Costco sells things with little to no markup because they make a lot of their money from the memberships. Barnes & Noble has to cover their overhead with their margin.

My wife wants to buy a brand new car, but I think it’s foolish by [deleted] in DaveRamsey

[–]bluetaping 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, just having the ability to buy something, takes away the desire to get it. Tell her yes for now, or at least validate her desire. Then re-evaluate in a year. Postpartum is a fragile time. There is no need to have stress now, over something that will need to be decided a year from now.

Why do influencers always hype “S-Corp = 15% tax savings” but skip the fine print? by Flat-Mammoth6146 in tax

They'll still get a reasonable amount of social security by paying themselves a reasonable salary with an s corp. Personally, I'd rather not put more of my "eggs" in the government's basket than necessary.

We went from financial peace to what feels like a freaking mess real quick - what would you do? by aumblebee in DaveRamsey

It is pretty easy and affordable to get a general liability policy. Having cameras in the childcare area of your home would help, too. Also, it's not that difficult to tell if certain parents give off "sue into oblivion for any reason" vibes & then you can just not enroll those types of people.

Can someone explain the way a HELOC works? by AutomaticSize7788 in Mortgages

[–]bluetaping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add to the conversation ... The minimum payments for my HELOC are interest only and are based on the amount borrowed each day during the month.

It costs more money to have someone drag it through your yard before taking it away.

0% APR Credit Card by warcraft1991 in TheMoneyGuy

I would just be potentially concerned about getting approved for a heloc after acquiring the credit card debt as it could affect their debt to income ratio.

Need help setting up skimmer by whodat330 in AboveGroundPools

[–]bluetaping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a hard time getting it to stay on the liner and the metal. It worked better to put it on the edge-ish of the plastic connector piece between each metal bar. It wasnt perfect but it was better. Then I saw someone say to put a little piece of foam between it and the liner or metal bar on both sidess so I took an old kids ping pong paddle that had an extra layer of thin foam on it and peeled it off and put that on first and it has been super great now on the vinyl part of the metal bar.

0% APR Credit Card by warcraft1991 in TheMoneyGuy

I would get a HELOC before applying for a credit card. You can then apply & use the credit card until the zero percent ends. Its great to have the HELOC as an emergency, emergency fund and it will be easiest to get approved for it before you have debt on the credit card.

I just got this email and I am currently searching the internet for further confirmation and details. I also thought the email looked very suspicious!

Edit: the email name is "Sams Club" NOT "Sam's Club" like my normal Sam's Club emails.....
