No fucking wouldn't be?! Just call your local pd when he isn't around and open the damn door for them. Make sure they have some probable cause to enter his room.

Best thing to do is report him for drug use. If cops find drugs in his part of the home, he'll lose the gun at the very least.

personalfinance 内の phroph によるリンク I own a house, girlfriend moving in - what is fair?

[–]ijustwantanfingname 117ポイント118ポイント  (0子コメント)

They're two different concepts of fair, and both are equally valid. As you pointed out, this one is more or less designed to reconcile two different incomes living in the same home. I mean, the alternative is to ask your SO to pay above their means, or to accept a living situation below what you'd prefer, or to only date people similar income and values, and hope nothing ever changes. None of the options are perfect, but income based payments (in my opinion) have the least drawbacks.

I'll go out on a limb and assume that OP may not have the same financial resources as Google.

Yikes. I'm sorry to hear that.

The advice is similar though. Offer support to the family.

todayilearned 内の CapnCannabis によるリンク TIL that several European countries dealt with their rabies problem by air-dropping vaccinated chicken heads for wild foxes to eat.

Because it's an ordinal mapping. Darker=less rabies. If they used different hues for each level of rabies, it'd just look stupid.

But you're really just trading for someone else's riff raff.

Alright, that helps a bit. Not nearly enough to make a difference in the end though.

It is. You honestly sound like you're pretty smart with money. Don't let him convince you otherwise because he's "from money".

He makes less than I do, and sounds like he spends at least twice as much. And I'm not exactly thrifty. You're right, there's something not right here. Does he have an alternative income stream? Does he have any savings/retirement? I don't see how he could. A trust fund from wealthy parents?

Either way, the real (well, second) problem is that he's being secretive and condescending towards your valid concerns. I don't know what sort of advice you're looking for, but yeah, I'd say you're right to be worried.

With the insane miles he puts on his car for work, I'm not sure it would make a whole lot of sense to sell it off for something older.

It's a legit fear. I'm pretty sure I've seen a few episodes of Cops where they maced cuffed and charged a guy who was doing nothing but threatening suicide. Gf had called it in though.
