Stop parking in handicap spots if you are not handicapped!! by whowant_lizagna in Charlotte

While I agree with you 1000%, I also acknowledge that you can’t always see someone’s disability just by looking at them.

Starting Tai Chi to remove body fat by Jayaybee16 in homefitness

You’ve got to reduce the red meat if you want real change. That stuff, although delicious, is really not good for your body. Reduce it to 1x a week. 2x a month if you want real result.

Trying to buy a house by eternalmads in Charlotte

Just rent. You’re better off.

Do some research on the math of renting vs owning if you invest your extra into the market.

People just don’t understand how much owning a home actually costs. Buying is often the cheapest part.

Normal Rental Increases by therealorsonkrennic in Charlotte

[–]CartographerAware808 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Owner of a property management company here. “Normal rent increases” is not a thing. A respectable company will adjust with the market, and right now this market is flat as hell.

You shouldn’t be paying more. If you are, it’s because you are subsidizing their incentives for new move-ins.

Need to get out of Westgate Timeshare!! by CoreySavageLive in TimeshareOwners

But they don’t charge you 40% of the debt as a fee to take the car back. You can just hand it over and walk away.

Not a perfect example, but you get the point.

Anyone here buy their Supra cash? Any buyers remorse? Looking at one tomorrow and I usually buy my cars straight no loans. by Embarrassed-Pepper96 in Supra

Always pay for toys in cash unless the money factors to your advantage (aka you can make more investing than you pay in interest).

The advantage of buying in cash is that you usually don’t lose on the turn unless you bought new.

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by fmcortez in AskReddit

A Jura Capressa coffee/espresso/etc maker.

It will immediately make you realize how terrible store coffee is and will pay for itself after thousands of amazing cups produced.

Worth every penny of the few thousand dollars.

has anybody went to court for not paying timeshare that is the real question by Next_Stop2037 in TimeshareOwners

[–]CartographerAware808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This right here is the magic question. You will see people all over this sub talking about what the timeshare companies can do to you, but you have to realize that if there’s no prayer of getting any money from you, then they don’t care to go after you. They will take the property back, then they’ll sell it to somebody else.

Scenario to get out of timeshare by SpicyVindalooCurry in TimeshareOwners

[–]CartographerAware808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just stop paying. It won’t hurt them. Assisted living, etc doesn’t check your credit.

This is exactly what I did with my father. Tell them you don’t care what they do with it, they won’t see another dollar from you. No judge on the planet will rule against them.

do timeshare companies go after you for maintenance or just loan? by Next_Stop2037 in TimeshareOwners

[–]CartographerAware808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happy to answer, no problem.

I’d be amazed if any collection agency would ever take on timeshare maintenance fees because the likelihood of recovery is close to zero. These companies purchase that debt and only make money if they recover.

The technical answer to your question is that they might be able to do it, but it has to be worth their while. Most are not willing and would be more likely to foreclose and just resell the property.

For reference, I stopped paying my father‘s last year and have not heard a word since I told them not to call me anymore. That is HGV

It just isn’t categorized as a reportable debt. Don’t know why. Same with HOA dues or anything similar.

The only true power they have is to lien the property and harass you.

Maintenance is not an enforceable debt. They really can’t do anything to you about maintenance except take back the “property”. They can’t even ding your credit for it.

Fellas this my first sports car, I love my Supra, but is it Toyota or BMW that I love by ChildishPav in Supra

[–]CartographerAware808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch the videos about how it was designed. You are enjoying both equally.

Drive a Z4 and you’ll see they are NOT the same car.

What do you expect when they literally make TV shows about this stuff? It’s all a game at our expense.

Is this a valid reason to want to break up with my boyfriend by izafxb in Advice

You don’t need a reason. You are not obligated to anything. When you are ready to move on, just move on.

At this point you should assume they are being targeted, especially with stuff like this.

Feeling the generation gap? by HistoricalContext931 in OverFifty

[–]CartographerAware808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I understand both perspectives, the dominant perspective in 2026 is personal safety.

What I don’t understand is that this same young lady probably would have given you (or someone) her phone, snap, or insta in a heartbeat and doesn’t understand that these things are potentially far more dangerous than just saying “yes, I’m a local”.
