Crimson Lights: Chapter 15

Master List

Changbin enters my apartment with a bottle of tequila in one hand and a 12-pack of Modelo in the other, a toothy smile on his face.

I groan as he sets the alcohol down on my coffee table. “You can’t be fucking serious,” I say, but he ignores me to walk to the kitchen for two shot glasses. “My brain is still fuzzy from last night!”

“Hair of the dog,” he responds as he joins me on the couch. He opens the bottle and pours out 2 shots, handing one to me. His playful grin is accompanied by an arched eyebrow as if to say ‘You in?’

I sigh and begrudgingly take the glass from him, silently cursing my weak willpower. “Fine!” With that, he clinks his glass against mine and we both down the shots. I feel the sharp burn of the tequila turning into warmth as it settles in my stomach. He hands me an open beer can to chase it with.

“How’d the meeting go?” I ask as I take another sip of beer.

“Great. He’s giving us double what we asked for, which will allow us to expand the scale of our real estate operations.” He takes a swig of beer, then lowers his voice so that it’s barely audible, and mouths to me, “And even better, it’s all clean money.” It’s common for them to speak in code when discussing their less-than-legal activities outside of their secure offices. I’ve grown accustomed to this over the past few weeks. They never openly speak about the other side of their businesses, only the legal aspects, the entities that Han has meticulously protected within the boundaries of the law to ensure they are beyond reproach if anything goes sideways.

I nod. “That’s great. I have no idea what any of that means, but it sounds like a win.”

He laughs, “Oh, it’s definitely a win!”

“Did you hear back from Lauren?”

“Yes. Thanks for talking some sense into me earlier. I was second guessing everything. But we’ve been messaging all day. I invited her over to my place for dinner on Tuesday.”

“Dinner?” I scoff. “I hope she doesn’t think you’re cooking.”

“Hey, I cook!” Changbin shouts in an attempt to defend himself.

“Pop Tarts don’t count, sweetheart,” I tease.

He pouts playfully. “I’m ordering take out, but I’m telling her that I cooked it,” he admits with a grin, very proud of his plan.

I laugh out loud and pour us both another round of shots. “You’re starting your relationship off with a fantasy.” I hand Changbin the glass.

“I have to learn if I can trust her not to make fun of me when she learns I can’t cook or grocery shop for myself,” he explains with a serious face, complete with a shrug. I start to laugh so hard that I slide off the couch onto the floor, barely managing to keep the contents of the shot glass from splashing. “It’s not funny,” he whines as he takes his shot.

“It’s so funny!” I take my shot and rejoin him on the couch.

“Anyway,” he gives me a very Hyunjin-like eyeroll. “She says she really likes you and wants to do a double date with you and Chan.”

“That could be fun,” I respond. We spend a few minutes talking about potential date options, settling on bowling or pool.

Changbin spots something on the bottom shelf of the coffee table and reaches down to get it. “Is this the letter?” He asks, opening Chris’ note.

“Yeah. Did I not show it to you?”

He shakes his head as he reads. “Wow,” he says. “I didn’t realize it was like, a legit 4-page love letter.” He re-folds the pages and hands them to me. “I don’t think he’s written anything like that since….”

“Since his first girlfriend? What’s her name again? I think it starts with ‘A’.” I place the pages back on the coffee table.

“Aja. I didn’t realize he told you about her.”

“He did.” I respond. Chris and I previously had a conversation about our first loves, the first people to break our hearts. His was Aja. They’d met his senior year of high school and they’d gone off to college together.

“We were not a fan of hers,” he says as he sips his beer. “She was a stuck up bitch. The exact opposite of you, actually.” He pours more shots. “Let’s not talk about her.”

After the third shot and our second bottle of beer, Changbin asks, “Ever thought about learning how to defend yourself? Just thinking about the incident last night and now that you might be associated with us, it could be helpful.”

“Are you offering to teach me?” I chuckle, wiping beer that spilled on my chin with the back of my hand.

"Sure, why not?" He stands up, rolling his shoulders back as he prepares to show me the basics. "Let's start with the stance."

I get to my feet, a bit unsteady from the drinks but eager to learn. “I have had boxing lessons,” I say as I get into my stance, feet apart, knees slightly bent, fists in front of my face. He nods approvingly as he makes slight corrections on my form, his hands firm yet gentle on my hips and shoulders. My skin tingles where he touches me, and I try to brush off the sensation, blaming it on the alcohol.

“Not bad,” he says as he squares up opposite me.

“I know all the punches and everything. But I’ve never actually sparred or been hit. I like my face too much!” I laugh.

"It's a good face,” he agrees with a laugh. “Okay then. Well let’s see what your punches look like. Throw a jab at me—a light one, don't actually knock me out," he instructs, a playful glint in his eyes.

