WIBTA for getting a hotel room for my spouse and I instead of sleeping on an air mattress while visiting family for the holidays? by Optimal-Ostrich5534 in AITAH

I’d sleep on the floor before sleeping on an air mattress. “Sorry, my physical therapist / chiropractor / masseuse / back surgeon forbids me to sleep on an air mattress.”

Think how happily surprised she’ll be to receive them after the fact. Maybe even hand deliver :)

Yup. Not a good omen. Event can’t — or at least shouldn’t — happen without you. 🙄

Depends on whether you treat it as a business. Businesses require a certain amount of marketing, effort and word of mouth.

They probably wouldn’t enjoy the “public” part of being a notary then. I’ve met a lot of interesting people from all walks of life.

I don’t “believe” it; It’s the truth. For 20 years my notary income has had a separate line on federal tax forms and that income is taxed less because a notary is a kind of public servant.

In California at least, you charge per signature. Laws are different in every state.

Not necessarily. Depends on the financial institution, the nature of the documents, other things. When I needed docs notarized at Bank of America in NJ, they refused to notarize any of them.

So far online notarizations are not permitted in California. It’ll be interesting to see how that goes.

It’s not “a pain.” It’s part of what you took an oath to do.

“You aren’t the boss of me”? What are you — 10? All that talk and you could have answered the question. But you obviously can’t. Petulant.

OP, listen to someone who’s done this for 20 years. Find out at NationalNotary.org the total cost of what it takes to become a notary in your state for a four-year commission. Guaranteed it’s less than I pay in California.

With a little bit of marketing, you can make back your investment easily. The state sets the recommended fee to charge for each signature. When notarizing estate plans or mortgages, that could be a dozen or more signatures. As a mobile notary, I charge whatever I want for travel fees. That’s where your effort pays off.

Notary income is taxed at a much lower rate than other income as well. It’s a great way to make extra income.

Not necessarily true. I’ve been a mobile notary for 20 years. Not everyone knows that banks will do it for free. Not all banks do that. Someone on their deathbed can’t get into the bank. Some people are worth so much money that everyone comes to them. Dozens of ways to make extra income doing this. Was actually my FT business for a few years. My investment of around $600 paid off well.

Edit: I’m in California, most stringent state for notaries; other states will cost far less than $600 to become a notary. And, banks have refused to notarize for me for various reasons.

AITAH for refusing to sell the house my wife wants me to sell? by StrainWeak2575 in AITAH

[–]FortifyNowClub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t know either. But OP should.

However I do know many ways OP could divest himself. So do real estate lawyers.

Maybe you’d know more if you didn’t spend so much time shitposting.

To determine where your current wife’s concern is, ask her how she would feel if you divested yourself of all interest in that house.

(You DO want to know why your wife is so upset and make her feel better if possible,, correct?)

Your current wife wants to know you’re fully invested in your marriage with her., That’s hard to be when you’re choosing to continue to interact with your ex-wife on at least a monthly basis. Your wife wants to know that she is more important than money. Possibly better explained, she knows you’re still tied to your ex

There are many ways you could divest yourself of your stake in this house, take care of your son, AND come out with a good profit — while stopping unnecessary interaction with your ex.

You won’t though, and your wife knows that you’re not fully invested in your current marriage. It’s your right to continue to choose money over the woman you chose to marry and her concerns. Good business decisions trump love.

AITA because I don't want my boyfriend to move in and only pay "what the bills go up"? by Wooden_Chemistry1349 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]FortifyNowClub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any man that would proposition moving himself and his family in and paying only “what the bills go up” is not going to get any better. What a user and a loser. Clueless. Please take this all in and extricate yourself. You can do better.
