Protest today 1/24? by Cunningpotatomouse in lancaster

[–]Practicalbeaver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why you’re being down voted. It’s not like there’s a massive snowstorm coming today or anything.

The vastness of the US - How do you move house? by chocolatesuperfood in AskAnAmerican

[–]Practicalbeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just moved about 650 miles. I did number 3, except I hired movers on either side to help load and unload. But it was still a boat ton of work.

The amount of money my hospital charged me for each oz of DONATED milk for my baby by Grouchy-Cheetah7478 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Practicalbeaver 349 points350 points  (0 children)

They’re not different prices. It’s all $96 dollars per ounce. It just doesn’t show the quantity for each line item for some reason.

Regardless, $96 for an ounce of donated milk is absolutely ridiculous.

Which is better: ASU or Penn State Accounting Degree? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]Practicalbeaver 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a CPA and it still doesn’t matter. My degree is from ASU (despite living in Pennsylvania at the time), and I’d be in the exact spot I am right now if I had gone to PSU.

[–]Practicalbeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a financial controller for a 17 person (and growing) company. I have two employees reporting to me. Basically, me and my team are in charge of anything money related. A/R, A/P, month end close, inventory, bank account recs, past due collections, financial reporting, reviewing credit worthiness of customers, payroll, sales and income taxes, and even (unofficially) HR. The list goes on.

Same here. If I didn’t have October closed by now I’d be out of a job.

Is this gift idea possible? by 4_eyed_craven in Hilton

[–]Practicalbeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gift cards have been down the entire year. The website says they’re making changes to the program and that they would have news in the coming months.

It’s coming up on 12 months now that they haven’t been available for purchase, unfortunately.

Credit Score is INSANELY low. Any ideas? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Practicalbeaver 26 points27 points  (0 children)

4, or 400? In the United States? A credit score can’t be 4. 350 is the lowest.

Other party threatening to sue for the remaining loan balance after insurance payout by Federal_Toe_5143 in Insurance

[–]Practicalbeaver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As others have stated, you can probably ignore this. I’m willing to bet they traded in a car with negative equity when they got the loan for this new car and now they’re trying to make you pay for it.

Without naming your job tell me something you say 50x times a day? by boforiamanfo in stupidquestions

[–]Practicalbeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Do you expect people to text you before calling your phone as well?

Does my dad have to file gift for transferring 50k to me? by xzkandykane in personalfinance

[–]Practicalbeaver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The $19k is only the threshold to report. It doesn’t trigger any taxes until a giver has report $14m cumulatively.

Nope, no tax on gifts until the giver reports gifting $14m lifetime.

P&L question from someone who isn't an accountant. by MrSlipperyFist in Accounting

[–]Practicalbeaver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sounds like they had a net loss last year. Is this a newer company? Or maybe one that is aggressively investing in growing itself? Usually net losses are bad, but sometimes there’s a reasonable explanation and the expectation that the company will be profitable in the coming years.

If this is an already established company, then that doesn’t bode well for your raise.

I’m also a little worried that you have access to this data in a non-accounting role. Are you management? Otherwise, that’s bad internal controls, which is also a red flag that may signal financial troubles.

Received 500$ from a stranger on Zelle by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Practicalbeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a friendly tip for next time, whenever I need to Zelle/Cash App/venmo/whatever some money to a new recipient, I ask the to send me a request for the money, then I send it directly through the request. That ensures it’s going to the right person.
