@__drewface Just ACH and save the wire fee!

@CoryAdam12 @StabbyMcCrabby @waffleking42069 @willie6850 My grandparents had this setup and were very happy. My grandfather owned a liquor store and the family lived upstairs. They were a great team.

@right_inthe_mid Just like Vietnam war veterans who were first drafted and then mocked!

@Frefni81 @willie6850 I did work hard but to be honest I chose the wrong career and my male colleagues were just better at it.

@CoreyWriting My MIL taught in a very poor district for 20 years where two of her students ended up on death row. When I asked what she learned she said, “You can teach math but most social problems are beyond your control.’”

@CoryAdam12 @StabbyMcCrabby @waffleking42069 @willie6850 I agree there should be some incentive to stay together. My Catholic grandparents were married 60 years but four out of their five boomer kids got divorced.

@CoryAdam12 @StabbyMcCrabby @waffleking42069 @willie6850 I agree, though raising kids is honestly a lot of work!

@Frefni81 @willie6850 Some women put in long hours - I did because my college had once been all boys and the feeling was if you’re going to take a man’s spot you better show us you’re worth it.

My daughter attends a low-performing public school in an affluent white California suburb. The teachers do not grade homework, there is no gifted program (or any math tracking), and many students are disruptive. Because we live in an area with many retirees but few poor students, per-student funding is among the lowest in the state (property taxes bring in less revenue because houses have not been sold recently).

@right_inthe_mid Completely agree! There are sinners and saints in every demographic: men and women, rich and poor, etc.

@_rotimia Being earnest never really works in fact!

[Lili @bornskeptic89]

@tracewoodgrains @soblackandblue My daughter attends a local public school in an affluent California suburb - there is no lunch or recess supervision nor are there crossing guards. Mom volunteers used to fill these roles but now they are all employed. The jobs were duly posted at minimum wage; no-one applied.

@BradleyGrey_ GenX women see these pics and think, Hurray! Young women get to eat again!

@Rianstone Do they have any other strategy?

[Lili @bornskeptic89]

@frankiemuniz Could not agree more: am a much better version of myself after bottoming out a few years ago as you find out who your friends are. Therapy and fluoxetine are honestly very helpful too.

[Lili @bornskeptic89]

@hispanicnomad @I_Hate_The_SEC I agree: if women are economic agents as we all wanted to be, then divorce is no longer a valid wealth creation strategy. To be fair, in community property states men as well as women can be astonishingly opportunistic.

[Lili @bornskeptic89]

@Rianstone Ok honestly some women do find that fun: one of my college suitemates wanted to sleep with a guy in every dorm (for fun).

[Lili @bornskeptic89]

@WestsideLAGuy I once read that when the girl is better looking than the guy a relationship is more likely to last.
