Plenty of smart, hard-working kids in public and private schools, and plenty of dipshits getting home schooled. And vice versa.

But cool anecdotal story.

This is where you hire another 13-year-old to beat that kid’s arse.

And those aren’t the worst.

If you're planning to move in 5 years then you shouldn't be getting into a mortgage in the first place. But you definitely shouldn't be getting into a 50 year one where you'll barely pay anything toward the principal.

There is nothing wrong with buying a house that you will be in for less than 5 years.

On a $300,000 loan at 7 percent interest on a 30-year mortgage, you have only paid around $17,000 in principal after 5 years.

Depending on the real estate market you are in, you could make much more than with an increase in value when you sell.

There are lots of variables.

If you are planning to move within 5 years, there’s nothing wrong with it. But it should just be interest only. Let’s not pretend you are actually paying down any principal.

The boomers on this board literally are in favor of forcing people to have kids.

I don’t think you know what “force” means

buying water isn't even good enough now. you'd think y'all would welcome that over the sugary drinks, but nope,

Milk and juice with no sugar added are the only liquids that should be allowed on government food entitlements.

Yes, it is.

I hear their train system is especially nice and peaceful at night.

Which?

I doubt this is true.

Passport fees, tourist visa fees, H1B fees, and many others. These are imposed at the agency level and/or by executive action.

I can go on and on. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of fees imposed by the government that are not approved by congress.
