A 911 is not a suitable DD, especially not a used one, and there is no point to spending $50k on one. I find it suspicious that he doesn't have a garage or a current project car if he's really such [quote="NancyPants" post="455468614"] There are tons of people that daily drive 911s. Perhaps you have never been in the parking garage at a hospital before. I'm not saying it's a great idea for a guy making 60k, and maybe he lives somewhere snowy or something that could make it more impractical, but Porsche definitely has a brand reputation for both being comfortable and mechanically tolerant of daily driving.

Impulse buying a chunk of land, then going "what am I going to do with it": Probably BWM.https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/42sdqh/i_just_bought_6000_square_feet_of_land_as_an/ posted:So, I've bought this piece of land in India.

Update on houseboat guy for the lazy: His apartment management company said his month-to-month arrangement wasn't going to fly, and was making tenants who wanted to stay on month-to-month payments pay $150/mo additional rent. Since the financed houseboat of his dreams could be just around the corner (this may involve putting it in the name of his IT side business LLC and calling it a business expense), OP was having none of that, and photoshopped the form to read "$10/mo" and handed it in, which the manager blindly turned in to the company and now has to honour, at least for the next two months (minimum agreed upon move-out/boot-out notice for each party). I'll give him that last bit for chutzpah, he was probably recalling a similar thing where a guy screwed over a credit card company with a similar trick. tl;dr - he now has to move out in two months and is blacklisted from renting anything again from that company, some other possible fraud wrt the financing/insurance is on the horizon. He also casually dropped in liquidating his Roth IRA if things got hairy. Pompous Rhombus fucked around with this message at 07:27 on Jan 27, 2016 |

An acquitance who happens to be an "exotic dancer", likes to gofundme everything from her bicycles to now this. She used to make 500-1000$ for a single night at work, then have nothing left in the next morning. https://www.gofundme.com/amzmgg8s quote:I've done my best at raising 3 little ones on my own and I want to feel confident about my body. I am asking for help with plastic surgery. The first surgery will be breast augmentation. I know this isn't a dream that some would find necessary but I've wanted this for 6 years. I'm finished having babies and this is something I have wanted for myself. I am a provider, a people pleaser, and a mom. I have a hard time asking for anything and always put myself last. My children never want for anything and I raise them on my own. It's hard not to feel selfish for wanting something for myself but from what I've learned, we must also take care of ourselves. This is cosmetic and technically not necessary. But I would like to see my nude body and feel happy about it. This isn't to gain approval from others.

Dik Hz posted:IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that's not how contracts work. If the contract he photoshopped was already signed by the property manager then it would have arguably been grounds for fraud. As it is he made a counter offer and the property manager accepted it. The fact that he didn't call out the changes in the contract doesn't alleviate the property manager from reading what is agreed to.

I'm pretty sure you can claim boobs as a business expense if you're an exotic dancer. Of course that assumes she's paying taxes and/or claiming enough of her tips to make 5k in deductions worthwhile.

On the plus side, she'll probably still be under 50 when he kicks the bucket. On the downside, she won't inherit anything for her wasted youth.

She seems to know the score pretty well and is basically just looking for some internet backup and relationship advice, but that dude seems like kind of a mess. I ain't trying to hate on someone I've never met and true love and all that, but why you'd ever want to partner up with someone 22 years older than you is beyond me. She has 30 more years of work to look forward to while the husband she'll be cooking and cleaning for is retired and playing golf all day.

 Bad With Money, As It Happens Just got a message from my roommate who's on vacation in Italy. He ran out of money and needs me to send him some. What a surprise. He hasn't paid me rent yet this month either, and he has no access to credit. I've been letting him sweat for a couple of hours so far. (cross-posted from GBS)

Subjunctive posted:Could you go into that a bit more? What would be the elements of the fraud? The key is that it's already been signed, but you're altering the document. Signing a document implies knowledge of the contents, which clearly somebody can't have if you've altered it. For example, it's fraudulent to take a 100 dollar check that somebody's given you, scribble on it a little bit, and then go cash your 100,000 dollar check. It doesn't become less fraudulent just because it's a contract as opposed to a check.

I'm thinking the building manager probably signed it without checking after the change was made. It's unlikely he checked it because a) apartment building managers are the laziest people on the planet and b) it was probably a boilerplate agreement that he's seen a million times. He probably just flipped right to the end and signed it. Not fraud if you have an opportunity to read before signing and then don't.

Yeah if anything houseboat guy is BWM for not putting some better terms in the agreement. If you are going to piss off your apartment manager at the very least put in a 1 year lease for $10 a month.
