Congratulations! We would be better off if everyone prioritized saving and investing and living on less than they make.

If they’re hot, we need mandatory leaks!

Shakes fist at TSA.

Went to university with a lady named (I kid you not): April May June

According to her, her parents thought it would be “fun”.

I would guess she is about 50-60 years old now.

I see what you did there 😉

You were joking - obviously!

Far more than I am proud to say, far more.

So, just like the manufacturer.

Sorry to hear it didn’t work out as planned for the two of you.

IMHO, relationships should not be about one persons happiness/goals/etc over the other (i.e. wives are not more important than husbands or vice versa). The item mentioned in the original post isn’t going to change anything in their lives (other than bringing one of them a bit of joy).

No complaints here; I just want the wife’s to be happy.

Or Cancun (heard that from someone named Ted).

I agree (and realize) that a simple holiday wouldn’t fix the many ills of our “election system”. Just thought it would help. I’ve heard that England has at least a week to vote [hope that’s true]. Anything that would make it easier and more convenient to vote would be a great help (not suggesting making the process less secure).

That sounds great!

The reasons I was given for first Tuesday in November are:

1. After “pay day” at beginning of month (not everyone gets paid on the first of the month though).
2. So you will be sobered up from your weekend drunk.

The idea behind #1 is that it should be harder to bribe you if you have recently been paid. The reason behind #2 is that you will be sober when you vote.

Also, in my state at least, alcohol sales are prohibited while the polls are open for voting.

I’m guessing you might be from Canada (Hello up there friend)!

Because certain groups in power are total pieces of @#$_&-+/!

Which States Ban Giving Food and Water to Voters at Polling Places?

Elections in the US didn’t used to be so controversial, but in the last 10 years certain groups/parties have been crying foul (baselessly I might add) about illegal voting.

You are supposed to be able to go to the polling place on election day and vote. There are limited voting hours (generally about 12 hours), it is not a national holiday (should be), your employer does not have to give you time to vote (paid or not). You might be able to vote via postal mail (but it varies by state what “valid reasons are” to do that).

The US really needs election reform nation wide.

If the wife likes it, mission accomplished!

Just take a chill pill man.

A good number of people did until early 2022. It looked a lot better on paper.

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

I’ve been trying to remember all the little folks since I’ve become so fabulously wealthy, but it just doesn’t seem worth it anymore. /s

I’ll let them know that (in case it ever becomes relevant).

They are a wonderful partner and I would never leave them for something so minor. It’s just a thing I can’t quite wrap my head around - I’m sure I have things about myself that they don’t get either. It’s not a big deal to either of us.

Tried that many times (to no avail).

We are both university grads and know how math works. They just can’t get past the psychological barrier of “the bill will be higher when we check out”.
