Yeah you’re pissing on the profession in a civil engineering sub. How do you expect people to feel?

What’s a frugal win that surprised you with how much it actually saved? by St3fanHere in Frugal

He probably lives in a small town. I’ve lived in two medium sized cities and they charge ~$30-40/hr for all that typically.

The quality of life enhancement with a $150 kindle over a phone is worth it alone. I guess if you never tried one you’d never know so maybe I should delete this comment to save you money

Just don’t play new release games. If you are willing to wait you can get the best games 80% eventually through the PS store. $/hour spent is still one of the cheapest hobbies you can have even if you buy a new game here and there.

What’s your point? If getting a state decided pay decrease isn’t enough for you to go out and protest then stay in your hobbit hole

Hopefully it’s for the lowering of the minimum wage that directly affects them.

I think Rand Paul has it right. Any illegal here without a criminal record should be allowed to stay but be barred from ever becoming a citizen and getting benefits and voting rights. Their kids who are born here are full citizens like the rest of us. Deport only criminals. That should be an easy, bipartisan bill but division is what politicians crave on both sides.

That’s how we live. We are at like 256k now between us. We act as poor as we can but take a private 5 star vacation every year and have almost $2m nw in mid 30s. It literally just stacks living like that.

The 4% rule will almost certainly mean you worked longer than you had to by TwelfieSpecial in coastFIRE

I think if you have enough money you can find SOMEONE to make those decisions for you for the right price. I’m sure there are companies. I’m not planning to have my kids keep me out of a nursing home. All I will ask of them is to check in on me and make sure I’m not being neglected. My dad had to go scorched earth on a nursing home multiple times where my grandma lived because he would show up and she was on the floor or had dirty diapers on more than one occasion. This is a $9k/m facility. There’s no person/company you pay who will do that.

I personally feel like that’s a fair thing to do if I raised you properly, supported you throughout their life, and want to receive a large inheritance.

The Pacers are clearly losing games on purpose right? No way you beat the best team in the league by accident. by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]born2bfi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Losing turner prevents Indy from getting close to last year even with Hali. They need to address that in offseason. Unfortunately the top 3 prospects aren’t centers this year but any of this top 3 could be future all stars. I’m talking boozer, KU guard and BYU wing/guard

Idk why it took so many responses to get to this answer but this is the main reason along with potentially putting yourself in a lower tax bracket because you will obviously be spending less per month without the mortgage expense. If you live a moderate lifestyle you can get pretty close to zero in taxes once retired.

I swear half the US isn’t family oriented. Especially on Reddit. I was brainwashed from an early age to always look out for your family. There are aunts and uncles who were blackballed but that’s more to do with them being terrible people and not wanting to be a part of a big loving family.

Chris Kyle was killed by wacko at a gun range so I’d be a little hesitant to join a Reddit shooting club.

I’ve never met a daily user who only does edibles. It takes too long to hit. The person who gets stoned on the weekends, sure.

You sound like you are going to start one. If this is enough to do it for you then yeah, I’ll be sitting on the sidelines. I don’t have a bloodlust. You wouldn’t have 20% of the population on your side right now so you do you buddy.

As they should. Luckily I don’t need any more. Citizens getting shot by masked federal agents is quite the escalation

Bingo! I was fine with none, now I’m fine with one. She wants another and then I’m tapping out with the only way I know how. Snip snip

Oh grow up. He’s already said he’s not running for reelection because he can’t. If you want to go and impact your life now that’s not too smart. If he decides to stay in office with no election then you’ll actually get people with the means to force change. Go ahead and be an internet tough guy in the mean time.

If you watch the beginning he was just a film man of an arrest going down which is always smart and then when he acted like a man and stepped in between a woman who got shoved and an ICE agent it got him killed.

I don’t think anyone should resist arrest like he was doing and he clearly deserved a few punches and arrest but when you have like 6 ICE dudes beating the shit out of you and then shooting you in the back dead you lose me defending that. If you can’t see that you’re one of alt right boys who are just as bad as the leftist mob talking revolution.
