New-to-them I mean, but yes, I agree. New cars depreciate stupidly quick.

PLEASE one downvoter, explain to me how such a statement deserves a downvote?

Down voting because this sort of complaint is cringe. Wear down votes with pride and don't comment on them.

I think people should consider an EV when it comes time for them to buy a new car.

Could’ve sworn I saw a remote role posted for Grindr lol, maybe it was a month ago though.

JackbyDev OP , 9 months ago to Do It Yourself in How can I keep dust out of an unfinished basement? Or at least off of a specific area and table?

Thanks for the advice!

I’ve been curious about getting a CO2 monitor after I heard that excess CO2 in rooms cause your brain to get dumber. I can’t think of what to call it, maybe the CO2 talking.

(And just to be clear, I’m talking about CO2, not CO, we have a CO alarm.)

JackbyDev OP , 9 months ago to Do It Yourself in How can I keep dust out of an unfinished basement? Or at least off of a specific area and table?

Yes, I do have bare concrete walls and floor. That’s crazy, I never would’ve thought they “shed” dust or anything.

For a haunted house a few years ago we put painters tarp on the unfinished walls so they’re somewhat partitioned, but not air tight or anything (or I guess “dust tight”) but depending on how it works I could easily seal off one of the rooms since it is already pretty sealed. Would I need to cover the floor and walls as well?

The report, which was published by researchers at the Becker Friedman Institute for Economics at the University of Chicago, found that borrowers who paused their debt payments “sharply increased mortgage, auto and credit card borrowing,” compared to those who continued paying their loans.

JackbyDev , 10 months ago to Personal Finance in Do you use a credit card? Why or why not?

They’re not moving the goal posts from good debt to own vs rent, the reason a mortgage is good debt to have is because it is better than renting. Consider taking out a loan for something that has zero benefit, like a statue or yourself or something stupid. That’s bad debt because it provides no benefit. Being in a home builds equity. Your putting your money into a 30 year hole very slowly but it’s better than a bottomless pit.

Ramsey told folks to keep making payments on student loans when the payments and interest were paused. He does not give sound financial advice.

Wow, so two of those children were kidnapped specifically because of the demand generated by the sting and then they got dumped out a week later from the shelter presumably back onto the streets.

Yes, sign up for a library. You can get digital books even if you can’t physically go.
