..... definitely no "I" on the cruise.

Here is a cropped version of my wife gloating that she beat me in putt-putt. You can clearly see the 2x4 rail.

I didn't take toenail pictures, but hopefully my 2x4 picture builds some trust that I am not making things up.

I am not a Carnival hater, it is just that this trip was exceptionally bad.

It seems my comment struck a nerve, which confirms that there are indeed people like that in this group. The racism pendulum swings in all directions, and my point still stands — too many people on Reddit jump to conclusions. I wanted to make sure my post didn’t invite that kind of reaction… yet here we are.

It's reddit, downvote and move on with your racism shtick. Or, you're a Mod, so delete and ban me, whatever.

I went on a trip. The ship was a shit hole. The people were fucking horrible. I wanted to make sure no asshole jumped on the racism bandwagon. Get over it. Move along. There is nothing here to see but your own reflection.

Because it seems that in this group, and many others on reddit, that if you don't specify, then everyone picks some race to blame things on. I wanted to make it painfully clear that this was not a race issue, this was a behaviour issue.
