  • Clear was kinda bullshit, and how it was cost effective to have agents “selling” you on the service at the airport.

    Is bullshit. They’re expanding it. I was in the Orlando airport a few months ago waiting in the long ass TSA lines while Clear employees went to everyone in line offering a free trial and “you don’t have to wait in this line.” It’s fucking insane that the government can create these delays with the TSA and then goad people into signing up for an expensive service with a private company to bypass the very problem that they created. Says a lot about the “security” too when you can just skip it by ponying up a little bit of cash.






  • I got a STEM degree that didn’t require any financial classes. I learned all that on my own once I started making adult money at nearly 30. I see (quite a lot of) others in my same boat who didn’t bother and are making six figures while living paycheck to paycheck still. The last round of layoffs were quite a shock to these people.

    I’ll give big credit to my parents who also never saved a dollar and gave me the fire inside to never allow myself to wind up in the same position after seeing the disastrous results of said decisions.

    Edit: funny that a CJ degree is mentioned as my aunt and her (trash of a human being) prison guard husband took out a $500k loan to remodel their $250k house. They got divorced last year and still can’t sell that house. He lives in Florida now and she moved into a trailer park.
