Those are fantastic! Just not helpful when both people want to use a computer at once.

Okay but I would still use toilet paper to dry myself after all that.

Agreed. I have a well-stocked emergency fund (equal to what I make in a year since I’m below the poverty line; still thousands less than my student loans) but if someone asked me if I could afford a $100 dollar emergency I’d say ‘no’ because that would give me a panic attack, and although I would use my emergency fund…

“could spend it without noticing it’s gone” is an interesting look at any given person’s comfort level with money. From where I’m sitting, anything less than ten bucks is practically free, but in leaner times, I’d argue with myself over a $2 chili dog from 7-Eleven.

A lot of the ‘emergency fund’ dilemma for many people is, like you said, learning how to save. Setting aside even one dollar a week is a huge step because it’s not the amount, it’s the habit of putting something away. And while I know $4 a month seems ridiculous to most people, putting that away every single time you…

I suspect they’ve gotten bad advice from college career centers. Mine was notorious for stuff like that. They told us not to include anything that wasn’t directly relevant. I don’t do much hiring. but when I get resumes of interns or junior staff assigned to me, I’m always happy to see some job like retail or…

I might feel more strongly about this if the seat went back further than 5 degrees. But I’m just as uncomfortable as 85 degrees as I am at 90, so I leave it up.

A lot of jobs have skills that can apply in other situations. In one of my first job interviews they asked how I handled stressful, time-sensitive situations. I talked about my lifeguarding job, and toddlers’ tendency to toddle right on into the pool. I also had experience telling people things they didn’t want to…

Along these same lines, don’t just sit at your parents’ house applying for jobs all summer. DO SOMETHING. Grocery store, golf course, internship, whatever - applying for jobs doesn’t take so much work that you can’t have a part-time job too.

I don’t think they’re saying nobody noticed it. My guess is that they’re saying that the officers on the scene were either ignorant of protocol or simply didn’t follow it. You would think that a lot of cops would arrive after a shooting that had two victims, one dead, and that somebody would no standard procedure, but…

Literally just had this conversation with the husband. The bloody republicans own everything. They could just quietly achieve their evil goals in a shadow empire but this bellowing orange buffoon just cannot shut his trap. Husband added that there will never be plausible deniability because he simply can’t not be…

Forgot the photo op with Kissinger for no fucking reason whatsoever.

The fact that people have to make excuses for what a dumb liar he is says SO MUCH about where we are as a country.

I’ll add to do this with investing, too! Automatically putting money in a Roth IRA or other accounts means not only have saved, but you have investment accounts that can grow (and potentially have an end of year tax credit!).

Best advice. Ever.

Yup. It rocks. Except for traffic and air pollution, that is. And the occasional earthquake... 

Welcome! I hope you enjoy my city.

Exactly. Plus why pay more than you have to sometimes? I regularly fly Spirit. (though I constantly price shop for upcoming flights) I pack extremely light. I have a bag that maxes out that under seat dimension for Spirit because I use them so often. I use it and max out its interior. I wear whatever nice…

three of us are flying to Mexico City this fall on Volaris.

The ability to quickly cool a beverage is nice, but it’s really small. Seems like sticking your cold brew (or any cold beverage) in the fridge the night before or the freezer for a little while and then decanting it into a nice big Yeti-type tumbler or growler will give you a lot more cold beverage on those hot days…
