I just feel bad for this guy:quote:Applicant’s SOR alleges ten debts totaling $27,418. He experienced significant family problems that resulted in unplanned costs. These problems include his wife’s ongoing mental illness, the unplanned pregnancies of his daughter and son’s girlfriend, housing problems that required his family to move, and legal bills following his daughter’s criminal conduct. Applicant sought the professional assistance of a bankruptcy attorney, filed Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and is on a repayment plan. Applicant has mitigated security concerns alleged. Access to classified information is granted. CASE NO: 11-09785.h1 Two pregnancies, criminal charges, crazy wife. At least he's still got his security clearance.

Thanks to a lapse in my record-keeping, I owe the government $375, and will probably owe them a similar amount next year. It's not something I owed but forgot to pay, but rather a penalty that was completely avoidable. Now seeing as I can just pay that without any drama I don't know if it necessarily belongs in this thread, but drat do I feel stupid for burning over $700 because I couldn't be assed to spend 2 minutes and make a note in a spreadsheet a year and a half ago.

thylacine posted:Props to that guy for spinning his story into a whole self-help brand for himself. I guess. He never says if he gave the money back. Wouldn't knowing you're depositing a fake check be a crime itself? It looks like he just has a shortened version of the story up now that doesn't talk about the ending, but from what I vaguely recall of reading it years ago, he didn't end up keeping it, although I don't recall whether it went back to the bank.

tuyop posted:I floss religiously every day and brush carefully and wear my night retainer thing because my teeth were very expensive. And I don't really eat sugar or anything acidic. We're they all at the same dentist? I've heard a couple of stories of propel who had fine teeth switching dentists, and all of a sudden the new dentist discovers all of these cavities that need to be filled despite not being visible on X-ray. I mean I guess any deviation in the surface of the tooth can be called a cavity, and it's a judgment call as to whether something should be filled (you could be nipping a problem in the bud), but it seems like a lot of dentists do go a bit fill-happy to pad their numbers a bit.

Good with money (?) : If you have a savings account under the same bank, put it in there, and hope they forget to take the interest back when they correct the error. Although a couple weeks interest on 760k isn't really much to get excited about these days.

The local car co-op here (which is kicking zipcar's rear end in terms of market share) has a plan where you only pay $3/hour plus a mileage rate, plus you get half of that $3 back for any unused time if you end your booking early. So it's pretty easy to just add an extra half hour or hour when you book just in case, which is probably part of why they're doing so much better. Anyway I've been using it for about a year and even using it a fair bit (2x a week for a while) it's way cheaper than owning and running a car.

melon cat posted:I just read this article that has been circulating the Internet. Long story short- an individual bought a $90,000 Tesla Model S. And like many Model S owners before him, he financed a large part of the purchase- a $70,000 bank loan. I don't get it. If they declare the car a loss, doesn't the insurance company have to pay $70k instead of $30k? I thought they usually did that when the cost of repairs was greater than the book value of the car.

I know it's still too much, but it was somewhat sustainable and it kept her happy) and I gave her a hundred bucks at the beginning of the month to last her all month to eat out (to be fair, I'm down to 15 myself, but 10 of it was paying for her poo poo and 10 I used on non food). Maybe think of it as less of a "budgeting kick" and more of "we're changing our spending habits so we can <financial goal>"

It was posted around December of 2014. Brought me a chuckle. Buying in to peak oil* and being completely, startlingly wrong about it was helpful for driving home the lesson that one can't predict the future. *by peak oil I just mean the idea that production peaks and oil stays pretty expensive, not all the wacko mad max type stuff

Of course all the calculations have to assume every single dollar has equal utility In practice, 100 million dollars is probably not 10 times better than winning 10 million dollars.

Changing your mind is a lot of effort, and everyone's natural inclination is to just keep all of their current ideas and twist whatever you read into supporting it. So if you go into reading the four pillars wanting to bet it all on black, your going to interpret it as a justification for bet it all on black.

From the bankruptcy thread:quote:He brought up an example with Best Buy that offers a secured credit card and the collateral is whatever you purchase on it. I guess its in the fine print or something (I thought you had to pay a deposit to open a secured card, which I have never done) because clients he's had overlooked it and thought they had an unsecured credit card. Is this real because holy poo poo America.
