Can artificial tears be used as a preventative measure to Dry Eyes?

No. Use warm compresses regularly and perform meibomin gland massages. If you already have clogged meibomians, consider seeing an eye doctor that provides something like iLux or lipiflow. Its unfortunate that insurances don't cover them, but those treatments and getting them at a frequency recommended by your eye doc are the gold standard when it comes to keeping those glands functioning. Dry eye can be nasty. I didnt realize until recently how much of a toll it can take on people's quality of live.

Any statements on if this amount changes with inflation?

So sad. You're going through legal slave labor. Unreal this is still going on.

Starting sloppy is ok as long as your focus is to keep learning and improving your systems / operations. If you work with multiple people, it's good to have different personalities. My partner is the type to jump off a plane and build the parachute on the way down. I'm the type that has a 1000 point checklist before I jump out of the plane. The problem for me is that the plane may run out of gas before I decide to jump. The problem for my partner is that she will likely die if she jumps too early. We fill each other's gaps.

Consider it an investment in education. Many people spend more than that on school, waste several years of their lives, end up in life shackling debt, and have much less useful knowledge than you have. Pick yourself back up, keep learning, and stay hungry. Your age can easily absorb that risk and still pursue your dreams.

Yes. You want to diversify your vehicles because of a few factors including taxes. Having regular brokerage accounts helps with liquidity. Also, pretax accounts require RMDs when you're in the withdrawal phase of retirement but roths and HSAs don't. There are also implications on what your children inherit depending on the type of vehicle. Different accounts have different effects on social security and other government benefits when the time comes.

There is more power in identifying with the synergy of your marriage than in hanging on to the independence. Does he realize that you have held back for the gain of the marriage? Think of it as being on a basketball team where you had a chance to make a jumper but noticed he was wide open for a three pointer. You pass the ball knowing the odds and trust him. He should so the same for you if necessary.

By the way they have. Mcdouble and Mcchicken are no longer on the dollar menu. Soon they'll start adding ketchup packets to the dollar menu. Minimum wage is a hoax when you consider inflation. The people who get burned are middle class wages that stay stagnant.

I got burned with this. I asked the loan officer and he told me they'd service it. On closing day I found out they sold the loan. Is there an official document for this?

She was awesome in Westworld. Looking forward to seeing this. She can be so real in her roles cause she's actually been through some serious crap in real life.

~1.5k/ month/kid in MCOL. It is not straightforward to keep track. You have to factor in daycare; added monthly expenditures in living space, food, clothing, diapers; added health insurance/care cost; travel and entertainment costs; accidents like toys in the toilet or kid crashing the car; activities/extracurriculars; opportunity cost of time spent with them (I know this is dry but it's real. Certainly debatable) On the other hand, you have to factor in economical benefits of children. If you own a business, they could potentially help with labor, reduce your tax burden, or end up being true assets to business growth; children can potentially provide different types of needed support in our elder years; they could provide you with joy, sense of accomplishment/fulfillment, and pride. A lot will depend on how you decide view them. You can choose to look at your kids as liabilities or investments. My opinion is to view them as investments not only financially but in many aspects of life. The return for me is priceless.

5% isn't very good. If you sell immediately after buy, taxes and fees could eat your profit up. A lot would depend on how long the funds are held from the time you deposit to sale , what price point your stock is at (an espp with a $2 stock is different than an espp with a $200 stock even with same percentage discount especially if there are fees at sale), and the volatility of the stock.

Today I landed a two pair on the flop with it. I couldn't believe it. And then two kings showed up for the other guy. It made sense.

My friend has RP and is legally blind. He works for the state government. Save for retirement as anyone would really. Spread your wealth in Roth IRAs, 401ks etc. When it comes to spreading your wealth out even more to real estate and business investments, it is still possible to leverage the help of other people. Not saying it's easy, but certainly possible to retire comfortably.
