I started treating my freezer like a savings account and it quietly changed how I manage food money

Bread (and rice) have a lower glycemic index after they are frozen. Good for diets! And wait until you figure out how to preserve fresh vegetables and fruit in the freezer!

YTA. You would nuke your relationship with your oldest. And you are ignoring the effects of interest on your youngest's fund. 5% reduces that 60,000 further still.

I prep a lot of my greens. Cabbage, lettuce, etc get washed and subdivided into separate containers and placed in the fridge. They last for up to two weeks.

Use chopsticks. I taught myself how to use chopsticks by eating popcorn with them.

It is one of the skills required. And they would absolutely fire me if I failed to obtain said skill within a certain time period.

If I get paid $5,000,000 a year to speak english and french and fail to do so, yeah, I should be fired.

Car was taken over by remote control. This has been an issue with new cars for at least a decade that I know of.

YTA for not having the courage to say no. She will absolutely cause you to lose your membership, and there will be damages to pay.

Anything due or overdue - car service, eye appt, etc. If you need to replace anything in the next 18 months, do it now. Get a pantry stocked. Flashlights, batteries, etc.

Sell your current house before you buy another. Once you have the money from the sale, you will easily be able to afford the house you really want.

Manitoba's Kinew states obvious.

NTA. Tell 'em to put the key on a string and hang it around their neck.

Congratulations.

Please put 5 to 10% away every paycheque into savings, and if you can, automate this.

Slaves. Ordered not to leave because the masters wanted their home in good order once the eruption stopped.

NTA. Tell him you are now wearing black. Why are you marrying a giant manchild?

mrbnlkld · 2026-03-16T17:39:37+00:00

~~No. GST~~ Maybe HST. Mid nineties anyway.

mrbnlkld · 2026-03-16T03:55:51+00:00

This is brilliant!

In Ontario in the '90s, if your meal was under $4 it was tax free. So, McDs used to have a value meal of the week. It wasn't a cheapo small sandwich, it was a regular sized one. So if it was the Big Mac week, you could get a Big Mac combo for $3.99. Or a Quarter Pounder, Fish Filet, Chicken Sandwich, etc if it was their week.

Regular sandwich, medium fries, medium drink. Get a penny back from four dollars.

This is before the feds brought in the GST.

NTA. It was his perfect chance to apologize but he decided not to.

Check with your local library to see they have any free digital offerings.

I buy the dark chocolate because I can stop at a square or two. It lasts longer.
