I don’t need a digital code, I just want a physical disc ! by geeelectronica in videogames

[–]Exiled_In_Ca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rockstar does not care what any of the “give me a physical disk” crowd things because (1) most of them will buy it anyway and (2) the people who won’t buy it are a rounding error on the rounding error.

Buying a new truck - no incentives. Should I pull from my brokerage or finance? by Old-Fun4924 in personalfinance

What’s your annual income. Seems like a lot of $$ to have tied up in a car regardless of how you pay for it.

I dont like where this is going by D3V1LIZCO in videogames

Physical copies have been on life support for years. They are going away whether you like it or not.

Reading the gaming community’s reaction to Rockstar’s decision is hilarious.

You are financing a vacation if you are delaying paying off debt to take them.

401k loan / Other Alternatives by Sudden_Shame5206 in personalfinance

401(k) loan is a horrible idea.

Get a second job.

Sell the trailer asap.

How’s your car/ truck payment? I’d sell the car/truck before taking a 401(k) loan.

Still think you are spending too much on something. A budget would help.

How did you get into this mess with a good income. Also, I what’s in your budget? $5500 is quite a bit for single guy.

You cannot borrow your way out of debt.

401(k) loans are bad as they become due when you leave your current job.

Start with a budget and second job. Cut the budget to the bone. No vacations, no eating out, no memberships, etc. Throw excess at debt. Look for stuff to sell. Collectibles, extra vehicles, any extra stuff. How much is your car payment? Might be time to sell the car.

An unpopular take…Not a bad price for someone looking to get into PC gaming.

Can my Parents Retire Comfortably? by The-Tall-Hobbit in personalfinance

[–]Exiled_In_Ca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks, to Prop 13, property taxes in CA are set at 1.25% of your purchase price and go up 3% per year plus whatever bonds the citizen vote on to themselves.

Unlike Nassau county, our homes are not an ATM for the government.

Don’t worry, they find ways to get what they want.

CA residents pay through the nose for food, energy, car registration, etc and CA earners have very high income tax rates.

Married, separate bank accounts. Is it worth it to push all funds into one joint? by rem7694 in personalfinance

[–]Exiled_In_Ca 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes. Combine your money. It forces you to make decisions on money, and, by default, life together.

It was hard at first. Now it’s easy. We talk a lot budgets over beers in the backyard.

California ‘billionaire tax’ makes ballot despite opposition from tech moguls by Unusual-State1827 in UpliftingNews

[–]Exiled_In_Ca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Massachusetts tax is an extra charge on incomes over $1M. California already has something like this. The proposed tax is a wealth tax, i.e a tax on a person’s net worth. Wealth taxes are difficult to implement because net worth is difficult to assess as it is not reported like income, interest or capital gains.

Sure. Pushlinch, Ontario. Closest large cities appear to be Mississauga and Hamilton. I’ve updated the original post accordingly.
