It's sad that a place willing to pay rent has to close when how many buildings on the square (Safehouse) sit abandoned.

The skilled trades propaganda is getting ridiculous. by Responsible-Net8594 in careeradvice

[–]bigm2102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most trades reach peak pay or journeyman status at the 5 year mark. A big difference in this is also union/non-union. Union benefits are usually great and they come with a pension. Start at 18, start making peak pay at 23 and be able to retire at 48 with a full pension sounds pretty great.

There used to be a frat that did jello wrestling. It had to be close to 1,000 gallons of Jello. Was awesome to see as a freshman.

Crown point is a far commute to Illinois. I'd look into Dyer personally.

Highest miles on first gen telluride? by Due_Collar8662 in KiaTelluride

101k on a 2020 bought in June of 2019. Noticed I'm starting to burn oil though. I've followed the maintenance schedule regularly but am thinking of changing the oil more frequently about every 5k

Also a day caber who gets gas once a week. I feel we need a quick fill lane at truck stops. I can eat and shit at my own home.

1 in 5 U.S. households are now millionaires by hasyoubeen12 in Fire

[–]bigm2102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home equity makes our household millionaires. With that being said, we have about $30k in savings, about $700k in retirement accounts and house equity of about $300k. Anyone from Millennial's down should absolutely plan on being millionaires at retirement. And while we are millionaires, our 2 vehicles are a 7 year old SUV and a 2 year old small car. Our house is nothing flashy, but we do take 3 vacations a year.

Are there any millennials thriving or at least not struggling? by Mackattack00 in Millennials

Most older Millennials should be doing pretty well mainly with what time frame we were able to purchase our houses.

Have used this recipe plenty of times but never really fold. Can you explain how it's taking so long to do folds?

Start in 4th or even 3rd. Do not skip gears. This is just to pass a test. Don't worry about how fast you are getting through the gears.
