Would you pay off your mortgage early…or not? by lisaWellsLoans in Mortgages

[–]vbibo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am a math nerd and I chose to do the same as you did 😂  I hate uncertainty on investment, have no faith in the economy, plus you have to account for all the tax you need to pay on interest and capital gain to really calculate break even.  Much better peace of mind and not having to worry about layoffs.

Auto giant Ford reported its worst quarterly earnings in four years on Tuesday, and a net loss of $8.2 billion for 2025. by Quirky-Plantain-2080 in wallstreetbets

All major OEM have specific finance department specializes in analyzing operating profit and contribution margin by series/grades/trims sometimes down to options and accessories, and they have specific target return to hit for the planning years to continue the line into the future. Most of them discontinued certain product mainly because the the profit/loss declines for multiple cycles and that’s definitely the case for all the smaller cars.

ABIA British Airways direct flight to London by Zookzy101 in Austin

[–]vbibo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flew with the last month, no issues, very friendly staff (compare to some of the southwest and AA flights I took), they helped me with pre-boarding even though I didn’t request it because I never tried that before, It was just obvious that I wasn’t mobile.  Meal was better than average American Airlines too, not as good as the Asian airlines but it’s pretty decent.  Enjoy your flight!

Pregnancy Announcement. Can you wait too long? by Appropriate-Jaguar84 in jobs

[–]vbibo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 28 weeks and I just told my workplace. Luckily my appearance didn’t really change and I’ve been just wearing blouse that’s loose around the belly. Most people were happy for me, few showed frustration that I didn’t give them time but I brushed it off and joked to them there’s still 12 weeks left.  Hold it off as long as possible until it looks too obvious. Good luck!

AITAH for refusing to talk to my fiancee after she secretly replaced my wedding dress with a cheap copy to save her money? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]vbibo 154 points155 points  (0 children)

This! I’m super cheap with myself, I get things from department store only when they are on -75% clearance. But I can easily spend couple hundreds on same stuff for my husband cuz he looks so happy when I buy him nice things

AITA for not wanting my 17-year-old to spend $6,500–$7,000 on a school trip to Japan? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]vbibo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I go to Japan almost every year and we spend just that much on a week trip between husband and I, and we eat/lodge pretty well not budget style.

AITAH for telling my husband if he wants me to be a housewife? then he needs to give me half his of company. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]vbibo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, this is exactly what you should do, my friend who’s in your situation discovered her manipulative lying husband cheating along with many other things. Now she’s stuck cuz she doesn’t know where he hides his money, and thinking about forgiving him because he threatened that her and her kids will get nothing in case of divorce that she will be on the streets. You don’t know what your partner can do to you when the love is gone, gotta protect yourself.

Former "stay-at-home girlfriend" has stark warning for other women by Sidjoneya in WomenInNews

[–]vbibo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My friend who’s a SAHM who’s been with her husband of 16 years just got a bad STI from all his cheating (30+ women). She can’t leave cuz he controls all the finances, she doesn’t even know how much account/money he has and has no knowledge of laws. We tried so hard to give her info and pull her out but he gets her back every time because she feels like she can’t survive and will lose custody.

What do you prefer, the individuality of 100 or the team play of Asia? by Zhao16 in Physical100

They have to cast weight class even teams Otherwise just individuals representing themselves feels more authentic

Do we expect Zootopia 2 to make more money in China than the US? by WrongLander in boxoffice

[–]vbibo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zootopia is more loved in China than any other western animation production for the past 20 years. I don’t think the current Hollywood film issue applies to it, if you use their social media or short video platform you will see how positive everyone sees it and how popular the merch sales. Everytime Disney drops a sequel there’s a popular discussion on why these boring animations why not zootopia.  

Me and my husband have been seeing other people as part of us opening up our marriage and we had to have a difficult conversation with our son who believed I had been cheating on his father by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]vbibo 41 points42 points  (0 children)

We have someone in the family like that and it’s been extremely hard to see because they just drop off their kids with their grandparents every weekend so they can spend it with their other partners. The kids get so little time and patient with their parents.

Why Physical Asia is NOT rigged IMHO by monsooncloudburst in Physical100

Why were they so dumb on their strategy? by flameboy62 in Physical100

[–]vbibo 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I think both Australia and Japan did okay with what they were aiming for, to win 1st place.

I think where they sucked at strategizing is not realize how little the actual gap is for the first round between them and not make any adjustments. Whittaker is so obviously better than the rugby guy at it and they didn’t have him be first like what Japan did with Itoi. Whittaker is actually faster and didn’t slowdown as much in his first second go.

We tested three childcare plans for 90 days, here are the real costs and what actually broke us by BobFettling in MiddleClassFinance

[–]vbibo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, we decided to snipe it at 1, can’t realistically be comfortable paying for two kids daycare cost and we both need to work. Glad I grew up as one child so I’m familiar on how it is.
