Isn't he adorable? Also atriculate. But, so adorable!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The news is depressing me.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Debt that can be written off on taxes isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Debt written off on taxes. What is the amount in the bank account?
Less.
Check it. Seriously. Check the numbers. Can you rent your way ahead of the interest? Yes, if you save, at interest.
If you can't rent and save, something is wrong with your rent, or your income.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Isn't he adorable? Also articulate. But, so adorable!
And funny!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Totally adorable. Made me what to pinch his cheeks and say "who's a wittle religous scholar-wholar?"

To pay my rent and save $500K in the bank would take me 30 years. Something wrong with my income? Maybe. But it is what it is.

Well, I could move in to a closet for the next fifteen (or thirty) years and/or I could give up and get a soul sucking job. I don't really want to though.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Not necessarily. I have a tough time because of the housing and rental market in the DC area, and I make a good income. If I had to buy a house on my own, I'd never be able to save enough to come up with a decent downpayment.
Sometimes it feels like I can't even save enough for my retirement, and I don't have a hellacious amount of expenses.
Should people bank the $150K they may spend on their education rather than borrow it to end up paying interest for the next 20 years, because they'll get a better rate of return? They won't be able to make the $150K if they don't have the education. It's a vicious cycle.

So-called consumer debt can get out of hand, sure.
But access to credit is one of the bedrock mechanisms by which people are able to improve their economic standing. G.I. Bill credit in the middle of the last century was a huge driver of the growth of the middle class.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

He really is. And smart, too.