I laugh, feeling a little ridiculous. I throw a soft jab in his direction. He easily dodges it, his reflexes sharp despite our alcohol consumption.

"Come on, Kay, you can hit harder than that," he teases.

Feeling emboldened, I aim another jab his way, this time putting a bit more force behind it. When he swiftly dodges the blow again, I immediately follow it with a hook that catches him off guard when it connects with his chin.

“Woah, killer!” he shouts, rubbing the point of contact where my punch landed. “Nice.” He squares back up and we start to circle each other. “Now since you'll most likely be facing opponents who are much bigger than you, your focus should be on taking them out quickly or causing enough distraction to get away. Aim for sensitive areas like the nose, neck, crotch, groin, and knees. A swift and powerful strike to any of those spots should buy you the time you need to get away.”

“Got it,” I reply confidently as I throw a fake jab towards him, testing his reflexes.

He chuckles at me. “You also have to get comfortable taking a hit,” he says, his voice laced with a playful challenge. “It’s bound to happen and you don’t want it to catch you off guard when it does. So for every blow you land on me, I get one on you. Deal?”

“Uhm…okay,” I agree half-heartedly, not really wanting to get hit at all. Before I can get the words out, he lunges forward quickly and strikes my thigh with a solid punch before backing away with a mischievous grin. “Motherfucker!” I squeal from the sting of his fist against my flesh. “Oh, okay! Let’s do this then!” I exclaim as I try to regain my composure and mentally prepare myself for the pain of getting hit again.

“Don’t kill me,” he laughs, getting into his fighting stance and holding his hands up for me to strike him again. I start swinging at him, focusing on trying to catch him off guard again. He easily dodges most of the punches. “You can do better than that,” he taunts with a smirk. I glare at him. I throw a couple more punches near his face, then I switch tactics with an uppercut into his side causing him to jump back. I smile triumphantly, but it is short lived when he tags me in the shoulder in response.

Changbin and I start circling each other and we go back and forth trading blows for about half an hour. He moves with deft agility, as I try to find new ways to surprise him. My punches are getting better and better with each strike, but I’m not quite cutting it against Changbin’s skill, his movements quick and precise. Although I don’t land every hit, I land enough to suffer the consequences of our deal. My legs, which have taken most of the shots, start to get tired. I lunge towards Changbin, but my foot slips on the smooth floor, sending me stumbling toward him.

In an instant, his arms are around me, pulling me tight against his chest. Our breaths mingle and my heart starts pounding so loud, I am sure he can hear it.

“Gotcha,” he whispers, his voice low and unexpectedly husky. Our gazes lock and everything else fades away into the background. His eyes search mine, intense and unreadable. We stand there staring silently at each other, our bodies pressed together, for a few moments. His pink lips are tantalizingly close to mine and for a moment, I think he might close the gap. I stop breathing when I notice his eyes flicker down to my lips and his tongue darts out to lick his own. Then, as if snapping out of a trance, Changbin steps back abruptly, releasing me as quickly as he’d caught me. I steady myself, trying to ignore his sudden distance.

"Good reflexes," I manage to say, my voice barely more than a breath.

"Yours could use some work," he replies in a half-hearted attempt at humor.

We stand there for a few heartbeats longer, the unsaid words hanging heavy between us. I force a laugh, hoping to dispel the awkwardness that has settled over us. "Guess I'll need a few more lessons," I say, massaging my wrists and stepping towards the couch.

"Guess so," Changbin agrees, with a small smile, but his eyes remain a bit guarded. “Another beer?” he asks as he walks towards the kitchen.

“Sure.” I sink back onto the couch and watch him walk away, my mind spinning with confusion about what the fuck just happened. I reach for the tequila bottle and pour another two shots. I down mine immediately in one shift motion, not waiting for him.

He returns from the kitchen and hands me a cold can of beer, but avoids looking at me. He sits down on the couch, but is noticeably further away from me than usual. I can sense the deliberate shift in his mood. I hand him the shot glass and watch as he swallows the clear liquid, followed by a long sip from his beer. I wait for him to say something, as it’s unusual for him to stay quiet for long. But he just looks down and fiddles with the can in his hand.

"Binnie,” I say delicately to get his attention. He raises his head to finally look at me. “What was that about?" My question hangs in the air, a frail thread ready to snap.

"Nothing," he says quickly, clearing his throat and looking away. "Just….,” his voice trails off. He scans the couch and coffee table for something; his eyes eventually land on the TV remote. He reaches for it without another word.

I wait for him to finish his sentence, but when he doesn’t continue, I frown, but before I can press further, he busies himself with the remote. The tension from moments ago lingers like a stubborn fog, both of us acutely aware yet unacknowledging.

"Ah, here we go," Changbin mutters, thumbing the power button. With the flicker of the screen, he navigates to the streaming app and initiates the live broadcast of our show. So I guess we’re just not going to talk about this, I think to myself before lying back against the couch and placing my feet on the coffee table.

