H110Hawk posted:Spoken like someone who can buy shoes "off the rack." I have giant feet, one foot is a 14.5 EEEE, the other is a 15 EE. they don't make half sizes above 13 generally so I wind up with 15 EEEE. I buy as many pairs of sneakers as I can at once and store them because shoe buying is a nightmare. Also I assume you mean simply calendar days longer, not that you get more net wears out of them, because if so I'm going to go open up my 2 backup pairs right now. You get more net days out of them because they have a chance to air out, instead of just accumulating sweat every day. I'd personally alternate between two pairs.

It's also good to alternate if you're prone to foot pain. Different pairs of shoes even of the same general style fit your feet slightly differently, so you end up using muscles slightly differently and varying all the pressure points.

I have 50k term on my kid through work for like a dollar a month. If the kids dies, it'll pay for funeral plus the years of therapy I'll need, and I can afford to take a leave of absence. Why is that insane?

If your employer is paying 95% of the cost then sure whatever, which is true of most things.

He also figured he wouldn't bother to fix the roof if it leaked because he wasn't concerned about "creature comfort."

Parallel Paraplegic posted:I love the creepy Gerber Term Life commercials, get your child a head start by getting them... life insurance... But it kind of does. The Gerber's system, at least, lets the kid keep the policy as an adult no matter their employment or health status. That could really be a boon for someone with a health issue that presents in childhood, or who starts their own business right out of school or goes into contract jobs while they have their own young dependents.

It's like that Colonial Life insurance. Like Gerber, it really is a terrible deal unless that's all you can get. Then it's not so bad.

I'd imagine houseboats would be similar to RV's and mobile homes in regards to depreciation, compared to a real house.
