Hi there, 

Do you have a ballpark estimation on when you'll have updates for me? 

To recap-

You need your bank statements going back to at least 2022 I believe, for the purpose of supporting a mutually agreed ledger balance regarding rent, auto insurance, and your loan to me.

*Please update me when you have submitted the request for those documents*

I originally promised to repay your loan with interest, so I need to calculate how much that totals out to and account for it in the document. I know you said you don't care, but I do care because it's important to me that I keep that promise. We knew it would take a long time to repay,  but I floated the idea of transferring you what's left of my Robinhood portfolio against that balance like, years ago and it just kind of stayed in limbo while we waited for you to make a decision. So that's still my preference for settling that debt, but we'll have to agree on the cash value of that (tiny) portfolio and I believe you said you want your father's advice to help you decide on what that stock is worth.

*Please update me when you have asked your father for his opinion or if you have made your own decision*

*Please update me when you have figured out your login for your Fidelity NetBenefits account and have found your account numbers*

(Don't forget about your Voya account from Best Buy btw, you have options to explore with what to do with that.)

Please let me know when you'll have five or ten minutes for a quick connect so I can follow up on the things I forgot about last time!

Uhh I don't remember anything else right now, let me know what I'm missing or anything else I need to handle on my end while you're taking care of the aforementioned items. 

I hope you have a great great great end of the month.

Cheers!
🙇‍♂️

Hi 

I can probably get an update by Tuesday. I’m spending thanksgiving with my dad in WA so I can get you an update then. 

Does your plant happen to be a crown of thorns?

jonathan breaux
It is, good catch :') do they have some particular significance to you?

Okay, Tuesday sounds great. I'll keep an eye out for your email 🎶

Enjoy the holiday with your dad! I would ask to send my love to the family but I doubt the sentiment would land as intended so I'm just sending good vibes your way for a safe and enjoyable journey. 🙏

No I just recognized it because I have the same one. Do you know what kind yours is? My grandma bought it for me in Mexico so I could only cross the border with it without dirt. I repotted it the second I got home but it’s been like two weeks and it’s losing it’s flowers. I had it inside for a couple of days and I know it was unhappy without direct sunlight but now that it’s outside it’s still dying. 
How often do you water yours? 

Nov 2320:51+16:40
jonathan breaux
Ooo, mine did really bad for a while after I repotted her but I try not to water until the first inch or two of soil is decently dry, and I have a lot of pearlite at the bottom to improve the drainage of the deep soil. 

Sending good vibes your way for her too!

Okay well that gives me hope. Thanks! Have a great week!

Nice. To all photos. Loaf is loafing. Looks a little extra proofed. Looks like it did lots of rising in the oven.

jonathan breaux
Damn okay look at those words, she does the other kind of baking now too, I see her 👸

It's an excellent loaf; I'm just the Stage, all that magic came from the kitchen.

Thank you, I'll let him know his magnificence continues to be appreciated ✨

I talked to my dad and I’ll keep talking with him throughout the week. He’s not trilled about 26k and he doesn’t think the truck is worth that but I’ll show him some google estimates and stuff while I’m here. 

I’m getting the feeling I might have to do this one alone for a bit but I’ll keep you posted. 

That’s the update. I’ll let you know about next steps once I get back.

Hey, thanks for the update! 

Go enjoy your holiday, you can read the rest of this message when you get back if you like, it doesn't require an immediate response. It's just more context than what's already covered in the document because I am, quite honestly, just avoiding doing actual work and had fun focusing on this for a minute (I think it's been over an hour)

Cheers~

(The rest of the message:)

But he's right, it's worth more. 

I know you don't need all this that follows, I think I know that you know I'm not trying to take advantage of you or mislead you or punish you etc. To be completely honest I'm just writing this because I'm bored at work because everyone else is already in vacation mode and I'm feeling chatty and if business chat is all that's available then business chat is gonna get the yap.

