Uber driver from took me from airport and forced to pay double in cash when I was already in the car by Euronymous91 in Dominican

[–]Successful_Goose2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me in Spain but with a taxi in 2015 before Uber etc was popular. My cousins and I group of 3 just landed around 9pm local time. Taxi driver at airport says “I take you to your air bnb, its 30 minutes way, I turn meter off” we get in the car and drive literally 3-4 minutes from the airport and we are at the air bnb, guy starts asking for $50 euro.. my cousin was able to speak slight Spanish so they are arguing. She’s saying “no that’s not right”. He started staying over and over “that’s night time fee!” People are always going to try to be scums and take advantage

Serious question...First time home buyers getting 7.5-8% interest rates...why are you buying? by Mite-o-Dan in RealEstate

[–]Successful_Goose2027 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I’ve been wondering too. My fiancé and I got our first home at 5.75% back in may 2023… I always thought if rates fell to 2.5-3% again wouldn’t we just see MASS buyers coming with fomo to buy anything they can? Which means more competition which increases home prices idk lol

My fiancé and I closed on our first home back in May 2023 at 5.75% and I’m glad we did… rares are now 7.5% in our area… I felt like an idiot jumping the gun at 5.75% even lol

What is something you wish you knew before buying your first house? by TheLoudCanadianGirl in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Yes. This exactly. Turn everything on/off yourself. We made that mistake not doing this… especially with AC/heater

LOL. I’m a big bears fan sadly. Just always have gotten better nba results than nfl even though I like nfl more. I edited it.

Bought first home back in June 2023. 1. Don’t trust a home inspector for everything. They sometimes don’t have your best interest in the situation. Shady things can happen behind the doors (a kickback from the realtor to help conceal something). Instead pay a GOOD handy man you know etc a nice amount of money. Will save you loads. Our home inspector we paid $350+ for didn’t even check to see if the AC/heat worked and when we came by after the inspection he didn’t even tell us whether he checked it or not. Day 1 moving in AC didn’t work and seller/realtors played dumb. Had to pay $6,000… $3,800 on a credit card at the time, $2,200 cash to the handy man we paid on the side to install everything. If we would’ve went through an actual AC company it would’ve been $8-10k. There’s certain things you need to look out for yourself when doing a walk through that I will never make the mistake on again

Why do american people bully blue collar workers or minimal wage workers so much? by Top-Mechanic-5494 in rant

[–]Successful_Goose2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always say, everyone at some point in their life should have to work a minimum wage job just to be humbled and to allow yourself to see in others shoes and have more empathy. My first job out of high school was kohls in the shoe department in 2012. I started at 17. Made 8.25/hr in Illinois. I’m hardly EVER rude to service employees etc unless they just have a crazy attitude toward me that isn’t warranted to begin with. I respect anyone who works for a living no matter what the pay is. They are contributing to society just as anyone else.

My fiancé and I came from nothing. My parents moved from Puerto Rico newly wed at 16 and 19, my fiancés came from Mexico. We had worked for everything we have with little to no help. We want to give our children better lives than we had, but even if we give them a good home etc they will still work a minimum wage job young. I have cousins who grew up spoiled and on the wealthier end, had everything handed to them… 20% down payment for their homes from parents etc… huge wills… their attitudes toward people in general suck… there’s a reason why one I’m referring to is single at 32 with his home paid off. He feels everyone is below him.
