Nail Rat posted:Since it's AGI though, you're talking about someone who most likely has well over 150k gross household income. They should be maxing two 401ks, for starters. So a two professional couple with incomes of about $120k-150k each would blow right past this. Just like the starving people getting their taxes raised in that WSJ image.

Alternatively, there's gotta be some baptist church around that needs a giant snake pit for the Halloween saved house "Satanic Panic" scene.

180,000/20 is 9,000, right? From the sound of it, you might be able to pay half the mortgage off of that, then if they don't replenish themselves flip it and take the equity to a house that isn't a ticking snake bomb.

What I want to know is if the pit is big enough for "tens of thousands" of snakes, will the house's foundation eventually collapse, crush them all, and set the family free?

It turns out that they are actually load-bearing snakes, and if you remove enough of them from the snake-caves you'll destabilize the foundation of the entire house and trigger a sinkhole-like collapse.

If they can ship 20 snakes a day they can pay off the mortgage in 15 months! Although I'm not sure that global snake demand exceeds 20 garter snakes a day. E: although if that happens, it means that this one house has more snakes than the entire world wants, which would be hilarious in its own right legendof fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Mar 21, 2017 |

Oh man. I hate snakes. Even the suggestion of signing a snake-waiver at closing would have sent me running. Edit: this story is from 2011. Looking at zillow it was taken off the market by the bank shortly after this story came out. Hasn't been resisted since then. Zero One fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Mar 21, 2017 |

Hey guys speaking of bad with money, I am about to have 800 bucks capitalize on a 28k student loan because I could use the wiggle room this month (just moved to a new apt). I should really know what this means long-term because it sounds scary but I don't. Here's to hoping that getting to keep $350 this month doesn't end up costing me 10x more in the long run. *sigh* at least my graduate degree was still cheaper than a new car loan, that and the stories of people owing six figures helps ease my troubled mind

They should just put out snake food and stuff and make more and more snakes until it's such a bad problem the HOA/city/county/whomever steps in and fixes the issue. They need to take it from 9,000 snakes to 90,000 snakes.

Nail Rat posted:I mean, there's a logic to it. A household that's approaching 200k gross income, they're reaping a lot of benefit from their degrees. I'm not sure other taxpayers need to subsidize their college debt. PAY MY BILLS, PRESIDENTE DRUMPF. This tax season was a sobering laundry list of making too much money to qualify for various deductions. What a stupid, unfair world.

Not a Children posted:Nope, and this is why I don't trust myself to even go looking That poo poo is pants on head crazy. Wife and I bought in the midst of an upswing in pricing in our area... we were putting in offers with escalator clauses of +$100k. Ya - $100k over asking. People were waiving their financing clauses (if it fails to appraise, you have to cover the gap between what the bank will pay and what you offered). Oh and pre-inspections. Sweet gently caress. We spent $2000 on pre-inspections at least. The one we ended up with was good in the end - no crazy escalator, no pre-inspection, just a good old fashioned boring house buy. I feel like this was BWM but then I look at rent in our area and I'm like this was GWM.

I enjoy having it, but it's still middle class welfare and if I'm already on the hook for thousands of dollars, what's a few more. Now everyone else can owe money too. Come enjoy the fresh hell I endure every April.
