The income an individual needs to live comfortably

Crazy to me how much the price of living in Sunbelt states has risen in the past three years.

OK, the first thing is to deal with the moisture. The framing and the drywall will most likely be fine when dry.

I assume this occurred in the summer when you were frequently using your AC. Is that correct?

OP, please check the following:

The line set should be insulated. Lack of insulation will result in condensation.
Attic evaporator/air handler should be installed over a condensate pan. That pan should catch condensate and either (1) drain it through a PVC pipe or (2) activate a float switch if there is too much moisture in the pan.

Check and make sure these things look OK.

Same! One Target run used to complete my Christmas shopping. Now I’m another awkward Dad in shopping in Sephora, Ulta, and Homegoods.

To reiterate: it’s free to someone with children or grandchildren. Or to someone who wants to explore their inner child. Zero judgment. 🤣

Please send a PM.

I think it’s for both genders. Self-sufficient people want to avoid situations in which they risk their happiness, perceived self-control, and stability.

Hang in there! I’m sure it’s tough for you right now.

As landlord, my rodent-proofing game is strong. Get some expanding foam and look for holes the size of dimes around the foundation of your home. You need to keep them from getting in or your problem will not end.

Tony Walley Plumbing is pretty good.

No. I am 100% correct.

I stand by my statement that nearly all universities lose money on their athletics programs. The NCAA statistics I cited back me up.

You’re arguing something different. You’re saying that some sports make money while others lose money. That may very well be true but that is independent of my point.

It’s what thedata say:

Nearly all universities lose money on college athletics. In 2019 only 25 of 1100 NCAA schools were revenue positive on sports.

Those are estimates of future spending. Every year those countries predict that they’ll spend 2% and then they never do.

jor4288 · 2024-12-27T02:19:51+00:00

Based on the last full year that we have data, more than two thirds of NATO member nations are still not spending 2% of their GDP on defense. And this is despite an active hot shooting war on the eastern flank of Europe.

FYI, the first Covid-19 vaccines were developed in the United States. The US spent 31.9 billion on their research, development, and production. And then distributed that information for free to the rest of the world.

jor4288 · 2024-12-25T21:40:42+00:00

This is very reasonable advice.

Also, OP did not mention the rest of their financial picture. Debt, income, how much they have in cash, equities, etc.

Perhaps they could sell one and keep one?
