<t>They job industry is brainwashing our entire generation into working for free in the form of internships. Things that used to be paid, such as on the job training, are now unpaid. Interns are slaves and the whole system's ridiculous.<br/> Though, if you can only get employment in your field if yo...

<t>How much/whether you "need" shampoo also depends on the length of your hair. When my hair was much shorter (a year ago), I could get by with only some Dr Bronners soap, and probably could have just scrubbed really hard and gotten the same effect. Now that my hair's longer, shampoo + conditioner a...

<t>I don't understand how cloth wipes wouldn't be hygienic, if you only use them once and run them through a washing machine on high each time. Like cloth diapers. *shrug*<br/> Out of all the options, disposable tp seems the least hygienic. So much risk of tearing and getting some on your hands.<br/...

<t>"Why does every debate about choices such as ERE have to be "one size fits all"..i.e. what if every one did ERE? what if everyone ate/did not eat meat?..what if everyone drove a hybrid? etc. etc."<br/> To play devil's advocate... with every choice you make, you're saying, "THIS IS RIGHT."

<t>Since this thread was revived, here's a bit of an update.<br/> When I posted this three months ago, all of my friends were either finishing their college applications or anxiously awaiting their acceptance/rejection letters. More than anything, I think I just wanted to be "normal" and have the sa...

<t>In an inflation scenario, gold will carry the portfolio. In a hyperinflation scenario, gold will carry the portfolio. In a deflation scenario, long term treasury bonds and cash will carry the portfolio. I'm worried your compromising the portfolio and introducing more risk into the situation.<br/>...

<t>@JohnnyH: It sounds a little like you're speculating in currencies. If you're living in the US, making and spending money in USD, why keep your money outside of it?<br/> What is the "25% currency allocation" you're talking about?

<t>I think there needs to be some kind of differentiation between retirement and drawing on SS. I agree that SS shouldn't fund a 15-year vacation, and everyone should save for old age/the inability to work/traditional retirement. <br/> The fact that the retirement age is determined by the age at whi...

<t>@Robert: It's sane because I didn't buy the house XD. My dad did, and he would like to have a nicer, weed-free lawn, but has a bad back/can't do it himself, and can't afford landscapers.<br/> I understand some reasons for HOAs--for instance, in a neighborhood, there are common areas, such as play...
