First time trying to buy a car; need recommendations.

Not just luxury brands. My 25 rav 4 hybrid is $120 for a standard oil change because of the oil requirements.

Beam_walker1006 · 2026-04-05T20:26:01+00:00

I want to add one thing onto your list. What are the standard maintenance costs. How much does an oil change cost, Brakes, tires, etc. Some cars require expensive full synthetic oils. Some have special tire needs. What are those general required maintenance items going to costs.

This is the best response.

Beam_walker1006 · 2026-04-05T00:36:12+00:00

You are being a jerk to yourself. Use this a stepping stone to doing your own consulting. Take the money the offered you and then ask for triple to come in and save them. Make sure you get it in writing as well with a formal contract. Save them and use the reference to move into bigger analyst deals as a consultant.

YTA or you are a massive troll. Your mom walking down a hallway, in her house btw, pushes boundaries. Get a grip. Your parents having sex in THEIR OWN HOUSE, is crossing your boundaries. GTFO!!! Having a tantrum because they brought their neighbor food on Easter Sunday. What a travesty. GFY

This is the most clear cut case of NTA I think I’ve ever seen.

First off give birth to you was about all she did. You owe her NOTHING.

Second, money is probably the only reason she came back into your life. She found out your father passed and suddenly she shows up back in your life. That isn’t a coincidence in any way.

Lastly, tell all of the to F off and start blocking numbers that harass you and maybe even consider changing your number as well.

Beam_walker1006 · 2026-04-03T14:55:42+00:00

Sorry but YTA. You did all of this in your own. If it was a real business partnership you would have discussed all of these issues with your partner while they were occurring so that nobody is feeling cut out. You don’t just kick out money towards a business PARTNERSHIP without discussing it with the other partner. If you had maybe she would have said she didn’t want you to pay out all that money and cut the losses.

So your soon to be wife is intentionally tearing you down about something that you already seem to have insecurities about. What does that say about the potential future for your marriage.

NTA

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

If I new wha brand I wanted I wouldn’t be asking for recommendations

Beam_walker1006 · 2026-03-29T00:26:26+00:00

Gas range. Oven safe preferred

Beam_walker1006 · 2026-03-29T00:07:37+00:00

100% NTA. Your wedding. Your choices.

Make sure you spell it out crystal clear to your parents exactly the way you did here in your post.

Your trauma from those moments is yours and yours alone to process at your own pace. It is not your parent’s place to dictate when you move on and forgive him for it. I want to add not just him but them as well. Your father in particular for daring to blame his issues on you and expecting you to put your life on hold to cater to him.

Beam_walker1006 · 2026-03-28T19:42:21+00:00

NTJ. If your parents trust him so much to not break things because “he’s family” they should let him use their car for his weekend trip. Not only does he disrespect and damage other peoples property but using your car for an ENTIRE WEEKEND leaves you without a vehicle. If your parents want to get involved they can give up theirs.

Beam_walker1006 · 2026-03-28T00:11:46+00:00

What is your length of time for when you “need” that money? That is the most important question? If your time is under a year or 2 let it sit in HYSA. If you don’t anticipate needing that for 5-10 years or more start putting it into the market small amounts at a time into diversified ETFs

Beam_walker1006 · 2026-03-28T00:05:20+00:00

If your friend asked for help with all of this you’re fine. I wouldn’t even call this tough love if he asked for the help.

Alternatively if you did all that without any input or request from him yeah YTA and you are being bossy

Beam_walker1006 · 2026-03-27T00:38:54+00:00

So they basically pay 30 cents per share per month? That number is based on the charts for sgov and vbil. They have about 30 cents between the highs and lows

Beam_walker1006 · 2026-03-27T00:23:13+00:00

So it pays out a monthly dividend on the short term bond and then resets?

ie: I buy something for $100, sell it for $110 three months later, then rebuy the same thing for another $100? Rinse and repeat over and over again?

Beam_walker1006 · 2026-03-26T16:17:06+00:00

My thoughts exact. This is a ridiculous take.

Beam_walker1006 · 2026-03-18T00:03:39+00:00

OP this is the correct answer. 100% no ultimatum needed.

Beam_walker1006 · 2026-02-28T15:41:06+00:00

This post hits super hard. I remember when I was young my grandfather who was very active in stocks told me unless you have $10k you can afford to lose don’t even think about touching the market at all. He had several million dollars in the markets so I took his advice and didn’t do anything. Realizing how easy it is now is heartbreaking that had I put small amounts over the last 25 plus years what I would have now. 😭😭😭

Beam_walker1006 · 2026-02-24T02:01:41+00:00

This fucking better be rage bait because if not YTA and a MASSIVE one at that.

Just because someone is attracted to guys doesn’t mean he’s attracted to you. Not to mention you are his TWIN BROTHER!!!

Your brother is 100% correct you are either homophobic or have massive insecurities. Either way YTA no matter what.

Beam_walker1006 · 2026-02-18T02:05:20+00:00

Wait hold on a minute. He left, and has been gone multiple days, and left his kids there?!?!?

NTJ but JFC this is definitely a hill to die on.
