My Husband Gave His Sister $16,000 From Our House Deposit.
I'm 34, my husband is 36, and we've spent two years saving for a house.
We've skipped vacations, eaten at home, and said no to things we wanted because we were trying to build a future together.
Then last week, I checked our savings account and discovered $16,000 was missing.
When I confronted him, he finally admitted he'd given it to his younger sister. She'd been struggling financially after her divorce, and he said she was at risk of losing her home.
I felt terrible for her. I really did.
But he hadn't asked me. He'd taken money we'd both worked for and made the decision alone.
When I asked when she would pay it back, he said something that made my stomach drop.
“She isn't paying it back. I told her it was a gift.”
I just stared at him.
“You gave away our house deposit without even discussing it with me?”
He said his sister needed help more than we needed a house right now.
🚨 Gran Turismo 7 is getting amazing work on KytyPS5, and the VR side eventually could happen 🔥
• GT7 reaches the World Map/main hub
• Menus and initial setup can work
• Rendering a 3D car remains a major blocker
• Developers traced one crash to an unsupported EQAA render-target configuration
• Experimental fixes are already being developed
• KytyPS5 also has groundwork for a “virtual VR headset”
• GT7 logs are already hitting PSVR2-related VrTracker2_v1 interfaces
• Those VR functions are NOT implemented yet
• Actual PSVR2/SteamVR/OpenXR gameplay does NOT work yet
• GT7 itself is still NOT playable
If KytyPS5 developers someday translate GT7’s PSVR2 interfaces into something like OpenXR, we could potentially see GT7 VR running with PC VR headsets.
Oso Ighodaro extension is a reminder to note: Tomorrow is the Pacers deadline for an extension for Jarace Walker, Ben Sheppard, Pascal Siakam, Ivica Zubac, Andrew Nembhard, Tyrese Haliburton, and Obi Toppin.
🚨Real talk campers!🚨
These past weeks have been really hard and I must be honest I was considering pulling the demo for Steam Next fest. With all the trouble with our house being damaged, getting the demo ready and getting it to a working state and working on the Patreon builds, it has been a lot.
That being said, I don't want to let the community down that have supported the game and I didn't want this Halloween to go wrong. So after locking in and a lot of caffeine I have decided to go ahead with the demo launch this next fest tomorrow!
Just to be transparent, there is some cut content and features that just need longer to cook, there is some bugs and issues I am aware of. But the point of this is so I can improve the game to make it a better experience for you. I will be reading through discussions on Steam!
So with this pre alpha demo, I hope to give you a taste of what's to come and to keep pushing fixes from your feedback.
I need to thank the patrons who supported the game because without them I wouldn't have made it this far, and for patrons I will be dropping a new build for Halloween!
Have fun at camp! 🏕️🧟♀️
The worst financial traps you can ever get into are:
> spending the expected profits from money you haven’t received yet to fund something that you really want in life. it defeats the purpose of delayed gratification, makes you impulsive, and destroys your ability to have any sort of long-term thinking as time goes on
I've been fortunate enough to work myself out of horrible financial habits.
Everyone around me, across my family, was either broke or made money and went broke through terrible spending habits:
- not saving
- not investing
- spending everything they had to buy something they desired
It kept us all one disaster or one problem away from a true disaster.
The solution is literally to give yourself a specific net worth or profit goal, and every time you hit a new milestone, decide what you’re allowed to buy with it.
That way, you’re always buying things AFTER your account has already grown a few times over.
So if you want a $100,000 car, make $500,000 in profit first.
