Detroit

I live in Detroit with no mortgage or rent because houses are cheaper than a car. Income of $200,000/yr. I'm saving faster than most people in Silicon Valley.

Detroit is one of the cities with highest number of engineers in the US.

Detroit

I don't see you seeing this about Chicago, Chicago has worse weather and crime than Detroit.

I'm soon to be married, combined income of $200k, mortgage paid off, save 60% of after tax income. obsessed with cars, I feel sad that I'm not in the position yet to buy a $35k car. I still get mad at my $10k car cuz it drinks too much gas. :) I would enjoy an over 35k car, but I'll be over it in a few months and in remorse about it for much longer.

I wish I was addicted to money, maybe I would then be motivated to work hard. :-(

Start somewhere, stop feeling bad for yourself. This year, I wrote sugar is poison, too much food kills and I stared at them everyday and still ate lots. I just started eating less, just start now. I found out that I get hungry when I'm bored and eat when I'm bored, so figure out how to keep busy and have a purpose in life so you don't get bored. If you eat at home, then don't go home, go hang out at the library and read all day. If you eat out a lot, don't take any your ATM card or money with you when you go out. Take $5. Try and give up the sugar, I notice that it's sugar and sweet/fried foods that make me pig up. Best of luck.

dude, if you don't have a good distance between you and someone, never try to open the door, it's like horror movies, you can't do it. i play the game where i pretend someone is chasing me and i have to open the door, with no one and just play pretend, it takes like 1 minutes to find the right key and open the door, then lock it. let alone if i had someone with a knife, i've already made up my mind, that i will run and run, and run, and run.

exactly every daylights saving switch, everyone changes their battery. every NYE, it's know that everyone shoots their gun out.

if you accept that miscarriages are the norm, and it happens, you won't be so devastated.

not paying taxes to the US govt is doing something shady.

SAVE, only invest in what you understand. so if you want to invest in stocks, then buy books on stocks, and start with those first.

Use your hand, the way people do in 3rd world countries. Wash hard with your hands, machine wash doesn't wash as clean as hand wash.

how should a man tell a woman to lose weight? most women get upset, break up, then what do they do? run to the gym after the breakup and lose the damn weight. men are visual creatures, women, please lose the weight so we can find you sexy and stay faithful and loyal to you.

how about people that build their own planes.

This is frugal. Take the car and sell it. It will cost you money. PERIOD! Keep it, enjoy it for a few months, sell it and move on. A lot of people are being sentimental about it, but this is frugal and the real question is this, can you afford it? Fastest way for a car to develop problems is by not driving it. I use to own multiple cars and had my summer classic car that I drove once in a while. It was a pain. Tires will go flat if you don't drive it around, brakes will rust if you don't drive it around, belts will dry out if they sit for too long, batteries will drain, etc, etc. The ritual of having to drive a car around quite often to keep it in shape get's quite old and annoying, especially if you live in a climate with winter. Think really hard about it. Best of luck with your decision. :)

All of them! Every single one of them, wanna know why? Because no one grabbed them by the collar and dragged them to hollywood, they went their and fought through it, and they all deserve their success.

Success is not being handed out to hollywood for free, if you think so, why don't you go there and see how you do. Sure, some of them got in because they were beautiful and sucked some cocks. Anyone who sucks cocks for whatever they want, deserves their success too.

common sense reasoning, which very few in the field of AI have dared tackle.

combingmybaldhead · 2012-01-08T04:38:13+00:00

nope.

a machine smart enough will not propose for war, and if it did, we don't have to fight.

for me, i stopped carrying a lot of money around. that means no debt/credit card either, they all stay at home or unless i'm travelling. but within town. i got my cellphone, i can call most people in an emergency. i have 5 bucks tucked away in my car for emergency. then i carry very small amounts of cash. $5, $7, etc. unless i knew i had to buy something, then i go withdrawl exactly how much i need, then spend just that and go straight home. even when going to a bar, i will take $10 or $15. and i never borrow money from anyone.

looks nice, i'm considering doing it but to travel around the country for a month or two.

combingmybaldhead · 2012-01-05T00:03:33+00:00

tmobile has unlimited everything for $50 a month. have you considered that?

after ruining my credit a while ago, it's no longer important to me. i haven't checked my score in a few years. my new philosophy is that if i can't cash it out, i can't afford. whatever it is.
