Just helped my daughter with hers. She’s a full time student in a MSW program (so interning and working part time). Her cost went up 90.4% (from $188 to $358).

My husband has an β€œAunt Connie” who has always been Aunt Connie. We’d been married like 20+ years before I learned she was technically his dad’s cousin. Splitting hairs much?

My daughter is 26, and a full
time student in a MSW program, and can only work part time. She also has type 1 diabetes (so has expensive medical needs). ACA is about $80 a month this year. I’m very concerned what it will be next year. She NEEDS coverage.

Remember all the way back to like 2019 - when lives were valued? Those were the good old days.

I love all your podcasts and often listen with my (adult) kids. I feel like listening to reality in such a down to earth way has kept me sane the last bunch of years.

Bought it! Can’t wait to listen.

I agree that’s not the norm. But the idea of working and saving until you can retire isn’t in any way a scam. If you’re unable to save, you work longer. That’s just economics.

How is it a β€œscam”? It’s not ideal - but it’s about choices. My father has been retired for 33 years. I’m 54 and I’ve been retired for 6.

Tell me you haven’t been to Alcatraz without telling me (his stupid post). It’s prohibitively small, earns a fortune in tourism, and is in San Francisco! Hilarious, and so dumb.

$4.42 at Sam’s club, which is about the cheapest I’ve seen (and about what it’s been for months).

I can’t do much - but I haven’t set foot in a Target in months.

That’s incredibly stupid. And to say fraudsters complain more? Let’s see the evidence of that. I don’t believe that for a moment. I call insane BS.

Does anyone else wonder if one of Trump’s plans is to just make a killing in the stock market by intentionally driving it with all these policies he starts (down), pulls back (up), starts again (down), pulls back again (up). I mean, evil for sure - but maybe calculated too?

This was the first thing I saw and read this morning. Thank you for the hope you inspire!

On the literal White House Facebook page. I’m dumbfounded. How is this just a normal Wednesday?

Having served with many career civil and foreign service employees, I am comfortable stating with conviction that these dedicated, non-partisan public servants are the essential backbone of our society. What Trump is doing is a gift to our adversaries and catastrophic to a functioning government.

If it wasn’t them, that seems like a problem…

Turo provides insurance during the rentals. I’ve been renting out a van for a couple of years now. My insurance company is aware.

I learned when I was 16, because my parents took a road trip and only left me the manual car. It wasn’t pretty - but I was motivated!

I feel like this is most of us. We are not religious, but we celebrate Christmas as a family gathering, an opportunity to unite and give a gift to the people who are important to us.

Do you think it’s a matter of him requiring easy interviews without pushback, and the media going along because they want the interview? Seems like it.

That’s already a thing. The pickers who move refrigerated goods to pallets destined for trucks, then stores, work long shifts in fully refrigerated warehouses. My son is one of them.

My kids are 35, 33, 25. Still haven’t felt compelled to send any sort of scathing email.
