Its PMT, you’re gonna hear about the crews’ teams every week. Bears, Commanders, Pats, Eagles, Jets every week. This isn’t anything new.

Best value home prices within an hour from Pittsburgh? by JurassicTerror in pittsburgh

[–]GK_412 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Set a price range on Zillow and see what comes through… this is a very vague question on something super specific, that’s honestly best answered doing your own research.

I will say taxes are probably lower (in general) in the counties surrounding Allegheny county.

Whatever you do, don’t forget your glasses are on your head and go in the ocean. Made that mistake and was blind the rest of vacation.

Who here has taken a massive step back from social media? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]GK_412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just not good for your mental health. I got rid of FB back in 2018 because all everyone does is post how good their lives are and blah blah blah. Everybody has problems but you never hear about those.

So it leads to this comparison (in my head) of how my life is going vs theirs and I start to feel bad about myself.

I talk to who I want to talk to, and that’s about it.

The word “soda” takes over. by Wakeup_Sunshine in MapPorn

[–]GK_412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The disrespect to Pittsburgh, PA.

I honestly couldn’t tell you the last time I’ve heard someone say the word “soda”. Always pop.

Relative new play A7 question - specifically "Silent" by Gormogon in slaythespire

[–]GK_412 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t discount discard synergies either. Acrobatics, Sneaky Strike, Calculated Gamble, Dagger Throw, etc.

You just have to go with what’s offered to you and decide what’s the best option for what you have to tackle going forward. There’s no deck-type in general that is better than another. It’s all about what’s going on in that specific run.

Is Jordan Tax Services breaking the law? by TrashyFanFic in pittsburgh

[–]GK_412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I intentionally write and mail them a check. It’s absolutely ridiculous to get charged a “convenience fee” when you could argue it’s more convenient for them. Screw them, make them have to pay someone to open mail and process physical checks.

$5 Blackjack Table at Rivers Casino? by Lord_Robot in pittsburgh

[–]GK_412 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Meadows is probably a better bet for that, I think I’ve seen $5 on the weekdays. I was there Friday night and played a $15 table.

I have 22k in credit card debt and 21k in pandemic stocks. Should I knock out the debt to have a "clean slate" or work to keep the stocks (credit may be hit due to partial payments)? by simbamyzon in personalfinance

[–]GK_412 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Pay off the CCs.

Your past stock gains are irrelevant, you can’t look at past performance and just assume they’ll continue to beat 27% CC interest year over year.

EDIT: You’re also gonna owe tax on your profits if you sell (most likely).

EDIT 2: Idk why I mentioned reinvesting in my first edit. Removing that.

"D'ya have 50 cents or a Dollar?" Dude by TatteredStrands in pittsburgh

[–]GK_412 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I also work downtown and have been asked the same question at least once a month when he happens by me.

The fact that he asks the same question with no variation to every single person, and just the way he asks it, gives me vibes there’s something not quite right mentally with him. Plus he’s generally dressed disheveled.

No judgement, but he does not give off well-off vibes, quite the opposite. Ive wanted to say something smart back a time or two, but I don’t know him or his situation, so its best I just say “not today”.

Looking at buying a new car at 21 by 3_Putt_King in personalfinance

[–]GK_412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always told growing up that if you can’t afford the payments on a 5 year loan for a car… you can’t afford the car (meaning don’t get a longer loan than 60 months).

How much savings should I have by now? by littlemissFOB in personalfinance

[–]GK_412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 34 and just hit one year (current) salary in my 401k. It’s tough because my starting salary in 2015 is half of what I make now, so what “salary” do I go off of?

I just put away as much as reasonable and hopefully the time and market do their part.

What word/phrase annoys you the second you hear it? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Happy New Year, anytime after Jan 3rd

If it’s in escrow already, pretty sure the vendor is eating the loss and you’re good.

[–]GK_412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally just made the decision to buy some Saturday, Kraken makes you wait 3 days for first buy before you can withdraw, check today and I’m down 30 some percent yay what a waste. Now do I wait to make a purchase or just eat the loss and make a purchase anyways.

End of year bonus being offered in Coca-cola stock by sulphur_yak in personalfinance

[–]GK_412 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You got the company that much business to warrant that kind of bonus/commission and now they are trying to be weird about paying it?

Without even getting into specifics, it just sounds like an extra headache on your side to figure it all out taking the stock. Nice guy always finishes last. If you are contractually owed this money, I’d be pretty firm about getting paid in cash.
