I don't hold long term grudges. I can barely remember what day it is let alone what someone did to me long ago.
Yes …no so much a grudge …well maybe it is cause I simply refuse to darken the shops doorway ..the shop in question is an electrical store in the main shopping hub where I live . When we first moved here we had to have a set top box to get TV ..so we bought one from the store in question ,it didn’t even light up and my DH is tech savvy so he knows about that stuff …. Took it back and the owner of the store questioned me how we’d try to use it ….and said it’s second hand now ..so I won’t replace it …..,so I left and phoned the distributor listed about the item ….he would send us a replacement for the faulty one to the shop ( seeming he had the one we’d bought ) Well we got sick of waiting and bought another after a month …. Then after 3 months had passed I contacted the rep again who said he’d supplied the replacement box some 3 months ago right after I’d contacted him ……but the shop had sold our replacement ….he is very well known as a shop to keep well away from he’s a sleezy slimy sales man ..he’s always advertising for new staff as well So just as well we’d bought a replacement but it cost us twice the price ….actually we’ve recently binned the extra one we bought and never got the other one
I’m not trying to turn the thread into banking problems but I’m sure this guy is going to hold a grudge or at least change banks.
I have been grumpy since learning if one's bank or CU goes under, you don't own the money you have in the bank while it is in there, you only own shares in the bank and the insurance on your funds won't cover it if more than, say, two large banks hit the skids. And the Great Reset means your assets are already gone, if the rumors are to be believed.
I am not sure about credit unions, but banks have had the authority to "opt in" your accounts since Obama signed the Dodd-Franks act in 2010. It was a reaction to the 2008 crisis, and put back into place some of the reforms FDR put in place after the Depression and removed by Clinton, which led in part to the tech problems around 2000 and the 2008 financial crisis. Much of Dodd-Franks was good, and what wasn't was somewhat weakened by Trump during his term in office. I don't think the opting in of consumer accounts is covered in this article, but this explains much of what was done. Janet Yellen thinks more control of your accounts and banks should be put in place. Just as the Federal Reserve promised no more financial crises just 11 years before the biggest one in history of the U.S., this won't solve the problems either. If you don't hold it in your personal possession, you don't own it. https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/dodd-frank-act/
Plus, if you don't put it in the bank, the government will consider that suspicious, and they'll seize it under civil forfeiture laws, and you'll never get it back.
Welllllll, they just reassessed my farm and hubby's house this year and they are in different townships. They are both up one third. That means quite a bit more money to be taken yearly and we don't have any new income. They will take everything and we WON'T be happy!
So…if ya sell one piece of property, the taxes will be paid but then you’ll owe more taxes on the sale and any gains. If it isn’t the Fed it’s the state and if it isn’t the state it’s the local government and if it isn’t any one of those the EPA, HOA and all the rest of the alphabet organizations that have a shovel in that pile of manure work to bury anyone in it who can’t fight back.
Some grudges can be justified and some not so much. The smaller ones you can let go of, but it's once bitten twice shy for the major ones.
There's no point in carrying a grudge if you're going to drop it when it becomes inconvenient. I choose my grudges carefully and stick with them forever.
Depends on the seriousness of the betrayal. I never forgot or forgave my wife for cheating on me - even while she was terminally ill. Friends begged me to visit her before she died. I reminded them that we all die, so there is no reason to have any sympathy for her. I also explained that cheating was not the worst thing she did - to me or to her first husband.
