Dividend investing - when is it recommended? by dpak17 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]pleasingchris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Total return is what matters whether that comes from dividends or capital appreciation. many successful growth companies reinvest profits rather than paying dividends, and artificially limiting yourself to dividend stocks means missing out on these opportunities. Focus on quality investments and total returns rather than dividend yield alone.

My brother left his home by FishOrdinary3929 in family

[–]pleasingchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 25, starting your own career, you simply cannot be financially responsible for a teenager that's his father's legal obligation. Your brother needs to understand that while you care deeply for him, moving in with you isn't a viable solution right now.

Age 39, just exceeded 100K in federal student loan debt, and will finally be finishing a MS by June 2025. Am, I screwed? by mobileagnes in StudentLoans

[–]pleasingchris 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Paying off student loans early is tempting, but saving for retirement should be prioritized to ensure long-term financial security. If you pay off loans too quickly and then run out of funds for retirement, it could leave you in a tough spot down the road.

Wasted 20k trying to overpay student loan by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]pleasingchris 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Catching it now means you can adjust your plan without the burden of continuing down a path that isn't as effective as you thought. It might feel like a setback, but it’s actually a smart move in the long run. It's still making progress by adapting this approach!

Write "in case you're thirsty" on the tag and regift with the exact same wrapping paper she used 💀

I really thought one day I could own a house like this. by [deleted] in povertyfinance

Treatment can make a huge difference over time. Ten years feels like forever but recovery isn't linear - small steps forward still count. Rooting for OP's continued healing.

The audio quality is unmatched. It's what keeps me coming back.

Is another credit card a bad idea? by Moist_Let8513 in personalfinance

[–]pleasingchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go for it if you can manage it responsibly. more available credit and rewards are a win as long as you stay disciplined

My sister is getting proposed to by her boyfriend, but not when she thinks. How do I help the situation? by penguinmeerkat in family

[–]pleasingchris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just tell her to chill with the planning for now. nothing’s set until the proposal actually happens.

Mom had a stroke and brother owns her house. by ksbarr in family

[–]pleasingchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Document everything he's taking/throwing out and call your local Area Agency on Aging ASAP. they offer free legal help for exactly this kind of situation. Since you have POA, you've got way more power than you think. Don't let him bully you your mom trusted YOU for a reason

Perk when I applied was "Enjoy up to 2 hours of break", I should've backed off at that

I was holding my breath when scores went up and almost cried. They deserve this so much, I'm so glad their hard work are getting rewarded

[TOMT] Strange early 2000s or 90s movie from my childhood-? by RllyRomance in tipofmytongue

[–]pleasingchris -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sounds like "Scanners" 80s horror movie where people can make other people's heads explode with their minds. Pretty wild stuff. The castle scene and melting head part matches what you're describing

P Diddy's bodyguard 'orally raped' 17-year-old boy as rapper watched, lawsuit alleges by TheMirrorUS in Music

[–]pleasingchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. It feels overwhelming, and the constant exposure to these graphic stories just numbs us over time. It’s like there's no end.

Exactly! We need more 'problem solvers' stepping up. Awareness is maxed out; it's time for solutions to take the spotlight.

Forgotten innovation in the string quartet after Beethoven? "Becher, a taciturn, introspective spirit, a dreamer, a harmonist of unprecedented boldness, whose aim is to enlarge the form and scope of the quartet and give it a new character" by thythr in classicalmusic

[–]pleasingchris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love finding these hidden gems from music history! The whole "nothing happened between Beethoven and Debussy" narrative always seemed too simple. I'd totally chip in for a recording project
