@EndWokeness @RealDrDEAx The fact there was no response on how to handle a disagreement with advertisers says all you need to know about mainstream media today.

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@BoomerDivvies Those prices are absolutely insane. No way I’d be eating there.

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@SenWarren This is just playing to people with greed in their eyes. Let’s ignore the value these companies have brought to technology going forward and tax him so hard no one ever wants to innovate.

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@WallStreetApes Insurance will do this to you any chance they get too. Never seems to go down…

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@KRL_defi_ I certainly agree that’s a terrible return for that much capital. Might as well put it in a high yield savings account with that rate.

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@rushicrypto You lose it. Thats what insolvency means.

Reality - they’ll adjust the calculation and give the next generation less than the last while charging the same.

@b_co_co “Then life style gets in the way” < —- personal choices have consequences

They made me sign a waiver before the wings arrived.

A paper. To eat. As though courage came with a release form.

The cheerful waiter set the plate down like a man delivering a verdict. "These are the Infernos. Most people tap out. There's milk if you need it."

I looked at the milk. The milk looked back. We understood each other. Neither of us would be needed tonight.

"I will not be requiring the milk," I said.

The first bite arrived like a small sunrise behind the eyes.

(My tongue filed a formal complaint. My eyes opened a second one. I overruled them both.)

A man does not ask the fire to be gentler. He only becomes harder to burn.

I did not reach for water. I did not wave a hand before my mouth. I sat, straight-backed, and ate the Infernos one by one, the way a man receives ten thousand letters of bad news without changing his face.

Beside me, a college boy attempting the same challenge was weeping openly into a napkin. So, between bites, I turned to him and said, calmly, that the fire is not the enemy — the wish for it to stop is the enemy. He stared. Then he picked up another wing.

When the waiter returned, expecting wreckage, he found an empty plate and a samurai sitting in perfect, sweating peace.

"...sir. You want the wall? You're on the wall now. People take a photo."

I rose. I bowed to the plate. I bowed to the kitchen, where unseen hands had forged so worthy a trial.

"Thank you for the fire," I told them.

Then I turned to the room and said, with smoke still somewhere in my soul:

"Comfort teaches a man nothing. Bless the meal that fights back."

The college boy lifted his last wing like a torch. The cook came out to shake my hand. The whole table behind me began, softly, to applaud the strange calm man who had thanked them for the burning.

I walked out into the cool evening, mouth aflame, heart entirely at peace.

A small fire, faced well, is just another way to know you are alive.

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@Mericamemed Well I mean that guy did a terrible job against a knife too. Rule #1 try to control their weapon and never relinquish once you have it.

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@RetireonDividen Just keep the mortgage. If you can’t afford that you can’t afford to retire

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@DividendGrowth Yes. Use a credit card in almost all situations. You get points and protection of the likes of Visa because they are on the hook not you with the cash in your checking account.

Worked at a bank years ago and this kind of overdraft would cause other payments to reject too.

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@frugalbc @SteveOnSpeed To the KFC from the chipotle because “they deserve it”

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@omgsidewalks So get a job that pays that. KFC isn’t a career unless you’re in management. If you have no more skills than to make fries you get paid at a wage of a fry maker.

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@NetworkDirecto1 That isn’t for the car at that point… it’s liability for an accident. Read your coverage and if you have too much for what you want lower what you’re carrying.

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@DadisFIRE Absolutely. A ton of people on 𝕏 don’t get it either. I think some have never been outside a major urban area.

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@creativeburne Perhaps. But interest rates could certainly drop. And anyone who has looked at an amortization table can tell you that is a huge factor in total cost.

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@FinFreedom414 If you’re choosing young, so many would pick A.

It isn’t until you hold your firstborn that you really can appreciate what B is about to bring.

Always go B people. That’s the true legacy.

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@Ankara_inc If she’d been foreclosed on would she be looking at the math the same way? I expect not.

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@hippojuicefilm That, my friends. Is battery.

[Wiser @WiserTakes]

@Tokyo_pi1 How do you end up $1M in student debt?!