We settle into the comfort of our routine, letting the ridiculousness of the Housewives’ cast of characters and their scripted reality drama overscore our own silent questions. The tension eases as we laugh and roll our eyes at the screen. He asks me a question about one of the previous seasons, and that breaks the ice between us. We are relatively back to normal, back to us.

As the episode rolls on, my eyelids grow heavy, each blink longer than the last. My head finds a resting place against the solid warmth of Changbin's shoulder. His body stiffens for a second before relaxing, accepting my weight as if it were a truce. I feel him wrap his arm around me.

My eyes blink open some time later. In my cocoon of drowsiness, I barely register the sound of someone in the kitchen, the faint clanging of dishes. Changbin’s shoulder twitches below my head.

Chris walks into view as he approaches the coffee table, a garbage bag in his hand. “Chris,” I say softly with a sleepy smile.

“Hey, babe. Didn’t want to wake you. I’m just cleaning up.” He grabs several of the empty beer cans from the table and throws them into the bag.

This fucking guy. Too perfect. I sit up slowly. “You don’t have to do that,” I say softly as I stretch my arms wide above my head and let out a contented sigh as I feel the relief in my muscles.

My motion causes Changbin to wake. “What?” he blurts out, slightly disoriented.

I laugh softly. “Nothing. We just fell asleep.”

“Ah shit. Sorry.” He rubs his face before running his hands through his messy hair.

“I can’t believe the two of you drank more!” Chris exclaims as he finishes collecting the cans. “Have fun?”

“Ugh…yeah,” Changbin answers uncomfortably before standing up. “I should go.” He reaches out his fist towards Chris, who daps him up.

"Alright, man," Chris, ever the hugger, pulls Changbin in towards his chest and wraps his arms around Bin’s back. After a moment he pulls away to look Changbin in his eyes and says, "You okay? You seem... off."

"Fine," Changbin answers too quickly, the word a sharp note slicing through the calm.

"Okay..." Chris trails off, unconvinced as he steps back from Changbin. He doesn’t push further.

"See you around, Kay," he whispers, his voice so faint.

“Bye Binnie,” I say as I give him a warm smile.

He smiles back, then retreats towards the door. I hear it click shut behind him.

In the quiet, Chris' presence looms. He furrows his brow, his intuition sharp as I watch him silently ponder the puzzle of Changbin's uncharacteristic behavior.

"Something's up with him," Chris murmurs more to himself than to me. He turns back to me. “Hi.” he whispers, his arms wide.

I stand up and walk into his open arms as he envelops me into a deep hug. I purr a soft “Hi,” back to him, wrapping my arms around his waist and resting my head on his chest, leaning into his familiarity. Tilting my head up, I press my lips into his. “I’m tired,” I say, my voice sounding like a 6 year old’s.

“You’re drunk,” he says, kissing my temple gently before releasing me.

“That too.” I pick up the tequila bottle and a random plate from the table and walk them both to the kitchen. Chris ties up the trash bag and places it next to the garbage bin. As he washes his hands and dries them on a nearby kitchen towel, I drink a glass of water. I place the glass in the sink, then grab one of his hands. “Let’s go to bed.”

I guide him down the hallway to my bedroom, my fingers interlaced with his. He hugs me from behind and kisses the nape of my neck. We slip under the covers, limbs entwined, and I sink into the comforting heat of his body. Within seconds, I am lulled back to sleep.

Hello! Do you have tips, advices or any helpful resources on financial independence for beginners? Thankyou in advance!

Of course 💞

Generally, to gain financial independence you need to start by setting a goal. After you set a goal you need to write down your actual scenario as it currently standards. Then you brain map different strategies and actions you can take.

This is probably the easiest time to establish financial independence. It doesn’t matter if you’re 15 or 55, because of all of the tools available to us on the internet.

As a base:

Set a financial goal: Start by setting a specific financial goal that you want to achieve, such as paying off debt, saving for a down payment on a home, or building an emergency fund. Having a clear goal in mind will help you stay focused and motivated.

Create a budget: A budget is a crucial tool for achieving financial independence. Start by tracking your expenses and income, and then create a budget that allocates your income towards your financial goals and expenses. Consider using a budgeting app or spreadsheet to make this process easier.

Mint is budgeting app I use, it helps you track your expenses, set financial goals, and stay on top of your finances.

Reduce expenses: Look for ways to reduce your expenses, such as cutting back on unnecessary subscriptions or finding ways to save on utilities and groceries. This will free up more money to put towards your financial goals. Just like time, people don’t realize how much money they waste. Every bit counts and adds up. Make sure you’re investing your money on things that are absolutely needed- and not simply wasting money you can be using to make more money.

