@lutherananswers This is the entire point of the Ramsey financial psychology. Yes, it sounds dumb when you put it like this, but you have not mentioned risk at all. A $45k investment carries its own risk, as does a $45k loan at 4%. You are taking on this immense risk for a grand total of $1800/yr
@MattWalshBlog Sodas like Mountain Dew also have caffeine, a psychologically addictive substance. When I taught in rural Missouri, I would have students bring two liters of pepsi to school just to stop the shaking. People are as addicted to sugar water and sugar coffee as drunks are to alcohol
@MattWalshBlog The sad thing is that there is actually more sugar in the same amount of Mountain Dew, than there is in ‘Skittles’ juice. Our society has normalized drinking a beverage worse than skittle juice DURING a meal.
I deliver groceries. There are people who drink soda instead of water.
@Scoobidiboop@NickBSchroer Numbers aren’t comparable with STLCO over 1 million. Also, the county is highly differentiated. You have north county whose crime rates will look more like the City’s, while south county will look more like st. Charles county
@raypeepeet @CarolinaChristn Are you saying the entire paragraph here? The only questionable sentence might be that “the LCMS is officially pro-immigrant”
