That one touching display of love/commitment that he had heart to help your mom beyond the grave.
Yep. And there should be a satisfaction in earning money over when given someone else's.
If somebody has never experienced that, they won't understand what you are talking about. Look at all of the tales of people who won scary amounts in lotteries, then p***ed it away.
With inflation, you don't really know what your expense will be in a year or 5 years. I thought things were going great a year ago and then inflation hit. Of course everybody knew it was going to happen when they started printing money. It looks like they want to keep the presses going and that is scary.OR, same price but smaller cups!
To me, coffee should NOT be messed with! Mess with sodas (they really are bad for you), but mess for coffee and that's where I draw the line!
As scary as the words "fixed income" might be, "uncontrolled expenses" is worse. My EX once asked me how much money we needed to make (I was "between jobs" at the time) and I responded with: "How much do we expect to spend?"
Know what your expenses are and know what you can pare down, in advance.
i keep hearing how this nation has never been so devided.
Wow, disagree.
I have a few more years, but most people I know find themselves wondering how they ever got anything done before they retired.
It's probably that people who don't do anything lack the physical or mental health to stay active. The big description of ageing is, "Use it or lose it." I watch maybe four hours of TV a week. The rest of my time is spent doing something, from practicing a foreign language to metal fab and blacksmithing. I do a couple half hour sessions of aerobic walking every day just to keep the blood circulating. I'm sure my active lifestyle is how I survived last year's episode of septic shock followed by anaphylactic shock due to the antibiotic they gave me for the septic shock.
Good for You!!!!
be careful if take up golf....you might give up everything else
Make one wonder why the penny will never go away.
I spent some time in manufacturing (world-leading company) and we'd upgrade and automate with the introduction of a new product line.
Yes, but... One knows what one expenses (<- verb). That is, the THING that one is paying out for. Having more things to expense is/was my point. Other than this, yes, there's little control over much of anything.
Was it Twain who said that golf was a good walk gone bad?
I noticed that as well. I never do a soft screen on personal information. If I were to have taken that picture I would have set a pencil or something over the name, account number or whatever.
