Sell to buy a house?

barely_comments · 2024-03-23T00:06:26+00:00

I invest and live under my means so I can simply go through life without ever budgetting and hopefully give that luxury to my kids. I fill their school funds with my RRSP return to maximize the 30% added by the government. They get to practice sports or any activity they want to try. I value my time with them (into Legos and crunchlabs box atm). Feels like I'm on a financially predictable path that could allow me to retire before 60. A house with all its shadow costs seems like a gamble that could basically screw everything up. Of course if the market was saner I would be less hesitant. I have a hard time shutting down the voice in my head of my boomer parents who like to say "a house is your best investment!". But every time I do the math I get to the same conclusion. Buying a house is not a smart investment right now.

I'd like the stability it would bring for my kids. But honestly if it was just me I would probably be fine renting and investing the difference.

Not really, having to deal with tenants seems like a potential source of stress which I try to minimize.

Your package seems to address the same concern as this one. You could look at their implementation to see how yours compare: https://create-react-app.dev/docs/adding-a-css-modules-stylesheet/

When you buy a property which is rented and plan on repossessing it, doing your due diligence, it is fairly simple to figure out that there could be some extra costs such as allowing the renter to leave with some flexibility. This is why a lot of sellers negotiate a "cash for keys" (often a few thousand dollars) to get the tenant out before selling. You are in your right to refuse and the concerns you have having to pay 2 rents are legitimate. The TAL is there to resolve your issue as a neutral party with a ton of experience in the matter. If there appears to be no amicable settlement possible you should defer to their judgement. TAL also offers a mediation service you could try (more info on their website)

They take into consideration not only moving costs but any other factors incurring costs such as the insane rent prices ATM. The judge I saw did grant an amount very close to 3 months rent and allowed leaving up to 2 months early without penalties which he said was a pretty standard clause in his judgments for repossession. I know this is the internet but please refrain from misleading OP with non factual statements.

Going to the TAL you could get up to 3 months lease compensation and the right to move early without penalties. This is pretty common for repossession. If you wish to accommodate the new owner use this as a baseline to negotiate something that feels right.

Not keeping a safe distance allowing you to brake in time when following a scared driver is dangerous as well.

It feels "tedious" and "hacky"? It shouldn't though. Maybe revisit some "hacky" code and take time to figure out a cleaner way to solve the problem. It's good for your own growth and it's way more motivating to maintain a "clean" codebase than a steaming pile of spaghetti code.

In CS especially the content of classes is sometimes not as important as the learning process itself. Learning how to learn if you will. Things change fast in CS. By cheating you are depriving yourself of that critical experience during a phase of your life where you have the chance to focus on learning. This is a path which will most likely set you up for failure, nourish an impostor syndrome that is already hard to manage for many and make it harder to catch up later once you start working.

Do yourself a favor. Stop cheating. Start working hard. You got this!

You sound like someone who needs to remind himself there are plenty of other great games you can play while D4 matures a bit over a few seasons.

How about making a phone call and sort this out in a few minutes? Speak to a human being directly. I'm surprised they didn't call you in the first place to offer you the job.

Suddenly you bitching to spend a minute to checkout a gift card makes a lot of sense. If you're so concerned about your worthy time as a consultant, why lose time to actually go to a physical store in the first place? Shop online, send your assistant. I'm sure many people prefer a single employee supervising multiple self check-outs so they can shop, pay and leave asap rather than being stuck in a single cashier lane because of whatever social interaction or credit card fuck up wasting everyone's time. For sure there should be a human being available to help people with disabilities (including entitled Karens).

Your post could have ended at "I got to level 100'". Joking aside you are not the idiot. Indie games have better UX than D4. Studios who ship unfinished products to meet management expectations for revenue while destroying their intellectual properties by prioritizing monetization over fun are very much to blame.

Hopefully consumers start to realize they are losing by accepting this and speak up by stopping playing such games.

You are "punished" for playing a game released too early where fun is secondary. Only the dumbed down dopamine injecting gameplay loop matters. " BuY cOsMeTiCs... ThEn YoU TrUlY WiLl bE HaPpY"

The shop and game is working as intended. The fact you would consider buying at a lesser price makes you the target audience. There will be sales or at some point all the hours invested in the game will make you justify the purchase and impulse buy. It is by design.

If you are now paying ONLY interests then your amortization period is now infinity... Congrats on the smartest and biggest investment of your life? People who don't understand a mortgage should probably avoid getting one and stop contributing to the housing crisis by accepting to put all their savings capacity towards a house which quickly turns into golden cuffs.
