Gave sister $20k to clear debts. 3 months later she is back demanding $7k more - and went nuts when I asked for the bills. Sadly, the OP removed the post text.

My five year old sister-in-law-niece-daughter-to-be (don't ask) just got a motorized toy car from her current parents nicer than our real car.

You can get them used for like 80 bucks, and imo you can't put a price tag on giving your kids the ability to crash into annoying peoples' shins

Took way too long for Sears to show up, and then it wasn't even for their lunatic CEO that tried to Ayn Rand the company to prosperity. They were in a bad place anyway, but boy that didn't help.

My cousins had a Barbie Jeep powerwheel! They lived s couple houses down from us and the weight limit was like 80 lbs so 2-4 kids could fit into it at a time depending on how old they were and we loved that thing.

Day 2 of the christmas presents continues. Sister-in-law-niece-daughter-to-be has just unwrapped an "EZ Snowman Kit" containing a plastic hat, plastic coal, plastic carrot, and a paper scarf. I am in awe at the master-class consumers.

Why doesn't she just ask the town dressmaker to borrow some buttons? And perhaps the local haberdasher has an old topper lying around the workshop to borrow for the season

Everyone has buttons. Most people have hats. A lot of people have carrots. Scarfs...I'll give you that, you may need to go out and buy a scarf. Or you can use the EZ Snowman Kit!

I think the modern solution is to just take a picture of a snowpile with an Instagram filter providing the hat and scarf and trappings. Reality is what is reported, not what happens. Edit: Does the kit at least come with arms? Finding well proportioned sticks with the right look is probably the only thing that someone might have trouble with.

My Mom Lost over 10K Trading Options... How to fix thisquote:I told her that the secret is buying diversified funds and holding onto them, but she saw a coworker trading options and secretly started trading them. I don't fully understand options trading and neither does she. That's what so hurtful about this, is she could go into something so woefully unprepared without consulting me. We sold them all at a huge loss so that we can take advantage of tax selling, and I reinvested what was left in VTI. So, the question is, how can we fix this? I've convinced her to put a substantial amount of money in a 5 year CD with a good rate. She told me that she wouldn't need to access the money these next 5 years and she's turning 60 soon, so I imagine she'll be able to access her IRA within the next year (someone correct me if I'm wrong). But we lost 14k. I'd like to know what's a good benchmark for us to aim to earn to replace this, when factoring future value and things of that nature. I'm still so shocked. She told me she lost some money on investments but I didn't know the full extent until yesterday. Reply comment posted:I don't really understand your question. You lost 14k then cashed out. You just have to keep making money the old fashioned way. If there were a method to make 14k easily and fairly quickly, you should just do that for your investing. OP posted:So, basically here is my thought process. She has a bank account worth approximately $150k. I think she should close that and put all that money into a 5 year CD at 3.5%. That would have a future value of around $178k if I'm not mistaken. We would have earned the $14k back twiceover for money that would be sitting in a bank account anyway.

The ATV type power wheels were better because kids wouldn't grow out of it as fast. And LOL at the weight limit, kids would be piling onto those things like a goddamn clown car when a kid in the neighborhood got one. I never thought of them as super expensive if you shop around,at least compared to a comparable gift like a bicycle or decent roller blades or something.

How to fix this While trading options is usually lol this guy must be ignoring what the market in general is doing. 500k in index funds probably would have lost a similar amount this past year. His reaction of “I lost this pile of money can I shove in this other pile of money to help” is pretty BWM.

Those things are money pits too. Before my kids outgrew it (and I dumped it on the curb with a huge satisfying grin) I replaced the motors several times on each wheel, the battery, the tires, and I think some other part in there. They wear like a mofo and the replacement parts are crazy. Now what’s really BWM and likely BWL is the community around modding these up to crazy speeds and torque. They’re chaining batteries together and doing all sorts of nutso poo poo. Sorry you crashed and knocked your head little Tyler, I’m sure the kids won’t make too much fun of your new stutter at school.
