All good things come to those who wait, even if what you're waiting for is epic payback on your middle school ex-friend. This kid ("Derek") spammed this Redditor's flip phone back when he had a limited data plan and was unable to block numbers. It was Derek's vengeance after an argument, knowing it would cost OP money. OP initially wanted Derek to pay him back for those $40, which at the time felt like a ton of money to him. His parents told OP to let it go. Unfortunately, the art of letting go…

I don't know about you, but when I invite a friend or family member over, I don't sit down and tally up every dime they owe me when they leave. I mean, sure, if they go off on their own adventures or we split the dinner bill, that's all cool. But splitting the gas expenses for driving them around town? Is that even a thing? Well, that's exactly why this OP took to Reddit for some advice.

Money isn't everything… no, I take that back, it is everything. Money is perhaps 80% of life. People who already have money absolutely love to tell you that “Money isn't everything.” If you're a lonesome lawyer working 90 hours per week who never sees their family, like in a Hallmark movie, than I guess that makes sense. But for most of us, who do have loving family and friends and a moral compass, having an injection of cash would make life a whole lot easier! When you have money, you can get…

We've all heard nightmarish tales of exorbitant health insurance bills. Usually, patients don't come out on top, but in rare cases, regular folks like you and I can stick it to the big man up in the insurance towers. All it takes is a big lawyer voice, a little patience on the phone, and a pair of hefty stones.

This person had some odd restrictions on their bank account . It wasn't an issue until one day, he needed to take out lot of money all at once. As a South Korean worker employed by an American company, this person has a few restrictions on their bank account. U/luther_williams shares that unlike American banks, he has a limit of how much money he can take from his account each day. It's not even very much money: only about $216 per day, which is around 250,000 won. With the way inflation has bu…

A young business analyst saw an opportunity and didn't let it slip from their grasp. If you're looking to make a lot of money fast, you can certainly try the stock market. There are no guarantees in this game---you could also end up super broke or in debt. But if you play your cards right, just like u/TheBreakUp2013 did, you could net yourself some cold hard cash. This person provided a quick update to their much-beloved story about a deal with their boss that went wrong. They write that as a b…

Some customers won't ever be happy with the work your company does, no matter how well you actually do on their project. Take this woman, for example. She decided to take a broken electronic to an electronics repair store. The OP writes that this customer “didn't like the bill. She didn't like the work. She claimed that we'd broken something else.” Nothing they did was good enough for this cantankerous customer.

As a parent, it's only natural to want your kids to be involved in your life. That's why things like “Bring your kid to work” day exist — so you can show your kiddo off to all your coworkers, and let them see what you're doing all day long while they're at school. This dad had a similar idea of sorts… but it majorly backfired on him. U/FlashyCow1 shared a story from their time working at a burger restaurant. This place had a pretty devastating recurring problem: a faulty fridge that was consist…

Business expenses, what are they and how do they work?

These people believe that karma had their back, with instant results.

Everyone has made an unfortunate money-related decision at some point in their lives. For some folks, it could be as small as buying a ridiculously overpriced sandwich. For others, it could be as big as a messy divorce. People don't always love to admit when they've spent an exorbitant amount of money on something. It's much easier to live in denial and pretend like it was all worth it. However, these brave souls decided to own up to their expensive mistakes on the Internet. Their stories were…

No one can agree if this father is doing the right thing with his vast fortune.

Clients lie. This is the one thing that is certain for every contractor in every industry. For some reason, know-it-all clients feel like it's some kind of flex to press their hobby knowledge on someone who is literally a professional in that field. In this case, a pushy Californian client was getting his home remodeled and couldn't fight his manly urge to try and teach his contractor a thing or two...

While planning a vacation for two , this woman had no idea her friend would suddenly expect her to foot the bill. That's not how travelling with friends works — everyone has to pay their own share, unless you plan on a different way to split the costs that everyone can agree on. Even many couples will divide the cost of travel among the two of them to ensure both people pitch in. After all, travel isn't cheap, once the costs of hotels, flights, car rentals, food, and more, are all added togethe…

Congrats to this employee for standing up for what they think is the right thing, even when it makes them unpopular. Not everyone has the backbone to do such a thing. As the OP may soon realize, sometimes it helps to go with the flow instead of making a big deal out of something small. Perhaps the resolution will lead to change in their company, though. U/winterlilybell works on a small team with just three other coworkers and their manager . OP writes that their boss tends to give the employee…

There's being frugal, and then there are these people, who have let their penny-pinching get a bit out of hand. In a thread started by u/curcigm, more than 17k people shared their funniest stories of “ levels of cheapness ” that astonished them. The OP started it off with their own eyebrow-raising story — their GF's mom revealed that her birthday dinner was going to be year-old leftovers from a rehearsal dinner. It's one thing to eat very old food , but it's a whole other thing to brag about it…
