Drew, you know that a constitutional is a walk, right?

You do have a reason: Freedom. And that’s obviously legit. Most folks, like you, need a reason, a motive. 

I think it’s almost impossible to “just save” without motivation. Better advice is to make a plan. Without a reason to save, sticking to a savings plan is very tough for most folks.

A good question for children is the same as a good question for adults. Something like, “What are you expected about these days?” is a great ice breaker. 

If you’re a renter, you pay property tax. You don’t get a bill from the county tax assessor, but part of your rent pays your landlord’s property tax bill.

Alicia, my response was to the other commenter. I have no beef with your post.

In my last house I had a Bosch dishwasher. It was quiet as can be, and didn’t even HAVE a dry cycle.

Many, many baby items including toys are dishwasher safe. One problem is that some things are so small they fall through the racks.

The type of lube you use is obviously a totally personal choice, and you should for sure use the brand or formula type that best fits your needs.

If your employer offers a very bad 401(k) plan talk to them about getting a better plan. They bought what the brokerage firm sold to them. Research better plans and suggest that your employer change. Many firms will take your referral to make a sales call on your employer.

I agree with your point I was born when my dad was 50; he was born in 1906. Imagine being raised by Shakers to envision how he thought I should dress and wear my hair. But in our house, “Because I SAID so,” rarely even had to be articulated; it was simply understood.
