This Cannot End Well...

...but its good snarking material!

OMFG.Just one specific rehab task (some plumbing) and the quote sucks up
over 6% of the house's total value? Then he low balls them based on some
'sweat
equity' of his own, so we will see how that turns out...

Particularly when one looks at this more recent post: http://www.flipthyhouse.com/2008/03/12/updates-regress-and-a-little-progress/

And this quote is priceless; he should hope his employer doesn't discover this:

Longer update tomorrow, when I’m at the day job and have time for such stuff.

New stick poking target! Goes by name of MatronTard! See the links below for more information! Clicky clicky!

At least she knows what her VOCATION is:

My Vocation
I’ve finally figured out what my vocation is: I help people fight for economic and social justice to better their lives by assisting them to remove those barriers to their success.

I think the following guest post by Arthur, below, says a lot of what we're all thinking.

Got to go for CFP®Tard !
Cut and paste of my criticisms below:

"They (FIA) already sued me and obtained a judgment against me in another state"

You move from state to state to avoid your debts?

This woman seems to spend all her time re-jigging her snowball debt figures and not doing anything about it (sound familiar to Haterz?). Surely if she sat down and did the figures once, then, apart from some minor adjustments every now and then, there would be a plan in place that she was working to?

Still, reading further we find:

"So, with $3,700 in living expenses and $2,732 in debt payments, I need to
bring in $6,432 after taxes. That means about $8,362 gross income per month.
Wow. I've never made that much before.....

And that was 12/22/07. January 08 only went down because of debts being sold and some interest and fees were dropped. February 08 went up by $5037.

I love working with students and seeing the light bulbs go on when they finally understand a difficult concept.

Like compound interest?

..... She is a member of the Financial Planning
Association,....Currently, Sherri is fulfilling the education and experience
requirements necessary to achieve status as a Certified Financial Planner
professional. She is enrolled at Kaplan University in the Certificate in
Financial Planning program, a Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards
registered program (authorization to use the highly regarded CFP® mark of
distinction is conferred by the Certified Financial Planner Board of
Standards).....

Do they do any diligence checks? This woman can't organise her own debt snowball correctly; has, or is facing, judgements in two states for debt; and has admitted that to service her current debt levels, she needs to bring in more money than she has ever earned.

Its Voting Day! Exercise your right to snark!

You've submitted the nicknames, and now you get to vote! The poll is over there on the right. Closes in one week so vote for your favourite! The one that will change your life completely!

Think of it like voting for a new president, but different.

Yes, we CAN give him a new nickname.

(and yeah, I'm going to hell. I'll be sure to have the margaritas going for all of you haterz and snarkerz).

Contest Announcement!

Submitted by Sheila via email:

this guy is a hick with 6 kids who screws up his income taxes, illegally collects unemployment and wonders why he is broke, he not nuts but is a raging dumbass http://needtobedebtfree.blogspot.com/ you need to read a few pages back for some real gems

I figure, this guy needs a name. We have MomTard and PopTard has been given to her long-suffering loving husband. And what better way to get the juices flowing than a contest!

Ogg has already won the murst contest so you're out on that one. But you can win this one! And there might be prizes. Maybe. If you're good little haterz and snarkerz. And if anyone has any ideas for prizes.

How to participate:

One: go read the blog. I recommend some sort of BEvERage for when you do (unless you don't drink for whatever reason, then a nap might be in order afterwards)

Two: submit your suggested nickname and why it should be that in a comment. Deadline is one week today at midnight pacific time.

Yes, its that easy.

Submissions will be presented to a panel (me and Nacho the Cat - if he has time from his plans of world domination; if not, perhaps his catservant, T, can do it) for shortlisting. Following that, there will be a poll to vote on the name.

And if you don't want to submit a name and just want to snark, go ahead.

You know there had to be something about UFOs to make it on here

Props to Akubi for this one.

Snarkers and haterz, may I introduce you to the Prophet Yaweh? He'll teach you how to summon UFOs.

No really!

There are no videos to prove this, of course, since he just got his camcorder back from the pawn shop.
