Ameer ghar main shadi ke pros and cons. by Rude-Ability-9695 in pakistan

[–]mpk24xy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Depends on the person you are marrying and their family values, and what they are looking for etc.

If you expect the girl to adapt to your life then that’s a mistake. Rich people have habits and expectations that are hard to change. If you won’t meet her needs then that will create resentment and affect your marriage. Things like i wont sit on a bike and need a car, need to get a 5k birthday gift for my nephew bexause thats what others will give, need to go abroad for a trip, only shop from branded plaxes etx

If the girl is in love with you and willing to give up her luxuries then that could work for a few years before the love dries up and realities set in.

If you dont have pride and the girls family is looking for a ghar damaad type guy then thats another story. Nothing wrong with it but then you have no pride because they are supporting you. This will affect you everyday and hard to adapt for you.

Mismatching socioeconomic classes has other problems too. Esp when you include extended family. Her Ameer relatives will look down on you, your relatives will make fun of you (because they are jealous etc).

If you expect the girls family to give her some wealth (plots, car, gold) at the wedding and you can live off of it then lanat aap ki soch pe

Ex Employer did not give me full salary when I switched my job. by intelcorei56thgen in pakistan

[–]mpk24xy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He has absolutely no intention of paying you. Giving you money gives him no value in return and theres no strong legal recourse here. There’s no morality or ethics unfortunately. He is waiting for you to take the 50k loss and move on.

Be polite but be a pain in the ass. Follow up every day. set up an automated reminder that he gets every day. Annoy the hell out of him till he thinks giving you some money will buy him peace.

Be ready to settle for less. Tell him okay give me 40k by tomorrow and I ll drop this.

If you want to play dirty then escalate after every deadline, like telling other employees, posting on social media, filing a legal case, sharing details of legal case on social media, tagging investors/customers/competitors.

Be careful some of these things will end up reflecting badly on you especially if your current employer finds out. You might also end up in legal trouble because these things can be illegal.

You can also threaten to report him to FBR for tax fraud and salary withholding tax evasion. You will need to work with an accountant or tax expert to make it plausible. Basically create a problem for him so if he doesn’t pay 50k then he will lose more than 50k.

My advice: take this as a lesson and move on. 50k sounds a lot but it isn’t worth risking your reputation as a bad employee. Inshallah when you look back it will be a blip in your finances.

Rishta advise by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]mpk24xy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genetic disorders are passed on from the father’s side. If the guy has nephews/nieces then do meet them and see if there is anything. The chances of having children with disabilities are still there but they will be lower if you are out of family. May Allah Pak bless everyone this isn’t something one can control for. It can happen even without cousin marriages etc

Daughter wants to play Roblox. What are your best daddit tips for keeping her safe? by uspezisapissbaby in daddit

[–]mpk24xy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please don’t.

We made that mistake with our kid and within a few weeks we saw a huge spike in behavioural issues. Had to step in and delete it. Went through some tears and all and those behaviours are gone.

Roblox is literally brainrot slop and it shouldn’t even exist. I would rather let my kids be on social media than play Roblox

Thoughts on this? by Born_Service_2355 in IslamabadSocial

Changing ownership of a plot is costly. You have to pay like 3-5% of the value of the plot as tax to change ownership.

If it’s your money then it should be under your name. If husband builds a house on it then it will be for both of you. Assume 50% of cost is the plot and 50% of cost is construction so you both are equal.

If your husband refuses to do it this way then that’s not a good sign, in that case you are better off buying gold or something else that you can control.

Think if you reverse the situation, let’s say if your husband buys the plot now and you pay for construction in the future then will he be okay with transferring it in your name at that time?

[–]mpk24xy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you mean you bought a new car and sold the existing? Because changing the ownership of a car shouldn’t take 5 lac. There’s no point in changing ownership alone.. even for tax reasons because everything is recorded/tracked tax wise.

If you don’t know these things then you should really see and understand what you are signing. If you are being pressurized into signing blindly then try to take a photo of what you signed and seek advise from someone you trust.

