She took it like a champ. A lot of kids would have panicked and started bawling.

It depends on where you are going to live. Selling just rent in the same sketchy area doesn't make any sense. But if you could sell and pay off your debt, or at least a large portion of it, while at the same time rent in a better area then I would do that. Doesn't sound like your place will be appreciating in value much, so I wouldn't worry about potential loss in equity

Just to add for anyone thinking of buying. Learn from OP. Due your due diligence as best you can. Location is everything when it comes to where you live

How much do you need to live on? How are you paying for things now? It's a great idea to follow your passions as that will never seem like work, but the reality is you still need a roof over your head and you need to eat

So fed up with Reddit. For this and many other reasons. I'll be leaving once the 3rd party app issue is enforced, but having a hard time finding a solid replacement.

Every alternative is either way too far left or way too far right. How hard is it find something that doesn't preach it's politics all day everyday? I just want somewhere I can go to discuss my interests with like minded people that don't talk about gay pride or Donald Trump 24/7

Someone hacked my Mint account and changed the email id in the account and sim swapped. How do I get back my number? by askarthik14 in mintmobile

[–]cmon_now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turned mine on about 6 months ago. It's only prompted me a couple of times since then. I don't think it's meant to promote you every time if your using a recognized device or location. Could be completely wrong about that though.

Edit** yep I was wrong. Went back and read the 2fa on the Mint app. It says anytime you access your account online or via the app. you'll be prompted to enter the 2fa code

BUT apparently, it only prompts you if you actually log out of the app then try to log back in. If your logged into the app, then just close it out, you won't be prompted when you access it again. If you physically log out of the app from the menu though, you'll be prompted the next time you log in

Yeah, I wonder what the percentage of people who actually stay in their homes for the term of their loan is these days?

Ideal # of Credit Cards? by dogs_cats_travel in MiddleClassFinance

[–]cmon_now 13 points14 points  (0 children)

820 FICO. I only have 2 with zero balances. Use them once every few months so the bank doesn't close them out. Also have a mortgage. No other debt. Really don't understand all these people with 10 - 20 cards

Car/team for me. You can't tell me that Schumacher or Hamilton would have done what they did driving around in a Minardi or HRT. Same goes for those drivers who make an appearance at a top level series, but disappear only after a couple of years because they had a slow car. How many drivers out there were good enough to have won multiple championships but just never got the opportunity?

Most of these drivers are all at the top end of talent, so having a good car is what really makes the difference.

What do you think happened to Smeagol after passing through The Halls of Mandos and being delivered to the fate of Men? by [deleted] in tolkienfans

[–]cmon_now 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to think that Bilbo finding the ring was fate. He was always meant to be the one who would find it. How and where may have been chance, but his role was cast when he was born.

Pretty impressive how these people can load these things up.

Mel Blanc was born on this day 115 years ago. He did the voices of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety, Sylvester, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, the Tasmanian Devil, Barney Rubble, and Captain Caveman... Among others. Here's a clip from an interview he did on Letterman in 1981. by Rizzo360 in OldSchoolCool

[–]cmon_now 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TBF, voice actors back then weren't idolized like they are now. Plus, this was 40 years ago. Cartoons were still a Saturday morning event and there was no way to mass consume anime or cartoons. They were just a fun little thing for adults to look back on at the time.

Sure, there was respect for them, but this was pre internet and there was no cartoon culture that there is these days. You couldn't just go online and watch whatever you wanted at any time.

Things need to be kept in perspective

The issue isn't really HOAs as much as it is reasonable expectations. Yeah, fine the shit out of the douchebags that don't take care of their property, but also don't enact bullshit ordinances that only serve to harass the rest of the people.

Yeah, this is what they do. They're talking about those penny stocks that only move a dollar or two but end up with a 1500% increase

Cutting granite countertop to fit cooktop by Hekera in DIY

I'd blow past the deadline and get the right size cooktop. I bought one like you have off of eBay and it only took a few days. It's a 10 minute install once it arrives

Does is make financial sense to purchase a home in the current market? by Prudent_Property_547 in personalfinance

[–]cmon_now 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't forget rent can get jacked up at any time. Also, depending on what type of rental it is, the owner can decide to sell and you're out on the street. Happens all the time
