NancyPants posted:Every time I see this stuff I get so frustrated that I'm not making money off this. Yeah, pretty much this. Being the practitioner in a completely unregulated industry like horse psychic seems like the best any person could possibly be with money. You probably have to tuck a "for entertainment purposes only" disclaimer somewhere on your website, but otherwise, telling people that their dog loves them and wants more Milkbone seems about the easiest thing in the world.

Devian666 posted:My understanding of 401k loans is that the intention was for providing cheap finance say to help buy a house. Yet I've never heard of a 401k loan being used for this purpose in BFC. I did this, but after very careful research. For example, many 401k plans state that loans become due immediately if your employment ends, which usually leads to the loan being changed to a withdrawal (10% penalty plus large tax bill). In my case it was a change in values I guess, I had put a high percentage of my income into the 401k so it wasn't somewhere accessible for a home. I didn't want to permanently reduce retirement accounts e.g. IRA withdrawal, the 401k loan is a compromise between not forfeiting tax advantaged space and investment returns. My rate is 4.25% paid to the 401k balance. That looks favorable given the past six or so months in sp500 but that is just good fortune. Pet psychic contribution, my dog probably has some very unpleasant things to say about the neighbor's cat and the squirrels in our trees so it's better that she not know words.

When my wife's horse was really stupid under saddle, but calm everywhere else, she looked at the saddle. The flocking was impacted and hard as a rock so it was pinching the horse's spine, causing her to flinch herself into running away from the pain. Maybe dingus there could check that instead of loving equine massage/horse therapy. They do horse acupuncture too. I know way too much about this poo poo. Also, 67% chance the owner is way too fat and the horse cant understand (her?) aids and she's too strong on it's mouth. She'll probably end up riding with a martingale to keep the horse's head down and more and more aggressive bridles/draw reigns. She'll beat that horse into submission, or have it injected with some wierd poo poo that calms them down for 6 months at a time, but ends up giving them brain damage, so when it wears off they're even more stupid. I'm so happy to be away from that poo poo now. What a loving money pit that was. My wife was spending as much for her share of rent and bills as she was for that dumb horse.

Guinness posted:The reason BFC does not generally advise 401k home loans is that many, many people do not use them responsibly, and often use them to buy more house than they can actually afford. I dunno, it seems to me that no matter what, if it's not more house than you can afford, you can wait a few years for the down payment. 401k loans for a down payment just seems impatient to me.

The horse got re-homed to a nice place in New York that specializes in OTTB(off the track thoroughbreds)E: thankfully, the wife realized at the end there that she enjoyed grooming and doing all the barn stuff more than actually riding. So, if she goes back to that, hopefully she'll get paid for it. She used to be a trainer, way back when, in Maryland.

Never change, reddit.https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/3za58z/quitting_our_jobs_to_move_to_our_dream_location/ posted:My wife and I have an overwhelming urge to relocate to our dream town, a year round resort area (skiing in winter, boating in summer). I've spent the last 10+ years of my life in a cubicle and as much as the prospect of quitting our jobs and selling our home makes me anxious, I dread the thought of any more time stuck in a shoebox for 50 hours a week. But someone made the mistake of asking why, specifically, the types of job in a resort town would want 30-something office workers. (Bolding mine) quote:TealParadise: to me, attitude goes a long ways. I lived in a car when starting out and no one helped me. I've worked two full-time jobs when it wasn't needed so as to create a safety net. I've created and sold a successful small business. I've also worked outdoors previously, in what seems like a lifetime ago, for $18/hr. Assuming 2-3% inflation I should be worth more than $22/hr. And apparently OP didn't like the responses to that, so they edited this on the top of their original post. (Bolding not mine) quote:Update: We went ahead and packed the car and are on our way to paradise. I asked if anyone had "been there, done that" and while everyone had an opinion, two of the three people that actually had this experience were successful. I'll take those odds and especially considering that tens of thousands of residents in such resort towns are getting by just fine.

Rudager posted:Well at least he's not one of those "I have 2 dollars and I'm spending it all on moving across the country to chase my drrreeammmm!" people. Yeah, one of my friends used to work at an all season resort in Donnelly, Idaho, and I can't imagine what work a cubicle dweller in their early 30s could find in that small town to enable them to enjoy the resort whenever they pleased. My friend was working there in the summer building trails while finishing an accounting degree, and his accounts of illiterate coworkers and getting his foot crushed by a boulder make it seem like a young man's game. Sidenote: this was at Tamarack Resort, for a legendary bad with money experience get a loan for $250 million and build a luxury resort right before the 2008 crisis.

Prints extra above a handful included. ^^^^look at moneybags over here^^^^^^^ We got married by a justice of the peace while in the back seat of a paid-off 1997 Civic on our way to our second jobs. For photos we all just snapped selfies with our 10-year old flip phones, then transferred the images onto our laptop with a broken screen we found in a dumpster since our phones don't have phone plans/service. We sent out a mass email inviting people to contribute to our vanguard IRA's, then spent our honeymoon selling blood plasma while writing paid content blog posts with the non-needled arm.

Their entire game plan (until they have a fleet of robotic cars) is to show up and pay great rates so young white people think it's an awesome job (and lease cars new cars  ). Then once they've established themselves with customers as the "better (whiter) alternative to taxis" they "update their app" which slashes rates for drivers until only the people that stick with it are those who were willing to do taxi work in the first place, i.e. low income people, probably minorities.
