I grew up in a conservative community. I enjoyed watching Jersey Shore for documenting how others live their lives, but after watching the entire series, I never felt like I missed anything worthwhile in my youth. #GTL

One of my sons had a similar issue where he was withholding poop. We ultimately resorted to a gloved finger smeared in vaseline to effectively lubricate the pipes. He was obviously in a lot of pain and wearing training pull-ups at the time. Had the same crayon smears in every one. To this day, he still seems to…

A party without alcohol is just another meeting.

Code for the wireless OBD2 scanner is expired.

Disgusting when people don’t wash their hands.

I often wonder if tutorials like this are only written to write off the cost of a new component for the author.

I think it’s more about the mentality of people in the high-end market. Most aren’t buying a car for ownership. They view the purchase as renting a status symbol and a public image. No one is keeping the Porsche that long. I’d be surprised if they kept it longer than 6 months, so what the’ve created is a low cost…

Follow Warren Buffet’s advice. Just buy a low-cost investment fund. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/12/warren-buffett-says-index-funds-make-the-best-retirement-sense-practically-all-the-time.html

And lastly, I have no debt. There’s no burden on my family if I pass.

Do not fear investing. If you study finance, you learn you have to borrow from somewhere to make the investment. That borrowing always has a cost. If you went to the bank, you’d pay around 8% on an unsecured loan. Or, you can “borrow” from the opportunity to pay off your mortgage at 2.5%. Immediately, you’ve already…

Star for you. Came here to share the same sentiment.

Ever wanted to go back to Summer Camp? The BSA is offering a family program with out the need for one parent to attend a training conference at their national training center in New Mexico this year. Prices are very reasonable. Only requirement is at least one family member has to be a BSA youth or leader. I…

What about “How do I feel about the people I work with?” or “How will the relationships I’m developing at work benefit me in the future?”

If they are over retirement age, everything they share is suspect.

I guarantee my local Subway will still demand I sign. They’ve made me sign whenever I’ve use apple pay in the last year. Of course these kids aren’t even smart enough to make a sandwich right most of the time.

Some states are community property states. If one spouse dishonestly runs up debt without the other’s knowledge, both are still on the hook. What it comes down to in for the OP, is her husband is dragging them into financial ruin. Unless he changes, she goes down with him.

Just tip your server well when the kid makes an inevitable mess.

Our front load washer kept clunking out with a motor speed error. The code suggested the motor might be bad, but I ruled that out using my multi-meter. Zero sources on the web had anything helpful for my situation, and it’s just old enough to be on the bubble for replacement. I ended up ordering a motor control unit…

Interest rates and inflation tend to rise and fall in tandem, though there is lag in the processes. The cost of borrowing (i.e interest rate) is offset by wage increases (i.e. inflation). We’re still very low side of interest rates, so you’re fine to buy right now. Buying only becomes worrisome if you get locked into…

I’ll counterpoint this. When the fiduciary rule took effect, my Edward Jones advisor demanded I come to his office to make some changes. One of them being agreeing to a new monthly fee to compensate him for the new rules. In my case, the advisor used the new requirements to pad his pocketbook without providing any new…
