    Need Help for a long time friend with spending issues.

    The difference is asking for money is different than asking for financial advice. Some people want money but don't want advice or to be told what to do. Unsolicited advice, especially about money, is rarely welcomed.

    Right, he asked for money, that's different than asking for financial advice.

    Money does buy happiness!

    Travel -> apprehensive

    Exactly. People who expect Covid to go away are living in a fantasy. I often hear people say..."When the pandemic is over I am going to...." And I ask "How will you know when it is over?" I haven't gotten a clear answer to that question yet.

    I am responding to the original post. I re-read it and I do not see a reference to a suppressed autoimmune system.

    Personal finance ignorance among the otherwise intelligent

    I was 18 or 19 years old and planning to buy my first car and I was talking to my uncle about my plans to get a car loan and pay it off as soon as possible because I don't like having loan payments, and he said "That's silly, you should always expect to have a car payment, that's a part of...

    Terrible North Miami Beach condo collapse

    In a case like this, there is no such thing as "instead of"... it will be alleged to be "in addition to"...and everyone and their brother related to that building will be sued... and enough evidence will be found to support all claims of negligence and all theories of liability, or at least move...
