Both of these people are insufferable.  I guess that makes good TV

Yup. A couple years ago I put $5000 into each of my kids’ 529 plans. That $5000 is now worth about $7000. Not sure I’d get a 30% return on my investment by doing weekend soccer tournaments 400 miles away.

This. My son is a very talented baseball and soccer player. I don’t brag about him to other parents. I don’t push him to do more. I just tell him to have fun. he’s 10. He was in a competitive soccer club and was asked to join their academy team. He said he wanted to try flag football. So guess what, we quit soccer and…

It’s a dead man’s party!

I’m gonna go ahead and disagree with the assumptions that this is a ‘crushed nut’ scenario and propose an alternate theory based on his reaction. I believe what had happened here is a ‘hair yank’. His pubes got ‘tied up’ in a pant or underwear seam and the crossed legs were all that was needed to yank those suckers…

But was it supposed to be “a good superhero movie?”

He can still possess the old dead lady like in the book. They just have to leave out the part where he basically mentors Jack through his entire teenage years

I’m wondering how they handle Dick Hallorann. He gets killed in the Kubrick movie, but he lives in the book. He plays a substantial role in Danny’s teenage life between the two books and he plays a key role in Dr. Sleep in the form of a possession (he died in 1999) of a lady that dies in the hospice care facility.…

we can agree to disagree. but I can guarantee if you were pulling out bills to pay for what you need, you would spend less and you’d save more than that $1000/yr.  It’s a proven strategy to budgeting.  

We just bought a 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite and it’s the collest fricking vehicle I’ve ever owned. I make excuses to go to the store just so I can drive it since it’s the wife’s daily car.

My post was actually kinda joking around, but I do agree with much of his advice. And while I’d agree his first few babysteps are baseline advice ($1000 in an emergency fund, debt snowballing, stop going into more debt) I’d call the rest of his advice above a baseline. If you can get completely out of debt (minus the…

Oh, I forgot, have an emergency fund.  That addresses your last sentence.  But if you think having a credit card saves you money because of perks, I have endless studies that show how spending cash says otherwise.  Sure, anyone can say ‘when used wisely’ to try to squash this point, but the studies are there and of…

Ok, let’s go down that road. So this person is obsessed over fraud and not the score (not sure I buy that, but whatever). Let’s say you check one day and boom, 3 new accounts! Then what? First, had the person’s credit been frozen there’s a very high chance that the person trying to open those accounts would have given…

So you check your score 2-3 times a month yet you are saying ‘DON’T obsess over the number.’ It seems like you are very obsessed. What possible reason do you have to check your score that many times a month? Your score won’t say anything about fraud. Simple fraud alerts from the credit agencies or freezing your credit…

Never.  Pay off debt.  Save money.  Buy with cash. -Dave Ramsey

I’m one of the ‘lucky’ ones to live where we get Google Fiber. There is literally no way for them to do this (that’s what they say). You are either grandfathered in to a lower rate or bundle. Or they will credit you back some money if you have problems. I think the original lower grandfathered rates are all gone now…

At 100K miles these are a must. Hoses and belts. Wheel bearings. Fluid services, especially brakes, coolant, transfer case and differential. Fuel pump.

I recently drove a 2019 RX as a loaner while getting my old GX470 looked at. Our other car is a 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite. I’m pretty floored by how Honda has surpassed Toyota in terms of technology. The seamless integration of the driver info display with the center screen is pretty awesome. And turning off/on things…

I feel like this was way over analyzed.

She didn’t bring it up, she was asked. And she gave a better answer than most. She doesn’t like scary shows or sex in her shows, which is perfectly fine. At least she didn’t tear the show down or make fun of its audience like so many feel they need to do.
