https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/jan/21/should-i-stop-pension-contributions-to-get-a-bigger-mortgagequote:I have a question based on the article you wrote in 2015. I am a deputy head teacher. My partner and I are having strong arguments over me stopping my pension, which I want to do so that I can get the best possible mortgage by providing three payslips clear of pension contributions. We are looking to increase the size of our house in north London as we have a young family. My partner doesn’t have a pension as she thinks they are the devil. She is freelance and so her payslips won’t be contributing to the mortgage process. It appears most mortgage firms do not overlook your pension payments. What should I do? PI whats the least expensive cat food these people are going to have to eat when they stop receiving a wage

Cacafuego posted:~~Tale as old as time (again)~~ lol I had to go back and read more of this guy's reddit posting. https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/comments/9gsfbd/best_rolex_everose_gold_40mm/ posted:I don’t know really know much about the watch,(or watches in general) but I love how it looks. I’m looking for the closest looking and highest quality rep under $700. It doesn’t have to be an exact replica, as long as it looks genuine, keeps time and doesn’t get called out I’m good. some redditor posted:The thing that'll get you called out is whether or not you could plausibly afford a $25k watch tbh OP redditor posted:I drive a $48k car, if that helps. I can’t afford nor would I drop that much on a watch though. He's talking about a 2016 Ford Mustang Ecoboost, which is worth less than $20k and which, even when new, was only about a $30k car. It takes some real cognitive dissonance to convince yourself that your $18k car is actually a $48k car, and to use that falsehood to try to get others to tell you that yes, it's reasonable that you could be rocking a $25k gold Rolex.

How do you get a dog blood donation? Does some other owner volunteer their dog or do they just grab a guy with a poor adoption outlook from the shelter and drain him?

Not pet related unless you count this dude getting treated like a goddamn dog: My company owes me over $25k in backpay... but I don't really want to quit or litigate quote:I've been working for a small engineering company for almost two years now. The company is about 30 years old, but has shrunk in size over the last few years. Finished a graduate degree in science, and once I settled into my current position, I found I really had a knack for this kind of work. I was able to move back to my hometown, near my family. On paper, most of the things about my current position are great; I work with other capable people, the projects are varied and interesting, I get to put my education to use in a novel and rewarding way. I truly enjoy going into work every day. Reply posted:OP, can we keep in touch so I can eventually hire you whenever I open my own company? I need employees who feel morally wrong to seek compensation for their work.

Very common problem that employers take advantage of without any thought is that employees treat their interactions with the business as a personal relationship rather than viewing things through a business relationship lense. More commonly you see this as workers accepting being overworked and understaffed since they view it as helping out their friends/coworkers rather than a failure of the company to ensure they have an adequate work force to handle the work load. This is just an extreme case of that mentality and I hope they snap out of it.

Keeps them coming in when they're sick and taking much longer to quit when they realize it's BS, too. It's so scummy to take advantage of employees.

That APR is awful but there's so much more BWM there - $895 for GAP and $3250 warranty are outrageous. $650 for the license/doc(umentation?) fees seems absurd, too.

Since we’re in Pet Island can we get away with self posting? Cats were BWM for me, I had a lovely little black cat George who had all kinds of problems, developed diabetes so he had to get shots every day. Then he came down with pancreatitis if I remember correctly. That was more daily medicine. He was a love though. I also had a female black cat named Pink. She never really got domesticated, hated everyone except me and scratch up everything. When she went to the vet they had to use those elbow length leather gloves to handle her. She tore up all kinds of stuff. We saved her from a junkyard though so I felt bad for her. Throw in all the allergy meds my wife and daughter had to take and it added it up.
