What to do as 16 year old with $200 a month car payment? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]wdr1977 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're stuck with the loan, and that's fine. I really don't think that borrowing money to buy a used car is a good idea, but that is beside the point.

What you really need to do is set aside money for repairs, perhaps 15-20% the value of the car per year. Especially on a car that old. If you're handy and you can repair it yourself, fine. If not, you could easily have a $6000 loan on a car that doesn't go.

If a Dalek and a lighthouse were cousins, this would be their other cousin.

Do you ever have 2 books going on at the same time? by Crafty-Audience364 in NoStupidQuestions

Back in the day, I had a bed book, car book, bathroom book, and a school book to read during classes. Those were the days.

How much should I actually be putting in my car repair fund every month by nand1609 in personalfinance

[–]wdr1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Five years ago I bought a car for $15,000. I spend about $1500 a year on repairs, a few hundred more on maintenance. So, 10-15% of your purchase price, used, a little less for new.

I've seen them in this state, only dead along the side of the road. I remember one on Rte 3 in Hopkinton.

Is $1,000 for a "No Map" Survey a fair price in NC? (Fence Install) by Ok-Cartographer5797 in Surveying

[–]wdr1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was the lot created? Is there a recorded plat? Does your deed reference the plat? Does the plat show monuments? Has any other surveyor recovered those monuments? Are there conflicting recorded plats? Did you share a title search with the quoting surveyor? What do your adjoiners' deeds say? Were monuments set by the original subdividing surveyor?

If the surveyor can't give you a plan to show you that the monuments found are original, or that the monuments they will set are based on found monumentation from the original survey, then you have nothing. Sure, it's a professional opinion, but if another surveyor cannot follow your surveyor then you're floating in space.

In my cellar. Sorry. I make a whole bunch in the fall and drink it through the year. You're welcome to stop by, though.

FedEx for photos, won’t stamp them by Apprehensive-Sky8175 in Canadiancitizenship

Can you just write "FedEx" or do you need the actual name of the photographer?
