Most of the viral GoFundMe's (or equivalent) in NZ lately have been for people that either elected not to take out travel insurance or were not up front with their pre-existing conditions and then got up poo poo creek while on holiday. Problem is with our public healthcare covering accidents (including for foreigners to an extent) and a poor understanding of private healthcare some people forget they don't have the same safety net overseas or assume their private healthcare will automatically cover travel too. Medievacs are no friggin joke either, guy I knew ended up with $180k from public donations to cover his medievac and private hospital care in Thailand after he crashed his scooter with no insurance and got a traumatic brain injury. You'd think with the regularity these pop up in our media people would be better informed about taking out travel insurance but the belief it won't happen to them apparently takes precedence.

Not the usual posts from Reddit. "I called a suicide hotline" Wherein many Reddit posters relate their experience of having the police called by the suicide hotline they just called, to bring them to a hospital, get released (or not), and end up with a massive hospital bill. The takeaway from most of them was "calling the suicide hotline is never ok since they'll just make things worse. If you do call, never say that you're actually suicidal, just that you want someone to talk to." Calling the suicide hotline: BWM? Discuss.

Thought I would try contributing to this thread instead of just lurking! 22k in cc debt and not freaking out quote:I do the finances in the house and collectively between my wife and I we have 22k in CC Debt. I feel like I should be freaking out but I am not. I am uncomfortable with the CC debt we are in but feel like I made good financial decisions with the Credit Cards at the time.

Umister posted:The card that I get stressed about is our capital one card which has about 11k on it and is collecting the full front of interest. Interest is around 200 a month and we have knocked it down from 13k in the past couple months. We used this card for a Disney trip in which we put about 8k on it. We bought luggage, stuff for the house and a few other odds and ends that put the other 5k on it. This is the part that tells me that that family is hosed.

According to the page some lawyers put together to sue them, OptionSellers customers aren't just broke, they're facing a margin call.

Effectively using 0% APR intro offers on credit cards can be great with money if you are disciplined, paying a full interest credit card rate on a Disney vacation is VBWM.

So they assumed with Iran sanctions that oil would go up, but it went down instead. It wasn’t a terribly bad call and I’m sure lots of traders lost money this last week, but holy poo poo ALL THE MONEY plus extra?

Somaen posted:(Not a finance person) if OPEC cuts production and the energy prices go up, are they still hosed? Without all the details, it depends. If the margin call happened, their brokerage probably executed a trade on their behalf to staunch the bleeding on their end and keep it from getting even worse. So, even if the price went back, the short position has been traded away, and they're still out. Naked shorts, not even once.

I mean nothing he says there is fundamentally wrong and like everything there are great options and awful stupid options, and diversifying your asset classes and strategies is generally a good idea, he just completely leaves out the extreme downside event where when the options are not in fact worthless at settlement you get loving killed

If you buy options all you can lose is what you paid, if you sell you could lose more then you got, whoopsie.
