On layoffs, very bad attendance, and Iger's legacy being one of disgrace

That phone also allows you to check emails, which are a necessity. And for much cheaper than buying a computer. We've eliminated the cost of one device.

Lol
The iPhone is now the "defacto" bad guy for everyone who is having a hard time.

Lol homeless?? It's because you have an iPhone
Medical bills?? It's because you have an iPhone.

Every problem is caused by the person having an iPhone

I would figure in a payment plan to pay off my debt but some choose to walk away and refuse to pay the bill. Taxpayers get stuck with it. - Truth

Taxpayers don't get stuck with unpaid medical debt. People with health insurance do. Anyone who has health insurance is subsidizing the uninsured, which is one of the issues Obamacare was trying to fix (not very successfully, but at least the effort was made).

Allow me to make what might be an unpopular suggestion. It seems like there might be a real market for old-fashioned boarding houses in the Orlando area.

That's Disney CM housing in a nutshell.

BRB. Gonna eat some avocado toast and complain how I've been priced out of the housing market in Miami.

When you're looking at an amount that's impossible for that individual to pay, no criminal consequences, and an overwhelmingly disorganized debt collection industry... I can't say I blame them for walking away, or at least hiding out until the statute of limitations is over.

Impossible for individual to pay off debt? That's what many told me quite some time ago. I woke up, worked several jobs, changed my attitude and lifestyle. Learned to like eating ramen noodles. Possible for me to make it happen.

Yes that's correct, it's ones with health insurance and why our rates keep going up.

Reduce all unnecessary spending - ESPECIALLY any recurring expenses. You don't need an instagram life when trying to relocate.

Relocation isn't only about money (although that's a big part of it).

It's hard for some people to understand because they're just wired differently (and view it as a fun adventure, or as no big deal, or whatever), but moving to a totally new place away from everything and everyone you know is an absolutely monumental task for some people. It can be more stressful than anything related to money and cause serious depression, etc.

If only there were some solution that has worked so well in every developed country to implement it that no one wants to get rid of it.

IF ONLY.

Lol I wonder though if I get the apple watch as a Christmas gift and then lose my job and health insurance, and get in a bind is it still because I have an I watch??

 

[mkt]

.

Nope.

Part of the reason I picked the house I rent is because there's a fully grown fruit-bearing Avocado tree in the backyard (and also a mango tree)

I bought mine. My bootstraps paid for it.

Can we go back to the car debate. My heads going to explode here.

Oh... and it's got nothing to do that the US has turned an essential service into a commodity and a for-profit industry, with shareholders and inflated margins?

With the prices of mangoes and avocados being expensive, having trees is smart.

Of course.

If you want reliable, get a Toyota (except the Supra)
If you want reliable luxury, get a Lexus.
If you want reliable and weird, get a Subaru (except the CVT WRX)
If you want reliable and fun, get a Miata

For the $20 my telescoping pole with a fruit basket cost me, I've had free mangoes and avocados for the past four years.

It's a huge profit industry and the obesity epidemic and unhealthy lifestyle of our country is fueling the record setting health care profits.
