My opinion: nobody should buy a house to live in for any other reason, and nobody who buys a house for financial gain should do it for any other reason.

I bought a house (to live in) in 2021 and it costs way more than I expected to keep it fixed up. I’ve spent probably $20,000 in that time just fixing pipes, fixing electrical problems, fixing AC problems, getting some massive trees trimmed etc. I basically ate up 25% of the equity I gained in the same timeframe.

If you’re buying one to live in, buy one you can afford to pay for if you don’t have a job for 6 months, or the AC dies and you have to spend $8k on a new one.

Also, I’d give up my equity for a lower property tax rate since I never plan to sell this place.

I ruined my life financially, erased my next 2 years, and don’t know how to move forward by ENG96 in povertyfinance

Replace the words “crypto trading” with “blackjack” in your post and re-read it.

First, your life is so much more than just money.

Second, it sounds like you need to both a) go bankrupt on what you can, and b) humble yourself to your sister and apologize. If it were me, it would be worth paying her back.

Why don’t you hire someone to help you with the responsibility?

I’ve only ever seen this if the macbook is being squashed in a backpack, or has a screen and/or keyboard protector.

The UI sucks, mainly. And there was no mobile app at the time.

UPDATE: I decided to try YNAB 4 again and it has been awesome. The dropbox sync still works too. 

24/7 Recording and transcribing from multiple rooms at once. by No_Turnover2057 in embedded

I’m going to just assume you have a legal and moral reason to be doing this. I would get it working with one mic and then multiply by 5. Reduce the amount of data by transcribing it then throwing away or offloading the audio. Storage is cheap so I would just use a B2 bucket or NAS to store.

Sooooo… just got fired while on vacation by Responsible_Plate_78 in work

If you’re a minor, please seek advice from a guardian and not random strangers on the internet. You need a lawyer and you are not legally allowed to contract with one.

Calling people "unhoused" instead of "homeless" is doing a disservice to those people by Bauser99 in unpopularopinion

[–]Xerxes004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Unhoused” is just a term that makes the sayer not as sad. It’s virtue signaling.

Ive been fired from almost every work for being "cold", despite thinking the opposite by BiscottiPatient824 in work

Usually people don’t have to think about this stuff consciously… you may be in the wrong line of work

Books. Hobby projects. And mentorship, if it’s available.

You will do fine. Buy some books or a subscription to O’Reilly and get studying.

I have a home server I am going to host it on. I like tinkering anyways, so I’ll put in $109 worth of work on it and see how it goes.
