The people that refuse to call TB by her preferred pronoun are ultimately the ones dragging the thread down. Somehow people here can demonstrate courtesy and decency in every other aspect but honoring a simple request by TB is a bridge too far

Oh that post exists, but it was misunderstood and this is the only time I will address that. Proceed with posting about being bad with money and if anyone has an issue beyond that, I have provided ways to contact me.

Not only does Moneyball refuse to apologize for calling me "it," I got a probation for making a joke in another thread that mods consider me an "it" now. They dehumanize you and then they punish you for observing that you have been dehumanized, and if this teeny tiny online instance of bigotry is too much for you guys to handle think about what it's like in real life.

When she apparently define literally every single other poster as a member of the opposing faction, is there even a point in engaging her? Please don't make things worse right now.

Wow, I see this a hot button issue. I do wanna take this time to use this as a "teachable moment" and apologize to MB. In hindsight I should've left it at my opinion on the dehumanization of black folks and not offered my two cents about what I think he should or shouldn't do in his own sub.

Moneyball posted:Please don't make things worse right now. Just apologize for calling me "it." What is so hard about this. I'm sorry that you find being called out for incredible rudeness inconvenient, but that's the price you pay for being incredibly rude. Apologize, like you would do if you had been incredibly rude to a person and not an "it." What are you so afraid of?

That's definitely a risk, but there are ways to curtail it - paying out funds directly to the entities the beneficiary needs to pay, for instance. No one should ever donate money to a charity they don't trust though - the thread will still be beneficial for its discussion of the financial challenges that minorities face.

Just put all the money in bitcoin and then use that one tool to break the key up among 5 people so it requires at least 3 of them to agree to access the wallet, nothing could possiblye go wrong!

The TGRS fundraising thing screamed "scam" from every angle, despite how pure the intentions were. Freezing it until it could be reorganised was absolutely the best idea.

https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/74e4yv/i_have_two_cars_that_i_cant_afford_advice_needed/quote:24 M 2017 started off great, I started a new job and was making more than I ever before had. I went part time over the summer (cutting my income almost in half) so that I could go to school again. That was working up until I decided I want a truck. I went for kicks and giggles to dealerships getting an idea of what I could afford and what I couldn’t. I didn’t want to do a trade in and was planning on selling my 2008 Passat with ~170,000 miles, then getting a loan on a truck roughly $10,000 so that my payments would be about the same. Somehow I gave into the pressure of the salesman and manager and ended up coming home with a 2011 Frontier. After a few days I realized I can’t afford the truck and filled with desperation pleased with the finance guy to help me get out of the truck and into something cheaper. The “only car” that they could get me into was a 2014 Altima. It’s a nice car but now I realize it’s only $100 cheaper per month. So now I’m stuck with two car payments. I owe $3,500 on the Passat. I would love to get that car sold however I’m not entirely sure how that works with the loan. The bank obviously won’t give me the title until they are paid so if s buyer hears that I don’t have the title and have to have money first I wouldn’t blame them for running away. My 2 big questions are this: 1) how do I go about selling the Passat while having a loan still. Is there a form that they can sign showing the bank will give them the title? 2) the Altima is worth ~8,000 and it ended up costing me ~16,000. What are my best options? Keep it and just keep paying (roughly $270/mo)? Trade it in and get a truck around $5,000 and roll over the loan into that then actually have a truck like I originally wanted? I love the attitude of "I realized I want a truck, therefore I will buy a truck" and "somehow I spent twice as much as I intended". Like he has no control over his/her/its own actions. Also, how do you still owe $3500 on a car with 170,000 miles on it? The best part is he decides the solution is to get a second truck.

Did I get approved for a good auto loan?quote:I have around $1500 every month to do whatever and I got approved for $34,716, monthly payment of $650, APR of 10.39% for 72 months with $0 down. Should I try to apply elsewhere for a better rate or is this pretty good for an auto loan?

There's a way to make these kinds of things work, we just haven't figured it out yet. Goons sometimes help goons, like that Vegas homeless guy we helped ship off to Detroit. I'm the theoretical concept that he'll have $1500 to waste every month for the next 6 years. Krispy Wafer fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Oct 6, 2017 |
