Average and median costs tend to be in the 250,000 mark because of the millions of people living in or near urban centers that pull both the median and the mean higher.

I think that’s a little too harsh and a little too broad. In any given year, nearly 20% of the population is suffering from some form of mental illness. Should no one stay with any of them?

As someone with an anxiety disorder dating someone with chronic depression and ADD, I’d argue that with correct medication and individual and couple’s therapy, you can learn to blend your particular brands of crazy together well enough not to exacerbate each other’s nutso. We’ve learned who has which buttons and how…

I agree. But I would add to that: Know when not to walk away. It’s amazing how many things you can fix that seem difficult. But as you said, there’s definitely times when it’s best to walk away. As always, it’s a judgment call.

Mine would be to find a partner that is genuinely kind.

Honest communication is essential. After 9 years with my boyfriend, we’re finally getting the hang of communicating. If we had tried harder earlier a lot of tears could have been spared.

I agree that debt should be paid off and it’s best to live below your means. This article doesn’t contradict that. It’s about doing those things and still making room in your life, at some point, for travel. For example, there’s an entire section on simply planning for it, settling for cheaper, local activities, and…

Replace “most” with “some” and “devout” with “uptight, legalistic” and I’ll agree with you.
I say this as a very dedicated follower of Jesus who works at a well-respected church . . . which also happens to be where I picked up the habit of swearing. Not everyone on staff uses that kind of colorful vocabulary, and…

It is not offensive to most god fearing people. Nor do “devout” people get to decide what is common use or not.

1. “Damn” has been an intensifier like “very” for years now (and is otherwise fairly versatile). For instance — “Damn, that damn guy is damn evil! I wish I could damn him straight to Hell.”

Eh? I still have the flashlight in my quick settings on the Moto X 2014 with 5.0.

I think using keepass and keepassdroid w/ syncing via dropbox works pretty well.

I really hate this concept people have of our bodies being filled with unnamed “toxins” ready to kill us at any moment, and in order to ensure our survival, we have to go out of our way to “flush” them.

I understand these concerns, but I don’t think it will actually be that bad. This sounds like it’s identical to how it works on iOS. Namely, the first time you give an app permission to use the microphone, the app gets permission from then on by default. After that, you can manually disable it. If you disable the…

This looks to be just a map of most of their shipping centers. I suppose that’s probably the only way this could work.

Yeah, except they are neither easy to work with or free to use.

Wasn’t there an article recently written by Gizmodo or Lifehacker about security concerns with Venmo? I don’t remember exactly what it said, but I remember whatever it said let me to delete my Venmo account.

By that argument, isn’t a lot of what goes on in a job interview kind of BS in the first place? That’s what most of those questions are designed to do—sort of test you and make sure you answer in the right way that doesn’t raise any potential red flag for the employer. Sure, the interview can help you gauge whether or…

Well, like I said in the article, biking isn’t always feasible. Interpreting this article as “A 3-4 hour bicycle commute is way better than an hour long car ride will make you happier” is a pretty willful misread.

As a supplement to “Adult Budgeting 101”, I’ve found the software YNAB (you need a budget) to be helpful. The ability to enter transactions on my smartphone, and have those transactions wirelessly sync with my PC is great! Knowing where my money is “budgeted” at any given time is reassuring too. (I’m not employed…
