Plant an apple tree literally ASAP. Or two, or three, or however many you can swing. Young trees are cheap, mature trees increase your property’s value, and the only difference is how much time has passed between planting and selling. So.... go plant. In fact do as much landscaping as you can as early as you can. You…

It’s also made more dangerous by our (lack of) gun laws. In most Western countries police officers don’t walk into every interaction assuming that the other party might be armed with a firearm.

The social meme circulating is appropriate here:

I usually ask them “What in the world would I want kids for?” That usually stops them. Then I point out all things my wife and I have been able to do such as extensive travel, nice cars and home, early retirement, etc. because we are DINKs and enjoying it. (Double Income No Kids).
