    I do want to buy a used car

    Yeah, I've heard those kinds of stories. This is why it's not good to be an early adopter of anything new. You're essentially paying to be a beta tester.

    I do want to buy a used car

    The ones with LiFePO4 cells do better in winter. They generally have less range, but the gap is rapidly narrowing. If you ever want to go electric where you are wait for EVs with sodium-ion cells. China is making them right now. Only a matter of time before we have them here. You'll probably...

    I haven't been behind yet but things aren't looking good for this month.

    Need a short term $20,000 loan

    Why would a scammer be trying to get such small amounts of money? They usually go for six figures.

    You've helped so many people. It's nice to see something great like this come your way!

    Need a short term $20,000 loan

    I called him today. He said this is general bank policy when you use the money in one of your investment accounts to cover a rollover. They automatically lock all your investment accounts for 1 year after. He can't do anything about it, even for hardship. The only exception is medical expenses...

    Need a short term $20,000 loan

    You don't understand. The process to get any money out of those accounts takes over a week. In fact when I did the rollover last year it took over 3 weeks to get everything ready. I simply don't have the time right now for this. Of course I understand as admin of this forum it's your job to...

    Need a short term $20,000 loan

    To anyone worried that I can't come up with $2,700 within a few months if both deals fail I offer this. This is the latest project. Five units are ready to send to my friend, and 45 will be done within a week and change. He'll pick those up in person. I'm clearing $500 a piece for these. Once he...

    Need a short term $20,000 loan

    Another thing worth mentioning regarding the second deal I mentioned. I actually needed $24,700 for it, not $14,700. The person I met who helped me with it is offering to loan me $10,000, and yet we only know each other a few weeks. I'm touched by this. I really am. Unfortunately she lacks any...

    Need a short term $20,000 loan

    Because that account, and retirement accounts, are locked until January 2027. I didn't post that little detail until post #10 in this thread. Taking money from any of those accounts was never an option. My liquidity right now is less than $1,000 in my savings account. Is it? I need money now...

    Need a short term $20,000 loan

    I'm talking to a loan shark later today about loaning me the money. He'll loan me the $20,000 but he wants $100,000 back in two months. I'll still be over $150,000 ahead if the two deals work out, so it's not too bad. There is no out for me if either of the deals I mentioned fail to materialize...

    Need a short term $20,000 loan

    I understand. Hopefully someone else here can help then. I explained my reason for lying to my financial advisor. If I told the truth it's entirely possible Chase would dump me as a client and my finances would be a complete wreck. There's no help I can get from my bank anyway. Chase doesn't...

    Need a short term $20,000 loan

    To do this would ruin any trust he has in me. Last November I did a $135,000 rollover to cover part of the fees the fake investment platform wanted to unlock my account. Of course since they were scammers they would never unlock my account no matter how much I gave them but I didn't know this at...

    Need a short term $20,000 loan

    I can provide a little more detail about what I need and why: $2,700 will result in a return of $60,000 for me if successful $14,700 will result in a return of $209,420 for me if successful Right now $2,700 is more important because if that part is successful I have enough money to go through...

    Need a short term $20,000 loan

    BTW, I tried for a loan on Candlepowerforums about two months ago and all I got was ridicule. If nobody wants to help that's fine but please don't ridicule me. I've had enough bullshit over the past 8 or 9 months to last a lifetime.
