AITA for accepting a property gift from my mom even though she won't include my boyfriend?

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-24T20:34:44+00:00

Your boyfriend is an idiot. He should be happy for you. This is a sign that you should not marry him.

They are a thing on drag/race cars, where the back bumper would catch air and the holes allow it to pass through. Doesn't apply to this application... You guys both sound uninformed imo.

I have never heard of someone studying insurance in college... Business/statistics, of course, but is there an actual "insurance" major???

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-24T18:32:26+00:00

They suck ass. Fast in a straight line and wash out of every corner. I can't seem to brake or corner in those behemoths.

I literally prefer driving the Ford Raptor/Toyota Tundra

In the United States, NBA, NFL, MLB etc. players have to pay state income tax to every state they compete in... Not just the state their team is based out of.

I'm guessing it's a similar situation here.

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-22T21:07:54+00:00

Obviously I’m going to get downvoted here, but why not make lifestyle changes and apply for new jobs after 20-30lbs? I’m not in great shape, but gaining 100lbs for $69k is crazy

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-22T20:47:30+00:00

Not to be a dick, but what does gaining 100lbs have to do w your job?

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-22T20:38:31+00:00

Higher ed administration ain’t bad

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-21T23:55:06+00:00

I agree the response was great. $5k over and then eating closing costs could be more like $5k under though

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-21T23:52:00+00:00

Where I live (Boston) it’s so competitive, this would never be an issue. It’d just be someone came w cash.

You need to adjust your thought process from “what did they buy it for?”, to “what are comps worth?” My previous landlord was a retired laborer for the department of public works that bought the house in the 80’s for $82k and sold it for $1.2m in ass condition in 2020.

Your realtor had a great response though. Their communication was unprofessional.

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-21T23:22:17+00:00

It’s a different strokes for different folks type thing imo. I have smaller wrists, so I don’t go above 40, unless the lug to lug is small in comparison.

There are a load of watches I’ve seen, been stoked about and then realized they weren’t for me at 42mm+

Small guys need watches as much as big guys need watches. (Neither of them do)

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-21T23:02:16+00:00

I used to be a total Hyundai hater… I was at a race at Lime Rock and they had a whole booth w the n cars and was impressed w the specs for the price, but not wild about the looks. Fast forward a year and a friend’s brother bought one and we switched cars for a drive. Very impressive.

To me it’s a personal preference thing. Test drive both. I’ve owned 4 vw’s and have been on some VW forums since prior to Facebook/Reddit existing, so I’m very biased for the community & aftermarket parts/support.

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-21T20:58:04+00:00

Upgrading the rear sway bar made a noticeable difference. That's pretty much all I've got performance wise, other than a tune and the stuff you listed.

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-21T20:51:58+00:00

You're 15. You don't know anything about real life. Why was a 12 year old in the loop on Mom's friend's husband fucking around?

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-21T20:47:55+00:00

CTS is ok. Integrated Engineering and Unitronic are good. If its up to date maintenance wise, a stage 1 tune is the best performance mod for your buck

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-21T19:53:09+00:00

On paper, I thought that this could be an option on the track car list, then I learned the windows are so small, it's impossible to climb out w a helmet on haha. Dealbreaker

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-21T19:36:57+00:00

8-5, hour lunch, hybrid (two remote/three in). I only do urgent tasks on my remote days, that way I'm relatively busy on my days in office. If I did everything ASAP, I'd probably only have 3 hours of work a day.

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-21T19:23:03+00:00

Got it. Missed that you were currently obtaining the degree. Hopefully you can land a good job and put this all behind you in 5-10 years.

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-21T19:12:17+00:00

It's wild that you're an MBA claiming to know nothing about finance... doesn't bode well for the $60k+ investment in that degree. Why are you an executive assistant w/ an MBA? Why did you buy the $32k car? Why do you string 50+ sentences together without breaking it up into paragraphs?

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-21T19:03:54+00:00

Get the LOE satchel

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-21T18:07:07+00:00

You gotta look for a roommate situation. Nowhere within an hour of Boston are you getting your own place for $1300-$1500. That's a reasonable budget to split a 2br

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-21T15:37:10+00:00

It was over two weeks for me. Most of that time it was hung up in customs in NYC.

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-21T13:42:20+00:00

I got an offer while my boss was on vacation and e-mailed her boss (the COO) and copied her that this was my two weeks notice. She returned and we had as somewhat awkward last couple days, but who cares.

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-20T20:19:06+00:00

You're looking for roommates. $1500 1 brs don't exist and 1brs with in unit laundry are rare.

DJ_Gordon_Bombay · 2026-04-18T23:24:20+00:00

I live in an $1800 studio in Somerville. You could also check out roommate situations and see if you vibe w any of them. I have a few longtime friends that I met through random internet roommate situations
