Inudeku posted:Grown men with decent paying jobs should move out. I've got coworkers who have lived at home for the first couple of years out of college with well-paying engineering jobs and god drat have they been able to save a lot of money. They're able to drop nice down payments on houses at the age of ~25 and I won't lie: I'm a little jealous that they're able to live rent free for those first few years and stash a ton of money, especially with rent being so expensive in Orange County. That said, there's no way in hell I could live with my parents -- I wanted out at 18 and I'd never go back. But if you've got a stable family life and are willing to put up with the lack of privacy for a few more years, I don't think it's crazy for employed graduates to stay at home for a bit longer and stash tons of cash.

gently caress it, I'm counting this as people bad with money. Goon finds money and immediately wants a gaming PC:The Iron Rose posted:Hi Goons! So I just found a $5000 Romanian Lei note abandoned on the ground, which google kindly informs me is worth around $1,650 Canadian. The Iron Rose posted:It wasn't actually on the side of the road. I used the words abandoned on the ground as a way to communicate the sudden windfall, blah blah blah, bad choice of words. It's old and dirty and I found it stuck in one of the AC vents in my house. I like to think I'm not nearly dumb enough to steal money and brag about it. Though I didn't actually know that picking money off the street was illegal though, so... learn something new every day? RandomAction Man posted:Sadly I have to inform you that there is no 5000 new Lei note, the one you found is from the 90s early 2000s. 5000 old lei equates to 0.5 new lei. And around 3,5 lei would be the value of one canadian dollar or something like that. Star War Sex Parrot fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Jul 10, 2014 |

il serpente cosmico posted:I'm curious what kind of car she has. I can't imagine financing anything for nearly $30K in her situation. Selling it and buying something cheaper makes the most sense, but I wonder if she's under water on it. quote:The car is a 2013 Toyota Prius, 4door hatchback. She got kind of screwed when she purchased the car by herself. She was convinced to buy a "full warranty" that really isn't covering anything other than oil changes. Of course, this was a huge mistake and she's taking ownership (or lack thereof) and trying to manage this now.

flyboi posted:Good lord you do understand that octane is nothing more than the compression your gas can take before exploding? There is no extra power unless you have a car tuned specifically for higher octane. Without going hardcore AI there's literally no reason to drive beyond the recommended octane from your car manufacturer.

Subjunctive posted:That's what I figured, but then we got into the $10-on-coffee-deserves-a-stoning stuff and I wasn't sure what the rightthink was any more. Find a system that works for you, and as long as you're hitting your financial goals (and the goals are reasonable, which is the bigger overall consideration to me) then keep on doing your thing.

Ashcans posted:Yea, pianos are terrible to move, a lot of professional movers won't even move them. You have to get a mover that will bother with it, and there is usually a special surcharge. Doing it properly, even on a small upright, requires more people and special equipment. The smallest pianos still weigh 300lbs or so. I have no idea what people even do if they have a grand piano, I assume you just roll it out the window to kill someone and call it done.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:If you are buying the ESPP and holding for a long time, then he is right that stocks plummeting 20-years before you want to cash them in is a good thing. I've had look-back prices in the past that quadrupled my 6-month contributions with zero risk. At a minimum I'm at least making 5% (the discount for my company) on every 6-month contribution and good luck beating that with a CD. If you always sell day one I don't even consider it speculating -- it's just collecting a guaranteed 5%-400% (different depending on company) on part of my salary every 6 months.
