A story about BWM horse ownership and somehow the horses themselves are the least BWM part.quote:I recently was able to luck into a once in a lifetime deal to acquire a rare and fantastic dog to guard my horses. I was able to get a Tibetan Mastiff for $8,500 from a breeder who allowed me to pay with a credit card. The interest on the credit card is extremely high, so it is not an ideal situation to let it sit there.

John Smith posted:Google it. That is cheap compared to during the peak of the fad. I was just looking it up, apparently there was a Tibetan Mastiff bubble that popped around 2015 because of oversupply and Mastiffs falling out of favor with rich people. A quick search in my area leads me to believe I could get a puppy for ~$1000, but I'm sure she needed THAT $8500 Mastiff because it's the deal of a lifetime... It's possible those cheaper ones might be -gasp!- slight crossbreeds, which is of course vitally important. Only a 100% pureblood Mastiff of at least $5000 can guard horses, it is known.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Yeah college is expensive - in my eyes he committed to that when he signed the divorce agreement. That's the correct order of magnitude for "60% of the cost of college" in this country. There is a lot unsaid in the linked OP...as is usually the case. The biggest thing that doesn't add up is this: It's extremely unlikely that a divorce settlement left something like child college support so open-ended. While it's entirely possible *some* provision could have been made for it, a simple "60/40" isn't it. 60% of what? It's not like there is a standard, inflation-adjusted cost for "college" in the USA. And in the case of college costs it would need to be spelled out in even greater detail because in the USA most child support obligations stop hard at age 18 without special provisions. Most custody agreements involving what happens with the children post-18 are far more specific, i.e. some fixed amount, usually deducted from child support, contributed to a college fund, etc. Anything else is just bullshit hand-waving. Assuming she's being otherwise truthful and her mom actually did go to the court with it it's no wonder the judge passed. That should tell you all you need to know about the actual agreement right there. Then there is the whole "my dad got cancer but I think he should resume paying off my $130k student loan when (or if) he gets better" aspect that really takes it over the top. I mean, WTF.

Is Reddit selection bias in action these days? I.e. there really aren't that many young, white, self-absorbed Anime nerds who make terrible decisions by virtue of trying hard to make no decisions at all, but the ones that do exist gravitate towards posting their innermost thoughts there?

22 Eargesplitten posted:Is the UK really lovely for developers? I feel like with 7 months under your belt, you ought to be able to find a place that would take a chance on you if you just said "Well, I had an internship but it ended up having to be restarted, so now I'm looking for something permanent." The UK - or London at least - is really, really good for software developers, probably only the Bay Area has more ridiculous salaries. The problem is of course that this means every kid with a computer is convinced they can step into a million quid job (or at least a >70k role, which a lot of companies pay for kids fresh out of college). This, compared with the ridiculously predatory "apprenticeship" scheme the Government uses to let companies get around the minimum wage (highlights - a one year "apprenticeship" in "Reception Operations" and a two year apprenticeship in "Marketing" (telesales), all at £3 an hour) leads to shitloads of shovelware companies (and even some fairly high end non-software companies) getting all their dev work done at pay rates that would make a Victorian mill owner blush. There's no way of transferring them to another company because that's completely and totally not what they're for - any company offering one of these modern apprenticeships is doing it purely to pay next-to-nothing to their staff for as long as possible, and they don't care if you were one day from completing your old one, you start again when you move. GWM as hell for the companies, of course.

In the last BWM thread, there were some examples of GoFundMe and people who were asking others to pay off their insane debts. Meet this guy, who has over $200k of debt on a Ph.D. in fiction writing. quote:Justin Daugherty is a writer and publisher of literary works in Atlanta. He works hard to support emerging voices in literature and has promoted literary work through as editor at numerous magazines and a small press. https://www.gofundme.com/broke-student-blues Frankly, the fact that he was able to raise $4,000 is amazing to me, but I cannot imagine starting my professional life with that much debt in such a competitive field. If he wants to be a fiction professor, the road is going to be very, very hard.

Barry posted:$200k+ for a creative writing (or whatever it is) degree? Yeah, it's creative writing. Generally, the MFA is considered the terminal degree for the field. Many professors say "Instead of getting the Ph.D., you should just be writing your book." I guess I'll add it's possible that some of this debt is for his BA or MFA, so it may not be 100% for the Ph.D.

Chicken and Egg time: What's worse, that someone would be that willfully blind to spend money that wasn't theirs to that extent for that result, or that an entire industry exists to help said people do exactly that while extracting massive profits from them? Bonus "Omelet" question: Should taxpayers ultimately be on the hook to bail said person out so that the industry still profits? (careful, it is a trick question).
