Yeah, seriously. I work out not because i believe it to be “hedonism” but because I feel like it’s a chore I have to do if I want to give myself the night of blow, weird sex, and liquors poured on and around my mouth i feel i deserve. Hedonism is a gin martini with a cocaine rim that someone has to hold up to my…

Why not revise your budget to reflect your values. Set yourself up for success instead of for failure. Scale back on stuff you don’t care about.

I wonder how much you’ve worked alone. Personally, those types of relationships are not the same and not interchangeable. Just because I went out last night or have plans tonight doesn’t negate the need for human contact during the day.

I assume they’re giving him 10k because they’re sick of driving him around, they’re not just giving him 10k to spend.

i hate the money pit that cars are as much as the next person, but in a lot of places in this country (pewaukee being one of them), they’re necessary. you can’t get to work or reliably hold down a job without one. how is he supposed to contribute to his index fund without a job?

Not having a car where I grew up was not practical. It was rural. There was no such thing as public transportation. The weather meant you couldn’t rely on a bicycle. My parents had their own jobs and my siblings who couldn’t drive needed rides to their activities. There was no other way for me to get myself and my…

If you’re going to have a job that will allow you to save enough for retirement in the first place, you’re not going to have a problem buying a decent car later in life regardless of whether you save now or not.

What do you imagine the public transit situation in Pewaukee, Wisconsin to be?

BAD advice. That’s the quickest way to get a reputation as a leech or a momma’s boy (he always has to bum rides off someone), and at the same time, he turns into the insufferable person in any scenario talking about how his index fund is better than a car. And girls? I wouldn’t have said a second word to a guy who…

As someone from the same general area as Joey, if you don’t have a car, there’s no getting around. Everything is spread out to the point that you can’t easily bike/walk to much. Bus service is extremely sporadic, and there’s no rail of any kind. I suppose there’s hitching a ride with parent(s), sibling(s), or…

Frequent flyer here and I experience and do the same. I use cable (zip) ties on all checked luggage zipper pulls even for units with built-in TSA locks.

I’m hitting grocery today for a special ‘Hershey Bar and Cheese Whiz Valentine Surprise’ for my sweetie.

Dear Claire’s boyfriend,

You have been informed.

I’m an idiot, because I always assumed that plates at restaurants were hot because they just got out of the dishwasher.

In the non-alcoholic column, I recommend root beer, but it needs to be one with a darker flavor.

...Don’t... like... red... wine? I don’t understand this headline.

While you’re calling, make sure you only call the people who actually represent you.

From what I can tell, the majority do not even consider your remarks on cabinet nominations. Democrats will oppose all nominations and 95% of the Republican members will favor all nominations regardless of public outcry. It’s still worth it to speak up so the media can point out they are not acting as representatives…

@kevinp2: You make a very good point I think a lot of people (myself included) do not consider in the grand scheme of things:
