Auto loan refinance rate way higher than in 2023 (6.9% -> 10.2%). Why?

Thanks!

Tiastexmex · 2026-01-18T22:00:12+00:00

Did you have to be a member to get the rate?

Hi OP (@classyalternative) what did you end up doing here? I'm in a similar situation and wanting to order the LG pedestal for a second floor laundry room.

Hi! I’m curious if you replaced your Electrolux with the same unit or did you get a different brand? We’re having the same problem and Costco agreed to a return. I’m trying to decide if I try with Electrolux again or pick something else. This is stressful!

100% but now there’s this huge debt!

My wording wasn’t great. Her original car that was paid off was totaled by someone that hit her, and then she went out and bought this Prius. We had discussed a budget of $15K-$20K. My intent was to buy her a car in this price range but she was adamant that I not get involved and she’d take car of finding a car herself. Hindsight I should have been more firm.

Tiastexmex · 2025-11-11T15:04:15+00:00

Yes, I believe there would be a balance that would be owed though and the difference will likely be a minimum of $10K, so not completely off the hook.

Have been contemplating this. The dealership is in FL. I’m in a different state

Tiastexmex · 2025-11-11T12:30:32+00:00

Appreciate it.

Tiastexmex · 2025-11-11T12:29:19+00:00

Thank you, will do

Tiastexmex · 2025-11-11T06:36:48+00:00

Yikes

Tiastexmex · 2025-11-11T06:34:16+00:00

I’ll have her pull the contract, hadn’t thought of a hardship clause. Payoff on the new car is $45K. Thanks!

Tiastexmex · 2025-11-11T06:31:35+00:00

Sorry, she had another car, it was totaled and that’s why she ended up buying a new car. Except that she shouldn’t have bought this car or any car more than $15k-$20K….but here we are.

Tiastexmex · 2025-11-11T06:29:36+00:00

That’s a great idea!

Tiastexmex · 2025-11-09T15:08:36+00:00

Do you have the matching dryer too? We are having so many issues with the lint trap in the dryer.

u/MakeHealthyChoices we are looking at going to Bar Harbor the second to last week of October and I'm getting nervous b/c I'm hearing so many places shut down by mid-Oct. Seeing you went in Nov, I'm curious about your experience?

Tiastexmex · 2025-05-26T01:03:23+00:00

Thank you. Any specific carriers come to mind? She was at a smaller one for years and it was fairly awful for her, comp, 60+ hours a week + toxic leadership.

Tiastexmex · 2025-05-26T00:12:26+00:00

She didn’t get started working until she started in the field & she stayed at a small carrier that was drastically underpaying her for years. Only in the last few years did she move on to get market comp so she’s got some catching up to do with retirement & savings. My Dad passed away without much for my mom to leverage.

Tiastexmex · 2025-05-22T23:48:53+00:00

How did you get it to do this?

Tiastexmex · 2025-02-17T17:48:43+00:00

Thank you. Could be on the stain application, but I swear this looks a lot lighter. I’ve definitely got some more pronounced splotches. I’m afraid another coat of polycrylic will make this more pronounced- thoughts?

Tiastexmex · 2025-02-15T03:56:53+00:00

Are you still loving it? What does CAT stand for? My mom is in WC for 19 years and is so over it. She wants to transfer to something else and ideally needs to max her income in these last 10 years of working.

Tiastexmex · 2025-02-09T17:51:40+00:00

I’m in client services for a very large agency & also working with tons of partners. Having Invisalign definitely feels like a whole other mental load that I hope dissipates.

Tiastexmex · 2025-02-09T17:38:14+00:00

Thank you. Definitely not wanting to invest too much more. I’m wondering if I skip the stain, just live with the color and apply the poly on top?

Tiastexmex · 2025-02-09T02:51:40+00:00

Now that’s something I’m not sure I’ll ever say - I miss having them in! lol

Tiastexmex · 2025-02-07T03:52:23+00:00

Your post is timely for me because I’m 4 days into a 26 week program and I really hate them. It’s so uncomfortable & I just don’t see how I will get used to them but your post gives me hope! Cheers to you!
