But you didn’t specify an audience that this advice was meant for.

Did you read the article? Or were you just looking for a place to vent?

I agree, and that’s why I put the caveat in at the beginning about discipline, and the closing remark about auto-pay.

I know it can be a challenge for some people, but if you can muster up any kind of discipline, I really don’t recommend that anyone use debit cards to make purchases.

There are worse problems to have than needing to prioritize clothing options when seeing the world!

I mean, yes I can buy a pair of neutral colored shoes but those Adidas hikers still scream “I don’t know how to wear adult shoes” because of the weird textures, and the Nikes are just skater shoes and look like them.

I think the outerwear is tougher as a woman. It’s easier for me to have a warm coat that looks good, mostly because, as a guy, I can get away with bulkier clothing without it looking instantly un-dressy.

My biggest issue is when we wander off the beaten path and end up on some walking trails, or where infrastructure isn’t the best, when I need some structure and grip. It doesn’t quite require hiking boots, but would be dangerous in any kind of dress shoes.

I think we’ve gotten rid of just about all our extras during our year abroad living out of backpacks. But the one thing I still don’t have, and need to find, is some kind of shoes that look appropriate enough to wear to dinner and yet are sturdy enough and comfortable enough to wear out all day walking around the city…

Excuse me, but it’s well past time to have 4-5 USB-C ports on a charging hub.

That tip sounds fishy to me anyway. No matter what, everything is going to head towards equilibrium. That means the dry towel will get more wet, yes, but only up to a point - at some point it will be roughly as wet as everything else in the dryer. The other clothes aren’t going to be bone dry while the towel is…

Aside from the almost silly subjectiveness of “attractive people,” I’d have to wonder if this actually says anything about attractive people, or just about people in general.

I like booking directly with companies when I can. That said, there are some scenarios where third party sites are useful:

This post seems to summarize what is, in my opinion, the least interesting part of the study.

Part 2 is etiquette for keeping a prostitute on a monthly retainer.

No doubt about it. But that’s subjective, so a study like this should at least present some real information so everyone can make up their minds about what’s worthwhile.

I mean, the delta between cost of living and salary is arguably the only thing that matters. If there’s a fixed cost attached to a certain area, that money may as well be deducted from your salary like taxes are - you’ll never see it and it won’t come home with you.

Fine, but the cause is not what I’m questioning.

Am I nuts or does there seem to be no cost of living factored into this?

I got all excited, only to find out my most-frequently used Bluetooth headphones don’t seem to support it.
