To a chili purist, that's like saying you've been a real man but since learning about estrogen pills you're thinking about batting for the other team...I have been eating chili without beans. Then, recently I learned about Beano, so I may try beans again.
I'm looking for it now, hope to buy today or tomorrow.
There are medical people who keep saying too much red meat is bad for you. And as I am getting older, and after the health scare I have had, I have to be more careful.To a chili purist, that's like saying you've been a real man but since learning about estrogen pills you're thinking about batting for the other team...
You apparently did not see my post elsewhere about giving my daughter the 20% down payment for her home (not this year), nor my giving 0.5%WR to charity this year out of the 3.5% WR. How often do I have to brag about these?
Other igestive enzymes help without the Beano downside. Or, you can soak the beans for a day before cooking. Should be fine.I have been eating chili without beans. Then, recently I learned about Beano, so I may try beans again.
FIFY
Even with an economy car, you're still looking at over 20k for those three items. And that only put you 2% over plan

Besides Red Cross, I donate mostly to a couple of small foreign organizations that do charity work in poor places such as Burma. My sister-in-law has vetted these organizations. I do not even claim tax deduction, as I am not sure about the IRS rule. It may not recognize these unknown foreign organizations.
When I did not feel flush, I did not donate much either.

It could be that some people are withdrawing the same amount each year (adjusted for inflation, or not, as the case may be) and keeping an "unofficial" float in checking or savings which they don't consider part of their overall net worth. It could also be that in years for which there isn't a single big ticket item, there are several medium ticket items, which have the effect of smoothing the overall spending from year to year. I think that many of us actively attempt to keep our spending relatively even by employing thinking along the lines of, "We had an expensive A/C repair this year, so we'll vacation locally instead of going further afield," or, "There were no major expenses this year, so we'll treat ourselves to that new tablet we've been coveting, and that fancy digital camera." Admittedly, you'd have to employ an awful lot of this type of thinking to smooth out the effects of a car purchase and I'm not suggesting that's the case, but with the exception of the very large ticket items, they could serve as partial explanations.
Right. I was passing along a message from DW who says Beano has lots of fillers that might irritate the sensitive individual.
Beano is the trade name of a supplement containing Alpha galactosidase, an enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrates including one whose name I forget that no human can digest, yet is present in beans and vegetables such as cauliflower and broccoli.
I just found out that it has gluten. However, I am not a celiac, so it works so far.
You too?
In my case, there's really no withdraw per se. Every account is on my Quicken screen, except for the HSA account, so that I see my total investable asset at all times. I transfer money from taxable brokerage accounts to my checking account as needed. Every so often, I would call up the Quicken expense window to see what my expenses were for the past 12 months. The idea is to catch lifestyle creep before it gets out of hand.
