@gorillapanics@0xRarest I came here to say this as well. Limit used to be $6,000 for years. Now it’s up to $7,000 and that just started. Unless they meant 401K.
@yonann In this case Dave is right. Time to move. If you’re trying to make that work you just won’t. $1,700 rent per month when making only $2,300?
MOVE.
Find a small town. Tons of options to rent for $1,000. I don’t care if your family doesn’t live in the area.
MOVE.
Or lose $$$
@lil_dark_1 This video pissed me off. First. She needs to clear out of the road. Second. White guy was no trying to deescalate. If anything he was making it worse by continuing to go up to the other guy. Thirdly. He is a weak fighter. If you’re going to be combative. Know how to fight.
@64hangingon@Real_Landlord7@theficouple I’m sorry but credit unions will give a loan out to a high schooler for the mid sixes right now if they can show proof of income with little to no credit history for $12,500 loan.
Not sure what you’re talking about I guess unless you nuked your credit.
@64hangingon@Real_Landlord7@theficouple I just found a 2017 Ford Fusion with 63K miles with heated seats, apple car play, dual climate, memorized driver seat, for $14,500.
Put $2,000 down.
5 year loan at 6.5% and your payment is $244.58.
So under $250. For a nice car.
People outlive their means.
@Real_Landlord7@theficouple I would argue that $330 per month for transportation is a little light, but doesn’t mean the vehicle is paid off. Plenty of people have a $250 car payment monthly, and have auto insurance at $80-$100 per month if they have a decent driving record. Factor in gas and it’s $400.
@kinginvestings I’m living it. Bought a house at 25 and bought a cheap house to rent to a friend at 26.
Both houses were for under $155,000 total purchase price mind you.
@houmanasefi@sweatystartup This is a ridiculous take.
If I work my ass off and give my kids the world. It’s not that they were lucky to be born to me. I created that child/children.
I give to them.
I don’t have to give to anyone else.
Historically, the strong excel. And if I’m strong, so are my kids.
@TomatoTEEJ@sweatystartup This is a low IQ take.
We are in a society that quadruple taxes you.
Taxes when you earn. Taxes when you spend. Taxes when you own. Taxes when you die.
Removing the inheritance tax would change us to a triple tax system which is still too much.
You’re enabling our gov.
@theficouple Personally I’m doing a split. But I would also never let myself have $132,000 in the bank in the first place.
Most of that would be invested and 80% of the leftover would be in a high yield savings account.
@james_xond This is 100% life changing money.
BUT!
Only if you use it wisely. This can quickly become well over a million dollars. Even if one has to get out of some short term debt first.
@leandrajoy@alla38@MarketPalmer_@theficouple I just realized I made a grave error in reading comprehension.
I had read it as she worked Eight or Seven Hours. Not as she worked from 8 AM to 7PM
This changes things.
My apologies on that.
@SusieSteinbach@sergefiankan@MatrixMysteries Hi Susie.
Not sure what you think you did here.
No one should ever plan on social security being the only means of survival in retirement.
I actively build and work each day to fund my survival, lifestyle, etc.
Not counting on mommy or daddy or big brother gov to feed me.
@alla38@MarketPalmer_@theficouple The math isn’t mathing here. If you left the house at 7am. Let’s just assume it takes you an hour to get to work.
You’re there at 8.
If you worked for 7-8 hours. You’d be able to leave for home at 4 at the latest.
Even running errands your kids would be picked up by 5/5:30?
