Same. Disintegration has an epicness that I thought would carry the day and seems to do better in more recent critics’ polls. Also, the Cure are coming off a recent release, and tour, that was well received

I think it’s important to have an understanding of poverty as something separate from economic anxiety. But the latter is real and explains a lot of our politics today and talking clearly about this is helpful.

And that’s if only one earner is maxing out. And I think the limits have increased. Everyone is told you have to max out 401k, which there are huge benefits, but if you’re taking on credit card debt to meet current expenses while doing so, are there really?

At $140K or thereabouts you may be able to create wealth in home equity, retirement accounts, 529 savings, but it isn’t liquid funds you can use in an emergency

Part of the reason this got such a negative reaction is the use of the term poverty. But the fact is that you need to be making well north of $140K as a family with children to be able to create the liquid savings that allow you to feel financially secure.

Spent a lot of my college years in the 90s talking with my friends about how awesome getting the other star wars episodes would be and wouldn’t it be great if they turned Infinity Gauntlet into a movie. What a real monkey’s paw that turned out to be.

Also feels like a lot of people are missing the fact that while $135K is ok if you can keep making that consistently, you also live with the fact that one layoff means you are totally fucked.
