I use both, as the waterhogs capture the muck & grime.

Point being, removing liners can sometimes be tricky (depending on how fitted they are), if they're stiff or soft, etc. Most cars manage day to day moisture fine without being an issue.

The moisture is there when you bring it in on your shoes, regardless of if it's in a puddle on your floor liners or in water hog mats. However, when it's in water hog mats, it has more surface area leading to more evaporation which then cycles out more quickly with running your car heater.

I have floor liners and winter specific car mats. To each their own.

I invested in husky floor liners for the vehicle and then swap car mats depending on season.

They make car specific ones and they soak up all of the water well

You can put money ( up to $6k a yr) into your own IRA, and pick investments.
If you have an employer that participates (sponsors) a retirement account ( often matching up to a certai npercentage that you deposit every paycheck) is a 401k

$46k at 27 isn't bad, but have some goals of where you realistically want to be at 35 and figure out:
A. If your current career path will get you there
B. What changes you'll need to start making to get there
C. How do you start putting towards retirement

It's not about population, but geography. Maine is a big state and there's a lot of distance from the bottom to the top (5 hours driving). Presque Isle and all of northern Maine is remote and you will likely experience some level of culture shock. There's no way around that, but depending on who you are, it could be an interesting experience.

Reply to How do you pronounce 'Scallop'? by bleahdeebleah
I say it both ways. No rhyme or reason. I'm originally from the south, so I think I said it more like "pal" with the short a, but I've been living here for 20 years, so now I seem to pronounce it in a hybrid way

But they aren't meant for snow, etc. They were originally meant to be "silent" when walking through the forest and waterproof. They deliver on both fronts.
