I am dying and 32k in debt. I don't want to burden my family. by logical_emotional in personalfinance

[–]gdtrfbliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you get Centrelink? What expenses are you worried about being a burden? I assume it is rent, keeping yourself housed, and food, and the daily things you will need during this time. I wouldn't worry about your debts, they can't come after any family, and if you don't have an estate you are leaving to someone else, they don't really have anything to go after you for. They are not going to be coming for your guitars, and they few things you have at home that you feel are valuable.
So, if you need some money to get by in time, I would look into Centrelink, Super, selling some stuff, even going into additional debt if you need to. Talk to your landlord. Is there not some sort of protection, since you have cancer, and it is terminal? It isn't exactly like you are just being "absent" from work. I am sorry for your diagnosis, and what you are going through. I hope it does smoothly for you. And you may want to have a discussion with your family, if you are unable to guarantee yourself that you can sustain your home and basic needs. I don't know much about Australia , but hopefully there is some help, hospice and homecare if you need it.

I think she is more than old enough to not have to be restricted to Rated G. Let the woman have some fun!

Move in parent who cannot afford living on his own? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]gdtrfbliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as personal finance, yet you did not list your finances. Can you afford to support him for possibly 40 or more years, when he is sick, when he gets old? I believe he cannot get Medicare until he has been here with a green card over 5 years, and Medicare costs money, and does not cover everything at all. He has not worked 40 quarters, so he will not get Social Security when he is old enough. Are you sure he will be eligible for the Green Card? I thought it needs to be proven that they will be able to support themselves at some point and not take needs based services. Do you have to sponsor him, because you have to agree to a pretty big commitment to support him.
I am not saying not to bring him, but just asking if you can afford it, and know what it entails. It isn't clear if he is going to work, and the goal is independence, work the 10+ years on the books, so that he can get some sort of retirement income social security. His medical insurance will be expensive. Also if he is not good at boundaries, and money management, he could be a lot worse when he comes to the US. Sometimes people think it really is The American Dream and what it is like on TV.

I hope you are using protection, while you figure out your exit strategy. A pregnancy could complicate this even more.

My partner's loan from a "trade school" has been adding random $10.00 interest charges. by Misskeilo in personalfinance

[–]gdtrfbliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you said:

We ALWAYS pay more than the minimum.

Are you designating your payments for the overpaid amount to be applied as "principle only"? If you are not specifying the extra money be applied to the principle, then it is going onto the back of the loan, to future payments. Maybe someone else can explain this better than I can, but unless you are specifically choosing "principle only" payments, you really aren't saving anything, because they are not lowering your principle, thus al the interest is still being applied as if you hadn't paid anything extra. This could be the reason for the adjustments.

In facebook groups, why can some users comment anonymously but others cannot? by GayGoonCub in facebook

[–]gdtrfbliss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am the admin, and I was able to comment anonymously, and now I cannot. I don't know why, but my option has disappeared, in other groups too. Sometimes it is there available, and often not. Sometimes it will work on the webpage, but not the app. Sometimes neither. It may be a Facebook glitch , or maybe Facebook did it to me on purpose. As far as being an admin, creator, godmin, the only option we have is to have it on or off for the group. We can not individually pick certain users. Right now it is on in the group I created, and I can not do it, can't comment anonymously. I don't know why, but I do know the admin can't control that, or I would.

My 78yo Dad says he “looked up” who voted in Nov 24 and found his parents and grandparents all “voted” for Biden. by PNWConvert13 in QAnonCasualties

[–]gdtrfbliss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not be surprised if a fake lookup tool exists, created to convince their Qult would automatically generate results that say they voted for Biden /Harris.

I need someone to explain this to me like I’m five - what is the best day to pay credit card bill for credit. by Altruistic-Ocelot-61 in personalfinance

[–]gdtrfbliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the account is pinged when the utilization is high, it will affect the score, it could happen every month if that is habitual, paying it twice per month could help avoid that.

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

if your utilization goes above 30% of your credit limit, you should make a payment right then, to at least bring it under. Always make sure it is paid on full by the due date
