@justintrimble In my county, $2,000 per month or 24k would be a $10 MM house!

Wait until you own the house in full and have to pay $2,000/month in property tax just to stay there. That's a real mindfuck.

Just realized something that honestly made me stop for a second… $2,000 rent a month. That’s $24,000 a year. Stay there 5 years… that’s $120,000. Gone. No ownership. No asset. Nothing to show for it. Just paid to exist somewhere. That’s actually insane when you really think about it.

@KurtSupeCPA I think the reverse is true, you’re living your last 15-20 years while saving for retirement and paying SS. When you retire both these expenses go away!!

Couple came in eighteen months before his retirement date.
I suggested something I do with clients who are ready.
"Let's run a retirement dry run. Live on your retirement income for ninety days. Right now."
They thought it sounded simple.
Week three she called me.
"We've barely left the house and we've already overspent."
They'd never actually lived on a number before.
Forty one years of two incomes covering everything.
The retirement budget assumed $11,000 a month.
Ninety days in they were running $15,400.
Not extravagantly. Just actually living.
We spent the next twelve months figuring out the real number.
Rebuilt the whole plan around reality instead of optimism.
He retired eight months later than planned.
Those eight months bought them a retirement they could actually afford to live in.
The most expensive assumption in retirement planning is that you know what your life actually costs.
Most people are genuinely shocked when they find out.

@Math_files Where would he leave the note?? If he had the owners birthday surely he had his address. Why not just send it??

A chemistry professor posted a bonus question to an exam...
Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I go out with you", and take into account the fact that I went out with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.
The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore extinct, leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being, which explains why last night Teresa kept shouting "Oh, my God!"
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A".

@godknowsdgj1 Of course, when they’re that small and high, you can’t read them! 😂

@IveyLeagueDude @FB_Helmet_Guy Yes, but Bagwell for Anderson made up for it!
