Tree law is great, but I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t believe any story about it (like pretty much any other kind of story on reddit or anywhere on the internet). Once the first tree law story got popular there were a flood of “my neighbor, who is rear end in a top hat McButt, cut down trees when I was on vacation..the trees were fully mature white oak trees, are those valuable?” stories.

Cyrano4747 posted:The key is to basically do a mainstream version of this thread. There has to be a market out there for "holy poo poo that's BWM" style shows. I’m 100% in for a show centered around a ‘Ben Wyatt and Chris Traeger from Parks and Rec’ type CPAs who are jointly responsible for advising lottery winners on their newfound financial success. Some people will follow their advice and have a comfortable lifestyle of leisure with no need to work, the majority will buy 6 cars, 2 houses, all the expensive toys, and be bankrupt 3 months after investing in a shady Colorado weed company.

Guy from my college recently sold off his trash hauling business for $$$. Initial overhead was him and his truck, which makes it easy to sustain bad months as compared to a restaurant with lease payments + perishable food orders + salaries.

Dumb question, where do you find someone to sharpen your kitchen knives? Sur la table has a sign for sharpening, but I can’t shake the feeling it’d be some employee running it through a bad sharpening system. I’d invest time and money into home sharpening, but all of that is soon to be dedicated to the ultimate BWM move baby

Not keeping up with sharpening knives make you more likely to cut yourself, which is BWM when you get careless and lop off a chunk of finger while dicing onions for late night tacos and have to get it taken care of at a late night ER. ...not that I’m speaking from experience or anything.

Is this bad because it’s Domino’s, or because of the sheer quantity of pizza you can get with $20 at Domino’s? One shall not besmirch my chosen chain pizza product

One thing I’ve never fully understood is, since there’s a finite amount of Bitcoin somehow, what happens when bitcoins go out of circulation? If 50% of bitcoins are lost, do prices just go down to the next “1/X Bitcoin” level of granularity forever?

Tell that to the Well Fargo rep who got college me signed up for a bank account and debit card that I was encouraged to use all through school. I used the card without issue, but I would much rather have spent those years building some sort of credit history while better protecting my bank account.

After reading a r/wsb comment around how the poster would like to hold their GME options for 91 days to get the profit categorized as long term capital gains, I’m very excited for the comments from people who don’t realize the tax implications of what they’re doing. Hopefully it’s as fun as the bitcoiners who sold at a significant profit, got FOMO and spent everything to buy more coins, and were then informed they owed short term taxes on the profits from the initial sale.

StormDrain posted:Cooking is a great cheap hobby. I've been working on bread and I was in a retail therapy mood and like, is there anything I can buy that will make my life easier? And no, I already have all the tools I need to make great bread. The most I can spend is on fancy ingredients, and even a $10 loaf of bread, while an expensive loaf is a pretty cheap weekend activity. Salsa/hot sauce making is super cheap as well. Buying hot peppers in bulk won’t cost you more than $3 per batch until you scale to like 5lbs of peppers at a time.

Highly probable the “terrible coffee” in the NASA office is a Starbucks stand too. My last downtown office job had a stand in the lobby of our building, with a highly rated independent roaster across the street. I went to the Starbucks stand more often than not because the coffee was good enough for government work and a much faster transaction.

A bag of fancy beans may cost more than free crappy coffee, but per day it’s way cheaper than even a medium black coffee at Starbucks.

This post is even worse because you're implying that the people who comforted their dying relative are somehow bad. I wouldn’t say they are bad, but I won’t say it’s not a little opportunistic to go from decades of no contact to a full court press. It’s not the only money-related eyebrow raiser we’ve seen from them, but that’s not relevant to this BWM thread.

I’m going to instruct my executor to buy a remote chunk of land in Alaska or somewhere and hide an inscribed bar conferring 100% of the remaining estate to the finder. Whoever visits me before I pass can get a section of the treasure map, but they’ll need to steal the rest of the map from the other people who visited. Or they can work together and trust the handshake deal to divide the estate..

My grandfather sold land to a couple that came into around $6m post-tax from a lottery ticket. They rolled in with new trucks, ATVs, and all the other toys that go with that lifestyle. 3 years later the property was back on the market. It’s likely they did not account for how quickly ~1.8% property taxes adds up year over year.

Never Read Reddit rule aside, is GME still breaking people’s brains? It looks like there’s now at least 3 subreddits around it (wsb, GME, superstonk), but they’re all the same level of manic “To The Moon! We’re all getting rich at $10k/share!” posting and conspiracy-like due diligence posts.

laxbro posted:That is why the federal govt (and I’m assuming large corporations) put such an emphasis on internal controls. There should be multiple levels of approval for spending funds and there should be separation of duties that involve access to funds and approval of spending. From my time spent testing internal controls at large corporations, key reconciliations and segregation of duties controls are the highest risk controls that need to pass. You can explain away why insufficient password requirements don’t pose too much of a risk, but a single point of contact having power to change the books and touch cash is going to be a bad time. Or there’s more convoluted routes where someone can create a fictitious vendor and approve monthly invoice payments to said vendor for a couple extra grand a month.

My in laws put my wife on a credit card used for gas n’ groceries throughout high school and college and she graduated with up a great credit score. Meanwhile nobody taught me about credit cards so I used a dumb WF debit card through college and could barely get a credit card after graduating due to lack of history. In hindsight that’s probably a good thing - I don’t think my younger self year old self would have handled the limit I have now, while my subconscious thinks I still have the $1.5k limit I started out with.

Midjack posted:Do you trust the vendor not to "accidentally" debit your account for 10x the expected charge? Bank sure as gently caress won't help you out. This happened to me, but just on credit card and actually on accident. We were paying a moving company and the invoice processor at their main office read out our bill correctly, but fat fingered a 0 at the end when inputting the payment. Hit our card for 10k instead of 1k. Getting that sorted would’ve been a lot more frustrating if it had hit our account directly.
