Really isn't that bad so long as you have some fans running for airflow.
78 is not too bad. I keep my house at 76. If the day is particularly hot I might drop it to 74 because my living area has tons of window and can get a little stuffy. Once the heat of the day of mostly done, I'll turn it back to 76. Sometimes I will go to 74 at night.
But we are not large people. We run cold most of the time.

Why are you buying detergent at Walgreens? No doubt it would be cheaper at WalMart, Target, Sam's, Costco etc.

65 y/o. Worked since I was 12.
No anxiety for the Monday morning wake-up after drinking all weekend.
I am blessed!!
I retired 6 years ago at 54 (March of '20) after my wife died. I had a graduating senior and sophomore. The senior left for college later that year. Went from a household of four to just me and my rising junior.
We saved diligently and her life insurance put me beyond the number. College was also paid for because we saved early for that. Can't complain, life is good.

Reason I post this though is this is how the left will go after guns.
Unfortunately I lost all my guns in a boat accident. The floor of Lake Conroe is covered with weapons.

Today was our 16th
Our 26th would have been a few days ago. Unfortunately she died right before our 20th. I always stuck to the traditional list and would buy her something that was appropriate. My MIL and her best friends called me to reminisce. It was a nice day.

or in Houston at all long term
Crane spent a fortune on Memorial Park Golf. I'm sure he will not like to be relegated to the Tier 2, although the Houston stop isn't a priority for the top of the Tour.

What ETFs should i look at
VTI
VXUS
BND
At whatever allocation you deem appropriate. You could sub VTI/VXUS for VT if you like Vanguard's US/International allocation.
Buy the market. No need to gamble.

The Boat
My brokerage won’t let me buy mutual funds unless I’m over 65 years old.
I'm not over 65 but MF's have a place. Especially for a person that is overly obsessive about putting all money to work. Say I have 50k to invest and I buy VTI at $369, I'm going to have some change left over. That drives me crazy. A MF will invest the total dollar amount so no left over detritus. I'm with Schwab and you cannot purchase fractional shares although they do allow it for dividends.

AAPL for me as well.
Me too. 2023% gain since my first purchase in 2001. My basis is $14.20/share. Three times over the decades I would sell half of my position when the stock price settled around 100%. I haven't done the math if I had kept my original positions. Doesn't matter though, I put the earnings to work in other investments. Playing with house money many times over.

My nephew graduated from UCF. He now works for NASA. I don't know his ACT scores but I can guarantee it is significantly higher than 16.
re: When is the last time you’ve returned something?

My wife got a package from Amazon today and immediately wanted to return it so I had to retrieve the box from the trash.
Returns with Amazon is easy. You don't need the box if you have a Whole Foods close. Just start the return online and they will email you a QR code. Take the item to Whole Foods, show them the QR code and walk out.
ETA: You do need the items box but not any exterior shipping boxes, etc.

so where are you guys getting green peanuts?
Check in Asian grocery stores. Do y’all have Keemat up there? That’s where I get them when in season.

OR go to Fidelity/Vanguard etc and leave EJ all together?
Yes leave.
Pick your brokerage first. Fidelity and Schwab are probably the best. Vanguard as a brokerage has taken some hits from its customers lately. Let them pull the money/stocks etc. That way you do not have to talk to EJ at all. The incoming brokerage is very incentivized to help you port your assets. EJ may slow roll the transfer.

Do you people realize in the 90s there were twice back to back years when we didn’t win the NC. You know what? Those guys were playing their asses off and enjoying every second of it.
