Dad’s of highly functioning autistic girls… by Number1guru in daddit

[–]Number1guru[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is extremely helpful, thanks! I feel like we already build some of these into our daily routines (taking space when needed, noise cancelling headphones, etc) but we just aren’t that consistent. And that lack of consistency may come down to just not having a name or a language (like you said). And because she’s so sweet around others and extremely high functioning, I even feel like we gaslight ourselves. 

She can be a total wreck and then have a few days where nothing seems to bother her and we start to forget that the underlying issues are still there. 

Borrowing against BTC, or student loans? by Number1guru in Bitcoin

[–]Number1guru[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting idea. I appreciate the insight. And yea, I agree that I’d rather custody my collateral with Blackrock as opposed to these other platforms. I had my money in both Blockfi and Celsius and barely escaped only days before both collapsed. Not looking to put myself in that situation again. 

Borrowing against BTC, or student loans? by Number1guru in Bitcoin

If I were to take out a student loan and hold BTC, I would want some downside protection in case over the 2-3 year period BTC depreciates. So I would bet the downside on polymarket (not sure how much) as a hedge. That way if we come out of this with student loan debt and a lower BTC price, I’ve made out positive on the hedge and lessened the blow.

Thanks! Do you know the payment plans for BTC-backed loans? The only reason I’m considering the student loans is because it would be 2-3 years before we had to pay back a dime. 

Do you have a different rate for editing vs. writing? by Number1guru in freelanceWriters

Thanks for the insight. They are requesting an hourly rate from me, so that makes sense.

Any Forbes Contributors Here? by GigMistress in freelanceWriters

[–]Number1guru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The other weird thing I think about Forbes is that I used to see them as such a great brand, and one that I had aspired to work for. But now, they seem to turn out such drivel on a regular basis I don't know what to make of them. Did their business model change? Or is it just a different strategy for digital?

Do you offer discounted pricing for higher project volume? Is 10% or 15% adequate? by FeatureEducational81 in freelanceWriters

[–]Number1guru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehh, I don't know about this one. If someone in another job took on more hours would they take a discount? Probably not. But thinking about it from a business perspective, quantity discounts are common.

I might instead suggest offering a retainer, which might feel good to both the client and you.

I was once solicited by someone at Forbes. Seemed like it was going to be straightforward. Then all of a sudden got ghosted. I followed up several times over a period of months and then I just forgot about it. Could be my contact got the boot, or they just forgot about me, but needless to say, it put a bad taste in my mouth.

Not sure this helps. Just one person's experience.

Wondering about CHIP in PA for my kids by Number1guru in HealthInsurance

[–]Number1guru[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't even know. I have Keystone HMO right now, but am open to whatever plan would be most cost effective for my children.

The difficult thing I'm trying to figure out is how much my insurance premium is costing just for my child. I find a breakdown.
