Oof. So many “didn’t happen” responses. We’ve managed to keep the vast majority of our kid free friends after having a kiddo. Couple things I would suggest - find an activity. Each of you, once a week or so that gets you out of the house and connecting with your friends. Also, figure out your plans for babysitting…

If you ever have to make a large batch of cornbread (or cornbread muffins), like for a potluck or large family gathering, mix the batter from 2 boxes of Jiffy cornbread mix with the batter from 1 box of Jiffy yellow cake mix. It’s amazing.
There seems to be the usual confusion between expensive, luxury, and quality in the replies.
I believe you can invest only up to $18,000 tax deferred. You should be able to invest as much as you want into your 401-k, however you’ll still be paying taxes on anything over $18,000.
I would argue that as well. Not only did Rusty Yates willfully ignore the countless recommendations by various physicians, he specifically left her alone to, in his words, “toughen her up”. He alienated her from everybody around her, moved her from a nice house to a converted school bus and then told her all the…
Actually, Yates’ husband insisted she go off her prescribed medications and encouraged her to check out of a psychiatric facility. Her doctors were quite concerned about her mental health and strongly discouraged the couple from having another child. Yates’ husband impregnated her almost immediately after she left the…
Years ago, I helped Abigail Fishers get into college in Texas. That was my job: I “tutored” entitled teenagers…
She is so courageous it's heartwrenching.
In January 2015, Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner was arrested for raping an unconscious woman outside of a…
Social media has been around for quite a while now, and all this mucking with “timelines” and how they’re presented has been happening for at least a few years. Facebook insists that it focuses a huge amount of time and research into showing you “what you want to see.” I ask this honestly : is ANYONE happy with…

Tips used to come out of kindness, saying “hey, I know the moving company already paid you but extra thanks for moving that chair that my body can’t physically deal with anymore”. Now it’s this ridiculous custom that crept its way into our economic system.
Morningstar is one of the best resources for all things related to investing, but many features require a premium…
When you set up a plan to pay off debt, you’re probably willing to forego frivolous expenses. However, even the…
It’s not always easy to be honest with people. We’re all guilty of telling a white lie or pretending to be okay with…
Oh wow, another misogynist woman-hating teenager who wants to murder women en masse because he was rejected by a female. This shit is getting real old. People - stop raising your boys to think that they are *owed* a woman. We are people, we have agency, we are NOT prizes that one can “win” by being nice or because you…
My worst car-buying experience: I looked at a vehicle, got approved for the financing of the vehicle, and went back the next day to seal the deal. When I returned, the car had been sold to someone else. The asshole salesman tried to tell me that, because I was approved for financing, I HAD to buy a car from them. I…
When we bought our last car, we knew we would face these back-room upsells, we had done our homework, and knew not one of them was worthwhile. We declined the extended warranty and the F&I guy said:
