oh yah. We’ve already done that for a few years. You can also put money into a limited FSA for dental/vision on top of the HSA max. I always spend at least $1k on dental after insurance(crowns, etc)-so it’s a no brainer.

foreal. I think it would have been great if she did the walk alone. She literally has 1 family member attending(her mom). I’d be walking alone-all eyes(3Billion) on me.

My wife and I just changed our 401k’s to the max 18.5k each back in January. It really didn’t reduce our take home as much as I thought it would, and then a few weeks later we got our standard 3% raise and then the tax cuts came in...and we are basically back to where we were last year. I only wish I had done this 5…

maybe if you are platinum or diamond, for the rest of us I think its like $150

What about being able to cancel a southwest flight up to 10 minutes before departure and get ALL of your points back without fees?

Get Precheck-it eliminates most of those problems.

exactly. I used to love watching Bourdain, but now the best word for it would be smug. It’s funny, because as much as he hates hipsters, bourdain does all of the hipster stuff wherever he goes. Everything is about “authentic travel” and doing what the locals do. That might work for a guy with a camera and a tv show,…

that’s why I said true first. Since people get so confused about this stuff I figured it wouldn’t hurt to add.

true, but not with the public service loan forgiveness. That is tax free.

How the hell did I miss that glaring chart right there? Thanks for the correction. Re: your comment below with family sizes. Absolutely correct. In fact, even if you are pregnant it counts as a child. The form to re-calculate only takes 5-10 mins to fill out.

Actually there are 2 different kinds of IBR. The old one, which covers people who took out their first loans before 2008-charges you 15% of discretionary income. The new one charges you 10%, but the catch is that your first federal loan must have been taken out in 2008 or later, as well as taken out a loan in 2012. So…

I wish it was like Europe, where the waiter or bartender brings the CC machine right to you and everything is transparent.

Yeah I’m considering the low dose aspirin even though my doc didn’t tell me too. My numbers are shit.

100%. My cardiologist said it’s way too early to consider that(I’m 31), but my numbers make me extremely nervous(as well as family history). Even offered to pay for it out of pocket. Even just a low dose CT cardiac scan at the hospital isn’t allowed until i’m 35.

agreed. totally missed the mark. Small LDL particle number, LDL particle number are what matters. I’m 31, and 3 years ago my PCP said my cholesterol was high-so naturally I found a great Cardiologist who happened to be the president of the American Lipid association in the past. He ran advanced profiles and we got the…

31 year old male, married. Live in downtown Chicago. Credit score >820. 2004 Mazda. 2 wrecks(1 my fault, 1 other person fault) in last 4 years. $254/6 months for liability(250/100/10). Was only going to be another $60/yr for comp as well, but the car is paid off and worth probably $2k at most so no need. I also got a…

Exactly. It’s like with cholesterol. Everything nowadays say “cholesterol in food does not affect your cholesterol levels, FOR MOST PEOPLE”. That turns out to be about 25% of the population. 25% OF THE POPULATION IS A SHIT TON OF PEOPLE.

I’ve always wondered about genetics as well when I keep hearing nonstop about a Mediterranean diet rich in Olive oil. My ancestors were scottish, irish and english. I’m pale as hell, I look at food and gain weight. My wife is italian. She tans in a day and stays tan. Her weight is much more stable. It always bugs me…

How can I keep my puppy from chewing through our power cord. Due to lack of outlets, it has to be along the floor in the living room, but i’m worried he will bite through and electrocute the shit out of himself.

Mcdonalds is way to fucking hot-takes like an hour to cool down enough to drink it.
