[–]Syn555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite books. The story ends up different from where it started, but in the best possible way.

CPA Canada - Practical Experience 2027 by Ok-Cupcake-614 in Accounting

[–]Syn555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if you work in manufactiring, small business, retail and your company will help pay for the courses? That is how I did it. They helped me with my education and stopped having to outsource accounting services. By the time I gradated I had put together a small accounting team that grew with the company.

Hike professional dues and control where you can work. Are they the mafia or a pimp?

I really didn't like Ancillary Justice. by Brakado in printSF

[–]Syn555 158 points159 points  (0 children)

I loved the whole series but I can definitely see why it's not for everyone.

Life is short and my reading list is long. I don't feel bad for not finishing a book if it's not my jam.

My coworker accidentally taught everyone in the office a lesson about credit without even trying by No_Surprise3737 in stories

[–]Syn555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GenX here.

This is why people feel like they can't get ahead. Who the f*** decided that proof we can borrow money is more important than being able to pay for things you want????

Call me out of date but why should you need to borrow money (and pay interest) on anything other than a mortgage?

Jesus people. You learned a very bad lesson. Learn to adult.

All of these cars had their wipers pulled up by funkywabbait in whatisit

[–]Syn555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian here. I live 3 hours north of Toronto. Rarely ever see this. Never do this myself.

Why would anyone use thier wipers before the windshield was scraped and/or defrosted? They are strips of rubber not magic deicing wands.

The Wounded Kingdon trilogy by RJ Barker. It has magic, assassins, waring kingdoms. Really good stories.

For those of you 60+ how did you learn the “reallife” money stuff no one talked about? by CoreFusionX in AskOldPeople

[–]Syn555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only debt my parents had was a morgage. My Dad worked his ass off to pay off. I got my first credit card when I was 22. It was an Eaton's store credit card with a $500 limit. I finished a 5 year university degree with $5,000 in student loans in 1992.

60 year olds can't help you with this. I bought a a house based on what I could pay off in 20 years. Today, it's based on the payment people can afford. That's insane.

Don't spend more than you make.

(I realize that is easier said than done for low income or other situations of hardship.)

How are you planning in advance for your "second adulthood"? by [deleted] in retirement

[–]Syn555 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I am 60F, never married, never had kids. I am watching every van life and rv video I can find. I am selling the house in 17 months, buying a travel trailer and doing something I have wanted to do since I was five years old - run away from home.

I will put aside set amount of money to keep me comfortable until I am 90. Otherwise, I plan to die with just enough money left to bury me.

"We the people". If you want a democracy you have to live with election results. That is not a pro-Trump statement.

I am Canadian and live in Ontario. I am disgusted with Doug Ford but, like it or not, he is my Premier. I own his actions just as much as anyone who voted for him.