Invest for the future: investing your money in a retirement account or other long-term investment vehicle. Accounts that pay dividends. This can help you build wealth and achieve financial independence over time. This requires some capital and you should have some money saved before you consider starting.

Some authors I recommend would be:

1. Dave Ramsey: The Total Money Makeover

2. Robert Kiyosaki: Rich Dad Poor Dad. His YouTube channel is a gold mine. https://m.youtube.com/@TheRichDadChannel

3. JL Collins: The Simple Path to Wealth

4. Ramit Sethi: I Will Teach You to Be Rich

In order to achieve financial independence, it’s Important to build passive income streams. Passive income requires a smaller budget than what people may believe. If any, in some scenarios.

Passive income can be for example:

Dividend Stocks

Affiliate marketing

Selling digital products

Royalties

Real estate investing

Side hustles can also be passive income steam, and/or have the ability to replace your current main income stream.

I can give you a ton of side hustle ideas. Hundreds. That you can do using your computer. If you give me niches that interest you, I can list recommendations.

The most important aspect however, is mindset. Having a positive mindset when it comes to money and wealth. Your mindset will either drive you to take actions or hold you back. Your thoughts and beliefs about money can have a profound impact on your financial success. Learn how to develop a mindset of abundance and to think creatively about how they can increase their income and build wealth.

I’ve had so many jobs.

I started working at 15. I worked part time in Coronado Mall as a sales associate at Journeys. Learned a lot of sales technique and how to mess with people’s minds with language and product visuals. At 16 I left Journeys and I went to Buckle and Pacsun. Buckle was hard because it was purely based on commission and all their items were over the top expensive. Pacsun was one of the best places I had been employed at. They gave tons of perks out for their employees and always had fun innovative activities and training during our staff meetings. At 17 I had taken all required credit hours in high school and had mainly elective credits to finish so I worked full time as a sales associate at Bakers Footwear since I got outa school earlier.

At 18 I auditioned at Fantasy World and I continued to work their till I was 21. I also traveled around the US to dance and model. I made relationships with some amazing artists, photographers, and business owners. In between this time of my perminant night time employment, I worked as a Edible Arrangement employee prepping food and arranging fruit. From 7am-3pm. I also worked a short time at ABQ Live the magazine as a representative and sometimes sales person. I was trained in advertisement and marketing and sales strategies.

At 23 years old I decided I need to get a more serious job. I worked at a after school program/summer program which confirmed why I wouldnt allow my child to go to one. I also started my onlyfans. I had been selling content on the low already but onlyfans was an amazing idea. I also took my skills from the afterschool caregiving job to a real in home and hospice job. Where I worked for my grandma as a caregiver. I also jumped into CNA school and got certified. 4 years on that and my mom decided to take over for my grandmother.

At 27 years old, I was still dancing 4-5 days a week and taking modeling gigs regularly. I also worked time to time on set as and extra or stand in. I begin getting jobs for promotion and band representation. Where I got hired by many many different business owners, photographer and designers. It’s been a lot of fun.

I am 31 now. Still modeling, doing brand representation, promoting, and now doing some event coordination when I am hired for it. Currently going to school for real estate.

Last stop for careers.

I’m sure some of you are wondering about school.

I am about to type the most ridiculous sentence ever: I didn't mean to buy a zebra.

I went to an auction today. It's a shabby run down place that's been open for 60 years and does a no reserve auction, where everything must sell, every other Thursday. Mostly estates, insurance stock and business closures. You never know what's going to be for sale and whether it will go for thousands or for a song. I knew there was an antique zebra hide rug up for auction with no reserve price and I figured it would go for hundreds or even thousands and I was just interested in watching the bidding. I collect oddities and it was cool so I was interested to see who would get it.

When I got there I went to have an up close look, they encourage you to thoroughly check what you're potentially buying because all sales are final. It's a bit moth eaten, the fur has worn away in a couple of places, it was cool to see a real zebra hide up close. There were a couple of other things I was actually there to bid on (they all went way over what I was willing to pay) but I did snap up a couple of bargains. Then the zebra came up. The auctioneer opened at $500, no one bid, so he dropped to $400, $300, $200, no bids. He said $100 and I sat there dithering, and thinking how it was super cheap, and I couldn't really not bid on it at that price, but I have NO WHERE to put it. While I was dithering he dropped to $50. My hand shot up so fast. Another guy who was obviously a dealer buying stock for his second-hand business put in a $60 bid just to see if he could get it super cheap or if I'd fight him for it. I put in $70. The dealer didn't want a fight so he dropped out. The auctioneer called that my bid was the winner and I sorta squeaked to the entire auction room that I have No Idea what I'm going to do with it (my voice went up several octaves with the dawning realization of: I Didn't Mean To Do That). It was $81.50 with the 15% auction fees! Less than $100!

