My local VW dealer has a used 2019 Beetle convertible for $35k. Original sale price was like $28k I think? Even if the used market is hosed right now, just who would buy that?

Disc golf was originally played with objects or tone poles, and people still set up renegade object courses at local parks (e.g. tee from bench by fountain, target is lamp post by entrance sign) which are basically free, but not as satisfying personally.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Lots of people apparently think that living in Downtown Denver is a deathtrap unless you are driving a 4WD all-terrain vehicle with chained tires. Admittedly, a RWD convertible is a bad idea as a primary car in Denver. But it's doable if you live close enough to walk to work and what you need, or are willing to use public transport. We plow the main roads and highways well enough to get by with a front wheel drive vehicle with ABS. Getting out of your suburban neighborhood might be a bitch when things get really bad, but that's why we love our Subaru's.

Even in a pandemic-related global shortage the VW dealers around me can't give those away. The market for lightly used anything is going to be great in a couple years when everyone trades in the car they bought because it was the only one on the lot for the car they really wanted.

But it's doable if you live close enough to walk to work and what you need, or are willing to use public transport. Honestly most front wheel drive sedans are fine in the snow. I mean, they're not great, but in places that know how to salt/sand/plow snowy roads you don't NEED a Jeep or some other off road car, you just need something good enough with some snow tires on it. but lol at trying to drive a RWD convertible in a snowy area. That's just asking for trouble... even if you can maintain traction, it's probably super low to the ground and will bottom out. This is why people in snowy areas have a single all-year car (i.e. a Subaru), or they pair their fancy-pants summer car with a cheap beater.

Past performance = IRONCLAD GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS drat, why didn't I think of that? Just buy Bitcoin cheap, and keep it in my portfolio as its price increases! Edit: You might as well have an infographic that says, "If you bought $5,000 worth of Bitcoin in April 2011, when Bitcoin was $1, and sold it April 13, 2021 at $63,588, your investment would be worth $317,940,000!"

The only difference between those 2 account values is the assumed 35% tax avoidance on the 401k. That graphic doesn't advocate for their service, just tax advantaged accounts in general.

I got $14k from them for a 2016 Mazda 3 manual with $6k (retail price to fix) body damage. We paid $18.5k for it new. Used cars are completely insane right now. If you can go carless, now's a great time to do it.

IVF and surrogacy is surrounded in so much bureaucracy to prevent exactly these kinds of situations, even to use our own genetic material my husband and I had to sign a serious number of legally binding forms for IVF alone. I can't think for a second that is any more than a creative writing exercise.

Before you read this, try to guess how much he blew with 8 months of contributions being cashed out from his 401(k).quote:I made a stupid financial move and my 401k was cashed out, how heavily will I be taxed? quote:The withdraw will be counted as income, so you will pay income taxes on it, and an additional 10% penalty, so $ 50 in this case. quote:Auto signed up for 401K I didn’t want quote:
quote:Oh. Ok. They told me on the phone I was unable to withdraw at all. So that’s not possible for them to do that? I figured to would be illegal to hold my money completely. He has been "investing" for 25 years, but doesn't realize the difference between a 5% match (100% returns) and a 5% return. What has he been investing in for 25 years that has a greater than 100% return every year? Apple products - not Apple stock, but actual Apple PCs that he fixes and resells and Guns. Also, 401(k)s are an illegal seizure of property. Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Aug 3, 2021 |
