The New York Time story is out: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/09/arts/television/louis-ck-sexual-misconduct.html?_r=0

John Oliver talked a lot about this. The customer is the creditors, WE are the product that Equifax sells.

This has been one of my favorite stories this year! I am afraid I’ll take away a star if I click.

This story actually gave me chills! Bravo/a!

I’m definitely too late this year, but I’ll post anyway.

Knowing the difference between nursing homes and hospice, but also how the two are related is very important. Hospice is palliative (comfort not curative) care for people who have been given a prognosis of 6 months of less; there are different levels that can be provided in-home or in facilities. Most hospice…

I needed this fine meme today. Thank you!

It’s definitely different from when he first started, but I think he gets people to talk about issues and topics that other interviewers never touch. It feels like I always learn a lot of his guests and I leave feeling like I *know* them more than I do with other podcasts/interviews.

I have a question regarding credit limits. I have two cards (one for only emergencies and one for everyday use); I pay my everyday use card every month and don’t have anything on the emergency card (knock on wood). I’ve had the everyday card for about 3 years and the company had raised my limit 4 times and only…

As someone who doesn’t want kids (and is in a relationship with someone who also does not want kids), I hate being asked questions about when we will have children. But, I use it as an opportunity to say “We don’t want children. You shouldn’t ask people about something so personal. What if you asked me that and I was…

Friends laugh at me because I pick up change off of the ground, but it really does add up! I opened my first bank account when I was 12 (with a parent as the cosigner) with $500 in change I had collected and saved. I can’t even count how many times I have found $5, $10, $20, and $50 on the ground (I do check when I…

I didn’t have much to haggle, but I helped my S/O successfully negotiate pay for a new job. My lease renewal came up and I negotiated with the management company, and I did get them to reduce the rent they were attempting to charge and offer a few perks free of cost, but ultimately I found a much cheaper place and…

As a childless person, here is what has worked for my friends with kids.

I think automatic savings/investing can help with this. When I got a raise, I updated my auto-deductions to include the increase in pay. That way my “take home” pay was the same but my savings and investments grew more rapidly.

Absolutely agree! Every young college-aged adult should know what a Roth IRA is and plan to get one ASAP.

I’ll add to do this with investing, too! Automatically putting money in a Roth IRA or other accounts means not only have saved, but you have investment accounts that can grow (and potentially have an end of year tax credit!).

Shower head upgrades are a game changer—especially if the rental shower head is too short!

Sure, that could be a factor, but my bet is that the data was collected via a survey where they asked either 1) what is your hourly wage? or 2) what is your annual salary?
