Reply to Potential Marriage in jeopardy - dealing with six figure debt by [deleted]

Sounds like your not getting married any time soon. Anyone expecting the other person to be debt free as part of marriage is going to be waiting a very long time. Where does she draw the line? If you had a mortgage on a house, that is debt. Just start making payments as you can and calculate the payoff period. Then come back to her and tell her you can get married in 5~ years.

Reply to The Cost for an American to Comfortably Retire in Every State and Country, mapped by berrysardar

These amounts assume a retirement length of 15 years. Many people will live longer than 15 years if you for example, retire at 65. Not making past 80 years old is not something you want to count on. I personally know someone that did, and is dirt poor now as he burnt through his retirement in his 70s, buying gifts for people, splurging on grand kids etc. Unfortunate all around.

Reply to Anker recalls 535 Power Bank over fire safety concerns by GeT_Tilted

I still buy RAVPower power banks, despite Amazon banning them. Still make good products. Anker are nice since they are decent quality and next day delivery from Amazon. Ravpower still seems to dropship from amazon, which is kinda weird, but I'm told that the warehouse shipping didn't ban RAVPower just the webstore portion.

That is true. However the freezing point of salt water has a lower freezing point than fresh water so it would be about 28 degrees~

All cars up north die premature deaths anyway from corrosion, since no one cleans the undercarriages. They make hose attachments for it. If its -degrees sure you're probably not able to. But people don't do it on below freezing nights, and above freezing days either.
