If you want cash back, there’s a Citi double cash card that I’ve heard good things about that has 2% cash back (the highest cash back % I’ve seen for people just getting started with credit).
Second, if you want to travel and don’t mind accumulating points, get an airline’s card. AA was running a special last I checked that if you spend 3k in the first 3 months (that’s nothing tbh if you’re running most of your spending through one card) you get 60k points, which is roughly a flight to London (depending on pricing and availability).
I’ve also typically run with a Discover card with the 5% categories that Ellis described. Every quarter you get new categories on what you get 5% for, and typically it lines up well with the seasons. This past Q4 for example, you would have gotten 5% back at Amazon and department stores, so you get a little kickback for Christmas shopping which is nice.
Shout out to Mint.com – been using that site since college to track spending and aggregate all of your financial information into one spot. 10/10, recommend to everyone.
x2 – emergency fund of about 6 months will cover most people. Coming up with a budget helps with determining an emergency fund too, so #synergy with the article.
“I’ll just go fuck myself” – Not a parent yet but i can already tell this is going to be my internal monologue when i ask what future Clay Jr. wants for dinner.
Should’ve scrolled to see someone else touting SE. I definitely check their site anytime I’m in the mood to cook something beyond the standard chicken breast/meal prep bowl.
Serious Eats is my go to for this reason. They’ll have a long, in depth post about the why’s and how’s of the recipe, or you can click a link right after the first summary paragraph in most articles that takes you to a page with just the recipe and no fluff.
Note: SE is not for the people that can’t turn on an oven or cook rice, there’s definitely a certain level of cooking experience that you need to meet because a lot of their recipes go way beyond a typical weeknight recipe.
Those are work gloves. If I see a dude step out in the street wearing gloves like those, I’m going to assume he’s working on tearing out some drywall and that he only drinks Bud Heavy’s. 50/50 that he smokes a pack a day too.
Unless you’re lactose intolerant or vegan, almond milk is bullshit. Way worse macro profile than regular milk, having virtually no protein. Also, its only 50 or 60 cal’s less than 2%, and if 50 cal’s are going to fuck up your diet for the day, rethink your diet. Also it tastes bad and you should feel bad for buying it in the first place.
I would argue that Nebraska is a distant third there, and Kentucky would be pretty decent probably. Kentucky = Derby, Bourbon, Mountains in the eastern part, decent BBQ, and Missouri has a couple of decent cities as well as really good BBQ, and low cost of living. Nebraska’s biggest attraction is Omaha/College World Series.

Can we get a TGDAG-style flowchart of characters? Would be much appreciated.
Alright, well, fuck me then for trying to not feel like death.
Rule #1: Don’t.
Rule #2: If you break rule #1, stock up on Pedialyte and pray.
That’s actually phenomenal, thanks for the rec

Oh, Sally has a burner account that slipped through; cool.

…is it just me or does this read like you named your gun “dildo”?
How did you comment then? Genuinely curious how to comment without opening.

More like PapaNO, amirite? (I’ll see myself out)

Sounds way better than the baked chicken I brought today.
