In that case, before this is out of PI and this is not allowed: We paid for several rats to get $250-$400 tumor removing surgeries, in one case more than once. They were good rats, even though they only lived a couple years still. They are pretty much tumor factories though despite being awesome, no more pet rats for us. Next week we pay $1800 for a neuter and stomach-staple thing for our giant dog to avoid bloat, totally worth it. all rats and the dog are/were delocratic socialists sadus fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Feb 1, 2019 |

Switchback posted:Do not defend him. You self-post in the BWM thread, you get ridicule. I hope my post did not come off as defending him. That was not my intention. GoGoGadgetChris posted:None of my guns are for home protection. They're all for target shooting at different distances and disciplines (note the full size irons, full size optics, revolver) or personal self defense (the sub compact). The superfluous gun is probably the p229 in the safe! Why .357 for target shooting a revolver? .38 or especially .40 or 9mm would be cheaper, and of course .22 would be vastly cheaper as well as lighter. Also lol personal self defense with a gun. You are just gonna get shot by a cop or maybe a fellow hero while you're trying to save the day. But that's BWL, not BWM? Ehh, a taser or pepper spray is a lot cheaper so BWM too.

No pocket pistol. Glock 26, a subcompact. I don't "daily carry" because I think it's dumb, personally, and I work at a computer in an office so that would be a terrible decision. I carry it for field work, which involves being alone on 1,000+ acre ranches, with no other people for miles and zero cell reception. Peace of mind, I guess? EDIT: Lol, definitely not for bears, for a variety of reasons. And camping sucks.

So why use guns for self defence instead of like a bulletproof vest if you need to be safe from other people ?

**literally sprinting into thread** My co-worker TURNED DOWN a $2000.00 bonus because it put him into the next tax bracket quote:There has been a lot of misinformation on credible news sources regarding ways to "avoid moving into the next tax bracket". I've seen things about putting your money in a 401k, and IRA, an insurance fund. These aren't bad ideas, but they won't help you pay less taxes on the rest of your taxable income. If you live in the US, please educate yourself on the marginal tax system before listening to any of these articles.

GF saddled with extensive vet bills after unsuccessful surgery for her cat.

My mom lives in a place where her rent is based on her AGI. She has a 401k through work, they will even match a percentage, but she puts almost no money in it. And yes, she knows that 401k contributions lower your AGI. She "can't afford it" despite having a $300 car payment.

FYI and not touching the rest of that conversation for now you can get cheap firearms insurance. Even when homeowners covers them (I know USAA does for example,YMMV and read your policies) it tends to be fairly low. So, if you have more than just a gun or two it’s very GWM to get a policy. It’s not just theft - house fires will make even the surviving bits of guns unsafe to use.

My last job offered it, I never opted in since I don't have the kind of pet that gets routine shots or a yearly checkup. It wasn't a terrible deal, something like $15/mo per pet premium and then you'd pay 20% of the bill after deductible? GWM for some.

My dumb brother-in-law gets paid every two weeks. He buys an XboxOne with the first paycheck each month, but when his second check of the month comes, it’s not enough to cover their bills, so he trades the Xbox in to Gamestop for cash. He’s done this every month for over a year
