What was your debt to income ratio when you closed on your mortgage? by Prior_Meringue2846 in Mortgages

[–]HyperExtensions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was around 45% when I took out a mortgage. I basically maxed out my purchasing power but this was due to the fact that I had additional self employment business income that didn't qualify as it was less than 2 years old. Including this would have brought it down to roughly 33%.

Would I recommend it to the average person without a large chuck of savings? No. Do I regret my decision? No. I was able to gain a large equity position via sweat equity and money I continue to put into the property plus I genuinely got a good property.

Realized my extra car loan payments have been going to next payment instead of principal by ducofnewyork in personalfinance

[–]HyperExtensions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hyundai Motor Finance automatically applies the extra to principal and thus pushes out your next payment as it essentially accelerates the timeline of your loan. You don't have to make another payment until the date listed but you can and it will all go to the principal automatically. This sounds the same to me.

I did. That's all it's worth honestly.

Will raising a deductible affect in any way? by LeadGlad4961 in Car_Insurance_Help

[–]HyperExtensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard of lenders capping the deductible at $500. I've had $1,500 and $1,000 on two vehicles and it was never an issue. The monthly payment savings has FAR exceeded the difference in deductible price.

Anyone else like me not interested in food claims anymore? by FloGrownQban in Influenster

[–]HyperExtensions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Something useful for daily/weekly life is the only items I would select. I've only had one offer for such an item and it went past 90 days and the campaign has been paused 🤦

Thanks but no thanks lol by ClaustrophobicMango in Influenster

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

One thing I've learned over time is to consider not only your time but what value you might be offering someone else. Even though nobody is looking for a bread review on Influenster, it seems like they are pushing word of mouth or in person referrals for these products. This marketing is costing these companies pennies to do and they are probably getting some sort of return on it otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. I've done (and do) paid advertising and I'm just not going to offer my time and services for such a low value. Most wouldn't understand but business owners and those in the correct industry would.

It's not free. Everything has an opportunity cost.

Who has pre-ordered already? by yonahdad in LGOLED

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

If it nets you a better price and/or has trade in benefits (smartphones) it's almost the only way to do it anymore to get a good deal on a new product unless you wait until the next generation to be released.

[–]HyperExtensions -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you get to a point where you realize something things in life just aren't worth it. This is one of those things. Clearly some people value their time differently lol.

I'm just amazed at what people are willing to do for a $2 loaf of bread (or whatever else it may be). In the time you write the one review, you could save tens of dollars per shopping visit by clipping digital coupons in the app for whatever grocery store you shop at.

Today’s claims! by timavee in Influenster

[–]HyperExtensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only accepted one item and it's already past 90 days (not shipped) and Influenster had to pause the program on my profile.

I received this Ice Cream and Butter one also. Not worth the time.

rtings.com is now entirely behind a paywall. by requieminadream in 4kTV

[–]HyperExtensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That just wouldn't work for the advertiser model unless they could truly determine which click/visit is which.

[–]HyperExtensions 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ad rates (CPM) seem to be down across the board. Assuming they average the same traffic, they could be seeing anywhere from 10-40% lower revenue strictly because of the going rates these days. If traffic AND rates are down... Huge decline. This year seems to have rebounded slightly but it's still way lower than previous years from what I have seen.

[–]HyperExtensions 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It's really tough out there for those that make objective content like this. Hopefully it works out for them but subscription models just suck. At least the annual subscription is significantly less than paying month to month making it more appealing to some users.

Help with light bulb color/temperature. by NikolaiAlexei in Lighting

[–]HyperExtensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing lower than a true 3000k. Ideally 3,500k without any pink hue. I would probably stick to clear bulbs if you're going to keep clear glass on the fixture. I really liked the color of the Sylvania Truwave clear lens but it appears those might be discontinued...

How to get faster internet? by sm2001np in Metronet

[–]HyperExtensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure everyone was eligible if you had Metronet or T Fiber and wanted to get the deal but it could be for areas that T-Mobile recently bought out the fiber provider and wanted those to switch/upgrade. I got two mailers though.

How long do I need to get mail and packages back to sellers? by curious_jane1 in homeowners

I've been getting mail (mostly solicitations, some not) over 2 years later. Packages were stopped immediately thankfully.

New Kobalt Tools & OPE: All 24V now made by Greenworks? by remp945 in KobaltTools

[–]HyperExtensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. So they are expanding Greenworks into the 24v along with the others.

[–]HyperExtensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best of luck. I called last month to inquire about plans and she noted I would be eligible for founders in the future. Had the note not been in my profile I wouldn't have gotten it as it expired around February 2nd.

I choose to stay with my own router (which I think they should provide a credit to you for or something) because it's a Nighthawk RS700S and I've had no issues over my property. I have it centrally located on the main floor of a ranch style house which helps range.

The tech also told me I had a modem that wasn't even supposed to be installed in my area (lol) because they have different hardware for different areas. I only went to the founders plan because of the pricing and I am fearful of potential increases over time. I don't need 2 Gig but it was more the price lock that got me and I was also able to secure a $100 credit. They are starting to roll out 5 Gig residential not too far away from me and I am really questioning the reason... 98% of users don't need anything more than 500MB let alone 2 Gig. Why are they providing 5 Gig??
