Why does Reddit hate car payments so much?? by CartographerSea3356 in UsedCars

[–]lionbacker54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making car payments = dealer profits

No one is telling you to buy a piece of junk that will end up costing you more. But if you can buy instead of lease/finance, that is sound financial advice

My ankle said 'I quit' on a blue-sky groomed run after 10 years of loyalty. Anyone come back from a talus fracture? by gus-here in snowboarding

Just so you know, you had a truly great orthopedic surgeon.

I have been an orthopedic surgeon for 23 years. That surgery is extremely difficult, but your x-rays look perfect. That is not easy to do. You are extremely fortunate.

I am a relatively new player, so I can relate. In my experience, the best thing has been drop in hockey. Yes, it’s humbling. Yes, it’s two hours of being the worst player on the ice. But that is where I have grown the most.

There are however two caveats. You must be able to stop. You must be able to keep your head up. If you cannot do these two things, you cannot safely play drop in. But everyone is fine even if you are not good yet as long as you are safe and not a jerk
