LPT: Making homemade pizza? Use your grocery store’s salad bar to get the exact toppings and proper amount of toppings you need. I’ve been doing this for years at my local Whole Foods – I can find pretty much all good toppings (except for pepperoni) at the salad bar. Instead of buying a whole pack of XXX ingredient, head to the salad bar to get just enough of each ingredient/topping. Chicken, crumbled bacon, blue cheese, Gorgonzola, corn, green onions, red peppers, olive…

Started with 0 put away but I’m slowly inching my 401k contribution up to the max, but I’m probably 2-4 years away from that.

When does “proportion of loan balance to loan amount too high” go away? I know seeing this as an impact to my credit score is because of my mortgage. My mortgage was for $233600 and my current balance is $228200 after two years. I’m sure it’s gonna be a while, but what proportion makes this stop negatively impacting my credit score? I’m not worried about it either way, I still have a score over 750, I’m mostly just …

Box 13 says Statutory Employee, but there is no check mark, and no money amount in the box. Doing taxes and in Box 13 it says Statutory Employee.

I don’t remember this from last year but I’m being asked the question (filing online). Everything I’m finding online says if the box is checked, select it, but again, the box is …

With the amount of low cost airlines worldwide and their routes overlapping between regions it is very possible to fly around the world with 5 stops for under $1,500, here’s how Was just playing around on Google Flights and other sites to see how cheaply I could fly all around the world with a few stops thrown in. Ive put the stops down as a week in each destination. Started the trip in London but it would work from any major city that has lots of flights going through it. All flights are direct, no stop overs 30th Apri…

Do you quantify non-essential purchases by figuring ‘x-hours of work = amount of money for purchase’? This is something I do in my head when discussing purchases with my wife or looking at something non-essential I’d like to buy. Like, “Is getting my son a new baseball bat really worth $300? That would take me roughly 4 hours of work pre-tax to make.” In the above example I generally say “no, it’s not worth 4 hours of my time” but getting a clea…

TV Shows with the most amount of series finales? For example, Futurama has “ended” multiple times with episodes intended to be the final ones, but the show keeps coming back. I don’t mean shows that get cancelled multiple times but keep coming back, but shows making an episode with the intention that it could be the last ever and actually feeling like it. submitted by /u/llloksd …
