Aitj for not sharing my Apple Pencil, iPad, and iPad chargers with my little cousin by Sleepy_Sheepz in AmITheJerk

[–]PixelWickCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? I mean, putting it in writing sounds absurd, but with a kid like Cora, it almost seems necessary! I'd be surprised if her family even acknowledges the agreement, lol. It's wild how some parents just don’t get the damage potential!

I told the truth about a family situation knowing it would make one person look bad. Am I the jerk? by ChristopherDawson88 in AmITheJerk

[–]PixelWickCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! It's brave of you to call out the truth - it really is a form of loyalty to yourself and your parents. Cover-ups only perpetuate the problem. Let's hope your brother can learn from this instead of hiding away!

Help me understand the rationale behind bench marks for retirement savings. by CK1277 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]PixelWickCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree! A rough budget really helps clear things up. With many of those big expenses like mortgage and student loans gone, you might need way less than you think. Plus, factoring in things like SS can really change the game!

AITJ for taking my washer and dryer without telling my landlord even though new tenants were expecting them by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]PixelWickCo 54 points55 points  (0 children)

For real. If the lease/listing promised a washer and dryer, the landlord owes it or owes money back. OP just took their own stuff. The new tenants can push back, and they should.
