I think it’s very hard to not overthink money. I’m terrible at spending money and save/invest as much as possible most of the time. What I think I found to be the keys for me were 1. Finding what things I enjoy that money can buy. Vacations. 2. Not overly tracking certain spending categories. I throw all the normal weekly spending in one bucket and just let it flow. 3. Automate savings at the beginning of a pay cycle and let the extra sit in my account. Then I don’t feel as much guilt spending it because I’ve already saved. VS not wanting to spend so I can save more.

I know you're butthurt that someone made a post that isn't about crypto. Maybe you could just put the cash back into the shitcoin of your choice. Would that make you happy?

What can be done to stop shoplifters? I own a small pharmacy and shoplifters have become increasingly aggressive over the past few years. Are there any strategies that actually work?

If you aren't aware, putting things in a locked case no longer works. At my store they literally brought in a big rock and smashed the plastic case to steal eye cream. I've never had this happen at my store, but apparently shoplifters are also using blowtorches to open cases:

Don't do it, OP!

I turn 34 this weekend and only have about $10k in savings. I recently started a new job and I hope this budget will get me on track. These are my monthly expenses:

Net monthly pay: $6.5 million

rent - $2,400

car payment - $1,000

car insurance - $200

gas - $100

pet expenses - $6.495 million

phone bill - $115

utilities - $80

student loans - $650

food/misc - $800

= $2,455 leftover to save. But, for what? Should I focus on saving for my dog’s retirement, a bespoke tuxedo for my dog, adding a second story to my dog’s house, etc.? I don't know how to prioritize.

Edit: for clarity, I just want to know how to prioritize the $2,455 savings every month. No advice on the rest of my budget, please. If you try to tell me to spend less on my dog I will have you framed for murder.

In a competitive Big Mac eating contest, who would win: Charles Hoskinson or Sergay Nazarov? I personally think Sergay would win because he has the mind of a champion and he always thinks about food. For example:

Van-life has been glamorized on youtube and instagram. Now there has been a wave of hobo lifestyle videos that actually make it seem like a better job than waging. Has anyone here hopped on a freight train and rode the rails? I am considering doing this when the weather gets a little better this spring.

A lot of times they under price the big guys too. Not sure how they do it. But they are legit.

unknown to me, my grandpa started a saving acct for me in 1985. the bank was bought by wells fargo …

when i call WF, i can’t get to anyone who knows anything. What department do I look to speak with?

short backstory- grandpa died 25 yrs ago, my aunt is going through some boxes of old papers and came across a typed ledger tht had all his grandchildren’s names and account numbers for Interstate bank of Nevada.

she sent me the info next to my name- how can i collect on this account? does it still exist?

>my grandfather wants me to marry my zoomer gf
>both him and my father have given me instructions to never marry
>being married results in: the wife governing your money, your offspring, your sexual activity, your home, and the ability to rape you of half of your possessions
Don't care how much I love anyone, I will never marry. My money will never be raped. My manhood will stay stronger. Marriage isn't what it once was. They should revoke gay marriage to save the homosexuals from the straight man's burden.
I've seen what women have done to my friends and family through the evils of marriage.
So yes, >>52668971 a man marrying a woman is the worst thing he could do for himself.
>>52669527
>No, getting divorced is.
That's what most of them end with. And those that don't end up being sexless and financially taxing upon the man.

Just got back from my lcs.
Still no silver bullion.
He did have a 1/10 gold eagle 1985 which he sold me for 225.00 no tax.

Is Andrew Tate /ourguy/ or just another grifter?

He certainly has an accurate take on youtube's business model:

Is it the baby bump? SHe is obviously pregnant and trying to hide it.

Does Bass Pro have Amazon setting up primary care providers on-site?

Snip about Amazon/RiteAid working together:
"on Tuesday announced a partnership with Rite Aid to provide primary care services on-site. Homeward will set up its mobile care units in the parking lots at the pharmacy chain's retail locations beginning this July in Michigan.

"Health care is very broken and we need a lot of people to fix it," Homeward CEO and founder Jennifer Schneider told me. "Do I think Amazon will solve it out of the gate? No. Will they inspire others? I hope so."