Remember I'm taking a loss on it at this price, and I'm taking an enormous loss on it if it's just returned to me because of the depreciation and mileage added to it under your care during the time between when I intended to sell it and the present day. So if he would rather you just pay for the time that the truck was your primary vehicle and return the truck to me, I'm happy to do that as long as it's his money and not yours. Because I've used the truck strictly for myself almost not at all, and:

I have already paid over $29,000 on this truck just toward loan principal and interest. 

So, yeah that would be pretty awesome.

But in all seriousness, what matters is that you don't come out upside down on it, and you're not going to. Remember that you only need to finance the 12k (less because I have another payment due before this deal will finalize) through the bank, and I'm willing to work out a separate, deferred if necessary (but legally binding) payment plan for the amount over that so that you can pay my part without interest, though I've had no such offers from which to benefit.

And from am analysis of all the listings I could find for 2018 Toyota Tundra SR5 CrewMax Sport at ~125k miles (with an expected minimum end of life mileage of 300k miles though if taken care of it will last much longer): 

Private party sale price for your truck in excellent condition in ZIP 78130 is $30,000–$35,000.
A conservative fair market value is ~$32,000


I'm down to wrastle 🤠


But like I said, I know you're not trying to take advantage, and I'm pretty sure you know that I'm trying to help you out as much as possible while still seeking an absolute minimum for what is fair to me.

This wasn't a defensive email I'm just chatty cause everyone else is already in vacation mode and writing this was the only option for enrichment to be found in my enclosure this morning 🎶

Anyway if you did read this for some reason then 🎉 🎉 🎉 
congrats! You have finished reading. 
Almost.
One more thing!

Cheers~

Yeah I know. He’s just going to take some convincing. I know he hopes it just goes away and I stop asking but I won’t. 

He said he has to ask Daphne cause she wasnt going to want to give up that kind of money that easily. 

I’ll just start the payments on my own and then bitch and bitch until he gives me the money. 

It’s frustrating cause I think I’m realizing he doesn’t have money like he brags he does and but also they both drive fancy ass bmws and he has like 100k worth in guns.

jonathan breaux
:/ that sounds really frustrating to experience. I hope it resolves well for you in the end.

When would be a good time to connect to work out a structured plan that doesn't create an unreasonable burden for you while that whole process is going on?

Nov 3013:04+5:06
jonathan breaux
Do you have any time today? We don't have to do a call, as long as you can dedicate some specific time frame to responding to emails promptly.

Nov 3016:10+0:01
Marysue Curtis
Hey sorry I can’t today I’m flying back but I should be free tomorrow 

Nov 3018:12+21:10
jonathan breaux
No need for apologies, but thank you for the update. 

Do you need help collecting the girls?

Safe travels

Marysue Curtis
I’m all good but thanks for the offer. 

Okay the first order of business for me would be for me to….?  

Dec 116:38+1:03
jonathan breaux
??? First order of business pertaining to what objective? I'm pretty sure we lined up several for you in our last meeting. 

I'm about to drive back to the apartment and take Kuma out and I'll be able to pay attention to emails readily after that.

Marysue Curtis
Getting the truck purchase payments going. I actually won’t be super available today after all but I will try to reply as promptly as I can! 

Dec 118:12+0:06
jonathan breaux
No need to worry about emails tonight, go do your thing 🎶

It's less stressful for me mentally to have a dedicated time to rely on when working on a specific project so let's push until you're more available.

If I think of anything important off the cuff though I'll be sure to let you know right away! 

Cheers

Okay works for me! When are you available tomorrow? 

Dec 118:26+0:23
jonathan breaux
Mmm pretty much any time after 6 unless you're trying to collaborate during the workday in which case I don't mind asymmetrical communication so much. I'm only really busy tomorrow 8-11, 1-2, and whenever I commute which is usually like 4:30-6.

Dec 118:49+0:51
Marysue Curtis
I’m fine with talking through the workday but after 6pm should work for me too! Let’s shoot for that
