I'm thinking of borrowing 80k on top of 200k in non-dischargable student loans for an entry level white collar job

If you can be booked out 4-6 months in advance in supporting yourself as a musician/artist - go for it? That way if upcoming work begins to deteriorate you at least have some indicator that "Hey, this money is going to stop coming in in two months - better figure out a job situation." If you really can make a living at it, bookings increase and you forge a career out of it. You have to be able to support yourself, though, and in this instance given his high debt load and needing to support a family, that bar is going to be hard to reach. NYC is known for not being a very competitive market for musicians and artists. I'm sure he'll be fine.

My friend the BogWitch is pregnant and has discovered a new connection to the aura of all living things. She is now selling personalized fetus readings. Here is what you do: - You let her touch your pregnant belly. - She reads the auras of the fetus inside your body. - You deliver her magazines or other works of literature that are meaningful to you. - She translates the baby's aura reading from her mind into a message by going through your literature and finding words that align strongly with your baby's aura. - You pay her $180. - You get this:  People have placed 8 orders that I can see and are overwhelmingly positive about how accurately she read their fetus.   (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Hope is a terrible, ruinous thing sometimes. I recently got into knitting. It can be a deceptively expensive hobby, especially if you want to support local yarn makers and distributors. A couple weeks ago I was at a small-ish yarn store, and a couple middle-aged women were joking with each other about lying to their SOs what they were spending their yarn money on. One said that she was cheaping out on their baby and pet food to save more money for yarn.

Thanatosian posted:Excuse me, this is the "Bad with money" thread. Charging people $180 to glue some poo poo from some magazines that they bring to you to a picture of a fetus seems extremely Good with money. It's BWM to pay her. I am fairly sure that she is making bank. Her tinctures and mushrooms are ~$60 for a 4 oz bottle of water and "essence" of something. She also just had to spend an enormous amount of money fighting the city and reversing changes she made to her house a few months ago and had all the cash on hand. I feel so conflicted. She quit her job as the #2 accountant at a Fortune 500 company to do stick-and-poke/bogwitching and it is so bizarrely dumb, but now I think she may be one of the smartest people in the world.

The upcoming Bezos divorce has the potential to be the most BWM of all time. Especially as they got married 25 years ago and it’s unclear if there’s a pre-nup. Even getting 1% of his net worth would be ten figures. Hachi machi.

Wait so $180 is "Less than a date night?" I mean sure, live shows are expensive, but if that's your typical date night then maybe you have bigger problems than pissing away money on useless crystals. Cause drat, $180 can get 2 people in to an IMAX movie and a really nice dinner. Or if you have kids, a regular movie and a decent dinner once the babysitter takes their share.

Fitzy Fitz posted:I wouldn't even know how to spend $180 in one night. Almost any live show. I saw someone trying to offload Hamilton tickets for $500/ea when it came to our area, and that was sold for cost (supposedly). That's on the extreme side, but just about any live performance is going to be $50+/ea minimum for any nationally-known touring performer (musician/comic/play/etc), and it just goes up from there depending on demand.

gently caress man, movie tickets at boring old normal non imax are $20 each. Tickets for two and dinner at a not fancy restaurant can hit 80 before you even think about booze. Add a sitter if you’ve got kids and Uber and you’re there. BWM: having fun with your wife

Hyrax Attack! posted:The upcoming Bezos divorce has the potential to be the most BWM of all time. Especially as they got married 25 years ago and it’s unclear if there’s a pre-nup. Washington is a community property state so at least in theory she is entitled to half of all of their joint assets and almost certainly alimony approximately equal to 1/2 of Bezos' annual compensation for a long time if not the rest of her life. It will be certainly fascinating to watch this unfold because nobody wants the public spectacle and Amazon has a business interest in preventing a single outside third-party shareholder from owning something like 50 billion dollars of their preferred stock. Definitely bad with money in an accounting sense to get divorced, but probably not that bad from a utility sense to get out of an apparently unhappy marriage and the marginal utility difference between a personal wealth of 50 billion dollars and 100 billion dollars must be pretty close to zero.

Can you trade in your car right after refinancing? (self.personalfinance) submitted 23 hours ago by mcmz12 quote:Right now my car loan interest rate is around 7.74% and I owe 13 grand the trade in value would be 9 grand I would assume since there tying to make money and it’s worth 12 or 13 grand if I refinanced to let’s say 4 or 5% and went from oweing 13 grand to 12 or 11 grand could I trade the car in right after? Possibly even sell it? quote:You need to clarify what you’re trying to do, cause after reading it five times it still doesn’t make sense. Are you trying to sell your car to them and buy back your car? Post history reveals this rocket surgeon is on disability at age 25 because he took enough molly to fry his brain. I'm sure he has a great amount of money.........

There's a part where he thinks that because he owes 13k on the car, it's automatically worth 13k, but then there's 6k seemingly out of nowhere?

He thinks the current total owed number displayed on the loan is inclusive of the total interest due on the life of the loan, among other misunderstandings he has.