So now I've gotten it home and am deciding what I need to sacrifice from my gallery wall going up the stairs to make space because that's literally the only wall big enough to put it on, it can't go on the floor as the cats will wreck it.

And that's the story of how I didn't mean to buy a zebra.

[fategoflatass]

So, I've created some OCs for the fic I'm writing right now (I don't think I'll be finishing it anytime soon RIP).

The first one is Hazel Brierley.

Her name would mean something like "thorny hazel woods(?)" (IDK, I'm not very clever when it comes to names).

She's a 16-year-old student who aspires to be an author (she's obsessed with mystery novels).

Only daughter of two real estate agents.

Tall and slender (176cm), she's one of the beauties at her school (although some consider her personality to be pretentious and/or creepy).

She has a rather attractive aura, people often wonder what's going on inside her head (although she gives off "mysterious girl" vibes, Hazel's much of an airhead. This often leads to her being brutally honest since she doesn't give much thought to what she's about to say).

Hazel also gives off nerdy vibes to some, which confuses her and makes the people who know her laugh — she despises everything that has to do with school and, again, she's dumb as hell.

She only talks with people who catch her interest enough to get her out of the clouds (even if they haven't talked much, or at all. She's pretty good at reading people).

But since it's so rare for her to find someone like that, she's pretty quiet. There're some classmates who think she's mute, only for them to get scared shitless once they hear her talk.

She's a part-time model for Sadie, her girlfriend.

Big fan of long skirts, turtleneck sweaters and the autumn-esque color scheme (not like I tried hiding that).

Whenever she finds out someone that caught her interest is younger than her (even if it's for a couple of months), she'll begin acting like a big sister to them (often with no success).

Then we have Adelaine Goldstein.

Her name would mean something like "golden lady".

Mostly known as Addie, she's a 15-year-old student who will become an actress (a widely acclaimed one).

She's the youngest of two sisters. Her parents both work in the show business: her mother is an actress and her dad, her manager.

While she's not as tall as Hazel (163cm), she's considered one of the prettiest girl in the entire area (as she should).

She wakes up every day at 5 am to calmly do her skin care routine and makeup (even if it's the lighest makeup you'll ever see).

Although what takes her more time is deciding her outfit of the day (and ways to steal something from her sister's wardrobe without waking her up. And it's that she always has clothes that match her style. Wonder why...).

Speaking of which: she loves flower patterns and bright colors, especially orange.

You'll never catch her wearing high heels or skinny jeans. If she's not comfortable in it, doesn't matter if it's the best outfit idea ever, she won't wear it.

At first she may seem to be unaproachable and petty, but once you get to know her, you find out she's actually... vain, stubborn and spoiled as hell. She's pretty nice, though.

While people often think Hazel is the brains out of the three, that's actually Adelaine. For some reason, she's not often linked to cleverness.

She stole her favorite pair of hoop earrings from her big sister, althought she will never admit to it.

The last one is Sadie Petty.

Her name literally means "small lady".

And he is, indeed, small (153cm).

Oldest sister out of three siblings (a boy and a baby sister). Her parents are both bakers.

Is she also petty? Yes, she is. She's also a tsundere (main reason why she doesn't have many friends).

She's obsessed with sweets, fashion and eating sweets while thinking about fashion.

Speaking of, she aspires to be a fashion designer.

Her light red hair is dyed. She's actually a brunette.

Not the biggest fan of her short stature. You'll see her wearing platforms and maxi skirts more often than not.

Her love for cheesecake is so intense she often forgets she's lactose intolerant.

It's not like she's a jealous girlfriend, she just wishes Hazel would spend all the free time she has with her.

She's often confused with a little girl and her attitude doesn't help.

Believe it or not, she's quite needy. She loves cuddling (only with her girlfriend, that is) and, if you're close enough, she'll allow you to pat her head.

She loves doing people's hair.

Re: July 27th 98 - also totally happy to receive a general reading and not specific to my question/problem 😅 I’m very thankful for so much in my life in general, just feeling a bit lost.

July 27th - Ace of Clubs, age 24

I think a short year reading may be most helpful for you.

In the cardology system, there are 7 yearly cycles that occur. For each cycle, you have two cards that indicate what's happening during that time period. Each cycle is also ruled by a planet.

These are your cycles:

July 27 - September 17 Mercury Deals with communication, information, short trips, education, writing, speaking, mental processes & siblings. Things can happen suddenly or quickly under this influence. Communicate your wishes and set your boundaries for the year. This is the time to write it out! Put your ideas on motion. Write down & burn what's no longer needed. This is a fast-paced period, where things are short-lived.

September 18 - November 8 Venus Relationships, family, the home, money, possessions, social matters, craft, art, beauty, music, women. The next 52 days are alive with love and beauty. You want to relate to others & express feelings of love & pleasure. Venus softens what it touches. You may find that you are avoiding confrontations. Find comfort in your home; connect with your tribe, women in particular. Reconnect with yourself with an emphasis on outward appearance, socializing, romance/sex.

