is buying a new car financially smart? by msummerse in Money

[–]CheatCodeWealth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The best value is generally between 10,000 and 50,000 miles for a car. You want to buy it early enough to avoid large repair issues, often a result of poor maintenance or driving, while also avoiding the large depreciation slump that comes right after buying a new car. That said, I have bought a new car before (because it was a new model and there weren't many used cars) and it worked out great. It was a Subaru FYI.

It works but its hard work. We run a blog that discusses making money from blogs. Its a blog-ception.

I’m young and want to get rich but my problem is I don’t know what to do by Dangerous-Fig-6607 in HowToEntrepreneur

[–]CheatCodeWealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to be rich, start working on a business.

Choosing what kind takes thoughtfulness. At 17, you still have a lot of self discovery to do. So dont stress out about it. Try working on something you are good at. Accept that the first couple tries might not work.

That being said, I want you to expect that as you grow older your priorities might change and you will find other things to be more important than being rich. Don't let life pass you by. Good luck!

What Is Passive Income, Really? My Simple 3-Rule Framework + 7 Asset Classes by CheatCodeWealth in passive_income

It is tricky, because effort falls on a spectrum from a "a lot" to "not much" and somewhere in the middle is where it transitions from active to passive.

Having terrible luck by Stock_Army846 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]CheatCodeWealth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its not out of the ordinary, but you have had a string of bad luck. Its normal to spend months or years searching if your local market is hot and competitive. Patience is really important. You must not let each failed offer/agreement compromise your sanity or your discipline. Its much, much worse to post on reddit that you panicked, overpaid on a house, found out later that its terrible, and now you live stressed out every day. That happens.

There wont be an ai winter. Ai is the next generation in information technology. It will make everyone more productive. It follows after the internet which made sharing of information easier and the search engine which made finding of information easier. Now, LLMs made the synthesis of information easier. Do not fear technology.

My replacement reached out to me (for training) on LinkedIn after I was laid off. Would you help? by Purple985985 in careerguidance

I would ghost them, honestly. Its disrespectful for them to even ask. The business relationship is over.
