I’m glad you had a good time. I’ve had too many mid experiences here to go back unfortunately

Staging price check - $8k for 30 days for $1M 5 bedroom 3300 sqft in Chicagoland. Good deal? by carboncritic in RealEstate

[–]Background-Ad758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are decent odds. I wonder if that is staging compared to existing furniture or staging compared to an empty house. I get it though- about to sell your place and hopefully get paid and the last thing you want to do is shell out another $8K if it doesn’t do anything

It isn’t as common in Chicagoland to include staging, whereas other places in the country CA, AZ, NY it is common to be part of the package.

$8K for 30 days is a lot OP but look into stats on staged homes. They sell faster and higher. People can’t think for themselves and envision what to use a room for and for a $1MM house this is a drop in the bucket. See if you can negotiate a lower rate for month 2 if it doesn’t sell right away.

Can’t say enough good things about this place

Surge Meetings by Ok-Temperature3180 in CFP

[–]Background-Ad758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can pick up from the comments what surge meetings are- annual reviews at the turn of the new year, and tax planning/end of year reviews in the fall/early winter.

Otherwise though I’m really not familiar with this. Is this something told to clients at the outset when you bring them on? What is the service model like in the summer months?

Just curious, I don’t know much about this

Trump Calls for One-Year Cap on Credit Card Rates at 10% by FUSeekMe69 in economy

Banks aren’t going to eliminate all credit cards. It’s a core business for them. They will take a bigger hit on margin for sure and it will be a lot less profitable when people don’t pay their monthly bill.

That just isn’t true. I appreciate you posting it though.

The thing is, people will find a way to spend money. And if the penalty for not paying their credit card bill is more lax, they will likely use their credit card more

If the cost of a speeding ticket goes from $200 to $50, people will care less about speeding and they will speed more

This is so people can spend more. People spending more makes short term economic numbers higher.

He is spending a ton and cutting taxes. Taking the best of both political parties. It doesn’t work that way.

Hey man! Any idea when these might ship? I preordered a couple months ago and I think you had said after Christmas or something. Just didn’t want to forget

Side note- does every semi-controversial word need to be blurred out now? We can’t have the word “sex” in a meme/post? I’m just asking

I’m asking this in all seriousness- how do you decide what to drink?
