Hi r/personalfinance,
I realized today that I did not report pecuniary gains and losses from a “round-up and invest” app for 2018 and 2019.
Specifically, in 2018, I had a short term capital loss of 78 dollars.
In 2019, I had a short term capital gain of $1.94.
Should I be worried about not having reported these two? They were on 1099-Bs that i just discovered in a disorganized email inbox.

Hello everyone:
I had some questions regarding funding regarding funding strategies using the pecuniary marital deduction formula for the experienced estate planners here. I'm hoping someone can provide some clarity.
When using a Pecuniary Formula in which the Marital share is funded first, why is it that the bulk of the estate with appreciating assets are moved out of the marital share and into the bypass trust?And why does the opposite happen when the bypass trust is funded first?
I'm new to the practice area and trying to make sense of why textbooks say this. Below is the exact language from Lexis Nexis practice guide regarding pecuniary marital deduction formula's that I'm trying to make sense of:
(Marital share being funded first)
(bypass share being funded first)
thanks for any help and insight you can shed!
I had a question come up where the suit was filed in order to stop a neighbor from creating loud noises and disturbing the peace. The plaintiff did not ask for compensation for any past damages however, the defendant argued that the suit talks about issues valued at an amount that would make it outside of that court's jurisdiction. So my question is, does pecuniary jurisdiction matter in such a case?
FYI I'm a law student from Ethiopia (Civil Law Legal System) but I assumed questions such as these would have similar answers no matter the country.

This comment led me to (read and search and) just learn ...
from PIE (Proto-Indo-European) root PEKU- (wealth, cattle) came Fee, Fellow, Pecuniary, Peculiar.
https://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2017/06/06/8-words-where-the-cows-literally-come-home/
> Fellow comes from the Old English féolaga, recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles for ‘someone who shares with another in a possession or in the performance of any work’. The term comes [from?] a fellow tongue, Old Norse, félage, which the Oxford English Dictionary explains as a ‘laying together of money’, thus ‘business partnership’. The fé- is related to our word fee – again, with the ancient meaning of ‘cow’ – and –lage, lay.

> Peculiar is a peculiar word. Today, we mainly use it two ways: as an adjective for ‘strange’ or ‘odd’ and in the phrase peculiar to, ‘belonging exclusively to’. What do these two ideas have to do with each other and how do they concern cows?
> English took peculiar directly from Latin’s pecūliāris, ‘one’s own, private, personal’, but literally ‘related to one’s pecūlium’. Pecūlium was ‘private property’, chief of which was once cattle, called pecū in Latin. When English borrowed the word in the late 15th century, peculiar’s evolution was already underway, meaning ‘distinctive’ or ‘unique’, from which the modern peculiar issued by the 1600s. Pecuniary, impecunious, and the rare peculate (‘to embezzle’) also derive from pecū.
--------- it's a bit like saying : [ John is a unique person. ] could be euphemism for [ a strange guy ].

I came across the second word while studying, and looked up the definition in the dictionary. It seems exactly like the definition of Monetary, so what's the difference?
Spotted an advert for writing interns at a food and wine company.
Interns would work remotely, submitting articles of at least 600 words twice a week. Extensive research is required, and writers have to make significant edits in accordance with the manager's suggestions. The internship would last six weeks, and following the submission of twelve articles, the company would send you a case of wine.
The value of the case is not specified, but they are sold on the website for £53-£120.
Therefore, it is highly unlikely for an intern to be 'paid' the minimum wage. But my questions are as follows:
- Can one be 'paid' only by wine?
- If not, and I sued the employer for non-payment of wages, would the actual or retail value of the wine be deducted from my damages?
- If I was hired as an intern, and asked to be paid in money, would it be lawful to rescind the offer?

Someone used 'pecuniary' on Meet the Press this morning.
The link between livestock and money happened as it went from PIE to Latin, but the same think happened as it went through Germanic to 'fee'. 'fief' and 'feudalism' are related words.
