Yes - but if you made $250K you'd not HAVE all those bills, right? 'Cause you're a reasonably smart, savvy money person.
I don't make $250k, but I have no kids and a fraction of the good Doctor's debt. I'm ok with this arrangement.
You non-kid guys... yer smrt. 
It’s a short term solution. As we age and lack family to care for us, things are gonna get expensive paying for ass-wiping help.You non-kid guys... yer smrt.

New year, new thread.
America’s CFOs Are Warning Of A Recession. Here’s Why That’s An Important Indicator
CFO sentiment can sometimes be a helpful indicator of looming market sell-offs.www.forbes.com
The stimulus was worth shit. It wasn't saved; it was spent. Most people saved money by not commuting and/or having kids at home vs. paying for childcare, and not spending on discretionary things because there weren't any they could do.
uh.......
Am I the only one that remembers campers, bikes, kayaks and everything else selling out and every honky in the country becoming an 'outdoorsman?'
Let’s not forget that CARES went well beyond the stimulus checks people got directly. There was a ton of money that went to various government and industry uses. I’m certain the funds meant to keep businesses floating along through lean times were pocketed by the owners and and spent on Peletons.
There are different extents of discretionary spending and by what income bracket. Not buying fast food, because you're not working or not going to the movies, etc. is very different when your income bracket is $30-50k vs $75-150k.
sure but you didn't differentiate
depending on who you're talking about there was way the hell MORE discretionary spending going on.....like on fuckin houses
Most of that PPE money was completely blown on people who didn't need it, and definitely spent it on discretionary things.
I asked a buddy of mine with a big truck he uses to haul things. He bought a prius about 2 months ago when he hit 230 bucks a tank on the beefcake 
I'm sure buying a different car that costs less to fill up will make it seem like he's saving money.I asked a buddy of mine with a big truck he uses to haul things. He bought a prius about 2 months ago when he hit 230 bucks a tank on the beefcake

I was looking at them too a few years ago when I got my 2500, thinking I would get rid of my tacoma. 6k wasn't that uncommon and is actually a lot of the reason I was looking at them.

Because people always want to praise or blame a president for gas prices, I had to find an article or two on the topic.

Can the President Control Gas Prices?
Gas prices are notoriously volatile. Does the president have any control over how much you pay at the pump?

Sure seems like it. Other than the still kinda unproven rivian, it's about the only electric that's every piqued my interest. Those things are badass and should have served as the model for all road cars over the last 10-15 years.
Think they'll trade for a mountainbike fork?
