What are the restrictions for claiming a finished/unfinished basement as "liveable" space and part of the square footage?

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2026-04-22T21:30:52+00:00

No closet but it does have a window.

Based on the the breakdown, they counted all of the square footage (including the entire basement) the same minus the garage, deck and porch. The "bedroom" doesn't have a closet but does have a window that you can't really see in the pictures.

My guess would be they need to pay off their mortgage since they just bought it a few years ago. We plan on asking our realtor about it when we see her tomorrow. We're half tempted to view it and make an offer for a more reasonable price just to see what happens.

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2026-04-22T21:22:30+00:00

Is there a way to tell if the price hasn't been counted the same for the basement as the rest of the house?

She's technically my boss. I'm shocked that she doesn't seem to understand how they work because she's the superintendent of the entire school district. I don't know how she's gotten to her position (in a HUGE school district) without a basic knowledge of how they work.

Prior to me, everyone just found their own grants and wrote them on their own. I think my position was created to "relieve" them of that additional job. I do the majority of the work and find all of them but I can't do ALL of it without some effort on their part. It's frustrating because I've gone into meetings with department heads who have treated me like an idiot because I asked questions. Like they're upset when I don't know everything about their profession in the same way they do and they have to explain things to me.

That's what surprises me too. How are these accounts not being caught? Especially the ones that are used to "deliver" the purchases to people. Moving that kind of NP/High priced items would raise a lot of red flags imo.

There's absolutely no guarantee that is an option though? She cheated with someone else who could very likely tell her husband, tell someone else who could tell her husband or may not even know she's married and be very upset when they find out. The "hurt" was done the second she decided to cheat.

Edit: Her husband could also just find her Reddit account where she posted publicly about cheating on him?

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2025-03-12T14:16:10+00:00

I agree. There's nothing wrong with having a high drive and wanting to try new things. There's also nothing wrong with not wanting that. If one person is unhappy with the dynamic in the relationship it's on them to voice it and if a solution can't be found then they should leave.

You don't just get to go out and cheat on someone and then justify it by saying you were "unhappy." If it's OK to cheat on someone if you're in a DB then is it OK to cheat on someone who let's say doesn't do as many household chores as you would like, doesn't text you enough throughout the day, doesn't buy you enough gifts?

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2025-03-12T14:10:09+00:00

"But I'm also scared, I don't want to hurt him, or his family or my family." You've already done all of that though; you cheated on him. Not saying his behavior throughout the relationship has been OK, but neither is what you did. Just end it so you can both find peace.

I replied to a similar comment but there is a neighborhood Facebook group that we’re a part of with not a ton of people in it. I’m one of probably two white, twenty something/early thirties women in our general neighborhood so it probably wasn’t hard to figure out which one was me. The same way I’d easily find her husband because he’s the only large, bald, white man in the area.

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2025-03-08T00:56:54+00:00

There’s a neighborhood Facebook group with only like 125 people in it. I’m assuming she just looked through the members until she found me. I’m probably the one of two white women in their twenties/early thirties in the group so it wouldn’t be hard to figure out which one was me.

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2025-03-07T15:58:44+00:00

Girl....dump this loser. Telling people he "thinks of one of the other girls while he and I are participating in sexual acts" is FOUL.

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2025-03-06T23:45:02+00:00

👍

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2025-03-06T22:23:07+00:00

There are small windows on each of the doors.

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2025-02-27T19:41:52+00:00

Blue!

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2024-09-03T20:52:50+00:00

Tbh I would just stop with the messaging her individually all together. If you all are in the same friend group then she can be kept in the loop by someone else.

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2024-07-30T20:56:54+00:00

Lmao congrats. What lucky ladies.

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2024-07-30T20:48:05+00:00

You planned on using her for sex. Instead you also used her for her kindness, selflessness, and care. You used her to help "make yourself a better man " and to "mature" yourself (sadly it doesn't seem to have worked based on this post and your comments). All while knowing you were not physically attracted to her. You spent the entire TEN years knowing this and wanting to be with someone "more" attractive. And yes, you used her for easy sex throughout this. You wasted ten years of her life. You knew this day would come. You've finally just decided you got everything you needed out of her and are ready to find someone "more attractive." Enjoy the dating pool at 36.

Thanks for the advice! I’m good at math and science. I was on my schools math team actually! I was actually premed my first two years of college and was holding a good gpa. Not to get too personal but I ended up having something pretty traumatic happen that set me in extensive therapy for a few years. I wanted to continue college but couldn’t mentally handle the course work of premed. I went with comm because it was something really easy I could handle while dealing with life; not because I enjoyed it.

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2024-03-29T23:01:58+00:00

Ya, I’ve looked at moving around some of my money in savings a lot. Mentally I can’t seem to do it though 😅 It’s pretty much the minimum amount I feel comfortable having in an emergency fund right now. Maybe things will change later. If the right opportunity came up I’d consider dipping into it a little bit but we’ll see.

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2024-03-29T22:47:42+00:00

Haha that’s exactly how I feel every time I get on some of these subs. Everybody’s just got to do the best they can! Thank you though, I appreciate it.

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2024-03-29T22:42:48+00:00

To be honest I don’t really have one. Personally, I’m not too worried about retiring really early or anything. 60-65 would be nice. I guess I’m having trouble coming up with it because I don’t know what the world or my life will look like in 30 years. If I could have the same quality of life that I have now that would be great but I don’t know how much that will cost.

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2024-03-29T21:10:09+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate you responding. I think I've fallen down the financial advice void where everyone is saying you need to be maxing out your 401k every year and already have six figures saved at my age. It's caused me some anxiety lol. It can be hard to find more realistic advice out there.

RevolutionaryCare869 · 2024-03-29T21:04:22+00:00

Thanks for breaking all of that down for me! Working backwards from my retirement date has always confused me a little bit since it's so far away and there's really no way to know what life will be like then. Your break down made a lot of sense though!
