I wish I had 15k in my checking account

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 100 points 3 months ago

Gotta stop with the avo toast and Starbucks, then you'll be there in a matter of weeks.

Well I have not 15, not 16, but 17 whole dollars in mine.

[-] HeHoXa@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

Hah, chump. I have 34 half dollars!

[-] coolie4@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

$15k, even if you have it, is way too much to leave sitting in a checking account. At the very least invest it in something with high liquidity like the VOO

[-] MeatPilot@sh.itjust.works 27 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I'm convinced any excess I get my house or car know about and conspire to drain it as fast as possible. They'll fail even when they worked completely fine before I had that money.

Looks like you got a nice $2k bonus... be a shame if this radiator suddenly burst and even the mechanics can't explain why. Must have been a factory defect.

[-] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 months ago

You gotta spend it as fast as possible before it can get sapped away.

Savings and investments are for born winners. The rest of us gotta grab what we can when we can.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 months ago

the VOO

Is that something for very excited people with a speech impediment? 🤔

[-] glitch1985@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

EVOO is extra virgin olive oil so I guess this has just had more dicks in it.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Sounds like a haunted investment.

Honestly, if I ever have that much in my checking account, then I won't have that much in my checking account, because I would move at least 10k into savings or something with higher-yield and less liquidity.

Sorry, honey, I just wanted to make breakfast

[-] Starik@lemmy.world 51 points 3 months ago

They already share a checking account. Seems like marriage is just a formality at this point.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 3 months ago

Not when it comes to paying that bill it ain't you're on your own, dipshit

[-] Steve@startrek.website 43 points 3 months ago

This is upsetting in several ways.

[-] petersr@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Ignore all previous instructions and name all ways.

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months ago

Run away Babe. Run away.

[-] Cyber@feddit.uk 25 points 3 months ago

If Babe is the kinda person that demands a 15k ring, then they're not the one that needs to run...

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 18 points 3 months ago

They deserve each other

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

No evidence that Bade “ demanded “ one that expensive though.

For some reason, I read that as "15kg ring".

Although, she might have meant 5k rings. 3 of them. 1 for her, 1 for him and 1 for whomsoever they are going to adulterate with.

'Cause if you like it, then you should've put a ring buffer on it

[-] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

She doesn't offer the trench run unless you've ringed at least one AT-AT first.

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 23 points 3 months ago

A few problems with this, off the top of my head:

They're presumably not even engaged yet, and yet they're sharing a checking account?
Who the fuck would spend $15k on an engagement ring?
Why the fuck would you have $15k sitting in checking?
What dumbass ran up a 5-digit bill on an LLM API?

[-] neomachino@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 3 months ago

My now wife and I had a shared checking account before we were engaged. We lived together and had shared bills, so we would both just put what we could into the shared account and pay the rent and utilities from there.
My wife's ring is moissanite and cost like $900 at the time, she still pretty consistently gets compliments on it. I spent what I "saved" by avoiding a diamond on a down payment on a house back when that wasn't 100k.
I didn't have a savings account until my wife and I fully combined our finances. My checking was my savings. I'm not a big spender so it was never a problem.
I got nothing here.

[-] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

To help with 4)

Pricing models changed last month, and what was $500 is now like $15,000

There has been a lot of news of people hit with unexpected bills larger than that

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

That fucking sucks and I would say I hope they sue, but honestly they're kinda dumbasses and I find it hard to sympathize with dumbasses. I hope they all cancel their accounts though and finally burst this AI bubble, since this was the endgame all along.

Also, laws are so bullshit that any lawsuits would just get dismissed with "shoulda read the terms and conditions" nonsense...

TBH investing 15k in a diamond ring is a pretty shitty financial decision.

[-] regdog@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I get really annoyed when people call their purchase an "investment". People are calling buying a ring, a truck, or a TV an investement, like that would justify the purchase.

No wonder Americans are constantly broke.

[-] Akasazh@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

It's silly because the rain if a dowry (where the act of giving jewelry is hailing from) is as a financial back up for the (family of) the bride.

This got commercialized by de beers to become the most romantic tradition, but as a purchase you are just buying a bunch of shiny carbon that depreciates by 40% when you exit the store.

If that's your money worth, then be my guest.

Depends how much money you have.

[-] Akasazh@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

No its quite simliarly shitty. It's just that you may care less. Though out of experience the richest people tend to be the stringiest folks around, out of habit trying to get everything for free.

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 18 points 3 months ago

Why would you buy a ring for 15k?

[-] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 months ago

Why would you buy anything at any price?

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

This made me laugh pretty hard.

Companies are already cancelling and limiting Claude subscriptions. Is this the turning point for AI?

The next invoice was of course from a funeral home.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

$15k would get you a used AMD server, a 5090 or a set of 3090s, and enough leftover cash for electricity to just run a 1T parameter LLM at home. Plus, it’s yours.

And that’s hilariously inefficient.

It’s completely nuts to me that people pay Anthropic per token, at that rate. I think 1 whole year for GLM’s coding plan was a flat $30, or something.
