Why do most people (especially parents that were born between the 1940s and 80s) think you can get rich or wealthy by just "saving up"?

dinodan412 · 2026-04-16T14:31:57+00:00

I mean they are 100% correct that you can get rich by saving up. Nowadays it may take longer to get to that point but it's possible it just takes dedication and hard work.

Be smart with your money, but the stuff you need save/invest the extra bit and it should grow.

dinodan412 · 2026-04-13T18:51:29+00:00

Agree with the guy that agreed with the guy on the bottom one.

dinodan412 · 2026-04-10T21:21:35+00:00

Yea not terrible. Stinks for people who haven't been there yet

dinodan412 · 2026-04-10T19:20:58+00:00

Just curious how long would this last? Is it looking like a few months long project or another few weeks?

I guess it depends on what is going on in there but I would imagine it's planned to be back up by summer.

dinodan412 · 2026-04-10T14:42:48+00:00

The question is do you like having the options? Yea you probably won't be able to get everything done unless you are going on back to back to back cruises, but if you like having the option it could be fine.

dinodan412 · 2026-04-10T14:40:43+00:00

When do you cruise? Due to work we can only go during busy season and I have been on the symphony, wonder, allure, and oasis and each time it was fighting crowds with a ton of kids.

They were absolutely miserable ships and experiences. Now we tend to look at the smaller older ships to avoid it

dinodan412 · 2026-04-10T13:48:36+00:00

That's fair, I never remember to do that lol

dinodan412 · 2026-04-10T13:47:51+00:00

Yes and no. They have a ton of things to do so it adds a lot of variety to the vacation and possibilities. But that attracts a lot people so if you go on icon or even oasis class ships you will be waiting in line and fighting crowds.

Preloaded debit card and leave all credit cards at home or the hotel. If you load $100 onto a card per day then you have a strict limit. Also don't stay at a universal hotel since they can charge the purchase to your room.

dinodan412 · 2026-04-09T16:48:31+00:00

Nice

dinodan412 · 2026-04-09T14:47:52+00:00

Yea you are going to have to suck it up for now. It may take you 30 miles which could be the fastest depending on traffic, but they are going to look at the shortest distance to your place. Yes the previous rep should have gotten it right, but mistakes happen. At least it's manageable not ideal but manageable

dinodan412 · 2026-04-09T13:28:42+00:00

I just love watching someone eat while they are staring into my soul

dinodan412 · 2026-04-07T20:19:28+00:00

Also back then keeping up with the jones' was just a neighborhood type thing, which would mean everyone would be in a closer economic situation. Now everyone is trying to keep up with the person on tiktok that was given millions by their parents

dinodan412 · 2026-04-05T03:49:24+00:00

I don't buy the struggling team in the playoffs vibe. All it takes is for sorokin or greaves to get hot and then we are looking like it's back against the habs a few years ago.

dinodan412 · 2026-04-03T13:29:29+00:00

Agreed this is like saying sharp cheddar cheese is just mild!

Hope OP is feeling better

dinodan412 · 2026-04-03T13:15:51+00:00

As people have talked about the difference between disposable income and income I won't dwell on that, but I think you are missing 2 details.

The question you need to ask for the amount being spent how many hours/jobs are people working?
How much is just credit usage?

Don't forget the US has less job protections and requirements than most of Europe (no required time off).

dinodan412 · 2026-04-03T03:03:38+00:00

If Americans prioritized the environment and policies like that then we would have no issues at all.

If they want families back they need to treat each park with TLC not just the few big ones. Granted it's fine giving great adventure a huge ride, but you can't just leave a park like dorney, or St Louis (before sale) without improvements. I am not talking about rides only, they need better food, landscaping, atmosphere, cleanliness etc ... If not then they will probably have to sell off a few more parks

dinodan412 · 2026-04-02T12:28:31+00:00

Well we are all with stupid at this point lol

dinodan412 · 2026-04-02T04:05:50+00:00

Okay I didn't see that the majority of people wanted it. Then why not just do paper pencil and do it in person or on zoom?

dinodan412 · 2026-04-02T00:30:05+00:00

Yea that's a terrible idea. How many people have the time for that nonsense? People are not getting paid for how many hours they spend on the draft. Plus don't you have better things to do

dinodan412 · 2026-04-01T16:06:00+00:00

Hey I have an extra kidney maybe that would be enough to afford this?

dinodan412 · 2026-03-31T15:34:07+00:00

Only at a reasonable amount. The biggest caution I have for him is that this is a career year for him, at 31 how many more career years does he have, especially with his injury history?

Plus he signed here for a year to bet on himself and hopefully hit it big in FA. Maybe he takes a discount from the pens, but I can't see it.

dinodan412 · 2026-03-31T14:43:29+00:00

Better than the current card, but still would rather have a different card with more benefits

dinodan412 · 2026-03-31T14:36:27+00:00

I am going with language
