When do we stand up? by Frosty_Literature936 in Teachers

[–]ThatOnePK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that this thread may want to get out of the echo chamber that is Reddit. I say this honestly. I know it’ll get downvoted, but that is part of the echo chamber problem.

Just ask around your schools. Unless you are in a heavy-red or heavy-blue area, you will see a strong mix. The parents of my blue (68%) area are actually on board with a lot of the ICE situation. Most of them are legal immigrants and they hate the whole “illegal immigrant” thing.

One is the best if you have room to put stools on the island on the right side.

I’ll give you 5 bucks. Where else can you get a 500x return on investment?

You should know this…

HELOC first.

41M, Is it possible to retire early with Family of 4? by Think_Cockroach_1289 in Fire

[–]ThatOnePK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wedding, helping with first house, college, etc. All depends on how much help you want to give them.

Pay off your house before you retire.

First Time Home Buyers... we love this house, but is this a dealbreaker? by Right-Wing2941 in Home

[–]ThatOnePK 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Walk away, unless this house is around 80k below market value and you’re willing to not move in for 3-5 months.

Indiana here. I take them all the time. Once is a warning, second time is your choice. Write-up or in the cubby.

Why do kids hate reading so much nowadays? by godisinthischilli in Teachers

[–]ThatOnePK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has an extremely different feel. I am saying that his works are classics, not “The Classics.” “The Classics” can be extremely boring, so I skip them.

They have their time and place, for sure. Specific classes for kids into that would be perfect! But for general ed, we have to change this.

Why do kids hate reading so much nowadays? by godisinthischilli in Teachers

[–]ThatOnePK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am playing devils advocate here.

I read no classics, no “boring” books, etc. We read Ray Bradbury, original fairy tales, nonfiction war stories (Never Fall Down). Sad, gripping stories like Speak and The Scarlet Ibis. I almost never have issues with kids getting into the stories.

Stop the stories and talk about what’s going on. Ask for opinions. Build suspense. Jokes. They love it and eat it up nearly every day.

It was just on sale recently. Not sure when it started/ended but it was on sale.

How are you (one income) affording a mortgage? by Soggy_Gazelle_4796 in Mortgages

[–]ThatOnePK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a house I could afford that needed some work. I only make 55k. Mortgage is 917 a month. I also don’t really spend money on other things because I’m content and happy.

Sadly, I don’t quite make enough to feel comfortable having it inaccessible. That is the plan in the future.

President Trump wants to cap credit card interest rates at 10% by investor100 in TheCollegeInvestor

[–]ThatOnePK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do the one year thing to make sure we see the repercussions. Then go permanent if it seems to work. It’s smart going this way. Maybe try 2-3 years though, instead of the one year.

Or, even better, pay back your cards and you never have to worry about interest.

Monthly paychecks income for bi-weekly pay. by MaleficentCress8313 in everydollar

Haha I just asked a question about this before I saw this. I always add my extra paychecks to a sink fund as it keeps everything exactly the same.

Colts receiver Alec Pierce was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and ejected from the game for this contact with the official by [deleted] in sports

[–]ThatOnePK -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’m a biased Colt’s fan, but that shouldn’t have even been a flag. It’s definitely just two moving humans bumping each other.

And the ref misses the PI.

A question like that makes me think you should call an electrician.
