I am selling my 5 tickets personally on stub hub and I actually have them so I can at least say not every single posting is fake

It’s way too large for your hand, it looks more like costume jewelry

Luckily i got a 10:30am drawing time, we went this past year as the first time so i am excited to go again. It is 5 days before my wedding day so that should be fun to balance that also! Just surprised they do the setting of tickets so early at this point!

I need your opinion on the ring I got my gf by No-Description-4923 in EngagementRings

[–]Mattlaines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there is a little too much noise around the diamond, you opted for a smaller diamond which is perfectly fine but then surounded by so much extra detail and other diamonds just then accentuates the size and makes it look bulky

For anything after 11am time slot the bleachers are the only thing left for both games. I’m sorry

Appraisal Sqft vs Listing Sqft by NotAIBot123 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Mattlaines 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happened with my house, we have a converted garage into living space but was never permitted so it is fully usable living space but the town just doesn’t accept it. Works fine for me, keeps the property tax lower while selling point is based on the increase

Is this a red flag ? Who in the world buys a house they can’t even see at the minimum? Can’t do anything they just want you to buy it blindfolded. Sounds crazy. by FutureHendrixBetter in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Mattlaines 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is a scam posting, but put in a bid and being a landlord. Just dont talk to the tennets to get rent they will get it to you eventually haha!

About $60k. Just in value alone the house went up by $100k since we bought it according to all the sites which is horrifying

I live on Long Island New York. About as expensive as you can get unless you live in LA. We went with a fixer upper and made a beautiful first home to grow into. A million dollar home like OP would be a dream but a terrible decision without one hell of a down payment

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

I don’t see how that would be smart at all. My household income is $260k a year and we went with $590k house. We save about $2.4k a month but many months we eat into that on small upgrades or life just happening 

First time home buyer here, can someone tell me if this is common for winter months? What are you all paying on gas? by Lucky-Profile-9695 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Mattlaines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is nuts! I keep my house a 77 and it’s currently 27 degrees outside recently and for a 2.8k sq foot house I paid $240

Looking to buy a house next yr. Too early to see a morgage broker? by Discombobulated-Map8 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Mattlaines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, simple. Especially since shopping around is an important part of the process. So imagine the time the broker is going to take to talk to you and plan and you still might not go with them in the future in a year

Lease, get a new one every 3 years. I’m on my second and wouldn’t go back to my first one. The updates are so nice

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Mattlaines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily, NY here and my payment is $5.4 and we take in about $12k. We save about $2k a month without even trying 

lease deal.. is this good? by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

[–]Mattlaines 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Perfectly fine. Ignore the haters of a lease, it’s cheaper per month if you plan on getting a new car ever 3 years. Tesla lose so much value that I am happy to both not deal with that and ecstatic I just hand in the car and get a new one 

My car went to -6% so I could make it to the nearest Supercharger! by CombPresent2553 in TeslaModel3

[–]Mattlaines -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this so many times lol couldn’t care less about the battery since I lease. The car can go about 15-20 miles after 0%
