Laser printers are more economical in the short and long term. Sure, the initial price of an inkjet may appear to be cheaper than a laser, but that is only because they typically come with 1/4 filled cartridges. When comparing a laser (which usually comes with a full toner cartridge) to an inkjet, you should compare a…

I see that I've hurt your feelings and I apologize for this.

You could read the post again. I recommended no emergency fund until debt is somewhat under control.

I think you are taking the internet too seriously.

Having your rotors turned is the exact same thing as having them machined. I know what special equipment it requires as I have done so in an auto shop class in HS.

Having your wheels balanced costs very little. The place where I bought my tires will rotate and balance my tires at no cost. Having your rotors turned is also an inexpensive expense. My local shop will turn a rotor for $20. A broken AC isn't an emergency, just an inconvenience. You created a $3k problem out of…

I have similar advice: "Do you makes you happy and trick someone into paying you to do it"

I like to let the person asking say "no" to themselves. I explain why it is a bad idea, how much it will cost, or how much time it will take.

I'm a people pleaser and I say "no" a lot. It's the only way to please people like you.

Losing your character in DayZ isn't depressing. It's a common experience which happens about 49% (assuming you have a 50% chance of spotting the other guy first) of the time when you encounter another player. Going from nothing but two can openers and no beans to fully equipped takes little effort, so feel free to…

While you are at it, make sure to have them scroll through a lengthy TOS and EULA whenever they open the internet browser.

I understand the issue. In this scenario, I suggest that you go back into debt to avoid losing your house and car or freezing to death due to your furnace failing.

Yes, I expect a natural birth would have ended tragically.

The thing with emergency funds is that you are saving money for an event which may not actually happen.

I need to know what is in the back closet.

I think the post was meant to prompt readers to ponder how things would have gone, had the birth been a natural birth.
