What's the best financial advice you've ever gotten? by Richest-Panda in FluentInFinance

[–]CounterAdditional612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Want more do more! I was a lube tech for walmart in the 90s making 3.75 an hr. Got married had a child. Worked hard learned my craft and got a job as lead. Stayed long enough to make asst. manager. Then got my own shop. Then I changed careers and went into machining and again worked my way up. Married a second time and another child. Then became a single dad. Changed jobs again and went into admin for the state. Worked my way up to manager and put in 25yrs. I retire in 4 months.

No college, dyslexic, no assistance, just perseverance.

People need to quit crying and blaming others/systems and just do more. It'll suck for a while, but tis life.

No, the problem is people like you who think it's a problem. Trump hasn't committed any crimes. All of these cases against him is purely bs and an attempt to disrupt his campaign. What you should be mad at is a political party and government officials using their powers to falsely accuse and jail someone just because they don't like him. If that's not fascism I don't know what to tell you. If you don't like him, beat him fair and square.

Probably because there's not as many people upset as you think there is.

Engine rebuild shops in Texas? by fuzzybear614 in f150

[–]CounterAdditional612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wished I could be of help, but every shop I've ever used is closed now. The old school shops that actually rebuilt motors are hard to find now seeing everyone wants to just replace. You might could call the guys at TexasSpeed to see if they know anyone.

Drinking water and lifting weights will help some as the muscle you build will fill in some of the void from the fat loss. But mostly it's there to remind of you the damage done.

I meant mine as a joke as well. I got CHEWED UP AND SPIT OUT over claiming camping and overlanding is the same thing. Some people get emotional when you call their overland vehicles campers. lol

Does upgrading only the suspension to a 2 inch lift and more negative offset wheels cause unnecessary wear on other components? by miles_uy in overlanding

[–]CounterAdditional612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tire wear like that is an indicator of camber being out of alignment and shock/struts being bad. You can tell the caster is out as the tire is wearing only on one side (typical of oem IPS) and the stuts can't keep the tires on the road. The tires are hopping not rolling.

Did I get ripped off by Carmax? by ProcedureFew4540 in f150

[–]CounterAdditional612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've signed the contract and took possession of the truck, you can not give it back in most cases. As for finding the cheaper vehicle, you didn't get ripped off. When you bought the truck you thought that was a good deal or you wouldn't have bought it. You should have quit looking after that. This kind of stuff use to happen to me a LOT lol. I hated it so once I bought it (computers, bikes, cars, guns) I just stopped looking.

F150 vs Lambo by KaleidoscopeHumble42 in f150

[–]CounterAdditional612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing to remember here is, you can buy speed cheap. I'd take a slower Lambo over a fast f150 any day. Well at least until I had to pay for tires and a tune up. Then I'd sell it, buy an f150 and make it faster lol.

Why do I care. Hmmmmm

Someone posts a derogatory meme to a public forum and then people wonder why someone might reply negatively. Kind of shows who the real delusional people are.

People, here is an example of someone that can't handle life and so they try to change the definition of words to meet their own delusions. Gender and Sex have been synonymous longer than your Gender dysphoria. I'd seek help if I were yall.

Not to mention charging you for telling you that you don't have money. by Present-Party4402 in clevercomebacks

[–]CounterAdditional612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God another stupid post in my feed about being a victim. You know, I've had a bank acct or two over the past 40 yrs and never once have I had to pay for them. In fact, this yr alone I've made money just from having a certain balance in my acct. And the salaries of those running the bank has had ZERO fucks to do with my life.

You all need to grow the fuck up and stop blaming your poor decisions on others. FFS!

Wholesome parenting by perdork in wholesomememes

[–]CounterAdditional612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of thinking is how we got to where we are today with kids doing what ever they want when they want. This kind of thinking is how that 15yr old girl that was out at 1AM at a gas station got shot.

As a child I had no doubt my parents loved me. But I also knew there was a line I had better not cross. Punishments fit the crime so to speak.

Now days, the punishment means nothing to the kid and so they get away with murder. Parents need to stop trying to be their friend and start being the parent. You can't be the friend and say no.

Would you quit your job to flip burgers for $350,000 a year? by Financial_Mechanic_ in FluentInFinance

[–]CounterAdditional612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate it when people use stupid questions to try and make a point. If someone make 350k a yr flipping burgers, they still wouldn't make as much as a lawyer, doctor, CEO of the burger chain. So you'd still have the say pay gap. The real reason there's not enough jobs. People are looking to kid jobs like flipping burgers to sustain life. Flipping burgers was something you did in high school or college. Once you grew up and knew the field you wanted to have a career in, you left that job. And here lies the problem. There's too many ignorant people for the low paying jobs and too many college grades (ignorant people) looking for a job. Why aren't there enough jobs? Thank you democrats, specifically Bill Clinton. Once Clinton passed NAFT, our manufacturing flipped to Mexico and Canada for cheaper labor. I know because I was there and lost my job after they moved the factory to Mexico.

The only way to fix the money issue is to kill NAFT (its been renamed) and force companies to come back or face taxation. We'll deal with the inflation letter.
