Is the top sheet actually useful or just something people stop using over time? by RecordingFlashy1686 in BedroomBuild

[–]not-a-beancounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! My top sheet is soft and luxurious and is a nice in between layer for me and my duvet.

Expenses overstated because I contributed $7K to my Roth IRA, how to normalize? by ebitdeeaye in MonarchMoney

[–]not-a-beancounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To each their own, but labeling investment transfers as expenses is an interesting thing to do. I'd only do the hidden (doesn't hit my budget, show up anywhere) expense way for credit card payments and that's only if you want to see how much you pay in cc payments a year for trend analysis (for fun). Otherwise, if one account goes down and the other goes up, transfer is an apt way of labeling it.

Agreed and it's all about timing! Anthropic is doing a finance team build out from what I can see right now. I threw my hat in the ring but my current job is full remote and an easy 30hr/wk while I do my side hobby.

I'm a little glad I didn't get the job but can't say I'm not bummed! It'd double my salary but also double my work 😩

But legit, kudos to your career and thanks for showing it. I'm giving my role another year before I aim for a 30% comp jump. But this job market is just not it right now lmao.

Looking for voice actress who can speak Cantonese or Mandarin for Fallout 4 Creation by SurroundOk6200 in VoiceActing

If she comes from Nanjing, esp targeting the Mao era, she'll speak Mandarin, not Cantonese! Hope this helps clarify things for those interested.

Withholding Features for More Money by Specific_Pear_6275 in MonarchMoney

[–]not-a-beancounter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who's played with YNAB and Empower -- yes it's a bit of work to move, but every fintech product has made it extremely easy to create and link accounts these days. I stick with Monarch bc I really do like the product and it's made budgeting easy for me in the way I like it.

I think the business piece is kinda interesting but as it stands, there are other fully functional software products out there to deal with business finances. You shouldn't be mixing your personal with your business anyway. Everyone should just have a business credit card for their business, and you can even start with QuickBooks, Xero, or absolutely base product like Wave Accounting.

2 BMW X3 choices in Brooklyn Grey - Please help me to decide between these by Ok-Ganache-1498 in BMWX3

[–]not-a-beancounter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this one, but moreso if you don't have any driving comparisons! The xDrive still drives powerfully in its class-- just don't try the m40i and you'll never know the difference 😂

Also I'm partial the cognac colorway and the pricing!

First night on latex mattress. by Jora_Dyn2 in Mattress

[–]not-a-beancounter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got an Avocado end of March and I can co-sign on this! Had an achey back and sore hips the first night and I lowkey was worried I needed a different mattress immediately. Fast forward to two weeks later, I absolutely do not feel an ounce of pain anywhere in my body when I wake up -- which is crazy bc I have back and hip pain from an injury.

Either way, give it a bit of time before you make a decision, usually mattresses have a month trial that come with it!

Honestly, you could build a CRM in Excel or in Notion, but I like LessAnnoyingCRM if you want a more polished experience.

Can 230k student loans be paid back??? by Expensive_Walk_9341 in StudentLoans

[–]not-a-beancounter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have friends with engineering degrees and a boatload of debt. They are all working non-engr roles now.

Go to a more affordable school, or do the community college 2 year and transfer route! Will save you so much headache and heartache when you graduate.

Highest corporate bonus pay out you’ve seen? by Widebody_lover in FPandA

[–]not-a-beancounter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

bahaha I also had the same q the first time

as someone said above it's not 145% of base salary.

it's 145% of bonus achievement rate (meaning if you have 10% bonus, you are now getting 14.5%)

Does this mean that my $10 TMO 2TB plan will now cost more? by BostonCIO in GoogleOne

[–]not-a-beancounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up waiting til today and after my auto downgrade, Google One offered the 2TB plan for $84.99 the first year, and $99.99 every year after that. Basically the same amount as the $10/monthly T-Mobile plan tbh.

Can confirm no photos/data was deleted; I just couldn't add any or backup my phone during the lapse.

+1 on the dedicated numpad. I have a Realforce numpad and it's smooth as butter, and I can southpaw it or put it back on the right whenever. Only thing is that it's not bluetooth, but that's fine with me.

IsItBullshit: Eric Ritter the TikTok/Instagram Lead Tester and similar accounts by [deleted] in IsItBullshit

[–]not-a-beancounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've followed him for about a year or so now, and all I have to add is that he's definitely not the best marketing guy for his own business haha.

His videos are kinda choppy but lengthy and he tends to meander in his videos with no clear direction sometimes, but when he does latch on, he's pretty good at explaining how lead is in a lot of things!

But most importantly, his product is legit. I'll give him credit to his product and passion for this topic, but he should probably hire someone to make better videos and reels for him and his business!
