I bought my model D used for $250, if I ever sell it I’ll turn a profit :P

I started maxing my Roth Ira out when I was earning $10/hr. Avoid spending money on things that don’t literally matter and save for the things that do. Pay attention to where every single dollar/pound/Euro/shekel goes. Stay out of debt. Keep drug/alcohol use reasonable. Most of the time folks who are concerned about retiring/money have no idea how much they spend on what. Saving for retirement is easy once you start doing it and get used to it, but you need to start early and you need to invest in the stock market. Avoiding chronic illness or accidents or long periods where you aren’t earning income are probably necessary too. Staying out of legal trouble is probably necessary as well.

I would assume if they were the ONLY hospital in Lubbock it would be different but it seems like there are plenty of other hospitals, albeit not level one trauma centers. I wonder if the area has “diversion” protocols already. The vast majority of patients transported by ambulances don’t need level one trauma centers so its probably more nothingburger than the article is making it out to be

I couldn’t shower with my eyes open for weeks because of Fire in the Sky, I was afraid I was gonna see an outline of the aliens behind the shower curtain.

Let us all know the next time you upgrade so we know it’s coming then :P

It was 4 years between the original SE and the 12 mini, they released the 13 mini right away but I think that might have been because battery issues with the 12. Maybe the ghost of Steve Jobs begins to haunt Cupertino after a few years of Apple not releasing a smaller phone

I assume they will roll another one out in a few years, I think everyone who buys a small phone hangs on to it for a long time. Before I bought a 13 mini my previous phone was the original SE (also small) so obviously I’m not upgrading every year.

What is your forecast about it?

This gets dangerous once you make semi decent money though. Like why would I take public transit that takes an hour to get there for $2.50, when I could just take a cab that costs $25 and only takes 30min to get there.

Like, sure…if making $50+/h one can justify it. But one could also instead save $23.50 for the piggy bank by taking the bus. And the 30min extra is not time one would have been at work getting paid anyway (unless your taking the bus/taxi to work I guess and actually gain 30min of pay).

That’s when you start calculating your hourly wage once all your livings costs have been deducted. Once you amortize your housing costs, car, food, retirement, student loans, and whatever other bad decisions that you’re still paying for every month and figure out your hourly wage AFTER all that it’s a lot easier to keep a level head.

Doing this when you make $12/hr is much too depressing though.

You are right, I thought it was it’s own thing but no it was always part of Toyota.

Hah, really? I thought people ate their cars up.

I never met a Scion owner who wasn’t happy.

And they wouldn’t have been bought by Toyota if it wasn’t a good investment.

I’m very comfortable doing CPR

Seriously…

“Why do you need to swap?”

“Because I can’t work the shift”

RRS feeds for youtube?

My kid watches some specific things we’ve deemed okay on youtube but there’s constant “you may also like” creep that he ends up finding, and it’s always garbage, this might be the way to finally limit the content to the specific stuff we’ve agreed to.
