I leave all my old amazon boxes littered around my front porch and move them daily so the theives will become acclimated to the frequent disappointment and not bother to check by the time I actually buy something

Booby trap the boxes ala the early SAW movies. Film the results. Post footage online and start successful YouTube channel.

I don't need to know anything about virii! My CUSTOM PROGRAM keeps me protected! It's not like they'll try to come in through the Internet or something!
I canceled at the end of my year because the price went up, and it turns out that now basically everything is free shipping anyway with or without prime, and ships just as fast, and the only thing that was ever good on Prime Video was Jean Claude Van Johnson which I already saw, and the free games on Twitch had stopped being any good already, so the only thing I miss out on at all is the one free ebook a month (which mostly only includes $3 ebooks anyway).

If you want prime for free just complain every time you order anything and they'll give you a months credit.

Amazon would rather make you send products back for return and reorder if the price changes even a day later then simply refund the difference.

That just happened to my friend. But if it's cheap enough they'll just send you the same product for free. Plus they gave me a free month of prime.

Trader Joe's is pretty cool. For the quality of their offerings, and the overall atmosphere of their store, I still can't believe their prices. Their employees also generally seem happy, too.

That being said; it's not my regular store. I have a low rent grocery store chain near me that makes me bag my own groceries and their prices are the best. It's called "Food 4 Less", but my father in law calls it "Food 4 Farmworkers" and makes fun of me for shopping there.

.....fuk him.

Fear not millennial guttersnipes!
Is a Recession Coming?




quote:

To understand whether this fateful combination— high debt plus a cooling housing sector—could produce a sequel to the Great Recession, I reached out to Bill McBride, a famously prescient economic analyst and the author of the Calculated Risk blog. “I do not see any signs of a recession in the next six months,” McBride said. “I think the economy is pretty solid. Recently new home sales have slowed due to several headwinds, mostly higher mortgage rates and the new tax policy.” As the Millennial generation continues to pay down student debt and move into its peak-earning years, he predicted “further increases in new-home sales and single-family starts over the next couple of years.” His verdict: a slowdown, perhaps; but not a downturn.

You could also tamp down the hyperbole and live in a very large Midwest city where you could have a high salary and a strong job market, along with not totally insane housing prices. You aren't required to live in Seattle or Brooklyn.
