Does anyone find themselves making groaning noises more when doing anything strenuous or simple things like bending down as they get older? My 1.5 year-old groaned/grunted when she crouched down earlier mimicking me. Made me realize I groan a lot when doing just about anything. Opening a jar, crouch...

Better to dump a large sum in on the front-end. Since you are just starting with investing, then investing in increments might not be a bad thing to do as you learn more about what you're investing in. It helped me early on to invest smaller amounts to break the ice and settle my nerves. There's eno...

When I used to live in a metro area that had several Home Depots and Walmarts, I would buy clearance items and sell on ebay. Had a lot of help from members on this board with getting proficient at it. Made great pocket change at the time. Now with kids and being 100 miles from the nearest Home Depot...

My wife and I ren...

I've got too much shite around the house. If I got rid of one more thing than I added each day, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't even notice by the end of the year. I'm talking about anything, such as pens and notepads to books, old souvenirs, extra lawn tools, etc... I'm thinking about leaving town for a ...

We both have term life policies. Should I consider umbrella insurance or anything else that might help protect our current assets? I don't want to see the rug get pulled out from underneath me financially if one of my kids does something stupid....

It's not great. Honestly the public and private schools locally are at best mid-tier. We haven't figured out our plans for the kids schools yet, but we're saving in case we need to go the private school route. We're trying to make sure that we're teaching the kids what we can at home and not putting...
