Reply to comment by noonewonone in LPT: Hourly wage multiplied by 2,000 is your yearly income by [deleted]
I got promoted to salary but only work 35 hours, when I previously worked 37.5 hours as an hourly person. Definitely worth checking, but salary doesn’t always mean “work more”. In fact, since I get paid breaks I’m actually paid for more than 35 hours while on salary, but only work 35.
On hourly, I worked 37.5 and got paid for 37.5.

Only if you put loose bread, which only psychopaths do. Everyone else keeps bread in the bag they bought it in.

If you go long enough, it becomes an automatic habit. You just have to power through until then.

Reply to comment by timmyboyoyo in LPT: When calculating something such as rent or pay, a month is 4.345 weeks by MikeTorsson
There are 12 months in a year and you get paid every 2 weeks. So you might think “Oh that means I get paid 24 times a year”, since 2 weeks is about 1 month”. But that’s wrong because 2 weeks is not 1 month, it’s only 28 days. And biweekly pay actually results in 26 pays per month, not 24.
So you should be getting paid twice a month for about 10 months, and for 2 months in the year you’ll get 3 payments. For example, if you got paid January first, you’d also get paid on January 15th and January 29th. That’s 3 payments in a single month. That should happen twice a year.

Reply to comment by LuckyandBrownie in LPT: When debating or arguing with someone and it’s going nowhere, ask them, “What evidence would it take for you to consider that you’re wrong?” If they say “Nothing,” then it’s time to end the conversation. by blowfishmo
I don’t believe in God, but if God simply showed himself and started bringing the dead back to life, that may convince me. Or if I had a 50 digit number written on a piece of paper in my pocket, and he could recite it to me, that would potentially be convincing.
Or I don’t believe in the existence of unicorns. But if I were to see a real life unicorn and upon scientific analysis, could confirm it isn’t a horse with a superglued horn in it, and that this unicorn could reproduce with other unicorns over several generations to create new unicorns, and that I could see the birth of a new unicorn with the horn, that would convince me that unicorns exist.
Your statement is completely wrong. It’s entirely possible to be aware of what would convince you, without actually being convinced if it beforehand.

Reply to comment by Chris_ssj2 in LPT: A good financial habit to get into is treating money as hours of work. Ask yourself how many hours of work something would take if you buy it. The awareness of the amount of time you put into purchases helps reduce compulsive spending. by humvee911
Basically as your income increases, so do your expenses. As you get more salary; you also eat out at, buy a more expensive car, a bigger house, more expensive drinks, more expensive restaurants, etc...

I got a new job that’s paying 25k more than my previous one. I’m willing to deal with the downside of occasionally having to scrape my car, for an extra 25k a year.

Reply to [Image] "Being brave" ~ Neil Gaiman by Butterflies_Books
The way I’ve always understood it, bravery is when you aren’t scared of something that should inspire fear in you.
While courage is being afraid of something, but still doing what needs to be done anyway.

I literally only have 1 account, and it’s this one. Stop randomly making shit up. Everyone who sees your comments is losing brain cells. Stop lying. Stop randomly making shit up. We can literally see your previous comments. No point in lying...

Hard to be constant when you’re starving or unable to provide for yourself or your family. In order to be content, you need to have made a certain amount of progress already.

Notice how when your cereal is done, there’s a bunch of cereal dust left over? This prevents that from happening, as it gets distributed more evenly throughout the intact cereal.

That’s like half of minimum wage where I live, also you may have only worked 6-7.5 hour shifts instead of 8 hour shifts. Or maybe you didn’t work 5 days a week.
