New update - you can see ticker totals across household now

New update - you can see ticker totals across household now

New update as far as I know.

You need to select household net worth on the Home Screen, then swipe right on the house hold breakdown card, you should then see holdings, press the 25+ more (or whatever yours is).

Pretty neat.

Side note, fuck UCU.

Ok this kind of blew up into something way bigger than I expected and now I feel like I’m in a weird standoff with my own landlord.

A couple weeks ago she texts me saying she’s clearing out a storage unit and asks if I want a free elliptical. I say sure, thinking it’s just some old clunky home one. I go pick it up, she helps me load it, no mention of value or anything, just “take it off my hands.”

I get it home and realize it’s not some cheap thing, it’s a full on commercial gym elliptical. I look it up and it’s like $3000 new. I don’t work out and I live in a smaller place so it’s honestly just in the way. After thinking about it for a bit I throw it up on Facebook Marketplace just to see, and it sells within a couple days for $2200.

Then yesterday evening there’s a knock at my door. It’s my landlord. She’s clearly not there for a casual chat, she never just shows up unannounced. She straight up asks me “did you sell the elliptical I gave you?”

I didn’t lie, I said yeah. She then pulls up the listing on her phone and shows me, like she already knows everything. She starts saying it was “really disrespectful” and that I basically flipped something she gave me in good faith. Then she says I should have at least told her what it was worth or given her the money from the sale. She’s claiming that I knew what it was worth and took advantage of her. Her husband was also here and not happy.

I tried to explain that I had no idea what it was when I picked it up, and that she offered it to me for free with no strings attached. I also had to get a friend with a truck to help me move it and deal with random people messaging me and all that. It wasn’t just instant free money.

She wasn’t having it. The conversation got pretty tense and she ended it with something like “this isn’t how I expect tenants to treat me” and “you’re living in MY house”…….Which honestly felt a bit threatening even if she didn’t say anything directly.

Now I feel super awkward in my own place and I’m wondering if I actually crossed a line here or if she’s just upset she didn’t realize what she had.

My wife said I should give her the money.

AITA for selling it and keeping the money?

Edit - seeing questions about why I’d accept if I have a small space… I guess I worded it poorly. I have a small garage that I don’t park my car in, so I figured I’d use it in the garage till I found out how much it was worth.

Looking at a detached 1 level rancher in Chilliwack that is on leasehold land - partially paid.

Mortgage broker I use told me that no credit union or bank will give a mortgage since its not a fully prepaid lease.

Is this true? Has anybody had any experience with this?

I will be buying it in cash but im more concerned about re-selling in the future.
