Is there anything preventing me from taking a loan at a high interest rate but then paying it off in full immediately? I’m in the market for a new motorcycle and while I have the cash to purchase one new off the lot in full, I know that agreeing to a dealer financing plan is a negotiating tactic I might be able to use to help get the final purchase price down. Whenever I’ve gone into a dealership offering to pay cash up front I’ve always been quoted full MSRP an…

In a world full of laptops, is there a place for the iMac? Image: Samar Haddad / The VergeApple hasn’t updated the iMac in well over two years, and it sells far more laptops than desktops these days. What does all of that mean for the future of the desktop computer that saved Apple from bankruptcy 25 years ago? Continue reading…

Time for full frame Nikon Z8 or D850 Hi! Its time for me to upgrade my D7500. It’s been great but I would like to move to full frame for full size prints. I’m debating between the Z8 or D850. In time, I’d be upgrading my lenses. Cost of the Z8 and the LTZ adapter would be a bit hit to the wallet but, I’m trying to convince my self that the old D850 can still compete. What are yo…

Would you Payoff your student loan in full in my situation? Hello Everybody, I just wanted to gather everyone’s input. I have $12,500 remaining in student loans at an interest rate of 4.5%. I can settle this balance and still maintain 6 months’ worth of emergency funds in case of unforeseen circumstances. However, I’m pondering whether it’s truly beneficial to pay it off ahead of schedule. Upon conductin…

ZipAir Full-Flat Trip Review (SFO-NRT) I was able to snag Full-Flat seats on ZipAir for my recent trip to Tokyo. In my view, ZipAir has struck a good balance between value and the business class experience. The seat itself is every bit as good as a mainline’s modern lie-flat seat. Everything else is economy or low-cost carrier quality. Since the seat is what I cared about the most, I…

Full 401k withdrawal to pay debt. Thoughts? CONTEXT: I’m 23 years old, and my 401k isn’t massive, but is sizable enough to pay down all my minor debts. I lost my job two months ago, and got a new one in another state. Selling my house/house repairs and mortgage payments ate my entire emergency fund to nothing, and I lived solely on credit cards for that 2 month period. I’m now settled, an…

Should I pay my student loans in full before the interest accumulates? Here is my current situation. I owe $35,000 in student loans. There is no interest until Sept 1 so I’m thinking about paying them off in full at the end of August. I have $45,000 in an HYSA. $20,000 in a saving account plus an I-Bond for $5,000. I also contribute to a ROTH IRA and my 401K at work. I’m currently shopping around to buy a condo. I …

In California for 7 full days, is a long layover in Vegas worth it? Hi all! I am going to visit the USA for the first time from Scandinavia. I have always dreamt of seeing the West Coast, so I booked tickets to LAX and will stay in California for a week. – I’m planning to spend half of that time in LA, and the other half in San Francisco. – On the 7th day I’m planning to fly back to LAX from SFO because on the 8…

Full frame camera for travelling? I will soon be travelling long-term as a digital nomad and looking to trade in my current camera/lens selection for something more lightweight and practical to fit in my backpack. ​ My current Nikon set-up has served me well for nearly a decade, along with my recent Fujifilm purchase, but I want to trade in/sell it all for something that would …

Summer’s in Full Swing at the Clam ‘n’ Putt Our family has been FRYING UP CLAMS at the Clam ‘n’ Putt for more generations than we can remember. When it’s summer, you can count on two things: HOT SUN, and us here making clams, because Neptune totally fucking cursed our family. Basically, like a thousand years ago, one of our ancestors was starving on a boat. One day he caught a clam and at…

Quitting my job to pursue school Full time. Going to be financially independent from my parents and don’t know where to start.. Not sure if this is the appropriate subreddit, so my apologies in advance. So I’m in my mid 20’s and I decided to quit my dad’s company (worked full time for ~3-4 years with a 55k salary). In NY/NYC, this is too low, and I felt miserable working there regardless of pay. My parents are very successful so I know they’ll be fine and can hire someon…

APS-C vs full-frame lenses I have a Sony APS-C body and I’m looking for an 85mm portrait lens. Let’s say I get this lens (Sigma 56mm APS-C), the description says it is equivalent to 84mm full-frame. Does that mean that when I put it on my camera, the “real” focal length that my camera sees will be 84mm or 56mm, since it is designed for APS-C? Now let’s say I get this (Ze…

Should I pay off loans in full or pay off monthly? Hey I have the $ to pay off my student loans in full. After paying I will have around $18k left in my savings. Is it dumb to pay it all off at once? Or should I pay off the highest amount remaining group loan every month? (Example: Month 1; pay $7k to cover highest group loan – Month 2; pay $4k as this will be the next highest loan, etc) Only wo…

Is no one watching ‘Full Circle’? Good limited series from Max, ending next week already with 6 episodes. I can’t even find a subreddit for the show. It’s pretty underrated, feel like it’s flying under everyone’s radar. submitted by /u/zedarecaida
