Kilborn Daily Show was the best Daily Show.

Praise Beebo.

It’s not an optical illusion and the linked article doesn’t say it is. It’s closer so it appears larger.

Counterpoint: it's fine.  Googling also isn't a verb according to Google.  It's a phrase that gets a point across pretty succinctly.  You could just say declutter for most uses, but it's a specific method of decluttering.

Don't forget to subtract the cost of commuting.  If you're doing 45 minutes let's say you're at 20 miles.  That twice a day times 240 days is almost $6k at federal mileage rates.  Subtract that from your $50k in addition to taxes.  Really you're probably around $35k take home after taxes and commuting over 2375…

You could retire four hours earlier if you saved that money instead of spent it (really earlier with compound interest etc but it's a start). You don’t have to spend every dollar you take in.

I don’t know, but I remember doing it 20+ years ago as a kid and I doubt we were beating the NBA in strategy.

What grocery store doesn't let you buy individual bananas??  I just rip off however many I need from a bunch, never had a problem.  Sam's Club is the only place I shop where I can't do that but I just buy them elsewhere.

He’s in the West now so that doesn’t apply anymore.

I’m sure this is true for you, but I’m also sure your taste buds don’t work right.  I’ve heard a lot of people say a lot of foods don’t taste like anything, but I’ve yet to eat something that had no taste.

Yeah, I don't get this fad at all.

Financial Independence subreddit if you're looking for detailed information.

No. It vests based on length of time you’re working there. If it’s unvested when you quit, you can’t get around it by not rolling it over.

Nah.  She covers that, but the article is short and to the point and covers other important information as well.  International and bond funds are something to look into besides total US.

The plastic tips at the ends of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister!

Agreed. I liked the combat and controls a lot, but the lack of map, repetitive backtracking, etc. felt like a game from 20 years ago. It didn’t add challenge or fun, it just wasted time.

The S&P 500 has returned 10.25% from January 1919 to January 2019. Inflation adjusted it’s only 7.3%. The caveat of past performance doesn’t predict future results applies, of course.  I wouldn’t call 7% modest, but inflation adjusted it’s normal for the last 100 years.  The above didn’t say anything about adjusting…

Invest now.

I used to work closing shift at McDonald's and would eat some of the stuck fries from who knows how many hours before when we broke it down to detail clean it.  Different taste but still good.

2% processing fee isn’t bad. The alternative is loss due to cashier error or theft, extra security, armored trucks, paying someone to deliver change to the 100 different cashiers all around the ballpark, etc.
