You’re fine. Your loan is not crazy nor is impacting your financial status. 400/mo is not unreasonable. Relax and enjoy your car.

Love to read history and biographies as it provides interesting insights on people and events. Want to read about politicians, start with Tacitus and discover that Roman politics is not very different from today. Wars and their causes are often repeated and rooted in a historical past.

Reach out to the Humane Society. They have people and lawyers that will assist you in setting up the necessary procedures and paperwork to leave your estate to them.

An FSB officer with morality doesn’t exist. Send them all back.

Always thought the story was a work of satire directed towards the monarchy and the attitudes of people in the Victorian age.

The book is a philosophical treatise wrapped within a novel.

The data also shows that children whose parents were high achievers aka smart, created home environments that benefited their offspring in schooling. These children performed better in school as a result of genetics and environment. Since the age range of the study is confined, it is possible the effect can lessen or remain. Anecdotally, young adult high achievers tend to have parents who are as well.

The original could have been slashed by an hour. The first half is interesting but the last is a muddled mess with Marlon Brando blathering psychobabble. The film was influenced by Heart of Darkness by Conrad.

Historically higher rates of violations. So they get extra attention.

Great book. Agree on the recommendation. I would also add The Last Place on Earth by Huntford. Race to the South Pole between Scott and Amundsen.

Except that no one has shown that bats were the actual vector in Wuhan. The fact that a source reservoir was not been identified also throws into question that the “market” was the site of the outbreak. The presence of a lab in Wuhan, doing gain of function research on the Covid virus, is the most logical source of the virus. Occum’s Razor

Get ready to see mom and grandma getting sued as they are the legal owners of the vehicle that was underinsured. They allowed an unlicensed driver to operate the vehicle, which invalidated the coverage of the insurance which is probably why the insurance company won’t provide coverage.

Operation Overlord. The invasion of Normandy.

Agreed. It’s that it is very common to see many investors to panic when their fund declines in value as has happened recently. In 2009-2010, my 401k dropped 60% and my coworkers were absolutely freaking out. I maxed out my contributions and benefited when the market recovered. This is a similar junction and if the OP has the ability to contribute more, then he should do so.

When the share value drops in your fund, this is the time to invest more into the fund. The fund will recover and since you bought shares when they were cheap, you will see a greater return when the fund recovers.

Just curious. Does your dad have any assets or income that can be used to help with the purchase or with the mortgage?

Replace the cat and then sell the car. Cat's normally don't go bad on their own. The car has another issue that is causing either oil or a lot of unburned gas to enter the cat and causing a build up of crud, which causes the cat to fail.
