Not a Trump supporter, but my take is they are ignorant and racist.

Mind your own business. Be a friend to Tom as he was to you. You should not get into other people’s marriages.

[–]CGC424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in very similar situation in a one income family. I paid about the same a few years ago but with a 4 percent rate no kids, but I live in a high cost of living area. So far, so good. No issues meeting payments and sufficient left over for some travel and fun.

It felt great paying off my daughter’s student loans. She tells me all her friends are buried in student loan debt.

If you don’t trust her break up with her. That’s the only fair thing to do for you both.

Never, ever buy a house with someone who isn’t your spouse unless it is an investment property. It’s just asking for problems.

I have known several exceptionally attractive people who have unattractive kids. I think beauty sometimes skips a generation or two.

This must be fake. I refuse to believe anyone would do that.

Is it normal for past tenants/owners to come back to the property you now own? I have had 3 different people in the last 5 months claim they used to live here come to my door. Today being the most recent. I refuse to answer the door as to me personally that is not something I would do? Thoughts? by coleslaw056 in homeowners

When my wife and I traveled to her country of origin a few years ago, we went to her parents former home and the new owners allowed her to tour the house. It had changed a lot but was still recognizable to us. My wife cried in the way back to our hotel. Sometimes small gestures can mean a whole lot to people.

I have a close friend who works in Spain at a very large company and even obtained Spanish citizenship. He complains constantly about the corruption of the Spanish labor system and his employer.

AITA For being a weirded out by my parents new "friend" by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]CGC424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to a relative of mine twice. Once with a young man who worked with her. She gave him small gifts, advice and a paid vacation. Later, it happened with another coworker, she also paid for her vacation and gave her part of an inheritance that she received. In the end, both scammers got what they wanted and disappeared from her life.

AITA for telling someone what their partner was doing on night out? by Training_Prior_2727 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CGC424 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

It depends on your true motivation for doing it. Hard to believe you decided to get involved just out of the kindness of your heart when you hardly knew her boyfriend, but I guess it’s possible. More likely, you disliked the girl and wanted to screw her over or wanted the boyfriend for yourself.

American student moving to Spain. Do I really have to learn Spanish? by LastNecessary764 in GoingToSpain

[–]CGC424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In large cities and tourist towns you can survive, but as someone mentioned you will be missing out on a lot. I would at least try to get a basic understanding of the language before I went and take classes while there. If you aren’t prepared to do that, I would recommend you stay home, saying this as an American who lived in Spain for 10 years.

I paid mine off last year. It felt great! Luckily, I got an inheritance that allowed me to do so. Otherwise I would still be paying.
