It sounds like it's still early in the relationship, if she doesn't want to get married anytime soon there is no reason to sever, unless she starts asking for a loan.

I still don't understand how her sister forced her to buy horse riding gear when she was young. Do 10 year olds (or whatever age she was) really have the money to pay for saddles and what not? I also have not clue what she's saying in that second bolded part. Why would she lend money to her mom for her own eye surgery?

Her sister apparently manipulated her mum to force her to go horse riding, somehow. And her mum bought her all this horse stuff she doesn't want and now her mum is complaining. And she wishes for her mum to pay her back some money mum owes her so that she can get an eye surgery for that money.

This is some sweet BWM. Taking your entire state pension as a lump sum. That seems alright so far. What could possibly go wrong?quote:The freedoms were introduced two years ago and allow those over the age of 55 to take their entire pension pot as a lump sum, with the first 25pc tax-free as usual and the rest taxed as if it were income. Well this could happen where someone spends it all in six months. At least he spent it on a flash car, gambling and drinking instead of wasting the money paying bills. quote:One of her clients spent £120,000 of his pension pot on “gambling, a car and alcohol", she said. Ms Hewitt wrote that this individual had held a lucrative engineering job until he was made redundant, his house was repossessed and he fell into a spiral of depression. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/pensions-retirement/news/retiree-spent-120k-pension-six-months-car-gambling-drink-mps/

The article is about a change made in 2015 in the U.K. that gave people a lot more freedom to draw down their pension funds at whatever rapid idiot pace they wanted. Turns out may have been a bad idea. It would be like letting people in the U.S. take out their social security in a lump sum and then hope it works out somehow.

Ahh, yep that would be horrible. My friend's parents got a long-awaited settlement that they should really sock away for the future as only Mom works (to a very limited degree), and Dad is diabetic.

Assuming they are in their 50s or older and don't drive a ton, that could be the last vehicle they ever buy, and they will never have to make a car payment again. What is BWM is financing it or trading it in after 5 years.

Hey so I've been away from this thread for a few years. You guys may know this: whatever happened to that Slow Motion guy? Last time I was hanging out around these parts he had a whole thread dedicated just to him - I think it was titled "train wreck in slow motion" or something. I can't find it anymore though for some reason. Never mind, title got changed. I found it! Slow News Day fucked around with this message at 07:20 on Oct 26, 2017 |

What is BWM is financing it or trading it in after 5 years. I think you have it completely backwards, buying a new truck in cash when 0% or nearly 0% interest rate financing is available is very BWM. Financing a gently used truck at a very low interest-rate that has done its most rapid depreciation but remains under warranty is potentially GWM.
