I would suggest the dumpee’s place. That way they can throw you out, slam the door in your face, and can grab that bottle of wine or tub of ice cream and be alone with their thoughts. They don’t have to drive through tears or rage. Comfortable in their own home. Just make sure you’ve gotten everything out of their…

DO NOT DO IT AT YOUR PLACE. You risk having the person refusing to leave and eventually the cops will get called and before you know it, you’re hanging out in the drunk tank until morning.

An ex once told me that the best way to break up with someone was to do it at the *breakupee’s house so that you can leave immediately after in case they dawdle or freak out or refuse to leave your place. 

So let me get this straight...you spent the last hour sitting across from me, making pleasant small talk and pretending you were still interested in maybe a quick trip to the beach together this summer, all the while knowing you were going to dump me once the bill was paid? WHAT THE FUCK?!

Retiring a year earlier isn’t necessarily that irrational though. Life is short, and time is sometimes valuable in a way that even a lot of money can’t match. Also all years in retirement are not necessarily created equal. An extra year getting to spend relaxing or playing with the grandkids while you are relatively…

I hate the samples at Costco. Or rather I hate the people who block isles because they’re so anxious to get a cube of cheese or a square of chocolate.

20% of your first “real job” income in a 401k...yeah, if your uncle pulls some strings to get you hired at the brokerage firm, maybe.

I don’t think most people make a reasoned, logical decision regarding when to retire that takes all factors into account to maximize return.

I think there’s a difference between having emotions and lacking all emotional self-control.

Sure, but do you want to go on vacation or just wait in line in a bank in a foreign country?

Aer Lingus would charge for air if they could, oof.

NJ here: Typically $8.99/lb for USDA Choice NY strip steaks at Costco. I get them as a 4-pack so ~$36. They sometimes have Prime but I remember it being almost double the price.

It’s a few bucks cheaper per pound, especially on the high-end cuts. But the real advantage comes because they sell “primals” - big pieces of meat or entire muscles that haven’t yet been broken down into individual steaks or chops.

Listen, if you’re going to do it adjacent to my meal at least have the courtesy to be entertaining about it.

Why would you ask a waitress this? What qualifies her more than anybody? These are bottom of the barrel questions.

I’ve always lived in a place where I have access to a variety of grocery stores: national chain, local chain, family owned, etc.

In my opinion, the restaurant break-up is a manipulative way to try and force the other the other person to behave in a polite manner because you think they won’t make a scene in public.

Imagine you are planning to propose at a nice restaurant, then, just before your planned moment, an ugly breakup breaks out at the next table.

As a S7 owner I just hope they don’t put in some “slow down” code to coerce me into another unneeded upgrade. I know that’s supposed to be a myth, but with so much motive and opportunity, it’s very hard not to be suspicious.

Yeah, i’m “still holding onto” my phone that i’m still paying off...
