Is there a quicker way to enter a DOB rather than clicking to the previous month a hundred times?

Mostly I'm just using my finance calculator app.

Input current data, how much I save yearly, and how much will be in each individual account at 5yrs, 10yrs, 62yo. At 3.5% minimum growth to seek out worse case scenarios. I collect the data then I log it into my word app. I do Max contributions (since last few yrs)

401k
IRA
HYSA

Retirement apps?

Any recs?

Still 10+ yrs away.
Probably near maxed out on credit cards for a score that low.

My score was 830 for maybe the last decade. I bought something on Amazon and it went to a CC that I kept but never followed. I finally realized I missed 2 payments of maybe $100 and my score dropped to 742 After a few months, it's back to around 790.

I need to move out of LA in a hurry.

Maybe Collect SS at 65 then die 5 yrs later

Low birth rates is a global problem. People have a hard time supporting themselves much less trying to raise kids.

re: Skenes got pulled after 65 pitches

Verlander had 10 seasons pitching 200+IP by age 34. 238, 240, 251IP seasons.

Skenes over/under on his first pitch was usually 98mph on FanDuel his rookie season.

27 fastballs, not one hitting 97mph

He looks like he put on weight? Maybe that is altering his mechanics.
Hybrid Honda CRV or RAV4 40+mpg

10k mi/yr gas at 3.50/gal
$875 gas

It's all personal preference. Sure it'll save a lot of gas money compared to a 15-20mpg truck. Compared to a hybrid SuV, it's hardly worth mentioning. Besides a yearly 10k mi oil change, not much servicing is required either on a Honda/Toyota.

What sleep meds work for you?

Personally I take a high dose of Melatonin nearly daily.

I'm looking for something to recommend to a 30ish yo girl who's always complaining of not being able to sleep.

Except for the world will get too efficient and lessen the jobs available. Glad I'm 10-15yrs to the end of my working career. I can't imagine those just now starting college or to have children in college. GL finding a job.

Can I get some ratings or recs?

I routinely get it from Whole Foods. Have tried Salt Pepper Oak and Offset Smoker BBQ recently. All pretty solid to me.

Any chance Eyanson gets called up this yr with the Orioles? I know nothing about their pitching staff.