November 9 - December 30 Mars Work, energy, drive, aggression, taxes, legal matters concerning other people's money, conflict, passion & sexual & physical activities. This influence also signifies dealing with men in general. You should always try & focus the energy of Mars in a positive way. Mars governs primal instincts. You are ready for action! There is lots of energy. Your courage is building & you're accomplishing aims & objectives. Make a stand for your convictions. Your will to survive is high.

December 31 - February 21 Jupiter Expansion, business, legal matters overall, travel, blessings, things of a foreign nature, philosophy & religion. The cards that fall in this position, even if difficult, can greatly expand you in some way & be a blessing in your life. This is considered a very beneficial influence. These days are for you to expand. Reach beyond your present horizon & look at the bigger picture. Discover. Open yourself up to new ideas & ways of thinking. Your faith & wisdom will be tested.

February 22 - April 14 Saturn Discipline, restrictions, hard work, responsibility, authority, older persons, things long lasting & possibly health matters. Things done under Saturn's influence should be geared for the long term. A time of lessons and learning. That which you sow, you reap. You may second guess your plans. Definition, form & structure are needed now. Keep your feet firmly planted in the ground. Do not let fears distract you. What keeps you grounded?

April 15 - June 5 Uranus Deals with real estate, labour concerns, things unusual or unexpected, technology, computers, the Internet, freedom, friends & breaking up old structures to rebuild them better. Uranus also governs Astrology & things exciting or sometimes unsure. Sit quietly & reflect on your year so far. Leave space for the unexpected to occur. Open your intuition. This is the time to let go of what you don't want to take into the next year with you. Also the time to goal plan & manifest for your next year. A lot of people tend to do that around the New Year, or right before their birthday, but actually the most beneficial time is during your Uranus period.

June 6 - July 26 Neptune Dreams, long distance travel, illusion, fantasy, escape, psychic experiences, spiritual matters, drugs, alcohol, the hospital, things that are hidden & dealings with or around the water. This can be a very dreamy, romantic period; however, if you have any important dealings or matters during this period, it may be better to wait until it is over. You may not be seeing things clearly under this influence. This is the planet of fantasies & illusions. You may feel like you're in a fog, not seeing clearly. This is a great time to rest up before the next year. It's also why goals are best made in Uranus - you're clear about what you want, now you can rest & gather some energy before you work towards those things.

So you've been in your Mars period for almost two months now, with the 3 of Hearts & the Ace of Hearts influencing you. It makes sense you've been feeling indecisive & frustrated. Getting physically active will help you burn off some of this stimulating energy.

Things will calm down once you enter your Jupiter period. The most influential card during this time for you is the Queen of Spades. She represents spiritual self-mastery; the idea that the external is a reflection of the internal. You asked if there's something wrong with the external factors in your life - I would say no. It's your perception & the meaning you've made out of things that has created your circumstances.

Becky Nova's Journey to Real Estate Success

Hey Tumblr fam! 🌟

Today, I’m super excited to share an amazing story with you—a story of resilience, determination, and living life on your own terms. This is the story of Becky Nova, a real estate investor who went from losing everything to living her dream life on the beaches of the Dominican Republic. 🏝️

From Cancer Research to Real Estate: Meet Becky Nova

Becky’s journey didn’t start with real estate. She spent over 15 years working in cancer research, but after becoming disillusioned with the industry, she knew she needed a change. So, what did she do? She moved to Europe and started a tour company in Spain, expanded into Portugal, and even bought a restaurant.

But life threw her a major curveball. After a bad business decision, Becky lost over $100,000 and had to return to the U.S. with nothing but a few pennies to her name. 😱

The Real Estate Game Changer

Back in the States, Becky met her now-husband, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic. While Becky was recovering from her financial losses, her husband was saving every penny with the dream of owning a home in the U.S. It was his idea to buy real estate, but Becky had a twist—she suggested buying a multifamily property, living in one unit, and renting out the other. Little did they know, this strategy, known as “house hacking,” would set the stage for their real estate empire.

In 2018, they bought their first duplex in New York, and from that moment on, Becky was hooked. She dove headfirst into the world of real estate, learning everything she could. And within a year, she had purchased another property—a four-family home with a parking lot, a rare gem in New York!

Living the Dream: From New York to the Dominican Republic

Fast forward to today, Becky’s real estate portfolio includes multiple properties in New York and the Dominican Republic. She has long-term and midterm rentals, generating passive income that allows her to live life on her own terms.

