For a house its not hard and there are no barriers to entry.

Edit: I would say its not hard and no barriers outside of say CA, who has done their best effort to basically make insurance...

Is a catastrophic event likely to happen? No. But if it does and you "self insure" you can pretty much guarantee to wipe out the vast majority of the average American's net worth. I couldn't imagine...

I'd be happy with removing the income cap on social security, but not increasing the max payout (outside of COLA's). Everybody wants to tax the rich until its time to put rubber to the road.

I...

That Jeep will get me anywhere my heart desires, and it will rattle, shake and smell like coolant the entire way.

And like its mechanicals, it carries a certain image, a stigma if you will, that...

I don't think I'm buying people driving Toyota's for the image, at least to any degree that results in the sales numbers Toyota gets for the taco.

Most modern cars are going to start and get you...

Isn't that mini-duramax turbo also?

Toyota's entire brand identity is reliability, otherwise they would just be Nissan. I would rest on the new taco being reliable until proven otherwise...

Life goes on and people eventually change jobs or move. This isn't the first environment where interest rates rose, it probably won't be the last. Eventually life catches up with everyone and the...

I get it you want universal healthcare. That said, you can walk onto basically any local DPW crew right now with a pulse and a GED and have some of the best healthcare in the country (in a general...

On several occasions I have taken less pay for a better benefits package and that turned out to be the right choice on my end.

The system worked for me and I am happy to have had the access I did. Would I have liked it to be cheaper? Sure, everyone would. I also recognize the profit motive has led to the US leading the world...

The past three years the AR fam has had quite a ride health wise, including a life flight, NICU stay and a cancer treatment. All in total billings came out to over 400k. All is now well.

I have...

"I'm mind fucking the shit out of you right now."

I think its probably worse for refs to be gambling than players. Most players are still going to make more money comparatively by excelling and winning on the field. A ref though?

Having lived in a ski town, like 50% of my social circle has their realtors license (slight exaggeration but if you know you know). Every single one of them is delusional in their thinking that this...

The suits had us for at least a little while (I've lost track of where TGR stands at this point) and we either scared them away or are unbreakable. Either way we should be proud.

Why does this house require a specific buyer? ADU and a large lot seem generally desirable, and assuming the 100 year old house is normal for the neighborhood not unique.

I'm not going to say one way is better than the other, but for me, my outlook on life got remarkedly better with less drug use.

Ultimately I think you need change. Whether that is where you work,...

For some East Coast love, I think it is hard to beat S6. Its quaint, you can ski the entire mountain by like maybe day 3 on skis outside of one run, and its just in general a cool spot. Clientele is...

You need to get over it bud

As a millenial with kids I can certainly see why the millenial number is so high.

In my hood, which is northern NH by the way, going rate for childcare is 1750 per month, per kid full time. You...

Whatever you save in mpg you are going to lose in increased maintenance.

I mean just look at this cat:

488466

Those go for over 2k used on ebay alone, let alone new, nevermind all the...

It feels like Foggy and Austin both see at least one of the benefits of being a contractor in that you dictate when and where you work, not the other way around. Say what you want about your personal...

Doc continues to amaze me how he keeps getting jobs. I hope Garnett is getting a cut of his checks because Doc has made an absurd amount of money off that one year he just sat on the sideline and...

Taco Bell Couloir.

If you know you know.

This is my setup as well and its great. If it looks to be especially good, I'll give the powers that be a heads up I won't be reachable for a day, but otherwise I'm free to ski as long as I get my...

There is a great documentary on Netflix about a maple syrup heist in Quebec and goes into great detail about the market overall.

I detailed cars as a teenager and I charged 2-300 for a car and 3-400 for a truck depending on the severity and this was over 20 years ago.

Heh yeah, that was kinda the joke.

3% on say a 30k trade is only 900 bones. No dealer is operating on that small of a spread. That said, they typically negotiate either on trade or the price of the truck, so they can make it up on the...

Anything more than a GFC you are going to want the 2500+.

On the plus side, you'll probably get good coin for that GFC selling separately in Bozeman.

I think you are looking at least a 5k hit for a trade in value vs private party.

I've got a soft spot for some good James Taylor, he has a pretty distinct sound, and it fills a certain vibe on occasion and my wife and I's first dance was to "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)"....

Well I would argue Ms Boissal wasn't exactly putting her life on the line, and she also wasn't making like 28k or whatever an E1 makes as a Marine or Army recruit, so not exactly apples to apples...

Hey go get paid for all I care, but don't be surprised when public support for this program grenades. Notably when all the advocacy for the program was selling that no no no, these people are doing...

No, these programs were sold to help promote careers in teaching, non-profits, and govt work, not bide your time then go get paid. 10 years isn't exactly what most would consider a career.

Even...

Come on man, you can't honestly believe the intention of the program was for people to hit the 120 month mark then immediately bounce and go to the private sector, notably before the forgiveness...

I don't have direct experience, but the program stipulates you must hit 120 months and be currently working for an eligible employer....

I don't support that Moab development, but that savemoab.org website reads like a giant NIMBY spoof and is hard to take seriously.

I read an interesting article about how the biggest flex in wealthy areas is the number of children one can support. Everyone can afford a Rover round those parts but three or four kids in a real...

These places exist in well to do areas, but for 95% of cities and towns around the country, no.

I grew up in a strong public school district, then as a result of that strong district, was able to get a scholarship to go to an even better private high school. I came from a blue collar family...

Jay was amazing today. Walk on trams and ski on lifts all day with 12” reported.

This supposed issue of boomers aging in place in homes to large for their current household size seems like putting the cart before the horse.

I think the world would be better served just...

I’m not going to argue with you because the the current system isn’t great, but I did benefit personally in one instance, so just consider it one data point.

A strong network and a shitload of clients looking to buy.

You sold a house on Redfin, and posted about several fuckups that happened along the way that cost you time, and probably money. I'm...

The vast majority of agents don't do shit. That drives my personal opinion they are relatively useless. If they didn't exist at all, they wouldn't be missed.

That said, within the current system,...

My distaste for screens is pretty universal because they make the overall dashboard size gigantic. One of my favorite non-utility aspects of a full size pickup is the space, and it seems...

I don’t think anyone expects your dog to act like it took to much xanax but rather you are being an asshole for confronting your neighbors about standing in their own neighborhood. Get the fuck over...

Ford F150 leaky taillight = 5600 dollar fix. Ouch. I think it says something that a busted taillight now requires an insurance claim to be able to pay for the repair.

That'll put hair on your chest
