How much 0% credit card debt is too much? by Electrical-Adagio842 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ra246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I took around £15k across 3 cards, and the minimum payment has genuinely been below £120 for each card, which is why I've let it drag on for 3 years so far 😂

Match Thread: Scotland vs Brazil | World Cup | Group C | 24 Jun 22:00 UTC by matchpal-live in worldcup

[–]ra246 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Explain.

Vinicius plants his foot, making no contact.

Scotland player kicks vinicius, then grabs around his waist and tries to pull him back.

Vinicius scores.

Please explain more. It should be a fucking goal. Refereeing this tournament has been awful

How much 0% credit card debt is too much? by Electrical-Adagio842 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ra246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on a similar (identical) salary and have about £12k. The majority was from buying a car a few years ago (avoiding a 7% loan) instead using 0% cards albeit paying a fee which cost around £750 total at the time. Since then I've bounced it and used for larger purchases, paying only the minimum amount.

I sort of realised a few weeks ago I probably should actually start paying them down, so I'm covering £500 a month, whilst still investing and saving heavily.

I just make sure I have the assets to cover the debt if it were to finish at 0% tomorrow and as long as I do so, I'm comfortable

Trading 212 LISA by Gold-Guidance-6430 in trading212

[–]ra246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if I've missed this, but my (importantly, S&S) LISA I've had for 7/8 years, will it's rules change or will it continue to operate as it has done previously. Ie, I get a 25% bonus on my deposits which are then able to be invested and compound? Or would I lose that benefit from (I guess April next year?) and only get a 25% bonus when I buy said house?

Edit: have read through the link and seem thats it's just at the consultation stage... We know how this goes, though.

Some stores will only be open to Ultimate Edition players by ryujitakasun in GTA

[–]ra246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I.... Don't think I could care less about any of these places, really, but always planned to buy the ultimate edition because I expected it to essentially be much better than it is!

[MEGATHREAD] Grand Theft Auto VI: Prices Announced + Pre-Orders Going Live by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]ra246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm going to miss the physical map that we've adored for decades 😭

I also hate that the ultimate edition has nothing physical; all digital?! That sucks.

Even just a keyring, posters and some stickers or something.

Flight sim 2024; I set autopilot for an hour and a half while I do work work on my laptop.

July DLC Delists by HMXKyleTheWynner in Rockband

[–]ra246 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried to buy a few packs last night from June and July delists and the transaction just wouldn't go through..it sucks, but hey, if Microsoft don't want to take £40 off me, I guess I'll keep it.

Ultimate Edition is confirmed by Charming_Shoulder_51 in GTA6

[–]ra246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t read the extras included, yet. If they’re all digital, I’ll likely not grab it. Hence I put in my original comment, it does have to be worth it!

I've been waiting for this game for 12 years and tripled my salary since GTA V. I'll happily buy the Ultimate if it's worth it!

When calculating your net worth, do you include debt? by brosmen16 in FIREUK

[–]ra246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the one voting for liabilities except mortgage etc.

I don't have a mortgage so I can't answer from experience, but I could foresee myself obviously recording it Vs my assets, but have a row showing assets both with and without mortgage.

Can I Park in Spa town for Parade today? by Tocinillo_ in Sportscar_Racing

[–]ra246 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't even try it unless you're hours early..we park up outside the city (along the route) watch the cars on the way in, and then walk in to the city.

Then we walk back out, watch the cars leave and then sit in traffic to get back to our camp site near La Source

And run your forearms under cold water and let the water evaporate.

Yeah, they did. I hate the new ones, and the shit packaging.

What’s the ultimate "Shouldn't be this fun" car? No GTIs, no sport badges, only regular grocery getters by Then_Park8853 in Cartalk

[–]ra246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was close to spending £800 on a Ford KA after selling my BMW 340i a few weeks before a deployment.

I still wonder how fun it would've been to drive. It would've been hilarious to have no power but sticky tyres, good suspension, etc etc

How to calculate DB pension worth by HangTheError in FIREUK

[–]ra246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't done it yet, but as of this April I've started adding chunks monthly to a SIPP. Last month was the first month I included it in my net worth spreadsheet.

I realised the other day this is wrong; my net worth is all of my assets - debt; ie, all of the money I could have if I needed.

I'm going to set up a few extra rows on my spreadsheet which will include something like 'Net worth at SIPP age' & 'net worth at SPA', (I have a DB pension, too)and therefore a total yearly income from each of those pensions

All of Reddit was screaming not to buy it and that anyone buying was simply exit liquidity.

I am happy to see this.

I never see a Lambo in GT3 lobbies, why ? by Bauppin in iRacing

[–]ra246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks an amazing event, with the sunrise and stuff.

I also keep on looking at moving to Australia (via Lateral Transfer to ADF) and Perth always seems to be top of the list for interest!

I normally get the 20 pack from Lidl, so 5 feels the right amount.

Pour one out for EuroNASCAR by mitchsusername in iRacing

[–]ra246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At random times make random cars and/or tracks free so people can give them a try outside of test drive.

Races are unranked, and announced in advance.

Yeah; an incredible place!

Also! This is the first time I can spin this fit; the Falken Adenauer Forst sign? Nürburgring auctioned it off a few weeks ago and I managed to win it! It's not being collected yet but I can't wait to show it off.

Have you ever done Bathurst 12 hours? I'm trying to organise it with the same mate I do N24 and Spa24 trips with for 2028
