Yeah I have done this a few times when bill came in and it was outrageous
I have found that most of the time you can get a discount
The best thing to do is ask for a detailed breakdown of the bill, which most of the time they can't provide. Then say you cant pay if no detail

The owner who started as a plumber made $100M+
That day I went home and told my wife I fucked up and should have been a plumber
I’m surprised to read that PE associates are looking down on the trades!!🪠🚽🧻

I’ll take $1,000 a month, hands down
That’s called passive income

Something that I detest on this platform or social media in general is all the phonies putting out horrible financial advice
Everything you invest in comes down to price per unit
For stocks it’s Price to earnings

Yeah this is a bad idea
If you can’t pay cash in full for a car, then you definitely don’t need a car that costs $700 a month
You should get the cheapest reliable car possible, and take the extra $ and invest
The real most important thing you should always do is make more $

In conclusion, while both credit and debit cards have their place, for protection, rewards, and financial planning, a credit card often emerges as the wiser choice when used responsibly. Always spend within your means and pay off balances regularly.

Vesting is a crucial component of your 401(k) to understand. It impacts the total value of your retirement savings. Whether you're job hunting, thinking of leaving, or happily settled, always be clear on your vesting status.
