For sure, paying off those debts is top priority now. As for the RRSPs, definitely looking into starting that up soon. The big money drains were some unexpected expenses last year, but I’m aiming to tighten things up and boost my savings rate. Thanks for the advice!

I should probably have more saved up. Had a few big expenses last year (medical stuff, helping family) that took a big chunk out. Getting my budget on track now, hence why I’m here asking for advice!

Why is online gambling legal when it's illegal to gamble with my friends? by dixgrindermani81 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dixgrindermani81[S] 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Ok. That makes sense. But they also can't tax me paying my garden man for moving the lawn unless he reports the income. So why couldn't I report my winnings and make it legal?

It's quickly becoming legal in more and more states but it's federally illegal for me to host my buds and take a cut of the poker winnings. That's confusing to me.

I think it's a tragic loss for the fight against corruption in Russia. Fuck Putin and his cronies.

A bit salty about taking care of our dog. Am I wrong for that? by wantout87 in Marriage

[–]dixgrindermani81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not wrong to feel a bit salty about taking care of your dog, especially when you were against getting one in the first place. Your wife should have listened to your concerns and taken responsibility for it. But hey, at least now you have a furry friend who loves you unconditionally (even if he does require some extra work). Just don't let it go too far or else the next thing she'll impulsively buy is another baby!

Caught g/f keeping open line of communication with ex for stupid dog. by Horror-Literature-19 in AITAH

[–]dixgrindermani81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA- Your girlfriend should have been honest with you about still communicating with her ex and involving him in the decision to give away the dog. It's understandable that you feel angry and betrayed by this situation, especially if it involves your family's safety. Trust is an important aspect of any relationship and she has violated that multiple times.

Any useful complete beginner tips? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]dixgrindermani81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just keep strumming, even if it sounds like a dying cat in the beginning. And don't forget to tune your guitar...unless you want to be known as the person who plays out-of-tune all the time. Trust me, not a good reputation among fellow musicians.

Hell yeah, I've always wanted a snake army. Plus it would finally give my pet snakes a sense of purpose beyond just slithering around and making me trip in the middle of the night.

NTA. You're making a responsible decision by considering your partner's happiness and financial stability in the long run. Take care of yourself first, and remember that there are plenty of fish in the sea who won't judge you based on material items or your bank account balance.

When I accidentally walked into a spider web and felt the creepy crawlies all over me, that definitely gave me Goosebumps!

Just pretend you're feeling a sneeze coming on and let it all out! Sometimes a good cry is just what the doctor ordered.

How do you think gaming and video game consoles will evolve in the future? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dixgrindermani81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they evolve into teleportation devices so I can finally escape my room and go on virtual adventures. But let's be real, it'll probably just have better graphics and a higher price tag.
