Another day of great weather, unless you’re a plant. Then it’s past due for some rain. Humans though, we’re lovin’ it. I see more people and dogs in the evening than I’ve seen in years. And that’s with Monday having a bit warmer evening than the last week. I think it broke 80F at some point, but it didn’t stay there. Today should be the same.
I was partially productive. I got stuff up to the attic, stuff down from the attic. I even put up the simplest Halloween decor, a string of funny flags. I cut and packed some pork loin while getting dinner ready. One roast, some thin and some thick chops, and one roast to eat now… Pork loin roast is one of my go to meals. Garlic salt, some bacon strips, bake for 20 minutes per pound, and 20 minutes, and get some sides ready. Easy prep, easy cooking, and delicious. Easy cleanup too.
Today I’ve got a pickup or two, depending on mood, and all the stacked up tasks I’ve been avoiding. Kid duties got a bit simpler as D1’s 4-5pm appointment is done, while D2 has an afterschool activity that needs pickup at 445pm for a couple of weeks… and another appointment from 630-830pm. All are in the same area which means a lot of back and forth for me. I am so in the habit of combining trips, and making loops that it offends me on a deep level to go back and forth to the same area multiple times in the day. I have to just get over myself and do it.
Which is good advice for life in general.
And stacking, that’s good advice too.

Bain. 10% per year or die trying.
And EBay. Look at how well HP did with hiring Meg Whitman as CEO after the disaster of Lucent “magic” with Carly Fiorina.
Everyone wants a tenbagger, even those in the “tres commas” club.
I had no idea we were $200k in the hole for the student loans until after my wife finished residency and we bought a house.
I still trusted that she would manage the problem until we moved to Vantucky still $67k under with me unemployed. Wow, was that a mistake.
Since then, I’ve become a b*tchy doctor’s wife and dug us out of the mess. I certainly understand where those women come from now.
The crazy thing is that the loans were paid off about six years ago, but when rumors of Corn Pop’s repayment scheme started, Navient offered my wife to reopen $20k of the debt without my knowledge or consent on the premise that the loan forgiveness would let her have “free” money.
Ramsey is right. The student loans and the people behind them are evil. Plus society sends a wrong message to women about financial infidelity being ok as an empowerment issue, compounding the problem.
My friend’s divorce lawyer says that, lately, it always starts with the “ladies only” 50th birthday trips to Vegas.
What happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas, especially once the edibles start flowing.
Florida wants in on that market. Legalization is on the ballot this Fall.
60F and clear this am, with sunrise coming up…
soon.
Time to make the donuts.

Yes indeed. It is a cash cow for the lenders, backed by the federal government. It targets those with the least common sense about finances. Those that have no clue about how interest accumulates. They think 10% interest on $100K is only $10K. They have no concept that 20 years later that interest may be more than what they borrowed.
Don’t be setting yourself above others. I have made worse mistakes. Especially when I bought my first boat and got scammed on the loan.
That I find hard to believe. Maybe it is the people I associate with as there are no bottom feeders in my circle.
Sympathy for your loss. It really makes the drug problem hit home.
I really don’t like the FEDs war on drugs and how little they accomplish. Part of me says make antibiotics prescription, everything else everyone is on their own. But then I see stories like this and realize there are people that without external intervention and control will make fatal choices. Bummer.
