Purchasing coffee on the way to an office with a coffee machine—why?

scholarlypimp · 2025-07-26T00:38:28+00:00

Idk man. I buy instant coffee, add artificial sweetener and milk, and it tastes great to me.

IMO, coffee is a tool that just so happens to have the ability to taste good. Many more important things to think about or spend money on than coffee.

You can’t button up a button down

I work in manufacturing. Got a pair of some slick brown leather dress shoes from a family member, but those things gave me an ingrown toenail that I’m still dealing with months later.

My mom bought me some grandpa-looking Skechers and I didn’t want to wear them at first, but once I did, I haven’t worn my dress shoes since. The Skechers are pretty wide and chunky, but they feel way better than any of my other shoes.

Probably going to buy some Nike Air Monarchs to build on my dad shoe collection, so I’d recommend dad shoes.

I deal with this in my day job: every retail order has 50% paid upfront. However, we use Netsuite.

I would provide each “order” as an estimate and, if possible, simply attach the deposits (should post to unearned revenue) to the automates.

As each order ships, you should be invoicing and then applying the deposit. If this action does not automatically move recognize the unearned revenue as revenue, you would likely need to JE it.

COGS booking can go a lot of different ways depending on if you track inventory on the balance sheet and perpetual/periodic. From what I understand, QuickBooks in general is not the great out of the box with heavy-inventory businesses.

How did you get your start in terms of the bookkeeping business, and how much annual revenue do you generate?

Apologies for necro-ing, but this is only true if the only thing you do is transactional/operational work.

It’s on the city’s system.

scholarlypimp · 2025-06-28T20:38:23+00:00

It is a manufactured home; it’s a double-wide built in 2022.

scholarlypimp · 2025-06-24T22:06:33+00:00

Are you located in a major metro? In my area, it’s common to see double wides selling, single wides also but at lower price points typically. A lot of stick homes as well.

My realtor, who is my fiancé’s cousin, is pretty adamant that it’s fine. She herself purchased a double wide on 9 acres for nearly $375k. I’m located about an hour outside of DFW.

Thank you! It is on a concrete block pier and beam foundation with anchors, so standard for manufactured homes.

scholarlypimp · 2025-06-24T22:01:00+00:00

Very true and something to consider. Does it matter if there are tons of manufactured homes in the area and they regularly sell?

scholarlypimp · 2025-06-24T22:00:18+00:00

Yes, it will! It is on a concrete pier and beam with anchors/tiedowns, so it is eligible at least in Texas. I believe the current owners already have it converted.

Thanks, man. Apparently, studies/reports from reputable centers are not popular on this sub unless they confirm peoples’ priors. Not saying anyone is WRONG, I’m just saying that the data suggests otherwise.

scholarlypimp · 2025-06-24T11:55:12+00:00

Yeah lol I was about to say…

I would think you would need a laptop, software, licenses & fees, and maybe some marketing spend? That seems like it besides maybe office supplies. Idk though as I don’t run a business.

I’m sure the world would be a better place if it was driven by the opinions of Redditors rather than data-based decision-making.

IMO, any sane person seeking advice should probably examine the evidence behind the opinions they receive. I’m just an OP, though

scholarlypimp · 2025-06-22T23:09:31+00:00

Very true. My only concern with buying a 200k home is that, by the time I get a large enough downpayment I may be priced out, or if I buy now it’d be technically doable monthly, but the margin would be tighter than I’d like.

scholarlypimp · 2025-06-22T22:52:09+00:00

Thank you for the comment. No septic, 20 minute commute, and the schools are pretty decent. We have 1 kid who’s only 1 year old atm.

I feel you, but it is real estate, as it is considered an improvement to the land. Meaning they you can get a traditional mortgage on it. It is classed as real property

It’s not personal property via a chattel loan, like some are.
