I paid off all my debts instead of saving. How should that factor into a roadmap? The roadmaps I read say you should have ~1 year’s salary saved by 30, which I’ve put a decent amount towards, but am still probably 1-2 years from reaching. But that’s because I have 0 debt, when most people my age have around 50k in debt. More if they own a house. Should I add that missing debt as effective savings to my roadmap? Since my net w…

Why Your Microwave’s Defrost Function Sucks (and What to Do Instead) I love having a microwave. I use mine to whip up mashed potatoes, roux for gumbo, even lemon curd. It’s a versatile appliance, and I think everyone should have one. I’m not, however, in love with its defrost function. I prefer defrosting food using other methods, but you can defrost stuff in your microwave, you just… Read more…

What is the best way to show to people that they enjoy both streaming and television instead of just one of them? What is the best way in the media industry to show and convince people that they enjoy watch both streaming TV and cable television instead of just one of them,since streaming took viewers away from cable/old-fashioned television when it came along and that shows can both be streamed in high numbers and getting better television ratings,so we co…

LPT Request: How to think more about long term goals instead of short term? A bit of context, I’m soon to be 31 and still have no idea what I want from life. I’m overweight and need to get in shape. I make plans for the future but get bored with the idea quickly and never think about them again. Some days I want to go back to school, other days I want to move halfway across the country and start again. I’m in a dead end…

Current job does not offer 401k. Unsure what to do instead Like the title says, my current job does not offer a 401k, but planning to in the future. Here’s some other possibly relevant info • 200k salary • 100k HYSA savings • 96k traditional 401k from a previous job • 22k in a Wealthfront brokerage account I’m currently thinking that I can start prioritizing the Wealthfront account but I don’t know if t…

My uncle refuses to give my mom’s life insurance to my dad. Then, he put his son on it instead. My mom was the breadwinner of the family. She passed away before being able to write my dad under her life insurance, and had put her older brother under it in case anything were to happen to her. My parents had discussed my dad’s inheritance of her life insurance before, but she passed away unexpectedly at age 40. Everyone on my dad’s side agr…

LPT: Use this phrase instead of “I’m sorry” in a customer service situation: “Thank you for your patience.” It has helped me so much when dealing with clients and customers. Try it. If I am the cause of the issue in the interaction, I honestly appreciate any patience I get. If I am not the cause of the issue, it puts me on the side of said client or customer and I appreciate the opportunity to help… EDIT of course contin…

I wish they continued Green Lantern instead of Young Justice After a mid season 3 and a terrible season 4 that got it practically cancelled again, what got them thinking continuining YJ instead of any other DC series would be a good choice? Especially with different writers. Personally I would have liked them if they continued GL the animated series instead. I loved it so much as a kid, the music was awe…

Should I avoid a job that pays into a state pension instead of Social Security? I changed careers about a year ago to get into IT. My current position is entry level with low pay, even compared to the industry standard. I interviewed and got an offer for about 10k more from a public library. My current employer is in the process of making changes to the IT team and I have been told that the restructuring will lead to an inc…

LPT: If you overthink your past actions a lot, imagine someone you know doing/saying it instead Started doing this recently and it’s great for over thinking things I say. Just imagine someone you know in that situation said the same thing you did and you’ll realise you wouldn’t bat an eyelid. submitted by /u/LittleBoiDedoid

Why You Should Marble Your Cakes With a Spoon Instead of a Toothpick Marble cakes are as classic as hot fudge sundaes. They remind me of cute, energetic elderly folk chatting over tea and cake–even though I never see this, I’m sure they’re out there. It’s wholesome and comforting. But sometimes getting a good marble pattern in a loaf cake can be more elusive than the recipe suggests.… Read more…
