The interior picture makes me think the interior smells like a lifetime of cheap gas station pine tree air fresheners.

Thanks for the “Stop the bleed” course info. That seems like something everyone should take. It’s on my project list to investigate now.

Our fake tree is up for the 23rd christmas. With allergies, there is no way I survive another christmas with a live tree.

Either way... “bye Felisha”...

“Termination process” does not mean fired. At my company, anyone that leaves (resignation or fired) goes through the “termination process” to remove whatever access they have, and return whatever assets they have.

So we have to start having more kids so that those kids can earn incomes in 20-25 years. Hmm... if only there were a way to had a lot of new citizens of working age already.... if only there were some sort of ... (I’ll make up a new word since this doesn’t exist already) “immigrant”... Someone that moves to the US to

At least the Mario statement seems to be an actual apology. He admits he did it, actually said “sorry”, no victim recrimination. It’s such a low bar to cross.... and it is so sad that most men trip over the bar and fall on their face.

Really, start with VTSAX (or VTI, which once you hit the VTSAX minimum you can convert with one click). It tracks ALL stocks at once. So you are basically taking a slice of the entire US stock market all at once. Large/Mid/Small cap, everything. Many companies are global as well, so you get international exposure as

Oh, and if (may the gods forbid) the tax reform packages pass, the huge new standard deduction will, I think, cause a lot of people to reassess the mortgage deduction this way.

Depending on how your kids are spaced out, you can expect a much better FAFSA if more than one is in college at the same time as well.

Agree on the mortgage interest. Yes you can deduct it, but if you don’t deduct it, the government gives you deductions already. So you are losing the standard deduction to take the mortgage deduction. That seems like a net loss to me. I’ve read articles advocating for enormous mortgages because of the deductibility,

Check out JL Collins’ “Simple Path To Wealth”. He makes a very compelling case to just use 100% broad based index fund such as VTSAX, during your wealth accumulation phase.

I learned that joke as “... she tells her mother goodbye, and hangs up the phone”

Or saying it while texting, or browsing facebook...

Since I’m married, I do care most about family coverage. Yes, it’s clear they are focusing on just the employee, and trying to keep families off. UPS and others were pushing to get rid of spousal insurance. Luckily, I can go through my spouse’s insurance and not get stuck with my coverage.
