Is Slow Motion using some standard accounting template when he posts his monthly reports? Or is it just something he came up with? My head hurts after figuring out how I was supposed to read them.

I dodge FICA by having an payroll admin shift part of my bonus into an HSA contribution. Monaghan posted:If your end goal is to buy a Condo (presumably in the near future) why are you even moving to a more expensive apartment? why not just save for the downpayment? Cause I like fancy things. The difference between a $1,000 a month rat hole and a $2,000 nice place is less than a half hour a day of billed time.

I spent part of my July bonus on a motorcycle and my boss paid off his vacation home. Care to share your plans with us SloMo? Can you even compete on this level?

Veskit posted:That's the out of pocket money he pays for his therapist because he doesn't have the money in his HSA. Not really 'out of pocket'. It's actually a $400 deduction on my paycheck into the HSA. Then from that I pay the therapist, pharmacy, lab or whatever.

I think my favorite part of this thread is the is slowmo currently stating he only has ~$15K in debt. He has ~$20K in debt, you can't count the money in the checking account if you aren't willing to spend it to actually pay off the debt. Unless Slowmo goes crazy though he will make his debt go away.

Slow Motion posted:And July's prospective. I'll be done with CC debt this month I highly doubt your bonus will be that high. Just saying. Question SlowMo, after last month's debacle, what plans do you have in place to not overspend in your categories for the month of July? Also, is it too much to ask for a perspective to come out before the month starts?

Slow Motion posted:That's exactly what I did. I took Tuesday off to go drinking. Then I came in on Wednesday and only lasted till noon. Beaches are better than offices. Thursday was packing day and I left early Friday morning for Shi Shi beach. Three days there was rejuvenating. Plus I got to make friends with this little guy. How the gently caress do you spend 300 dollars in your HSA account here yet not have any medical expenses then if this were the case?

Seriously, this idiot is going to be poor his whole life. He really is a good example of how some people are going to be poor no matter how much money they make. This thread should now be exclusively anecdotes about how slow motion being a complete moron has inspired them to be better than him.

Oh for gently caress's sake. Do you think we'll ever get a reason for the sudden flipflop of apartment & car goals? Dude hasn't even passed his exam or gotten a favourable performance review yet. This is ridiculous.

Slowmo, do you want to call your shot on passing the exam and post your candidate number in the thread? I don't think there is a way to reverse engineer any information from your candidate number other than if it passed or not.

It's hard to ball harder than a luxury car with a Ferrari engine under the hood. Do it, SloMo! I have faith in you!

My head hurts after figuring out how I was supposed to read them. If SlowMo worked where I do and turned in work like that for a client he'd probably get canned immediately. The only reason I can read it is because I've figured out all his bullshit. But he's an Excel wizard and a baller who works in an up-or-out field with a bad review on his record already. He's set for life

Slow Motion posted:I dodge FICA by having an payroll admin shift part of my bonus into an HSA contribution. Let's do some simple math. You claim that 30 minutes of billed time over the course of a month equals $1,000 post-tax. Then if you billed 6 hours a day you would be making $12k/month. Your income would be $144k post-tax, or closer to $180k pre-tax. Your highest income this year has been $8k. You're expecting a bonus of $11k, which is 75% of the total accrued; let's be generous and round it up to $15k total. Divided evenly between six months, that's less than $11k in your best month. And you've already admitted that you won't be billing as much in the second half of the year. If I made the sort of numerical mistakes you make on a regular basis I would be fired. And it's funny how they always work out in your favor. I don't see how someone who works with numbers all day can be so lacking in critical analysis skills.

I read that as half hour a day for each day the entire month, so I guess about 15 hours.

Slow Motion posted:
Slowmo, remember when you first opened the thread and people were telling you to move out to a cheaper place? You refused, saying you love the place. Now you're moving to a fancier place. Aren't you worried that the same might happen with your current place? it's nice now, but the appeal may fade and you may look longingly at an even more expensive apartment. Hell at this point, I'm not even saying move to a cheaper apartment,though that's still the best option. Just stick to the apartment that you thought was nice a year ago. Use the money you saved to go to a downpayment. You have to practice at least some form of delayed gratification if you want to start making sound financial planning. Hell you could move to a more baller condo in a shorter period of time if you just saved money for a while.

Ugh, I can't believe I'm letting him troll me, but the formatting he uses is annoying. I went back a few months and put together a spreadsheet of his stuff in a slightly (I hope) more sane and legible format. Some things of note: 1. I've got $28 more in expenses for February than Slow had on his sheet, not sure where the discrepancy is coming from. 2. Tried to make it more about what spending was occurring for the cash he had on hand at the start of the month.

I may have only taken Calculus I-III, Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations before age 19... but if I remember correctly, there exist numbers in the non-inclusive range between 1000 and 2000. But don't quote me on that.

He could afford to rent a decent townhouse between $1000 and $2000 a month. Hell, his friend I think offered a place for him to crash for a few months. Pay that friend and rent out a room in their place. Or do what us people do who try to save money do and get a roommate. I want to know how SlowMo is going to save up enough for a condo down payment. He can't save money, how will he do that in the future? Also, will this condo have a scorpion mural? Slow Motion posted:Cause I like fancy things. The difference between a $1,000 a month rat hole and a $2,000 nice place is less than a half hour a day of billed time. You know what is also a fancy thing? Being able to retire at a good age and not have to worry about your financial future. Saving money is a fancy things, I see rich people doing it all the time.

I think SlowMo has the same plan.
