Seriously! My wife and I don’t have expenses like this at all, save for maybe mortgage and student loan interest. We certainly don’t donate $3,000 to charity. Having $10,000 in medical expenses is legitimately impossible because we only have a $1,000 deductible. But, we certainly paid WAY more than $10,000 in taxes.

As a tax attorney, your friend is going to get raped by the IRS. He’s an idiot.

Yes, but it seems relatively clear that Lukes Dagobah training wasn’t the only training he had since he starts ROTJ as a Jedi Knight. So, that would indicate that he had additional training after his fight with Vader and before going to Jabba’s palace.

I think the Clone Wars was done much better than TFA. TFA was a half-assed rehash of ANH with overly PC characters. My wife, my mom, and I all walked out of that film extremely disappointed.

Return of the Jedi. Luke had trained with Yoda prior to Return of the Jedi. That’s how he learned as much as he did. It wasn’t just the time before his first encounter with Vader.

It’s generally accepted that Luke trained with Yoda for around a year, on and off. Probably amounting to several months worth of one on one training with the greatest Jedi Master the Universe had ever known.

And if that’s true, that’s why I’m going to be done with Star Wars into the future. If you’re going to fundamentally change a core aspect of the story, then you need to just call it quits and write a new story. The force may have gone silent (which is literally the stupidest premise ever, what? the force was totally

But she couldn’t be trained as a Jedi. She was what, 18? Jedi knights were maybe 18, but probably older. So, she was never a Jedi. At most she was a padawan, fully incapable of performing a Jedi Mind Trick.

By “save” I just mean, not spend. We have a checking account, retirement accounts, and brokerage accounts, as well as our assets.

I base that on the Star Wars time line. Empire happened in 35 and the battle of Yavin happend in 36. It’s well established.

No, it doesn’t, but we can intuit it from who uses it.

Luke trained for at least a year on and off with Yoda. Rey didn’t train at all, ever, and picked up the most advanced force techniques (mind control) in literal seconds. So no, in the Star Wars universe, it isn’t explain at all, other than poor writing in the name of “equality.”

Based on your comment, I don’t know whether “ex” was ex-spouse or ex-BF or what. But, I think if you’re married, and this is of course just my opinion, everything is shared. Yes, we have certain things that are our own items. For example, I’m a musician and my wife isn’t. All my guitars and recording equipment are

Good god that’s ridiculous. I’ve never heard of something like that. Of course, I generally don’t pay that much attention, beyond the exact dollar figure, and even if it’s off by less than $100, I just assume it was some FSA, 401(k), or health deduction. I probably should pay more attention to that.

Because it’s contrary to 240 years of law. I KNOW!

My wife loves that I take care of all the finances. She’s a resident physician working 80 hour weeks so, it’s not like she has time anyway. But, I am a tax attorney, so I’m definitely not just sitting around.

That sounds on point. Both my wife and I are not extravagant spenders. In fact, she basically doesn’t spend money. I’m the one that buys stuff, typically for the house, but I have been known to buy a few video games now and then.

Is it weird to just have a joint account and not fight about money? My wife and I have a single checking account from which every expense is paid. If we want to buy something under $100, we just do (neither of us are spendthrifts, so we don’t do that often). If the amount is over $100, we quickly discuss it. Also, the

Well, I’m sorry, and do not take this personally, but, that’s the dumbest statement I’ve ever heard.

It might be clear to you that you think I don’t understand encryption. But I promise, what you think is wholly incorrect.
