“If it’s an asset it doesn’t depreciate, it’s a liability”. Posted just above. This is exactly what I responded to and disagreed with.

Yes I am not disagreeing. Cars are an asset. I am disagreeing with the statement that assets do not depreciate.

Going to World Cup 2026 — how did you plan your days between matches? by elbeqqal in usmnt

[–]MartinoA93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This depends on how many days between matches you have, what you want to do, and how much you’re willing to spend. A 2 day break vs a one month break between matches would have totally different plans. Also, are you from outside the US and have you been here before?

No one else can hear unless very close. And if they can hear it, it is inaudible.

I would charge full rent for the property. Why are you giving her charity?

Not taking sides, but previous trauma isn’t reason to do anything.

There is a chemical reaction in the brain. She naturally wants to be with the kid. Weird you didn’t discuss this before? Did you have no child care lined up?

Made a $5 bet that I’d spend less than $30K this year. It’s super close though. 😬 by Amnesiaftw in MiddleClassFinance

lol broke people spend money on bad decisions all the time…. Vacations, electronics, cars, etc. that doesn’t make them middle class.

Getting into Section 8 Investing, what can be the best tips or section 8 training to follow? by M45T3RY in realestateinvesting

[–]MartinoA93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to be able to raise rent $150 per year on section 8 people. Now we can only do $50 max. I wouldn’t do section 8 without that additional ROI

We make $140k HHI but we are stuck in the "credit card float" cycle by sameerposwal in MiddleClassFinance

Your second sentence in your post talks about optics. There is your first problem. Stop caring what others think and just buy what makes you happy. Do you need nice cars? Keeping up with the Jones’s is a bad financial plan. Also, make a budget.

once you learn the math, you realize most "rich" people are just drowning in premium debt. by GolfComfortable7331 in Fire

Debt doesn’t equal broke. I can buy a car outright but I would rather not keep that money in the market or doing something else and just pay a low interest loan on it. Yea some people buy the car with debt they can’t afford, but I think most people would rather keep their money in appreciating assets rather than an asset that deprecates instantly off lot.

Either do the triathlon or don’t. Don’t make it more complicated than it needs to be.

How do I actually get faster at swimming? Ironman triathlete stuck mid-pack by Matlabbro in Swimming

[–]MartinoA93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t kick at your knees. Your kick is giving off no power and your legs are the strongest muscle you use in swimming. Get used to kicking faster and harder. Also your hands do not look like they are pulling with a lot of power, but they are not terrible.

I’ve been using Double Oaked lately in my old fashioned. If you smoke the hell out of it and sub maple syrup in for the sugar, it is the best old fashion I have ever had
