Hopefully no one is over drafted right now…
Isn’t that how capitalism works, now that I think about it… The more you have, the more you have and the less difference it makes.
Which account?
checking - no change
savings - nice bonus
IRA - I might be able to retire eventually
Not really. Sure there are a few projects or purchases that I might move up by a few years, but my lifestyle is too stable. Honestly, I think I would just put a chunk into retirement. I’m a little behind.
Checking account? No change – I have more in savings (emergency fund)
All accounts, including mortgage? ouch. I’d still be above zero, but I wouldn’t like the new, bigger house payment.
it would be much welcomed. I could use it to pay off most of my credit card debt
Yay $4!
Having been recently opted for a voluntary layoff to avoid my team needing to lose anyone, I’m in a spot where I can finally relax, maybe take a vacation, and center myself to decide what my next move is. It will likely be another management position, but I have the luxury of not needing to rush to answer that question. I have an idea for a project that I started working on and could turn into a business idea. Doubling my money would mean I have more time to relax and figure myself out (I’ve been VERY stressed, and didn’t even realize it until I left). Ultimately, I’ll get bored, and having more money to do something with would mean I could throw more money at the stock market to try to improve my retirement.
Does doubling my money change much? Hard to say. In the short term, no. Long term, probably.
Makes me feel a little less nervous about the car I know I’m going to have to replace in the next year or two
Man I hate how car dependent we are. So hard to get anywhere without one in a lot of places, and they are just constant money sinks.
I’m out of work and slowly burning through the savings so doubling it would give me an extra six months headroom
I know one thing for sure: I’d definitely be getting guac on my burrito
Dude wtf. Are you insane?
Damn dude is loaded over here
Nope, cash shrinks. Assets inflate.
Not really. I’m fortunate enough that I have enough money in the bank to hold myself over for a few months. It’d just double that amount of time for me.
I could probably get the new camera I want, but I could do that now too, I just don’t want to spend 4 figures on something this moment.
Considering we have the money to be used to rebuild our house in our account, hell yeah!
2x0=0
2 x -1 = -2
:(
You forgot the overdraft charge. That -2 is now -37.
Me, who’s saving up for a house
yeah same.
do you have this weird feeling like “I’m trying not to get fired until I do this?” even though I don’t want to get fired after it either, but for some reason I feel that pressure
You did it friend, you beat inflation.
Me who spent most of their savings on a house last year: 🙃
oh no…
