ParticipantThanks for posting the link FLU. Unfornatually I just didnt have the energy or time to look into these “profits” for any form of reality.
Talk about a manufactured bottom/boom. All it took for Wells Fargo to only loose $300 million was for the government to step in an manipulate the markets to get a refi/housing boom, a few billion in TARP, aqusition of a failed competator, and the congressionally forced abandonment of the “mark to market” rules which were forcing reality. Oh, dont forget PIPP coming into existance to help out those troubled asset values as there will soon be an overeager buyer looking to loose money.
And I like Wells. I bank with them. I think they got forced into the TARP money, and they bailed us the taxpayer out of the BS they were gonna do with citi and wachovia. But still, all this market intervention and accounting schenanagans, to only loose $300 million!

ParticipantI like the “parking: None Known” comment. My GF use to live in the area and that about sums it up perfectly.

ParticipantOK.
1) My GF knows how much I make, how much I save, and how much I have saved in general terms. She doesnt need to know that I spent $7.62 on lunch today. She doesnt need to know I save alittle more than I let on, cause I am a saver and hate the thought of being broke.
Think of it on these terms: “how much do you want your BF involved in your finances?” My GF didnt know hardly any of it till we moved in together either. It wasnt her buisness until then. (she became dependant upon me to pay my half, she deserves to know I can. and Vis-Versa)2) Whatever you do, dont go telling him that you “found” his W-2 and are pissed he didnt tell you about his withholdings. It smacks of gold-digging and deciet on your part. If he wanted to share those things, he would have. And he wont believe you “found” it.
If you want to know what is up with him, ask why he doesnt have more financial flexability. Say you would like to plan a nice vacation together, but need to know how much he can afford. When a very small number comes back, tell him you find that strange and give him a chance to come clean on his own. Then IF he does, forget you ever ever saw his W-2. If he doesnt, deal; and you cant deal with it, find a new man. That is your choice. But confronting him with his W-2 will end up with the second choice EVERY SINGLE TIME. Money may be important to women, but it is Ego to men; and forcing him to admit he doesnt have enough of either will be disasterous to any relationship.A female friend of mine did this a few years ago. She “found” his returns and found out that he was making over 100k. She was SO happy it wasnt funny. The next day she went finding for his bank reciepts (wondering about housing DP’s and where it would get her) and learned he had almost no savings. Turns out the guy liked to gamble. He wasnt very good at it. She was PISSED! She confronted him, and that 7 year relationship was over.

I remember during Gulf War I, there was a protest against the war in Washington, DC. There was an attractive co-ed holding a sign that said “No Blood for Oil”. When the interviewer asked where she was from, she replied, “Michigan”. When asked how she got to DC from Michigan, she replied, “I drove”. I damn near fell off the couch, I was laughing so hard. Oh, the irony. Lost on her, of course, the way it’s lost on Breezie.[/quote]
I saw this once. It was at an anti-war rally for the current Iraq war. There were alot of people leading a chant about “NO Blood for OIL” and other catchy sloagans durring college. They started ringing their keys along with the chant to help create and keep a beat. Well, I was walking from class to my house, cause it wasnt more than a mile or two and it was a nice spring day. I ended up following a girl from the protest to the parking lot cause that was the fastest way for me to go too. (Ie I wasnt following her). Anyways she hops into her Fatty SUV (Excersion??? I forget) and drives off. Clueless that she was in anyway part of the problem. Infact, Ill bet she felt that she was part of the solution.
