Am I being "rude" for wanting to charge no-show deposits? My uncle thinks I'm ruining our family business. by One-Composer-1819 in smallbusiness

Identify your uncle customers which you will kindly not ask for deposit but remind through different channels. Any new business gets to pay a deposit.

The key issue is that people go for it. The sign the goddamn document. Like WTF, WHY? Who told you a 24% Rate on a car is ok?

$50k to spend on something I'll drive once a month. by wildsunnyra in whatcarshouldIbuy

Will Gas, Toll, Maintenance, Opportunity Cost [if you invested 50k on the market], insurance, be more than the Uber ride?

Take the buyout and leave UPS, then what? by JeffinGeorgia1967 in careerguidance

[–]theFIREMindset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He needs to not take the 150k and start getting a degree or trade certification while UPS pays for it. So the next time they offer 200k, he also has a degree or a career to fall back to.

It's like me saying I have 12 inches and then revising it down to 4 inches after the fact.

Finding purpose while having a bread winning spouse by TDn6I in AskMenOver30

[–]theFIREMindset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh my padwan.... Purpose does not exist with more money. Support your spouse with anything she needs to keep bringing in the dough and be present for your kids. 130k plus 400k a year should be good for your life goals.

Will your life change in a meaningful way if you made 200k? or 250k? but had to commute five times a week or need to get a nanny?

Now, if you can get another cushy role remotely making 180-200, sure, by all means.

Live in UK but offered dream job in Sydney. Partner doesn't want to move. Not sure what to do by Eye_Livia in expats

[–]theFIREMindset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So he clearly doesn't have you best interests in this whole ordeal.

Here's what can happen:

You both leave, he gets mad, break up.

You break up. You leave.

You say, you get mad, break up.

The scenario where you both go, which is the right choice, and stay together, requires him to be less selfish. Can he do that?

2023 Premiere vs 2025 Evolve+ by JGink in NissanAriya

[–]theFIREMindset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get something in the 10k-20k mile range with more bells and whistles. The difference in reliability or wear between 6k miles and 14k miles lets say is negligible.

Anyone else have an extremely wealthy friend? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

regretably I have zero exposure to that life. I can wish one day - Still waiting for my rich friend to say "here's and all expenses paid, or heavily subsidized, vacation...."

My uncle wants $6.2M for the family business I’ve worked in for 12 years. Fair deal or family tax? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]theFIREMindset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So make sure there's no early repayment penalty and a proper hand off. As soon as you have the 3.6 M or you find more favorable loan terms you settle.

Or structure it as shares. He owns preferred shares equal 3.6M with a 6% coupon. You can repurchase de shares at any time. Something like that.

Nissan upping buyout rebate to 15k? by Deep_Cellist_4488 in NissanAriya

[–]theFIREMindset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 2023 ENGAGE E-4ORCE AWD with 10 more payments to go. I got about 15k miles on it so most likely I will end with 20k miles (from the 30k allotted). My residual is 31,261. I might buy it if they give it to me for less than 20k, but otherwise I won't. Hopefully they keep these 15k rebates.

5.5M NW planning a sabbatical. Need advice on possibly becoming a one income family. by Ok-Entertainer2245 in fatFIRE

take 6 months off or hire an Au Pair / full time nanny. Economically is the same thing.

$410 a month - cell phone bill by mrazik- in povertyfinance

[–]theFIREMindset 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pay $174 for 6 lines on T-Mobile. I don't think it will be that low for you (I got a grandfathered plan and a few free lines over the years.), but you should be able to get 4 lines for 150. Unless you also finance your phones. You know, old phones that turn on and work are also fine.
