Some things do end up going up in value during a price bubble, and it's a matter of luck to cash out while the price is high. See muscle car pricing leading up to 2008.

The default 401k contribution percentage for new employees here is lower than the maximum the company will match. Wonder if whoever came up with that got a raise?

Anyone who would try to exploit a public records screwup to steal their neighbor's driveway is likely to be greedy enough for that.

That was my favorite part. As if you can participate in a class action lawsuit now that you chose to lose your rear end on trading the car in.

Unless the case is settled in the year 2147, I've never heard of a class action paying that much to an individual.

I get class action lawsuit notices for products every year that I don't own anymore. None of them require I still own/use the product. Insurance companies have plenty of algorithms for determining reduced value. They could also refund the couple of thousand dollar premium people paid for TDI engines. KIA had to do something similar when they fudged their MPG figures - affected owners get a check every year for the averaged difference in mileage.

Actually free will is an illusion and all our choices are determined by our genetics and environment, so attempting to distinguish between "hard work" and "birth" is a fool's errand. Hope this helps

Wanting to buy a house with four friends, all of whom are making minimum wage and barely have savings, while you have no savings outside of your figurine inventory: Bad with decision-making, even if it's not actively BWM yet.https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/43uhsu/need_to_know_if_i_can_afford_home_with_4_friends/ posted:Need to know if I can afford home with 4 friends, advice and general help would be great (self.personalfinance)

I originally read that as 'buy a horse with four friends' and got really excited. Buying a house is also pretty bad but doesn't compare to the picture I had in my head.

That figurine collection sounds like an amazing BWM story that deserves better than to be buried in a plan to buy a house.quote:So I myself am self employed and buy and sell figures, currently working on building up inventory so I can lower prices and sell it all to build up some savings, currently have $23,000 of stock and $35,000 in my collection that I am willing to sell if need be "I spent $23k on figures which I haven't been able to sell, maybe I need to lower the price (and probably sell at a loss). And that's not counting the $35k on my own waifu collection"

Instead, there's 3 guys living with him, still paying off their 90k house. Sounds like a great setup for a sitcom, if you ask me!
