This could be best summarized as: “Have a simple plan and stick to it. And move your junk outta the way.”  Got it.

I don’t quite understand the argument that person A has zero cash and a paid off house. Are you saying it’s impossible to save over 30 years when you own a house? That’s flat out false UNLESS you overspent and are house poor. There are many people who bought 10 years ago who have a cheaper mortgage payment than a…

Many homes purchased in 2014 in a decent metropolitan area have already doubled in value. And it’s not written in stone that you have have to take 30 years to pay it off. Extra principal payments add up over time. I wouldn’t buy a home as an “investment”, but I sure don’t want to 1) pay someone else’s mortgage with…

This is 100% dependent on your location.  Rye grass overseeding is a couple months away (hopefully) in Arizona.

Here’s another example of a double dip: I have a card that gives me 5% cash back on Restaurant purchases. In addition, I have added that same card to my Southwest Rapid Rewards Dining account (Southwest Airlines points per dollar of spending at participating restaurants...a lot of the restaurants I frequent are…

I recall flying back from Malaysia and sitting in the Business Class lounge in the Singapore airport (Cathay Pacific? Don’t remember which one.)....and it was AMAZING! Unlimited ramen, drinks, nap room, showers. When our flight was delayed 3+ hrs, it was a godsend.  Not all are created equal, but there are some great…

So the complete opposite of Kendall Roy.  I always found his idioms fun and creative.

Woah.

“How they hanging?” works for both men and women.

I’ve used the cheap jump starters in the past and had one swell and fail on the second time I used it. Never again. Going forward, I went with NOCO GB40 and keep one in each vehicle. I set a reminder on my phone to top off the charge every 6 months, but even after that period of time it’s still at ~90+%. I could…

Is that fur in the ring?  I guess the IPs 16th (unknown) option is a cat bed.  :)

Phoenix, AZ “farmer’s market” store.  Big name grocery stores are double the price.

F*** statins. My experience is:

Or, you could load more tacos on that plate and they can support each other.

I usually just focus on my Wishlist. If the items on my wishlist go on sale for Prime Day (and I truly still want them), I’ll pull the trigger. Otherwise, I don’t look at their deals. I also use the Keepa plugin to track the price and confirm it’s really a deal on that day.

Just the other day I was looking for a 6-pack…

I use a pellet grill for smoking. It does a pretty decent job of smoking, but doesn’t have as good a smoke profile as a stick burner. You can buy a Smoke Tube to supplement the smoke profile, but it’s still not quite as smoky. That being said, they’re supremely easy to use and do a really good job of maintaining…

My best friend died of complications from avian flu. (Complete lung failure and eventual internal infections while on the ECMO) It can definitely kill humans if the illness is not addressed early. He thought he could ride it out and didn’t go to the hospital until severe damage was already done.

I recommend everyone here watch Supersize Me 2: Holy Chicken

Are you registered to vote?  That’s what got me on the list.

My guess is they (govt) knew there will be a population of people who abuse this. For example, a given address now has requests for 6 extra kids, aunt Jenny, uncle Fester, grammy, pawpaw, and a foreign exchange student. Given an angle, people will abuse it...because people suck.
