We had a Wolf gas range in our last house and I loved it. Our next place came with an induction range and I can't say enough good things about them. I...

I rolled out of a decade+ career making decent white-collar, college-educated money in IT. Gave my notice at the office. Signed up for CDL school and...

A 375sqft apartment for two people would make me uncomfortable, as is his mission of finding free food. But that's a position I've always taken on here...

If not careful, one can succumb to their own fear of the virus. The news media is a bit like a salad bar. Visit when you are hungry. But if you stay there...

I'm tuning in on the booster. Seems like pharma is ready to push one but public health is saying not just yet, or maybe it's not needed. I thought the...

For us, part of it is comfort. Part of it is resale. Part of it is good maintenance on the home.

Replacing an old furnace while it is still...

Hopefully the meeting went well? Looks like your post was from yesterday.

We bought a house (used) that had a central vac. To be honest, I kind of scoffed at it, at first. How 80's, right?

A couple of benefits I've...

If you bought it for $28k and it's now worth $15k sight unseen, then you've only seen 46% depreciation over 4 years. It's roughly even with the rule of...
