Usually you tell actors to break a leg, but have you ever considered applying for an ARM?

I feel like a moron even asking this, but is there any way the friends who cashed checks would ever be found legally in the wrong? That's such an extremely dumb move on the guy's part that I honestly have no idea how it would play out.

I mean, theoretically I assume it's theft if they're taking money from him without his consent, but lol at trying to convince anyone that "no I wrote those cheques as a joke, and we had an agreement that they should never be cashed!"

That's a classic. Thinking about it through the present lens, I blame the parents for not educating their child on how banking operations work.

The Chairman posted:I haven't yet heard any podcast encouraging me to invest my retirement savings into MeUndies and Squarespace SiriusXM has a lot of ads for "start your own franchise" like Drama Kids and Sports Clips and something about installing blinds. Those seem a lot like spending 100k to give yourself a 60 hour a week job.

Someone needed to teach him how to VOID written checks, but hopefully he learned something this way too.

The "making jokes asking people how much money they needed and then writing them a fake check" bit makes me think they were signed but not blank. I'm having a hard time seeing how the guy would insist it was a joke while using reasonably small amounts of money. Like, if you were doing it as a bit why not write all of them for $666,420.69 or something?

"I'm only getting $300 for the trip this time instead of $1000, but I guess it makes sense that im punished somehow. Biggest lesson learned: don’t mess around with a checkbook, or if you need to, make sure to write void on the checks."

Checks are loving great, anyone can use the account numbers to clean out your bank account regardless of what you write on it. Amazing technology.

https://www.brides.com/gallery/american-wedding-studyquote:In just the past year alone, average wedding costs have definitely gone up. In 2017, a wedding typically set couples and their family members back about $27,000, but in 2018, that number increased to more than $44,000, according to the Brides 2018 American Wedding Study, which surveyed more than 800 recent brides and brides-to-be. From another link on that site: quote:Brides' study, which surveyed almost 850 brides-to-be or newly married women, found the average amount spent on engagement rings in 2018 was $7,829, compared to $5,023 spent in 2017. Not sure how self-selecting and/or scientific a study it was, but man, wtf. Nobody post about your own dumb wedding, please.

My BWM parents finally paid off their house. They were really excited to no longer have a mortgage payment and were going to finish paying off other bills Instead, my stepdad bought a giant new Silverado with an 8 year loan. (An 8 year loan is better because the payments are smaller that way, you see. No amount of arguing or math can change this fact.) My mom was ok with it because he NEEDED a new truck because his old one had bad gas milage.

I've got a couple of curmudgeonly friends that refuse to use electronic payments of any kind (bank-to-bank, venmo, etc.), and will only deal with checks "for security reasons". They don't understand/care that checks are hilariously insecure and reveal way more information than an electronic payment.

Somebody compare that average engagement ring cost to the average household income, and see if the De Beers marketing play is still holding up

Yet again the rest of the world has units of measure figured out and we don't. It's really dumb and deceiving that not all "1 MPG"s are equal. The 1mpg from 15 to 16 is way bigger than 35 to 36.
