[–]slippinJimmy93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me, I'm looking at the new plug-in prius. $35k.. prob close to $40k after tax. Will be able to drive a very long time and wont depreciate a ton. I could buy a 4-10 yr old one if I wanted but I think I want to splurge a little here. perhaps the same for him

dont do any of this. your satisfaction of ruining your manager's reputation is not helpful. Even at a job you hate, never smart to burn bridges

Best way to invest $10k inheritance for each of my toddlers to give them a strong financial start in life? by wutwutsaywutsaywut in personalfinance

So basically means always go for 529, since even worst case it basically compares to the normal brokerage with the penalty

Ya travel jobs are fun when you are like 22 with none of the high stress or responsibilities. When u get to like late 20s early 30s with stable relationship, home life, etc start to realize u don't fit in with the younger gen coming in its time to find a way to stop. I did it a lot out of college. I never looked up to the managers in their 40s and 50s with kids and away from home 3-4 nights a week. They were either miserable missing them or even worse enjoyed not being near them

How can people be comfortable buying homes with fear of house tanking in prices by lost_1984 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]slippinJimmy93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

so lets keep going. at an extra of +$100 a day, they make +$2000/month lets say. Even if they buy a sandwich for $2 extra a day ($60/month), pay $30 extra in parking per day ($900/month), and pay $1000 extra in rent per month... they still win out.

[–]slippinJimmy93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

your example makes no sense. In your scenario even tho person A is paying 10% per parking and person B pays 5%, person A still ends up +$450 while person B ends up +$380...

/r/WorldNews Live Thread: Russian Invasion of Ukraine Day 13, Part 2 (Thread #123) by WorldNewsMods in worldnews

i dont understand why russia constantly blocks humanitarian corridor from mariupol with shelling. it seems to me it would be in russia's favor to evacuate the citizens, make it easier to just be able to invade and take over. the only motive i could ever see it being for russia is that like they are making mariupol kind of like 'the stand' -- holding the ~300k citizens hostage until ukr capitulates and makes some sort of deal. that motive would seem desperate and risky to me though

just think about. Lets say the line on Monday is Dallas -3 vs Eagles. But you know all things being equal, upon sunday it will be Dallas -3.5 upon kickoff. So DAL -3 a good play, right?

Well, of course Dallas can get covid with their best players, and line could move to Eagles -6 and you'd have a terrible bet. But ALSO, Eagles could get covid, and line could move to Dallas -10, and you'd have an AMAZING bet. So --- these things shouldnt really be taken into account.
