I know… But I hate how alc makes me feel 😒

Now THIS is a person who knows how to LIVE LIFE. NOICE. 😁 Thanks! 😊

That’s a great way of reframing it, cognitively! 🤣 Nice!!!

Sic plan. This is exactly what I was considering! 😊 I think I could even “lock down” the account so that I cannot withdraw from it until a certain time has passed or until I reach a certain amount of savings. But that feels a bit scary. 🫣

Thanks for your input, and what an AWESOME sprite to have as profile pic! Team Gen 2 ✊😁🩷

The 18TBs I needed for a full backup of my torrenting drives (four 4TB SSDs). I absolutely agree on the risks with it being so large, so I’m not going to be running stuff on it. In fact, once I’ve done a backup, I turn off (spin down, really) the drive so it that doesn’t wear at all. It just sits there, at the bottom of my chassi, waiting to be awakened once a month. Is that sad? 🤣

Boring is my middle name, so keep it coming! 😁 Thanks! 😊 I’ll pay off the debt.

That’s for if you think the world will be around when you retire. Only real answers, please?

Joke done. Thanks for all the great insights, as I literally have zero skill points in finances. 🤑

I’m so fed up with synthetic THC. 🤮 I want real weed, but I’m a probation and parole officer and it wouldn’t reflect too well on my… Everything? If I got caught when I’m simultaneously encouraging my clients to get OFF of drugs 🤣 also, I hate to vape/smoke alone, so, there’s that 😭💔

I’m going to study electricity during my upcoming vacation, so, who knows, maybe I could take up soldering?

I really needed to do a full backup 😭 but/and/also, I agree! I’m leaning toward paying off the drive!

Nah, I agree. The euphoria that comes with not having a debt is unparalleled. And responsible, yes. 😝

Bad at money, bad at math, GREAT at linguistics… 🤓

There is a $100 difference/leftover: the disk is 900, the refund is 1000. And if I’m putting aside 100 per month anyway for savings, then it feels like I should pay off the drive. 🤔
