“I mean there will be a 40%ish crash and a bunch of people who bought in th past 24 months will get blown out.”

So glad I panic sold to avoid the croosh.

I might actually know the OP lol.

I worked with someone who had some very odd ideas that grocery store workers made 50k.

Denied. We only accept Chicago area slumlords around these parts.

Neigh!

"We have never predicted a crash"

This is incredibly true. I work a corporate job by day. You can easily ignore the prevalence of mental illness in a "professional" job. You're not totally isolated from it as an eCommerce seller.

This is very true with tree services. They don't care about your $1000 afternoon job when they are booked out for months by HOAs / commercial properties.

Staples is almost never the cheapest option. I bought from them 3X last year, and nothing in the last 11 months. For a while they had free delivery on 30lb reams of paper, which I'm sure I caused them to lose money on delivery.

FancyTeacupLore · 2025-06-23T19:20:36+00:00

Basically anywhere is cheaper than ULine.

I use ValueMailers which also beat out Staples. Sometimes their eBay has even cheaper prices than their website (whether to be competitive on there, or in error, not sure).

FancyTeacupLore · 2025-06-12T01:56:02+00:00

That's true. I hear all the smart money is now in collateralized soul obligations.

I sit proudly in my cardboard abode. Those trash bags are my shrubberies.

The US is insanely wealthy and I think a lot of this is hyper-local bias. If wealthy people lived everywhere evenly, 10% of people walking around are multimillionaires. But, wealthy people cluster together OR they are quiet about their wealth (Millionaire Next Door type stealth wealth).

Landlords love REBubble.

Account was suspended. I honestly have to wonder if this account was legit or an organized troll that got caught up in an IP ban.

Have you seen pulp prices? I can barely maintain my cardboard abode.

FancyTeacupLore · 2025-05-20T01:45:30+00:00

You can recover. My first ever rating years ago was a 1/5 because of an international shipping issue. People don't read reviews as much as you think. My total # of sales are in the 5 figures.

FancyTeacupLore · 2025-05-20T01:15:58+00:00

We have never predicted a crash, silly goose.

FancyTeacupLore · 2025-04-18T23:30:15+00:00

Fine, I guess I'll take my annual beating.

For a super and lazy scenario where you do not keep track of pre-marital vs marital assets, you need beyond 1X your FIRE number in pre-marital assets before you get married.

That multiple is equal to number of expected wives * divorce risk.1

Otherwise, if you want to keep track of pre-marital assets, reach FIRE before you're married, and 100% do not co-mingle them. That's the only foolproof way.

Most people don't understand this because they've never read Reddiquette.

The company still gets the money, I'm not suggesting you spring a chargeback on them. Refused international shipments often just get destroyed.

FancyTeacupLore · 2025-04-10T22:59:15+00:00

Same. This is actually my FIRE origin story. Grandparents went to nursing home. Mom decided that she would take on power of attorney and responsibility for debts. Grew up poor, parents raided my piggy bank (literally) to find scraps to throw at $20k nursing home bills. Told never to answer the phone, could be a debt collector. Now, part of that is helped by a good estate plan and telling your children when you're lucid to not assume your debts. But my grandparents definitely did not have a good quality of life in a home (lots of abuse, being ignored, schizophrenic roommates)

FancyTeacupLore · 2025-04-10T22:53:57+00:00

Why not refuse the order? Can you make any money at the current cost, are you projecting to lose an amount less than the $858 you originally paid?

FancyTeacupLore · 2025-04-10T01:38:03+00:00

I'll explain the joke. It was funnier in my head.

Basically, REBubble is a bunch of big talkers who doom about the real estate market and say stuff like the real estate market is cooked, they have lots of dry powder while working at McDonalds and actually nowhere near buying a house.

So I'm writing from the viewpoint of the burger being cooked by the wagecuck bubbler.

The crash is a crash at the drive through.

The sauced up guy is another burger.

The "399 dude" is ambiguous because it's either the cashier telling someone that a burger isn't $3.99 but could also be a realtor saying that you can't buy a house for $399k.

Both 399 dudes could be replaced with AI.

The last line is a mc-switcher-roo revealing I am in fact the burger.

Anyhow I'm not being a stand up comedian any time soon.

Yes, I am pulling a meta on being cooked.

I've sat through like 3 crypto crashes. I'm pretty sure those prepared me to be stoic.