One of Becky’s biggest achievements? Buying her dream home in the Dominican Republic. Now, she spends several months each year enjoying the beach life. And guess what? She’s not stopping there! Becky is planning to expand her portfolio even further, with plans to buy another short-term rental property in Europe later this year. 🌍

The Power of Community and Goal Setting

One of the biggest takeaways from Becky’s journey is the importance of community and setting clear goals. Surrounding yourself with people who support your dreams and staying focused on your goals can make all the difference. Becky’s story is proof that no matter where you start, with the right mindset and determination, you can achieve the life you’ve always wanted.

Lightning Round Fun with Becky Nova

Before we wrapped up our chat, I hit Becky with some quickfire questions:

Favorite Vacation Spot: Any beach! 🏖️

Bucket List Destination: Russia—for its unique history and architecture.

Best Advice Ever Received: Just do it! Take action and don’t look back.

Becky’s journey is incredibly inspiring, and it’s a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to start chasing your dreams. Whether you’re interested in real estate or just looking for a way to live life on your own terms, Becky’s story is a blueprint for success.

Thank you, Becky, for sharing your story with us! If you want to keep up with her journey, follow her on Facebook at Lady Landlords or on Instagram at @TheBeckyNova.

That’s all for today, Tumblr fam! Remember, life is what you make of it, so keep dreaming big and taking action. Until next time! ✌️

Why Should You Consider Buying Property Through Their SMSF? 

The golden rule is that purchasing real estate through an SMSF should only be done with your retirement in mind. 

A large number of SMSF members purchase real estate with their funds. But should you be? It has many benefits depending on your planning, and Everything depends on your goals. For instance, they believe it could be a smart idea to invest in residential real estate that can increase in value or provide rental income. If you are looking forward to accessing SMSF service in Bella Vista, you can get in touch with Provida Finance. 

Rent-related concessional tax: 

In cases where you own an investment property in your name, you will generally be required to pay tax at your rate, which may reach 46.5%. The tax rate is also thirty percent if you own an investment property through a company. 

Your SMSF can only keep 15% of the rent you receive because of the concessional tax rate applied to superannuation investment earnings. Furthermore, since the fund can typically deduct some costs associated with owning the property, like land charges and upkeep, the effective tax rate could decrease even further. So, when getting SMSF service in Bella Vista, ensure that you have rent-related concessional tax. 

Concessional tax on future capital gains  

Capital gains in superannuation are subject to concessional tax rates. If the property is owned for at least 12 months, the fund will pay up to 10% CGT on growth if you sell it during the accumulation phase. But any capital gain on a sale of the property when it's moved into your SMSF's pension phase will be fully tax-free. This provides considerable tax advantages for retirement planning. 

Higher opportunities for superannuation 

There are more superannuation prospects if you own a property through your SMSF. If your business is operated out of your SMSF property, you are required to pay the fund commercial rent. This rent increases your superannuation funds. 

Your company is eligible to deduct its rent payments from its taxes. Most notably, it is not considered a superannuation payment. It does not count toward the contribution caps, currently set at $25,000 annually for individuals under 59 and $35,000 for those above that age. 

Thus, you can contribute tax-deductible rent to your SMSF without exceeding these cap amounts. As a result, you can increase your retirement benefits more quickly and tax-efficiently. This approach offers tax benefits to your business and increases your superannuation savings. 

Extra Advantages: 

Additionally, there can be advantages to owning property inside your SMSF based on your unique situation. 

Generally, in cases of bankruptcy, superannuation assets are shielded from creditors. Owning property within your SMSF may, therefore, give you some extra protection in the unfortunate event that you encounter difficult circumstances. 

Additionally, if you are a small business owner, your eligibility for the substantial small business CGT concessions that come into play when you sell your company or retire is based on something other than your superannuation assets. Making arrangements in advance can improve your eligibility for these incentives. 

Bottom Line: 

Our goal at Provida Finance is to make your financial journey easy and stress-free by offering SMSF in Bella Vista. You don't need to worry because our team will handle every step. We adopt an active approach to help you easily meet your financial objectives. Place your trust in us to manage your money needs and guide you toward success.

A Man in Full: A Melodrama without a Punch

An incredible ensemble can sometimes only do so much to carry a show. A Man in Full suffers from this very issue. It has a few notable names sprinkled into a sprawling narrative that should have been the perfect recipe for success.

Led by names such as Jeff Daniels, Diane Lane, and Lucy Liu, A Man in Full tries desperately to capture the eccentric side of business. It also adds in a few social justice issues and hot-button politics to no avail. While I did like the actors enough to watch all the way through the show, it has a few bright moments followed by very many head scratching moments.

Daniels stars as real estate mogul Charlie Croker who is in debt with several banks to the tune of a billion dollars. Charlie will do absolutely anything to hold onto his fortune. That sounds like a marketable premise and an easy to sell plot.

