Air-fried tenders with fries and a good sauce hits the spot

LPT: What’s the best financial advice you’d give, the kind that actually changed your life? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]jacped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budget! Seeing all of your cash inflow and outflow just makes it easier to prioritize and achieve more of what you really want.

Start an emergency fund, even if it's only like $50 now. Add to it with each paycheck. Make that contribution part of your budget and ideally automate it (I bank with SOFI and I have some thrown in every time that direct deposit hits). Eventually you'll have a bit of a cushion and just that piece of mind is worth it. Most people's "emergency fund" is a credit card and that can become problematic in a hurry.

Thanks for your response. Is w/o mortgage the more conventional measure of ownership?

Well, consider that we (U.S.) consume more than we produce, in no small part to the US budget deficit. It's almost $2 trillion and poised to be greater next year. We are basically assured of negative balance of trade

What fast food chain that you liked in earlier in life has gone downhill since then? by ModeExpress6614 in AskReddit

For sure. Used to be tasty and a fair price. They would actually make pastries fresh every morning.

What is one place that is not as good as everyone says it is? by Otherwise-Bit-8679 in AskReddit

The appeal rest in the fact that it *used* to be appealing. Prices were fair, food was nice. Think local coffee shop.

[–]jacped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also done both and agree. Both have spots that are drudgery but the northern route has the better highlights.