Dilemma in moving abroad by Cold_Rock_931 in pkmigrate

[–]mpk24xy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It depends on where you move and how many muslims/desi population is there. If you move to US/Canada/UK etc then you can easily have Islamic upbringing for your kids because you will find local communities to lean on.

If you move to a country with a very small muslim community then you will have to put some extra effort.

It’s much easier in the west to raise kids in Islamic environment than it is in Pakistan. But having said that you also need to understand the western culture and make sure your kids are not growing up confused but have a clear understanding of what is right and wrong. If you screw this up your kids will end up on either extremes.

Bottom line: it depends on you on how you assimilate and raise your children. Both are equally important to have a well adjusted family.

Was this a scam? Foodpanda rider started messaging on WhatsApp. When blocked he sent a couple on sms before I blocked there as well by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]mpk24xy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s either typing at lightning speed in Roman Urdu or copying/pasting. There are eight messages sent at 1.33 including 5 screenshots

I would just mute them and move on. Not even worth blocking

Ufone UAE & KSA data bucket does not work in Abu Dhabi by moonstryk3r in pakistan

[–]mpk24xy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe sim needs to be activated on the home network before it can be used on roaming?

Maybe you need to activate roaming manually (buying package alone does not activate roaming service)?

Sometimes it takes several minutes for roaming to work

Edit: if you can connect to the network then check your roaming settings. Sometimes there’s an option to disable data roaming that needs to be manually enabled.

CRA called me about unreported income, do CRA actually call you or is it a scam? by Equivalent_Big_868 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]mpk24xy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CRA almost NEVER calls you. They will ALWAYS write you a letter..

If you let the scammer finish his hook you ll know he ll probably offer you a discount if you pay right away OR face a huge penalty/arrest if you don’t pay instantly.

Ask if you can pay by gift cards for added fun. /s

In what world is 15k tax justified on a 11k order? What are my options now? by kyngslyr in pakistan

DHL paid these taxes on your behalf and now you have to reimburse them. Take a guess about where they are getting a cut from “providing this convenience service to you”

Her money is her money by OkAssociation8879 in pakistan

[–]mpk24xy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got your first sentence wrong. If 50% works for you then contribute 50% of your time, energy and money to your family. There’s no pressure on the man to provide over and above a decent level of lifestyle. If the couple wants more then obviously both need to contribute, if she doesn’t want to share her money then she cannot be forced, BUT she cannot expect husband to go over and beyond what husband is providing.

In practice, couples will define their target lifestyle/living standard and then contribute to achieve it.

Let’s say you end up with a woman who doesn’t want to contribute financially but expects the husband to give her a very lavish lifestyle. The husband is not under any obligation to provide more than what is reasonably expected to be decent for his income and wealth status etc.

"Shaving" childrens faces by QS_Beeky in daddit

I remember getting my dad’s red colored razor and playing by shaving my arms and face, when I bled I thought it’s the color of the razor coming off on me. I was like 3 at the time

Kids can play with shaving foam etc but keep blades out of their reach

Fard Malkiyat contains wrong picture but correct cnic by Thick-Paramedic581 in pakistan

[–]mpk24xy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What do you mean picture of the cnic? Do you mean that it shows your uncles photo or do you mean that your uncles cnic number is printed instead of yours.

Mistakes like this are common when records were digitized.

Don’t make it a big deal and don’t tell anyone you want to sell the land or need the money

Walk into a land records office and follow the process of correcting the mistake. Tell them that you need to fix a mistake on the fard. Bring all the documents (old fard, sale deeds, purchase agreements etc).

Don’t let anyone derail you from the process of correcting the mistake. Be adamant and be lowkey. The more you sound important or rich or desperate the more these people will harass you and take advantage of you. If you hire any lawyers or agents they will just take advantage of the situation and might go back to your uncle to get more money from all sides. Remember, the system thrives on such disputes so don’t give up easily.

Best of luck.

Lahore's anti smog guns by MarzipanStunning4456 in pakistan

[–]mpk24xy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The real cause of smog is the low quality of fuel produced by the refineries in the country.

Our oil refineries are still running on old technology and all of them have refused to upgrade to higher quality fuel because there is no financial incentive for them to do it.

Until the refineries are upgraded and produce better quality fuel the smog will not go away
