You don’t need a penny, a quarter, calipers of anything else to determine if your tires have enough tread left on them because almost all tires have a thing called “wear bars”. They’re ridges of rubber built right into the tire! If the wear bars are even with the top of the tread, it’s time to get a new tire. If the…

There is no amount of savings worth battling a crowded store during a pandemic for.

The USPS and the airlines are the only industries I know of where customer service can take a crap, people use it less, and the prices increase.  

This is a very... questionable list. Surely there are better examples.

I would also call bullshit on the bathing in the storm in places with modern plumbing. New houses use PVC as vent/drain and even the supply lines are underground so I’m not sure how it would go through your entire system.

When my daughter was about three years old I used to hand the phone to her when I got a sales call. She loved to talk on the phone.

So, don’t use your shed.

So, um... where do I keep my propane then?

Exactly. And the vaseline trick doesn’t even work very well. This is another one of Elizabeth Yuko’s halfassed “hacks.”

Keep in mind, this is a short term fix that will destroy your suction cups. Petroleum jelly will slowly break down most of the compounds that suction cups are made of.

People like Taco Bell and I’ll never understand why. Even in Southern California, where Mexican food is readily available every 20 feet or so, Taco Bell is still seemingly busy and profitable.

So are property owners getting funding during this as well? I would think that would only be fair, it’s not like the banks are going to say “owe, you can just skip your mortgage”. 

We accept/handle this risk better than most people that rent out property. We haven’t missed a payment despite not being paid ourselves. We haven’t taken any government money and haven’t gone into forbearance. So yes, we fully understand the risk and can afford it.

That’s not a fair statement. Imagine investing in the stock market and then the rules get changed causing you to lose money. Landlords understand the rules of the game which include the ability to evict non-paying tenants. During this pandemic the rules have been changed with no warning, and landlords are stuck…

Our tenant decided vacations during a pandemic and buying a new truck was more important than paying rent since April 2020.  Hasnt lost his job or anything, just livin’ life.  I know where I’ll be 12:01am on October 1st.

Translation: If you rented out your home in these states, your tenants still don’t have to pay you, but your mortgage is still due and you’re still screwed.

There’s a real psychological impact to that number—my parents never made $100K together, and the idea that one person could make that much is still pretty wild for most Americans.

You tried this exact same reasoning a few weeks ago with your article on buying out your lease. Same problem: It has to be a surplus car or you lose all profit when you go to buy a replacement. So it’s not “especially if you don’t need one right now,” it’s only if you don’t.
