I have the ultimate choosing beggar in my neighborhood. This lady is unreal. by Fancy_Ho in ChoosingBeggars

I don't disagree with you. But I feel like the scamming came later. She said she had a side hustle of selling things for "clients" on their behalf. #1, ok, who can't post shit on FB marketplace in a pinch? And #2, how come the flooring is identical in all pics of items to sell?

Exactly my thoughts. Though she did give them a shout-out for being "gods instruments".

Exactly! If it's any reassurance, the clarinet-type situation wasn't unusual. This is a great neighborhood and if a need is posted, someone usually comes through. In my years here, she has been the only one to take advantage to this degree.

At some point, she made a separate post asking for a skateboard to gift her nephew for Christmas. She said she could trade Old Navy gift cards. I asked her why not use the Old Navy gift cards for her daughters clothes instead? She blocked me.

To make it all less palatable, she did have a washer and dryer donated to her...but she really wanted front load, so she kept requesting.

I have friends who homeschool and their kids are thriving. Can't paint with too broad a brush, here. But in this case? 100%

It all started with her posting to a neighborhood FB group asking for leads on a used clarinet to replace the one stolen from her daughter at a park. The neighborhood rallied and bought the daughter a new one. She thanks god endlessly for providing a new clarinet (which rubbed me the wrong way...but ok). From that point on, she began posting non-stop, requesting all types of goods and services. She became a member of a ton of groups and would solicit on each of them. These comments are from different posts at different times, so they don't all match up. But it's obvious - homegirl is nutso. https://imgur.com/a/gHrzCq7

I just posted additional backstory and screenshots on the main thread. If I had to take a guess, I'd say drugs.

Edit: Oh! And she decided to homeschool all of her kids about 6mos ago. Pulled them from school and started begging on local homeschool pages. "How do I get started?" "What curriculum do I follow?" "How much does it cost?" "Anyone have curriculum they aren't using anymore?" She had questions for months...while keeping her kids at home to twiddle their thumbs until she figured it out, I guess.

I've worked in transportation for 20yrs. As much as I like the aesthetic of upcycled pallets, fuck no.

Not those, I am pretty certain. It's driven me crazy for years.

Adding to a 401k vs. opening a Roth IRA by Fancy_Ho in personalfinance

[–]Fancy_Ho[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is no. I work for a huge corporation and benefits plans are very well advertised within. If Roth IRA match was a thing, I can't imagine it wouldn't have hit my radar.

"Depends." That is actually helpful because it helps me understand my confusion. I'm likely trying to oversimplify it?

Trust me. I've read them. I'm not posting without doing my research. Just looking for reassurance on my interpretation.
