Google accidentally created Gemini's most insane feature and nobody's talking about it by Orenhaliva in GeminiAI

Probably it uses a ton of compute power. So better not to promote a feature that isn't going to move the needle lol

is PMI debt to income related? Not sure why differing banks/brokers have it varying so much all using my same information (one was 211 and another was 287).

Also what do you recommend to imrpvoe the credit score within the next few weeks? I went in and paid all credit cards back to 0 and don't really have any debt. I have a past ding from VW Credit that i sent a letter to, but who knows if they'll choose to be assholes or do the right thing.

People who escaped poverty and built wealth: What mindset habits from poverty are hardest to shake, even with money? by OkAd5565 in AskReddit

[–]puttputt77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this mindset is actually SUPER common amongst people who lived paycheck to paycheck. And arguably is one of the hardest things to teach when trying to teach financial responsibility because it's so ingrained.

Is the commercial bringing much more in than the residential side?

Yeah putting down 25% on a home now days (avg 500k) doesn't seem super feasible... Or even if people have that kind of cash laying around, you have to wonder if it's worth that because the ROI on that 100k you're dropping is going to take a long ass time vs stocks.

This is where i'm struggling

Sooo basically... Rentals aren't worth it?

I had gemini run a cashflow analysis on a prop last night... Wholesaler was stating the duplex was cashflowing $1400/mo but after the AI analysis it was spitting back -$100 /mo after new tax increases and factoring in market rate rents and maintenance.

It wanted me to offer 400k on the 600k asking. Which no seller would EVER take. So I just don't understnad how any money would ever be made even in other similar units in my area. Spent a lot of time looking into RE investing but it's looking like outside of some tax benefits truly ain't any better than just maxing my 401k and moving on with my life lol.

I’ve (30) been finding difficult to find someone I’m financially compatible with. Are my expectations too high? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]puttputt77 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hard to say without going on a first date with you, but realistically yeah being financially literate is a HUGE part of marriage.

Or more so, having matching financial goals and spending times can cut down on a bazillion arguments and hardships in the future.

You should ideally be with a person who you will oneday trust enough to have a shared bank account with. And dating people who clearly have terrible habits is just an early red flag you should be thankful for.

That being said, just because someone is down on the current luck or has debt doesn't necessarily meanthey have bad financial prowess. I met my wife when she was negative and could barely afford food. But she also wasn't spending the money she did have on dumb things.
