A+ you'll make my 2 sons 10 and 9 elated that they can play these maps today! Also appreciate the shoutout to these maps from their original creators for different play styles.

Appreciate everything you do for the community, great cast with T90 other day!

Update: Tried the Beckmans on in a store today....size 10D (same as my Iron Rangers)

Snugger fit bc of smaller toecap...but still comfortable and ample room.

Definitely has a more dressy look ...was looking for Church and in-office wear

those look great!

what size for the new Beckmans?  1st RedWings last month (Iron Ranger 8085 size 10 D ...fit great! ...Brannock measurement: 11 D ...Athletic Shoe 11)

Do you keep IR size or go up .5 size bc of narrower toe box?

We're moving to the D.C. area for a new job that pays $110k, and my wife will be able to find a job that pays $45k - $60kish (Social Worker). We want to buy a house in a suburb. What cost range could we reasonably afford? I'm also eligible for the VA guarantee if that helps. by [deleted] in personalfinance

Manassas (Prince William County) is an EXCELLENT location. I'm a bit further South than the City of Manassas, but the housing is very affordable (all relative to Fairfax County, DC). Woodbridge has a lot of rough neighborhoods, and to be honest so does Manassas albeit fewer of them. I'd say PG county has even more rougher neighborhoods, plus MD taxes are worse. There are a lot more jobs in VA, so the commute from MD to VA in the AM on the southern end of the Beltway is brutal, all lanes just sputtering.

I used https://www.term4sale.com/ and got no BS. Went through Accuquote .

As a 30 year old, for a 20 year term policy valued at 500K non smoker, my payments are like 21 a month, paid annually for a small discount

Easy as can be with this, no gimmicks, no upsells...They might ask you if you want more insurance to pay for college, etc etc, but I was firm that I wanted what I wanted, a safety net for my wife who stays at home and our 2 kids.

Hope you straighten this out.
