Sometimes it's short and sweet. Getting scammed right now? quote:Someone’s calling me saying that that there’s an arrest warrant on me for failing to do my taxes properly, and I need to go to a store and buy $1000 in gift cards and give the codes to them to prove how much money I have in my account. Then they’ll get rid of the warrant. (Very run down version) They also say if I talk about this with anyone, they’ll use this against me because the calls being recorded. They’re talking with me as we speak. I dunno, better ask on reddit to be sure.

I was dumb and cosigned a car loan for a friend. - personalfinancequote:Hey all -- from the title and my obvious throwaway username, you've already guessed it. I (26f) was dumb. Super dumb. I was sitting next to my (really good, perhaps best) friend (25f) while she was trying to buy a car after she had totaled her previous one, and her credit alone wasn't enough to get a new (used) vehicle. I was like, "oh well, we'll be friends forever, right?" and cosigned. I already know it wasn't a good idea, so if we can stay away from the "well you shouldn't have cosigned" responses, that'd be great. If that would solve all of my problems, I wouldn't be posting, but here I am. For personal reasons that don't belong on this thread, I'm worried that she'll use our cosigned auto loan to further tank my already low credit score. Any options on how I can save my credit if she decides to be the worst kind of person? Going good so far, I guess... OP posted:In short, no. She ended the friendship with me this morning. Uh oh...

On the plus side, they should be able to send that to the Treasury and get it mostly back. If they can find 51% of a bill they’ll replace it

Aw man, that's sad. Sounds like they were using the envelope system? Isn't Krispy Wafer a bank teller? Can't you bring a bunch of damaged bills and get them replaced? Maybe I made this up but I thought there was a way to salvage ruined money.

Oh yeah, they'll swap out the cash. You may need to tape it all together so that the serial is readable. That was just shredded and not cross-cut so it's possible to fix it. Back when I was a teller I started taking 25% off the ratty cash we'd just be sending to the Fed and building my own money with it. I made a single bill with all the denominations because why not. Also made a lollypop man with George Washington's face.

If you send the federal government a bunch of shredded cash will they really spend hundreds of man hours ($$$) piecing it back together for you?

OctaviusBeaver posted:If you send the federal government a bunch of shredded cash will they really spend hundreds of man hours ($$$) piecing it back together for you? Well I definitely want to correct your assumption that the federal government and specifically the treasury or mint operate with any sense of the accounting profitability or cost of the things that they do, but that being said they probably would not unless as stated above you were able to at least partially piece the money back together with clearly legible unique serial numbers

Yes, they do it for free. The reason for this is that people need to have faith in the durability of currency for it to work. If you tell people 'oh sorry your house flooded, now your money is worthless lol' then they'll be less inclined to keep and use currency - instead they'll look for something that they can hope will survive damage or disaster. Obviously this is less of a modern concern now that the alternatives are bank accounts and bitcoins, but it was a big deal for a long period of history where the idea that if your house burned down you could at least get some of your damaged savings redeemed was important. They actually ask that you not try too much self-help before submitting the damaged currency, so you don't have to try to piece anything together yourself - this is because someone who buried their money in a coffee can and now its a damp brick is going to do more damage trying to fix it themselves than the people who have this as their job at the treasury. They don't even need to have the majority of a note to reimburse you, as long as there is enough to identify it and they can be confident the rest was destroyed (ie, if your moldering mess satisfies them that you didn't manage to clip notes apart and attach them to some decomposing linen perfectly).

Cash Confessions: On AUD215k we still struggle to make ends meetquote:As parents of an eight-year-old son [and two other children who only get mentioned in the opening paragraph], their gross income is more than $215,000 a year, a figure more than $100,000 above the national household average. But Toby, a finance manager, and Leanne, a teacher, say it’s just not enough. Edit: Oh, my adblock hid the actual budget, no need for my guesswork. There's a picture on the page if you want to know the details about their piano & recorder & tennis lessons and dancing & swimming & golf fees, none of which go into the "entertainment" category, as well as $1100 on "cars" that isn't fuel, maintenance, registration, insurance or loan repayments. uvar fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Oct 6, 2018 |

RoastBeef posted:How the gently caress did he spend 46e3 on a Subaru Forrester? An Australian dollar is only worth $0.70 USD, there are significant tariffs on cars imported to Australia, and taxes are higher. So it isn't crazy that an optioned Subaru Forester could cost $46k AUD I guess.
