She got them at 12. 14 was when she saw in appropriately edited content of her.

There is not a hard and fast rule for how big your emergency fund should be but there are definitely a lot of folks in the personal finance community who have at least 6 months in some type of readily available account that's not tied up in 401k or other investment funds which have early withdrawal penalties.

How much you save comes down to the individuals ability to do so and how much risk they are at if they were to suddenly lose a source of steady income and how much debt they currently have. For people with a lot of ongoing expenses, it'd be smart to try and pad up some safety net so they don't have their life completely fall apart if they somehow lost their job. This also might vary if you are single income or multiple streams for the household.

6 months is probably on the higher side since there's the opportunity cost of not investing surplus money somewhere that could have a higher rate of returns. Usually money that is in emergency funds have lower interest rates as a tradeoff. And if you have upwards of 4 months or more, you can use that time to draw from other accounts for more money if you see that the emergency fund isn't enough.

The best part about this is that the section near the tip is clearly more worn out than the rest.

Drinking in my 30s really meant that I won't get much of a buzz, but will feel bloated and get a headache later. Also, unless I do all my drinking early in the day, I won't get a good night's sleep because my heart will be racing.

So...only have 2-3 drinks max for the day and do it before the sun sets so I have the evening to process it. Or don't bother at all since the benefits don't really outweigh the cost. Staying hydrated throughout is important but doesn't really fix any of the aforementioned issues.

When the tectonic plates collide again to form another supercontinent, it will create enough heat to kill off most, if not all, mammals. And it will happen before the sun destroys everything, probably in around 250 million years or so.

Fruit is a botanical term for things with seeds in it. Vegetable is a culinary term. They aren't mutually exclusive so when people say something is either a fruit OR a vegetable, it isn't an apples vs oranges comparison.

My dreams are having to look for and/or wait for a public stall. And then when you finally get to it, it's almost overflowing in piss and shit and the entire place is a mess. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

Recurring subconscious anxiety.

It was pretty popular into the early 2000s as well as far as I'm concerned. Just not in media as much.

Options for word choices have diminished and aren't as edgy, but I still see men call each other cupcakes and removed in lieu of using more classical words.

Edit: Guess there's some pretty strong word filters here. It was the b-word in case anyone was wondering. Feel like I'm in elementary school...

Many people never matured beyond high school.
