Tandybaum , to Personal Finance in Retirement plan derailed: Will you be among the 40% forced to stop working earlier than expected?

I guess that number makes since to me. Seems like there would be a good bit that have to retire at 52 due to health issues and another bit that works till 74. With average average being 65-67 I would say 61 sound about right.

Tandybaum OP , to Home Improvement in My AC drain gets clogged every so often. Any trips for a more permanent fix?

Pretty good other than I could probably be a little more diligent with my filter changes. I do it monthly(ish)

condensate cleaner (less harmful to the plastic than bleach)

Do you have a brand or version (looks like there is liquid and tablet) you’d recommend? I think it’s a good idea to start with this monthly.

I actually have one but it’s sitting in the water heater pan 1 foot away… I’ll get a second one right now.

What’s causing the clog?

The clog is “gunk” but I’m not sure what is actually causing it.

When I hit it with the shop vac I can hear it clearing a blockage of MISC gunk.

My shit is pretty old and there isn’t a float switch. We’re planning on a full replacement next year so maybe this is the answer.

There is an opening… I might start this. Change the filters and feed it some bleach

Tandybaum , to Men's Liberation in Wear pink but don’t cry - "Men under 25 are less likely than their elders to feel comfortable hugging another man or weeping in front of them. What happened?"

I’m old at this point (39) so I’m not going to pretend to really know the thoughts of young dudes. However, I still feel “strong and stoic” is still the societal and possibly more important dating scene preference.

I think society and women still do outwardly show a preference for a strong and a “tough it out” man. Even if it’s not fully true I still think it’s true enough for young men to see it and think that is what will get them a partner.

It’s for sure better than it was 20 years ago and FOR SURE better than 40 years ago. Just saying that I still think were pretty far from the finish line.

Tandybaum , to Personal Finance in High yield savings, money markets, CDs, or T bills?

I was super into chasing the highest possible saving accounts. I’ve always used this link when I was shopping.

I’ll say that it can be great to get a little higher % but there is also value in keep it simple. I think at my worst I had 7 entirely separate savings accounts (not counting checking or investing). I now have 2 and I’ll probably merge them in the next few months.

It would be good for you to consider your limits on what you’ll chase. If you find account that will give you an extra 0.1% it doesn’t make since to change but 2% likely does. However, if it’s 2% higher but it has a $500 limit maybe that doesn’t make since.

I’m now mainly using Ally and I really do like their bucket system.

Tandybaum , to Men's Liberation in Fellas, Is It “Unmanly” to Post a Lot? We call it the “frequent-posting femininity stereotype,” and it’s measurable.

I’ve never thought about it but I think I have this bias. It’s something I’ll try and think on and correct because it’s dumb.

If someone was describing their friend that posts to Instagram 20 times a day I would 100% picture a woman. If they told me it was a dude it would have bumped me a little.

It’s probably tied to that old (incorrect) thought that women talk more than men.

Tandybaum , to Home Improvement in How do people afford the upfront cost of solar?

Dude, there is a guy in town that has an RV.

It is a dimmable fixture. I made sure on that as I’ve run into that problem before.
