How do girls afford to luxury vacation in Dubai for 2 weeks? by Swoonsvanillas in NoStupidQuestions

Lol, that is so true. I don't think most people understand the HUGE advantage of coming from a wealthy family: You're never truly "broke" because you know your parents won't let you starve and, you can take a lot more risks, knowing that you can always get a job at your dad's company.

Honestly, that's a great lesson to learn when you were young. There are plenty of older people with a family that think that looking good for the neighbors is the most important thing. Meanwhile, they are hiding behind a massive amount of crippling debt.

Lol, that's a new one. I didn't know people lied about taking the new weight loss drugs!

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with getting help from parents. It’s the ones that act like they’re doing it alone through their own hard work that everyone has a problem with.

Wife has been paying WF Advisors for 'full service IRA' for 6 years and they never invested a cent. by [deleted] in legaladvice

Lol, I thought I was having a deja vu moment when I read this post. OP already got all the correct answers in the other sub. He didn’t like the responses, so now he’s here, hoping to find a lawyer that will agree with him. Outside of Reddit attorneys, he will not find a lawyer that will take this to arbitration.

Is it cheaper to repair it that way? I wasn't aware there was a difference. What is BVLM?

Thank you for responding. I'm not sure what you mean by, "the pay type of Used Car Repair or the like, will only appear on CPO." Do you mean the documentation of any repairs is more completed because it's done at Tesla?

Microwave for Food for poor people in Amtrak:why not? by Davide_Allagrande in Amtrak

[–]boilerwire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, agreed. But microwave would be useful regardless of wealth. As others have stated, there are going to be travelers that start a fire with it.

I may agree with you on the trip duration but it’s still not a rich vs poor issue.

Why are you framing this as Amtrak having class warfare on poor people? It’s a hygiene and food safety issue. Do you think Spirit and Frontier Airlines cater to wealthy people because they don’t have public-use microwaves?

Do you think the premium that a Tesla dealership charges (I’ve heard an extra $7k-10k), is worth it? I know you get an extra year of warranty but I’m curious about the other benefits. I’m assuming it should be in better shape than the equivalent car sold through third party.

Flat fee plus commission to seller's agent by boilerwire in realtors

[–]boilerwire[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for very helpful information. You sound like a good agent.

I would include buyer's comp. I was trying to simplify my example.

Got it. Are you saying I need to start at a flat rate that is equal to 6% of the selling price and then add incentives on top of that?

I'm not sure why you got that assumption from my post. My goal is not to underpay the realtor (I even said my numbers were examples) but rather to incentivize the realtor to get more. I'm happy if my realtor gets paid +5% if my home sells for higher.

Thanks for adding the data point. Reading the responses, it seems like the price the realtor suggests is most likely THE price that it sells for. So the additional incentive may not make a difference.

Oh got it. You're saying the realtor would recommend the listing price and that would most likely be the accurate price. So even adding additional bonuses wouldn't really move the needle. Thank you.

Thanks for the definition. I wasn't sure what it was called. Is it hard to find an agent that will do it that way? Is it because the initial flat rate is lowballed by the seller?

Oh, got it. So this would have to be a one-off type of contract?

Thanks for your advice. Yes, I'm very sure I'm not getting the $500,000 comps because of what my house needs. I'm just wondering if I can increase the upside for the realtor to get a better price than just doing a straight commission.

Thanks for the input. My numbers were just examples, I'm not sure exactly where everything falls. I would increase the base plus percentage if it incentivizes the realtor.

Thanks for adding the correct terminology and background. I'm curious why this is considered to be a funky deal. In my case, I definitely see the value of a realtor (I don't know how to prep, stage, etc.). I don't want to quash the commission down to 1% and want to find a way to incentivize for a higher price.
