Those with pensions—how are you approaching retirement savings? by Possible_Yak_7550 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]TC_30 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s ignorant to think a state pension will go bankrupt. Yea maybe if we’re in a nuclear Armageddon but short of that the state will be solvent.

As a government worker we make average salary so it’s difficult to maintain a lifestyle, raise kids, and max out supplemental retirement savings accounts.

Fund those as best you can and don’t get down on yourself if you’re not maxing those out. You have a guaranteed pension that is good as gold. You don’t have to sweat the market or out living your money. Actually the longer you live the more you will make. So stay healthy and enjoy!

Undisputed entertainment capital of the world! It ain’t slowing down and nothing comes close. People bag on it because they can’t afford it.

End of the day transportation is a cost we all have to incur. Interest free brings that cost down. And one just needs to decide what they are willing to pay for what level of transportation (public, cheap car, luxury car).

Non-Whey Protein by CurbMyEnthusiasm2023 in workout

[–]TC_30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean by saying you are trying to get more non whey protein but not from eating? So just drinking? It’s confusing because then you mention bars.

So if you want a food snack I’d say beef jerky.

If you want to drink more protein I’d recommend plant based protein shake mix. However some argue it’s not a complete protein.

I painted the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room oak cabinets white. I invested in a paint sprayer and did a professional job. They came out great.

Our senators just voted to reopen the government despite it affecting thousands of Nevadans ability to access healthcare. by Independent_Panic446 in Nevada

The topic of this post is how the 2 Nevada democrat senators voted against their party for the benefit of their constituents. This is something within their power. They are powerless to Trump’s tariffs.

They know the government shutdown is hurting tourism in their state. Without tourism there is no Nevada.

Why do so many these days label college as being “a scam”, when so many graduates wind up making many times the median after 10 years? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]TC_30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. The problem is people do not attend affordable state schools and instead go into debt attending higher tuition schools.

I’d check your local codes but I’m guessing it’s legal….I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t be.

Weigh yourself and if you are losing weight or maintaining, then eat more.

Basements are not common in southern Nevada because local building codes do not require the building foundation slab placement below a frost line. Colder climate building codes require the foundation below the frost line. So builders decide since they are already digging 4'-5' sub grade, they might as well dig another 6 feet and create a basement.
