It is a dumb system. Mine dropped when I paid off my car. They want you to be actively making on-time payments. If you have no payments to make, this is somehow considered a negative.

Listen, the adult woman in me wants to play dress-up in these crazy dresses!

You’re right, I apologize for my gross misrepresentation!

My parents wouldn’t purchase magazines for me as a youth, but they would get old back issues for free from the public library (at least, I think that’s where these came from). So I grew up reading magazines that had been published at least 4 years prior. I remember them very fondly and committed several issues to…

I agree with you. Keillor’s show was almost unlistenable. It’s so much more enjoyable with Thile.

No you are definitely right about that! The voice over is particularly hilarious.

Ah yes you’re right. Thanks!

I don’t ignore it - I actively check the balance and take some small pleasure in seeing it grow - but I just don’t consider it spending money. I’m trying to think of…

I do this all of the time, especially on Amazon. I pile stuff onto my “shopping list”, and then about two weeks later I check to see if I still want any of it and the answer is almost always no. Putting it on the list is somehow gratifying enough and I always end up forgetting that it was something I once wanted for…

I have Mint and it is ok. I tried YNAB and honestly it perplexed me so I stopped using it. What I do use and really like though is a simple excel spreadsheet that tracks my running bank account balance. I list out my paychecks and subtract my recurring bills each month, all on the days they occur. It is really helpful…

My boyfriend has been unemployed for over a year. After a certain point you “fall off” the unemployment rolls, so he and others like him are no longer taken into consideration when the employment rate is calculated.

Agreed 100%. His movies are clearly made just to get his own dick hard. I can’t believe how many people like them.
