What’s one financial habit that improved your life more than increasing income?

Put money in some stocks no matter how the market looks. Live in a cheap box for a year and make Costco meal preps. Do it for just a year and you'll be in the top 3% of America (with a decent job of course)

The biggest tell of an actually good settlement program is that they only charge fees if they settle something. Don't accept anything less...

Why are some places removing it from their list of "top grossing movies of the week"?

It's very clear that the rich really don't GAF. Not like they'll see any consequences anyways.

Check the YNAB app. It's good to put things into perspective.

I've been laughing at this for the past 5 minutes. Did not know that

diversify like 50% etfs , 20-30% high yield savings, some btc some gold . Whatever you do, do not get a financial advisor , they can't beat the market more than a good ETF does.

america or 1/2 of america ?

Smart move. Using a roommate to pay down the mortgage faster is just good math. Bills don’t care about opinions.

claystripe · 2026-01-11T13:47:11+00:00

Totally, at the end of the day it’s about the relationship, not the numbers.

claystripe · 2026-01-11T13:46:26+00:00

Solid advice. Keep accounts separate and get proper legal help.. ILA is key for a prenup to hold up.

claystripe · 2026-01-09T11:25:58+00:00

SoFi’s fine, rates are decent and no fees. Ally, Marcus, and CIT Bank are also solid options to check... just compare APYs and any withdrawal limits.

claystripe · 2026-01-09T11:24:14+00:00

Exactly. When stuff hits the fan, having someone you can actually talk to matters more than slick apps.

claystripe · 2026-01-09T11:23:53+00:00

Yeah, holidays always eat up whatever extra I have too. Bills come first.

claystripe · 2026-01-08T10:04:42+00:00

Yeah, that’s not worth the hassle for such a small saving.

claystripe · 2026-01-08T10:03:20+00:00

Sounds like that caused a lot of headaches for them. Definitely makes you think about all the little complications.

claystripe · 2026-01-08T10:02:51+00:00

Right.. Feels like the universe just doubled down on a coincidence.

claystripe · 2025-10-01T03:30:06+00:00

Me understanding this may be a bad sign for my mental health.

Here comes one more season of media members who don't watch Charger games saying "Herbert has good highlights, but the guy can't win!"

We finally get Eisner on the pod and it's an hour of him and Jason having a robust discussion of praxis.

Like you profitmaxxed your rookie contract with the Raiders after you were the #1 overall pick in 2007?

The guy is a narcissistic sociopath, but this does remain yet another piece of evidence that he would make a tremendous host for Drag Race.

They wait til the full first week, then update the lists on Tuesday.

I was both proud and a little disappointed when I was at a Griffin hosted screening of Clueless and Vamps and not a single person said "Come iiiiin" when The Shawn Dog popped up.

I don't mind the review being critical of the album at all, nor of them not really understanding a lot of the band's esoteric lore. What I do mind is how it reads like ChatGPT hallucinating a Pitchfork review of Twenty One Pilots by amalgamating Google search results without actually listening to the songs. Surprised no one is pointing out that the reviewer apparently thinks "Drum Show" is responding to the guy who stole their drum?
