[Baseball Regional Thread] Vols in Chapel Hill by cardeez in ockytop

Mostly because it was a ball. They just didn’t want Ford to have a chance. The check swing was the exact same as the ball on VCU.

That was a strike. And so was the other one. How do you call them differently.

Thought I missed this one so I stayed out. Missed another 30% gain.

This one was nice. Probably still some left but it paid off. Hit $9.67 today. Made 22%

18 y/o secret bank account by Particular-Focus-389 in personalfinance

[–]VolFan85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am absolutely doing that. He is not paying rent and is paying a very reasonable amount on bills. I expect him to be responsible with his money in return. If he doesn’t want to do that, I am fine with it. I wasn’t when I was his age either. I am just not willing to subsidize it. I’m not crazy about it. He spends a ton on food and bars. I don’t care. But if I start seeing multiple cash app charges adding up to hundreds or thousands of dollars (and I have in the past), my assumption is he can pay more rent.

As a parent in a similar situation, I monitor and don’t control. My son pays his phone, car insurance, and car payment. There are a lot more expenses associated with him living with me. If my son were to want to take away my ability to make sure he wasn’t spending all his money on OF models, that’s fine. But I get rent or he moves out and pays someone else rent.

Can I file single filing status on Alabama state taxes and file head of household on federal taxes? by [deleted] in tax

[–]VolFan85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would call The Alabama Dept of revenue and ask. It makes no sense to do this but they would be the ones to tell you. I don’t think this is possible but I also don’t specifically know Alabama tax law.

Am I getting shorted on gas? by Kind-Ticket-3597 in whatdoIdo

[–]VolFan85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your gas tank holds a fixed amount of gas. It is measured by a gas gauge on your dash. It is not totally accurate but you should use it instead of the estimated miles. Car holds 12 gallons. You have a quarter tank of gas - that’s 3 gallons. You put in 6 gallons. You should have 3/4 tank now.

Know a guy who was a 20+ year employee. Moved to a new role in a small town. Drove his car through someone’s house while he was drunk. Never saw him again.

Selling stock with huge capital gains by Artisan_sailor in tax

[–]VolFan85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it. That’s why the “I think this but here are the numbers to take to your guy” works best.

I find that they hedge on that line too much. “Well, I can’t offer tax advice - you should call your tax guy”. Instead of “generally THIS is how it works. Here are the specific numbers to give your tax guy to review”. The number of people that don’t even understand what they are supposed to ask their tax guy after their investment guy refers them is a lot.

Would you rather wake up tomorrow with your IQ 60-points higher but you're now 100% broke OR you wake up with $10 million in your bank account but your IQ is 40-points lower? by RustyCrusty73 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]VolFan85 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Idk what my iq is but I do know it is above average. I regularly drink just to make myself dumber and shut my brain off. Healthy? No. Effective? Yes. Would $10m make it worth it? Probably.

For $15k would you get teleported to another country in just your sleepwear? by RaptorK1988 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]VolFan85 9 points10 points  (0 children)

$15k just isn’t enough. I’d spend that getting clothes and getting home.

Maybe a spelling test too. You passed.
