I feel like sharing our most shameful financial regrets would be just as productive. Maybe more so. We’ve all made mistakes and can learn from our past and from each other.

I put 25% of my deployment income into my TSP. I was a dumb Army E-4 who didn’t know nothing about nothing but I didn’t have a family, mortgage, or a car note back home so my salary was pure profit. Some of my buddies tried to get me into dumb shit like playing penny stocks while I was over there. I only spent a…

Ha. I remember some news reports several years back about how the French get at least five weeks of mandated vacation time, with no more than 35 hour work week — and by and large, the American response seemed to be, “Pff, they’re so lazy.” I’m just like, WHY DON’T WE THINK THIS IS A GOOD THING?! Working yourself to…

Welcome to what women have known forever. Although the cynical part of me thinks that maybe things will finally change since it affects men.

The only thing I have to hang my hat on is my salary, which is far more than I ever imagined I’d be earning. The rest of my financial life is an unmitigated disaster, unfortunately, but I’m starting to get it under control.

I never understood how people can claim to believe abortion is murder and then support exceptions for rape and incest. It’s either murder or it’s not. Saying it’s ok in cases of rape or incest just makes it clear you just want to punish women for having sex willingly, does it not?

What in the fuck are you going on about?

“how the hell an ethics professor misses the red lights”

These people aren’t doing jack. They’re having fun.

Success has a thousand fathers; failure is an orphan

Both my parents died before age 60 — my father didn’t even make 50. This is weirdly comforting to remember when I think about retirement.

Crummy genes are my retirement plan. While you chumps are trying to stretch your money all the way to the nursing home, I’ll be laughing my ass off in an urn somewhere.

I mean, it’s not like I was ever going to retire anyway.

I am never giving up my 6s. An actual home button! TouchID! A headphone jack!!!! A fine piece of machinery.

They should do that, but contract the name to Escraptor.

So would world peace.

I would wager the entirety of my meager net worth that this will not be body on frame.

Guy in a band here, and I think it’s more on the dude to make sure it’s clear that she doesn’t have to come to every show to qualify as a supportive SO. My wife comes to about 1 out of 4 shows and that’s plenty. She’s heard us play it all before, I’m too busy to hang out with her much, it’s loud and takes forever, it…

because many straight men think taking good, well-composed selfies or asking someone to photograph them when they look fresh to death is “girly.”

One guy contacted me that had photos of him posing with guns and a pick ax! “Yes, stranger on the internet, I’m totally safe. Come to my cabin in the woods where I keep my pick ax and we’ll hang out.”
