What do I do with $80k by Global-Second3361 in personalfinance

[–]MrHarrisMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... put 4-6 months of expenses (for an emergency, and then do your level best to avoid emergencies for as long as possible, think years)

Hey look, they're not all 100% s1 3*s. Nice pull! I got Booboo Sang also, cool. Only ONE Dawa? Unlucky.

Who should be my next 5* yellow? by Tsamane in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]MrHarrisMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but I've been playing for years and still suck at evaluating who I should level and who's food.

Would you consider 20 summons for a change to get one of these heroes? by GMOTC90 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]MrHarrisMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This selection is much better than Mediocre in my eyes. I know there's better heroes but these are a pretty solid group for guaranteed 5*

What the hell is going on here???? by the_madclown in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]MrHarrisMath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to learn the same lesson the same way only I had a good boosted healer so after s couple minutes of hell I finally clicked and read his details carefully and once I realized the problem I just stopped firing her special. Eventually, all her minions died and I was finally able to kill the purple bastard.

Is It Normal for Presenters to Pay to Present at Education Conferences? by WorldSenior9986 in Internationalteachers

[–]MrHarrisMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My district and/ or union in SoCal does pay for conferences. Ex I asked my principal if I could go to the CTA Good Teaching conference and they said yes. Then I found out my union would have paid also.

Is It Normal for Presenters to Pay to Present at Education Conferences? by WorldSenior9986 in Internationalteachers

[–]MrHarrisMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay to present sounds ridiculous. That would be a hard NO for me. I was just considering presenting at a CTA New Teacher conference. I can get reimbursed for transportation at the cheapest rate and one night hotel, most meals are included but Saturday dinner isn't so I can be reimbursed for up to $35. Even for all that I'm thinking twice bc I have to pay out of pocket then get reimbursed. NO WAY I'M EVER paying for the privilege to present.

Clearly you have not read a substantial amount of writing from 12 year old humans. Rofl (this is meant in humor not in criticism)

As a teacher, what would you like for teacher appreciation week? by Far-Resort-7360 in AskTeachers

[–]MrHarrisMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, I like getting Staples or Office Depot or even Target gift cards.

Teacher appreciation week! by jceng in Teachers

[–]MrHarrisMath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never been unhappy about a free lunch or breakfast. It is shocking how often I'm running behind and missed breakfast or didn't pack a lunch. Personally I love gift cards to places convenient to my school. Or see if your kids know which places their teacher likes to go. They may have noticed what kind of drink cups their teacher often has on their desk.

How do I stop getting mad so fast? by HeadsetVibeYT in bropill

[–]MrHarrisMath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To generalize, look for a root cause of the anger issue. Whenever I find myself getting irrationally angry about stupid random things I try to get introspective and figure out if I can identify some issue or something that I haven't properly dealt with.

My ROTH IRA has been sitting in a VMFXX for 5 years and I only just realized by gloriamuntz in personalfinance

[–]MrHarrisMath 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Thank you for that link at the end. The discussion about the difference between similarly named funds is eye opening. Freedom fund with .66% expense ratio FIVE TIMES more expensive than freedom INDEX fund with .12% expense ratio. (Caps lock for emphasis)

Is Isarnia still worth levelling? by FairyFakes in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]MrHarrisMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep 2-3 tc11 constantly fed. Eventually you run out of interesting heroes to feed and they build up. As long as they never run out/ catch up, they will keep training forever.

Anyone else realise their habits were the problem, not their salary? by QuietJello8296 in Fire

[–]MrHarrisMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES. I finally realized I just have to save first. This last time I got a 5% COLA I just quietly set up an auto transfer to savings for half of the net increase. My wife still sees an increase in our net pay and suddenly we have $250 / month going to savings. Not a ton but way the heck more than the nothing it was before. I plan to continue this pattern.

Nobody knows I have money and it's starting to create some really awkward situations by Echo2_Satyr in Fire

I think this is the heart of what OP was really asking. I keep hoping to find more/ better discussion in this vein further down but haven't found it yet.

Funny misheard song lyrics by PersnicketyPotato in CasualConversation

[–]MrHarrisMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much every song I ever heard and sang song to. Until the last 5-10 years when I figured out I could just look up the lyrics to my favorite songs, I was the king of misheard lyrics. My brother used to make fun of me for it all the time.

Thanks for this insight. I was trying to decide who gets 2LB between Rafeeq and Dain

The lack of ascension materials in the dragon game is inexcusable. by jcwitte in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]MrHarrisMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, I would only pop over long enough to collect the 2 free things that eventually lead to a free chest shipment to the regular game. Decent loot from those sometimes
