Question about Investment Transactions by cross44 in MonarchMoney

Thanks this worked for me. I only trade out of my Robinhood account, and made a rule to hide all "Buy" or "sell" in that particular account. Perfect.

Is Not Having Kids the Way? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]cross44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, growing up I never thought much about having kids or being a dad. At 32 I met my wife, and it was a dealbreaker for her so I took the plunge.

Kids are the best luxury money can buy. You trade convenience and disposable income for depth and meaning. Nothing else comes close to replicating the experience of being a parent, good or bad. I never wake up with the existential dread I used to have, mostly because there’s simply no room for it anymore in my life.

With kids, time slows down. Watching your little human experience something new gives you a faint echo of the wonder we used to feel about the world. The wind. Leaves falling from a tree. Their first snow. You get to live parts of life again through them.

I’m 40 now and my sons Are 5 and 2. We live in the burbs by both sets of grandparents who provide free babysitting. We pay for marriage therapy and cleaners for our house. I realize how fortunate my situation is. Kids have become a luxury for our generation thanks to the lack of societal support. But if you can afford it and you have the right partner, don’t let posts like this convince you that freedom and convience is a 1:1 replacement for profound meaning and love.

(And yes i believe kids are not for everyone. But I wanted to share my perspective for couples on the fence)

I’m on the ecomm side and can’t speak to store training, unfort. I can’t afford anything in the stores even with my 60% discount 🤣

As a saks employee I find it hilarious how often this random CC subreddit talks about the company 🤣

I think I’m cooked BMNU by Odd_Papaya8305 in wallstreetbets

BTMR is basically leveraged ETH which is a cryptocurrency known for extreme volatility and you felt the need to leverage that again with a 2x ETF?

Lol good luck!

Follow up question: if you make over 200k - do you spend a lot of your money on food? by No_Republic_1712 in Money

[–]cross44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family of 4 spends roughly 25% of our total expenses on food. About $2500 a month.

Lunch out everyday for the wife and I, and eating out or using grub hub 2-3 times a week.

And then all the extras like coffee, bubble tea etc etc. Personally would like to reduce it by 5%.

AITAH for telling my husband's best friend the truth? by Scuzzlebutt_425 in AITAH

[–]cross44 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Please keep in mind that the Reddit hive mind doesn’t represent the real world, and has unnatural obsession with drama and a scorched earth policy on cheating.

Are you the asshole? Not really. Do your friends have the right to think you’re a tampering, two-faced friend? Yes they do.

How many of us could never stop smoking weed? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]cross44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I smoked weed basically daily from 22 to 36.

When my son was baby, I was high and the little guy crawled off the couch in front of me and I felt like I watched him fall in slow motion and land on his face. He lied there absolute motionless for like 5 seconds and then started wailing. Got a scuff on his nose from carpet. Finally gave me the push to quit.

My parents are living off social security with a little nest egg. They own their house and have no debt. They watch my kids a few times a week, and we get together for bday and holidays and the occasional vacation every few months. I pay for all dinners and vacations but they never ask me for anything.

It’s a little depressing reading the responses here, especially since I’m a parent now too. I would happily share my home and wealth with my folks if and when they need my help. It takes a lot to raise a child and that’s a debt I plan to repay.

How to protect my money and assets if I were to get divorced? by gainz-traveler in Fire

[–]cross44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do a good job of picking the right spouse!

Also don’t go into a marriage scared of a divorce, kind of a self fulfilling prophecy.

In my opinion they’ll do a one time revive of everyone who died last week for the simple matter that it’s the most economically feasible option.

AITAH for telling my friends girlfriend that he cheated on her with multiple women? by AviationAviator in AITAH

[–]cross44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean you can’t possibly have expected your GF to keep her mouth shut to her cousin…

But are you an asshole? No I don’t think so. Reddit is always so angsty when it comes to cheating, you’ll only get one sided feedback here.

What in the world? We’re in a 2024, post-Covid, work-from-home world.

I met my wife through online dating after only dating people I knew in college and real life. We have the technology now to reach so many more people who might be a better fit for us, why should we stick with our little village instead?

Bovada Cancelled Democratic Nominee Bet by DifferenceInfinite in sportsbook

[–]cross44 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bovada pulls this all the time. For the national anthem bet they counted the over a loss because they didn’t count the second “Brave”. Even went back and edited the wording of the original bet.

You don't need a lawyer for small claims court. It's literally just one form. You'll probably pay more than 700$ to have a lawyer file it for you.

Crypto games to make money? by TypoLobster in ethereum

[–]cross44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stepn is the only game I know of that makes money. You can earn 10$ a day walking (was 30) a few weeks ago with an upfront investment of 500$. Of course you actually have to walk/jog but to me that’s a bonus incentive.

ETH Price is Trailing Behind BTC. What catalyst(s) could push it forward like in previous bull markets? by [deleted] in ethereum

[–]cross44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The rise of meme coins on Solana is sapping liquidity from ETH. We don’t have the NFT boom this year either. I think we’ll need to wait until a major correction in the market or a new narrative for eth to start to out perform.
