This is absolutely obscene how complete strangers can look into your life without your wanting them to.

yes yes yes to everything. I read those articles sometimes when I get trapped in the Rabbit Hole known as the “internet”, and honestly, I do 90% of the things listed in those articles, and I’m well to do, but I was well to do, BEFORE I started doing those things via actions earlier in my life.

Most important habit of rich people: Choosing the right parents.

You start allocating the maximum expense you had in last 12 month[s].

I start my morning with a cup of Trader Joe’s instant coffee with heavy cream:

French press is too messy? Boil water stir press pour. Rinse whole thing down drain in sink. I’m seriously lazy and this is absolutely no big deal. “3-D coffee” too.

But it was an epic lunch at the salad bar.

That’s ok. Nothing in a 0 year old house is plumb, square or level either!

I was just going to take some office supplies and maybe some K-cups... but maybe I’ll hold out for that letter instead.

Nah.

Your house is gorgeous - you should be very proud! BUT - being that old, it’s definitely HAUNTED!

Most of the money we have ever made has gone into this house. Maybe it pays off, maybe it doesn’t, but it is a great place to live now and that is all that matters for me. The interior was worse than the exterior! We lived off of a toaster oven and microwave for the first six months until we got a new kitchen…

I have em...you may regret asking though...I could talk about this house all day. Very proud of the work we’ve done. It took 20 years, but I still say it was all worth it. Most of these are a before and after setup. If I find some interior shots, I’ll post them.

Having owned and lived in a nearly 170 year old stone farmhouse for over 20 years, this is a subject that I love! Our house was probably only a few years away from not being salvageable when we first bought it. I mean, it was awful and I thought we made a huge mistake. It is surprising that we survived our first year…

Multiple studies, including this one published in the Journal of Environmental Health, and this one from Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, suggest that the acid in vinegar does pretty well with common kitchen-based microbials like E. coli and salmonella. BUT it’s not great against rarer, but nastier stuff…

Those numbers seem a little out of wack. I mean, even if you are ordering a $5 coffee every weekday, that barely cracks $1000 and it is of course, much less money than that if you’re making it at home or buying something cheaper (like a $2 coffee).

Beware - although this approach protects your primary credit card, if your primary card is stolen, you’ll have to redo all your generated CC#’s with the primary card replacement. So even in your scenario, not using the primary card for anything else still applies.

Hmm. I am pretty divided. Yes, I can point to a couple things I’ve written where I simply became tired of fighting an editor even though I knew I was right or a piece became something I never wanted it to be and the framing was all wrong. When you find “the one” — the editor who inspires you and gets what you’re…

No but they fluctuate the price on macbook poetry.

Unless you make $10k/yr! Just messing with you, good work!