What the show ends up giving us is over the top dialogue about dying alone. This show features about 10 prominent characters, and 8 of them are despicable human beings who have zero character devolopment through out. Croker is for lack of a better term an asshole who tries to masquerade as a better man than he is. Yet every action he takes shows absolutely no reason to want him to succeed or see him fail. There is no reason to care about what happens to Charlie because his fate is revealed in the firest 10 seconds of the series. Sorry if that seems like a spoiler but it absolutely is not. The show does not hide what is about to unfold.

The journey of the show was supposed to be Charlie and his descent into chaos and destruction. He was always like this, though, and the show has no backbone because this is just a douchey character doing douchey things.

The final 15 minutes of the final episode is absolute insanity and was just laughable in terms of how it played it. The idea was that people get what is coming to them, but yet that was not even what we ended up getting. This show lacked a direction. Most of the storylines, aside from one, had zero resolution. This was just a series where bad people did "shocking" things, yet none of them felt shocking at all.

This was a series leading into viewing that I had very high hopes for. Daniels has proven to be compelling in the past. He is good here, but the writing inevitably fails his talents. It is a shame because there were elements to this story that could have made for amazing viewing. Yet this show chose the route it did, and here I stand, having watched all 6 episodes and felt very little. That is a shame.

Visit to Yorkshire Sculpture Park

On the 16th of April 2024 I visited Yorkshire Sculpture Park to explore the art within the tranquil setting in West Yorkshire. The visit provided a chance for me to experience art in an outdoor setting, and also an indoor setting. There were lots to take away from my visit to the sculpture park. The park itself is set on a vast five hundred acres of fields, hills, woodland, lakes and formal gardens. The area that the sculpture park covers was incredible, though when I first arrived it felt quite an overwhelming space to be explore in the few hours that I visited for.

Prior to my visit to Yorkshire Sculpture Park, I was aware of an Austrian artist called Erwin Wurm with an exhibition at Yorkshire Sculpture Park called Trap of the truth running through until the end of April. The indoor museum at the park felt spacious and this was down to the design of the museum itself with soaring ceilings and large windows. The whole aim of the sculpture park is to present and investigate sculpture, and Erwin Wurm’s works do just that. The way that Wurm’s art practice is about what sculpture can be. That anything can be a sculpture. This intrigued me the most and goes back to my previous posts on this blog on how that the artist has complete freedom in this case to say what a sculpture is.

The standout works inside the indoor space of this exhibition were Wurm’s one-minute sculptures. The work Just about Virtues and Vices in General (2017) was a great one-minute sculpture to interact with on my visit. (See Fig 14). This is down to the fact that he wants the public to engage with his work for say a minute with an everyday object. The whole idea of the one-minute sculptures is to be able to create a short living sculpture. The interactivity with this exhibition to essentially become part of the art was amazing, whilst even just being able to create something in the moment for me was an impressive experience.

An intriguing aspect to the indoor sculptures by Wurm was the sense of if they were actually a real object or not. (See Fig. 15) the idea that the car is there but is it really a car? That was exactly what Wurm wanted the audience to question, and to give the idea of cornering at speed. It is almost like an illusion that you see something a way that your mind wants you to see it, and this could be said for the idea of a fast-moving vehicle. The fact the object is still but the impression that it is cornering really did interest me on the physics involved with the creation of the sculpture.

The outdoor sculptures of Wurm’s were also fascinating in the way that they are part of Wurm’s vision for what a sculpture should be. There is a psychological aspect to the works that makes you think of being in this imaginary world. It reminds me of something like being at Disneyland, and how that is one big illusion. One example of a large-scale outdoor sculpture by Wurm is Big Mutter which shows Wurm’s take on an item of comfort. This also shows that the artist is able to add a comical element to a lot of his works.

The vibrant 13ft tall bronze painted water bottle (See Fig. 17.) certainly does grab attention standing out in a natural setting against the backdrop of a Yorkshire estate.

Figure 17. Photograph by me of Erwin Wurm’s Big Mutter (2015) 13-foot-tall painted bronze sculpture.

Figure 18. Photograph by me of Erwin Wurm’s “Big Disobedience” (2016).

Erwin Wurm has kept with a vibrant colour for the work “Big Disobedience.” (See Fig 18.) The way that Wurm has taken business suits and brought them to life in his own interpretation really does take the idea of a dull boring suit and make it into a fun object with the use of a lively pink. I enjoyed Wurm’s use of bright colours throughout the whole exhibition.

The standout ideas Wurm brought to Yorkshire Sculpture Park were a playful factor to his works. The fact that he has used everyday objects and turned them into quirky sculptures really does highlight the talents of the Austrian Sculptor. Wurm has been sculpting for years and this can be seen throughout the show. The most interesting factor to the outside sculptures is each one is given a character and its own attitude. This adds a sense of uniqueness to the works of Wurm and how that the works are there to be questioned.
