A) it's a loss risk to the bank because someone might gently caress you over and then you might just walk away from a negative account, b) it's a loving money laundering risk because it's real fuckin close to how a hawala would look on our side (presumably with less cash than a hawala).

My boss was very excited to tell me about the Hello Fresh membership he's been doing for a few months and how much money they're saving now. Since they pretty much always ordered out before, I'm wondering if they actually are coming out ahead.

I've been listening to a podcast called The Dream which delves into the world of pyramid schemes and MLMs and it's pretty great if you're interested in the psychology and strategy behind how these scams rope people in. Also plenty of schadenfreude at how easily fools are parted from their money.

If it blocks one meal out per week plus reduces grocery expenses it's a win for us. Very difficult to spend less than the price of an $80 box on dinner at a restaurant for two. Also the food is pretty healthy.

The gf is gaming some promo on a local version here so we got six meals out of it for like $40. No way I’d pay full price ($78 for three meals) but if you can grab those starter offer and daisy chain them you can get some cheap grub on the VC’s account.

I Screwed Up And Modified My leased Truck posted:Before I start I just want to say I made a stupid decession and modified a leased 2017 Tacoma . I put a lift, rims,Bigger tires and bumpers. My lease is up in a year now and I won't be able to turn the truck back in the way it sits. My current payment is 311$ a month and I have 13 payments lefts. The lease buy-out is 28,000$. I had a dealership offer to purchase the truck for 25,500$ as it sits now . I am looking into getting a used car with a much cheaper payment . My question is, will it be better for me to continue paying the 311$ for a few months and save extra money and eat the loss at 2,500$ negative equity. Or would it be better for me to take out a 28,000$ auto loan and pay it for a few months and then trade the truck in possible breaking even or coming out with a little positive equity in the trade in. My credit score is around 740 so I estimate a loan payment to be about 600$ a month. I make about 1,000 every 2 weeks https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/9tddgh/i_screwed_up_and_modified_my_leased_truck/

So the car is drivable and just looks bad? Just don't fix it if you can't afford it. I also love that one stupid reckless uninsured driver managed to hit another stupid inattentive driver with a suspended license. Though there's a good chance it's made up to do a "See but they are bad too!"

My fiancee just did some reviews of these companies and the conclusion we came to is that they are definitely aimed at people that eat out all the time and are not for people that normally cook at home.

Our grocery store has started putting together meal boxes at jacked up prices for the people too dumb or lazy to make a shopping list. They seem to sell like crazy.

It seems to me that the main benefit of those meal kit services is having someone decide for you what to cook. Might as well just get the list of recipes and buy the ingredients your drat self. *googles it* Apparently this type of service also exists, go figure

You could definitely do it, but you'd need to keep on top of the trendy restaurant lists, filter out anything that looks too divey or "ethnic," and never, ever consider drinking water.
