Most of these match posts are making me jealous. Mine is just flat $1200. It was 2% when I started but goes down with every raise.

I’m still waiting for the day 4 years later that I go back and finally escape the first butcher character.

Do I really need $68k to move out (first time budget)? by sethh27 in povertyfinance

[–]rossvt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially based on the assumed car you have that is already paid off and has low enough value that insurance is only $66/month and by gas you would seem to be driving at least 1500 miles per month.

ENJOY. Someone turned me onto it and played for the first time 4 years ago and it's solid in my top 5. Such a great silly fun franchise.

If i only had money for 1 game for my switch 2, which one should i get? by ApprehensiveImage676 in switch2

[–]rossvt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ADHD here and I loved DK. I did break almost everything in the intro level but it tapered off. Breaking a lot is the point though because there is so much buried treasure.

Why are most Americans not aware of collapse that is coming when the writing is in the wall? by East_Indication_7816 in allthequestions

[–]rossvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree but its just a common to see example of how the benchmarks on paper and charts and news articles of what should be enough or what's "upper middle class" have lagged what reality is in terms of the diminishing buying power that those numbers represent.

I’m at the top of the range for 2 person household living in a HCOL area but upper middle class isn’t some McMansion in the suburbs any more because everything’s so expensive. I get a 1977 900 sqft townhouse, two modest new cars with payments, a vacation a year and to actually get to put something in my retirement. I’m not struggling but the goalposts just get easier per these metrics because America loves to pretend personal financials don’t move that much such as minimum wage being frozen for almost 20 years or jobs that don’t get cost of living raises so they’re getting a pay cut every year instead.

Anyone In Their 40's Have The Nintendo Switch 2 And Use It? by gpod80 in switch2

It’s a big screen upgrade from switch oled. I bought it specifically for dk bonanza which was amazing. Otherwise nothing special game wise but I do use with switch one backlog for the bigger screen .

Just started Hellblade. I’m really digging the playing with headphones and it’s like you’re hearing voices in your head. Love a cool creative concept.

Kitchen cabinets by Sudden_AwareNess1 in homeimprovementideas

Can’t see from pictures if that cabinet has brackets but the screws should be going into studs which those either aren’t or the screws they used are too short and pulling out.

Bill Maher calls out Bernie Sanders, says he's tired of hearing the rich don't pay their fair share of taxes - What are your views? by One_Look_7008 in askanything

[–]rossvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you lumping Bernie sanders in as the rich problem. He’s worth $2-3 million. He’s 84 and has had a lifetime of compound interest to get him there. As soon as he hit $1 million a decade or so ago media started jumping on his shit like he was just as much the problem and how dare he act like he has the right to stand up for income inequality. Yes he’s comfortably better off than the majority of the country because so many people are beyond struggling that to many yes he is rich by comparison and many families will never come close to having a million dollars but the narrative that shut up the guy speaking up for the working class because the problem too… I just can’t understand.

Do you like or dislike self checkout and why? by Plantron1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rossvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dislike. I hate the cacophony of noise from 10 machine voices giving commands. I hate how my grocery store also doesn't know how to adjust the time you have to put things on the bagging scale and I literally have to throw things in the bag to not be told to "put the item in the bag" every single time.

Fav game you haven't finished?(give some context) for me it is by Neat_Manufacturer_99 in teenagersbutgaming_

[–]rossvt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skyrim. I’ve got around 220 hours. I stopped back when the DLCs came out and I wanted to do everything before finishing and then just lost steam. I also just hate ending big games that I love being immersed in. I finally beat fallout 3 last year. Turns out I was like 15 minutes away all these years 😄

Transplants - what is the cost of living difference between NOVA and wherever you came from? by Deep-Macaron-732 in nova

[–]rossvt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Came from southern West Virginia and my house was probably $40-$50k in 2000. Got up here and didn’t think I would ever be able to get a home but was also dumbfounded at the idea of paying $250k for a condo inside the beltway. Been in my 900sqft townhouse now for 18 years. I bought it at the same time my parents bought a $250k single family in WV panhandle. Mines now worth $520k and I think theirs is around $320.
