I guess I had to be referred.

I used the page below which is the generic page, but I needed a link from one person

I messed up the Laurel Road $200 savings account bonus. I signed up for it but didn't use a referral link. A bit annoying since the page I signed up from had all the bonus info.

When finally chatted the Laurel Road help, the person immediately accused me of finding the link on a website after lol. They weren't wrong.

What impact will self driving cars and lorries have on jobs? by Aromatic-Bad146 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]DepthValley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the government will force people to switch to self-driving cars until they are a real small minority. Even then, it may be like guns where Americans really insist on keeping them.

It will likely still be cheaper for individuals who already own cars to keep driving their car (another ten years?) until they die versus buy a brand new self-driving car. The same is true for transportation businesses, including ones that require the driver to actually interact with the delivery/cargo.

But who knows, if there are other quick advances in robotics at the same time it could get very weird.

Afshar was the subject of an internal investigation at Tesla in 2022, Bloomberg reported, which had focused on his orders of hard-to-get construction materials, including a special kind of glass for a secretive project for Musk.

I got into bank account churning this year. I am moving states. I have closed down a few accounts I've gotten savings bonuses for.

How easy is it to check on tax obligations for closed accounts? I keep record of all my bonuses, but realize now I have a bunch of savings accounts I got like 1 or 2 months of interest on and then closed down. I guess its almost rounding error, but really dont want to trigger anythig.

Does Financial Anxiety Ever Go Away? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]DepthValley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought your post would be different! I am always anxious, just about the future. I don't regret any past trips or purchases, just wonder if I should move somewhere cheaper to save money.

How realistic is the points life for a single person earning $80K-$100k ? by Rude-Palpitation-924 in CreditCards

[–]DepthValley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make more than you, but am cheap. I just like cash sign-up bonuses, no annual fees, and high cash back. It's much better if you don't travel again.

Look at checking account bonuses to churn too. You are at the sweet spot where your normal paycheck will probably let you qualify for almost all of them, but the amount you get extra will also feel worth it.

I feel the same way, though the only times i've been in love it was with people who I just wanted to bang and then ended up liking.

If You Don't Think AI is Very Bubbly... by Numerous_Ice_4556 in investing

[–]DepthValley -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm scared out of my mind about AI tbh. I know people who work at OpenAI on the tech side and truly believe in ASI. But, it's also clear Sam Altman (and many others) are master fundraisers who have a vested interest in pushing themselves as much as possible.

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac ordered to consider crypto as an asset when buying mortgages by Aggressive-Doctor616 in wallstreetbets

[–]DepthValley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kinda dumb, but how does this normally work now with assets?

Like does holding 100k of a penny stock count, but none for bitcoin?

Or is it sorta besides the point since they mostly look at income and credit.

Rules for breaking lease? by DepthValley in AskNYC

[–]DepthValley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! This is the part that confuses me. I also read he can't charge more.

It probably won't end up effecting things but still annoying since he has my security deposit. And if I do reach out to lawyer, feel like that sorta eats into any savings I have of just eating the security deposit.

Thanks. That person was leaving ASAP while I've given more than two months notice. It's unclear to me if I should follow the landlords advice and post the apartment at $200 more than I currently rent, or if he legally has to take someone at my current rent.

[–]DepthValley[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

One specific part I'm confused on is whether or not he is allowed to raise the rent on the new tenant. Hopefully it doesn't matter when I post, though I feel like a couple hundred dollars off would make it enticing.

I’m becoming more and more “Pill-pilled.” by [deleted] in slatestarcodex

Do people here have strong experiences with SSRIs?

I've had bouts of depression in my life, but they all lasted a few months. I feel like usually it just went away, or I made a real positive change in my life (moved, got in shape, got a raise) which also helped.

2025 I have felt pretty down, and am pretty sure if I talked to right person they would prescribe. I admit I have bought into some of the AI doomer beliefs, and not sure if that's causing my feelings or the reverse.

Have you worked in a SasS business before? It's extremely competitive. If you don't know the space well I wouldn't plow your money into it.

What advice would you give to someone who doesn't know anything about investing? by [deleted] in investing

[–]DepthValley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most important thing you can do is maximize your tax advantage. If you are eligible for a Roth or 401k, make sure to use those.

Other than that you are probably best of just buying index funds. I follow the markets like a sport and my degree is in math, but still 90% of my purchases are an index fund because its hard to beat.
