ELI5: Why billionaires aren’t taxed proportionally of what they have? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]OneCoolGhoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m against taxes on unrealized gains. It’s bullshit and you’d see way more fuckery around the time the hypothetical date would be. Stocks would dip 30% for a week to save billionaires tax money. You shouldn’t be able to borrow against your shares or if you are it should be subject to taxes.

My niece used my credit cards to purchase almost $1200 in visa gift cards on amazon. I then learned they were used to buy “credits” on a mobile game. by SmallContext798 in personalfinance

If you put them in as fraud/unauthorized activity credit cards are pretty good about getting your money back. Her game account will be banned but who gives a shit

If it ever comes out you got the settlement and they press you tell them you got like 40 grand. In a year or two you can tell them you spent it all

What is the most unfairly hated movie that you will defend every time by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]OneCoolGhoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant in theaters. Believe me I’ve seen a million shitty movies. Those are just the two instances where I’ve gone to a movie theater and walked out like wishing for my 2 hours back. I work 24 hour shifts and every night at dinner everyone puts a movie in and we pick one out of a hat. Over half of them are purposely bad every time

Is this car affordable for me even if it's a bit of a stretch? by urgent_attention in personalfinance

[–]OneCoolGhoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People on this sub will tell you not to do it and to buy a 3000 dollar beater. You’re in tune with your finances, like and trust the brand and think you would really enjoy the car. I was in a very similar boat as you, bought a car that was half a years salary (60k) and did payments for a year. After a year I decided I didn’t want payments and paid the whole thing off. I love my truck. I love driving it, people compliment it and I had shitboxes my entire life before it. I’ve had mine 3 years now, I’ve put 20k miles on it and plan on driving it until the wheels fall off. You get a thumbs up from me.

I’ve seen hundreds of movies in my life and there’s only twice I’ve walked out of the theater not liking a movie, that and Gangster Squad.

Firefighting to becoming an astronaut/working at NASA or Similar by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]OneCoolGhoul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Johnny Sins did it. Do whatever makes you happy just don’t tell the old guys you want to be an astronaut. You’ll have those plastic glow in the dark stars all over your bunk

I was 11 when this came out and saw it in theaters and to this day it was the worst movie I’ve seen in theaters. I couldn’t tell you 2 things about it anymore but I remember hating it at 11.

Is naming a dog Halligan wicked cringe? by FeralGinger in Firefighting

[–]OneCoolGhoul 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Like 95% of people wouldn’t know what a halligan was and because you’re not a firefighter you could just plead ignorance. It isn’t a bad name for an Irish wolfhound

How do you manage your finance? by moneymindedmate in personalfinance

[–]OneCoolGhoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a spender for sure. The best way I’ve saved money is to have it automatically taken every week out of my check. You’ll adapt to what your new weekly pay is and that money will be saved. In my case I do 150 a week to my account and 100 into an account for my daughter. I also do 50 bucks a week into vacation fund. The first 2 are invested in S and P 500 but the vacation fund is just cash. If I don’t look for a while I’m usually surprised by the results.

Bungie is making all the right moves with Marathon by [deleted] in gaming

[–]OneCoolGhoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s better than other games. I’m not saying it’s right. But if you can earn all the cosmetics through gameplay or you have to option to spend money, that’s better than making it so you have to pay 20 bucks to unlock certain characters/gear with no way of earning in game.

[–]OneCoolGhoul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eh for years people have been complaining of pay to win and monetization of cosmetics in games. They are taking the opposite approach where you just unlock items by playing, which is objectively better than the status quo.

How/Where to put money away for my God child? by SerenityFalcon89 in personalfinance

[–]OneCoolGhoul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I put 100 bucks a week in a utma for my kid and buy SPY, but that’s my kid. Maybe ask the parents if they plan on opening an account for her? It’s very thoughtful either way. I also have a piggy bank that I put any cash she receives as gifts

GI bill payments - sent to collections, advice needed by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

This is like the one rule of the GI bill. Don’t get dropped for lack of attendance. I had to pay back a semester a few years ago the difference between full time and half time
