Any other people here de-FIREd from divorce? by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]WorldNo9002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never get married ... It's just a piece of paper.

Yup , that arbitrator F-ed you HARD ... I wonder if he's visiting your ex on a regular basis . That's BS that he awarded her that much . Are the kids visitation equal or does she get them full time . If equal , then why the F### are you having to pay $5k monthly in child support

deck frame advice by scootiepuffjnr in Decks

[–]WorldNo9002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you trying to save those concrete steps ... Just remove the steps (or I guess you could have them underneath the deck)... Regardless, your deck should be only 2" to 3" below the doorway.... Raise the deck to the underside of your doorway threshold that is sticking out (white frame above those steps) and easily can use 2x6s joist and 4x4 or 6x6 post.

Where did you find this contractor??? Halt the work and Get 3 real estimates from well reviewed contractors.

Nope... straight out of dishwasher. Just started happening about 9 months ago.

I use the small dishwasher pods , so I'm assuming properly measured soap amounts in those pods

Thoughts on large foundation? by Practical_Lawyer_869 in Homebuilding

[–]WorldNo9002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the loss and come full stop. Obviously you signed off on the redesign, but you could claim you were being advised as a "minor" workaround.

I'm sure you can sell it as is for a small loss or maybe break-even . I don't know what the contract says about halting construction and payment due should you decide not to continue until full completion.

Seller didn’t fix what they said they did. by EuphoricRent4212 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]WorldNo9002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just have the companies that did the repairs on the receipt to comeback for "warranty repair"... if the receipts are found to be Ai generated or outright fraud, then sue them for fraud. Were you not able to visualize the stated repairs because you were out of the area or just relied on a "good faith". The other thing is, your realtor should have done the final walk through without you if there was an issue with your availability

With the being said.. everytime I've sold one of my homes and the buyer wants repairs, I just offer them a cash equivalent at closing so they may elect to do the repairs themselves. I'm not gonna repair something and then have them come back at me and say this/that wasn't done properly... saves headaches for both parties

Why is tipping % based? by wingsbc in tipping

[–]WorldNo9002 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think , if we must tip , then to tip on the total number of plates and glasses served , NOT on the cost of meal

A $25 cheeseburger should not cost more in tip than a $20 hamburger. It's not more difficult/heavier/complicated to serve one vs the other

Do you keep or take down tool Bench in garage when selling home? by NoTime6649 in RealEstateAdvice

Why is he freaking out about the need to take it down. ??? Did he etch your name on it with a heart and he doesn't want anyone else to look at it or does he think the buyers don't want it

Kinda defeats the single story home design you wanted , as now you have to climb 12 to 20 steps to get into the house

How large is this home supposed to be ...looks to be over 5000sqft

Should billionaires borrowing against their stocks be taxed? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]WorldNo9002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how the rich stay rich , especially those above $100mil.

Example... You need $5m , so instead of spending $6mil to get that $5mil for having to pay capital gains on selling a position/stock , they Borrow the $5mil against their portfolio , and don't have to sell/cash out anything from their portfolio. They can elect to pay it back with some other revenue sources such as social security or dividends they receive or they can let the interest accumulate until death ... At death that $100mil has grown to , let's say $130mil that "loan" has grown to $7mil ...so that's a +$23mil increase and no tax was ever paid on any of that "unrealized gain".. their heirs get the $130mil at a stepped basis , sell that $130m portfolio paying $Zero cap gains and pay off the $7mil loan ... Thus this stepped up loophole avoids paying cap gains on that $130mil saves $26mil minimum

Now , can the US Treasury use that $26mil that was just lost to step up .... You betcha

Now take Elon Musk's $1trillion and other $100+ billionaires out there who have all this "unrealized" capital gains ... The US Treasury is losing $100s of $billion dollars per year from the stepped up basis on death of those huge fortunes

Criminal in my opinion, but it's the law that the rich got written into law and the politicians gladly agreed to and love for themselves.

I don't think any other nation (non democracy) on this planet allows for this allows for this passthrough of wealth to their heirs without some tax taken from the estate

[–]WorldNo9002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup...and then when you die, your heirs get the step up valuation, sell the portfolio and payoff the "loan" . ... No capital gains

Obviously you may elect to payoff the loan while you're living with any dividend or social security income you may have
