I’ve found that games with decks of cards in them get a little extra scrutiny too.

Just because you don’t have 20% doesn’t mean you have to do FHA. Assuming you have good credit, you can do traditional with 5% down. You’ll still have to pay mortgage insurance, but only until you get to owing 80% of the value of the home vs for the life of the loan with FHA. Plus the rates tend to be better than FHA.

It has not been the law to separate children from their families. It is still not the law:

I’m in the same boat at almost 50. I live in Los Angeles. I have 2 jobs, I save $30 a month. I know that for most, $30 is nothing. For me, it’s a huge sacrifice.

This person is doing a good job at getting on track, though. I’m looking at it that way, because that’s exactly my age and it’s pretty easy to become defeatist and “why bother?”-ist when looking at retirement and other daunting financial responsibilities and not having as much as you *should*. This stuff is hard,…

I agree! This seems like a feature that woulda been added a long time ago 😑

I wish they’d make sharing regular posts easier! It seems stupid that you have to get a third-party app to do it.

you are a step ahead of most excellent thinking let me know if it pans out lol

Have you ever been attacked by a house cat? Cats don’t fight fair.

I do that too! I’m such a fool. I keep hoping that this time maybe thing will be different and I can actually have a normal conversation about what the article I’m reading is actually about, but there’s always that one troll who inevitably gets every other trolls frothing at the mouth and what was once a funny…

Yep, I have the exact same frustration! Salary is such a moving target in your 20s/30s, and not as within your control as your savings rate.

But what would have done if the black teenagers were wearing Vineyard Vines because that would’ve been pretty disturbing.

I often see white parents with obviously adopted black children, I’d call the police but they’d probably arrest the kids.

Damn, and here I thought bringing this light skinned baby along to a high stakes park heist would have been the perfect cover.

Foiled again by these observant white people.

Yes.

I am calling my mom to see if she’ll adopt you so you can uncle my kids. That’s ok, isn’t my brother?

Its awesome! I’m the cool aunt my nieces and nephews run to when they can’t with my siblings anymore! My siblings know their kids are safe and the kids know I won’t pry or judge them.

What part of him wanting to be the cool uncle makes him creepy? Seriously, are you just looking for attention or is there a real reason in there that I’m somehow missing?

As the oldest of five and a guy who will likely be a Forever Alone, I like to think I would be that same uncle.

As the parent of a teenager, may I just say OH MY GOD I WISH YOU WERE HIS UNCLE
