"If you're worried about food tariffs".....how about you show up at your Congressman's fucking house and fucking yell at and berate him non-stop until he does his fucking job?

Fuck this "here's how to cope with an authoritarian takeover" shit.  How about "fuck that shit" as a response?

We’d been putting it off and probably would have waited longer, but we bought a new car a few weeks ago before any stupid shit had happened yet. At 1.99% APR, it felt like a great bet. Who knows what inflation will do over the next 4 years but prices are about to explode on commodities and we’ll know the full effect in about a year. Fucking 🤡

Damn, I should’ve done this.

It may not be too late. It could take a few weeks for tariffs to impact auto prices.

Streaming services is where I'd like to tighten the belt. My first target was Netflix but I received a lot of push back from my kid who apparently only likes Netflix and Disney+ and suggested I drop Hulu/ESPN+ which I use for live sports.

I rarely watch Netflix and figured it was a good service to drop but apparently it's one of the most popular streaming services with Gen-Z.

Bought a new Japanese vehicle at end of Feb and then replaced my six-year-old MacBook late last week. I feel pretty good about both of those decisions.

I kept telling my wife we need to buy the new car before the tariffs and she didn't believe me. I bought it anyways in January and look like a genius. She doesn't acknowledge it though, but I know.

Next up, go acquire your nubile young Swedish au pair, before tariffs drive her price up as well!

Any thoughts/experiences moving from traditional wireless plans to one of the prepaid plans?

I’m not a heavy data user, 10-15gb/month.   Rarely do hotspot, but may need it when I take my travel trailer out.   Looking at Mint, Total Wireless and US mobile.  
 

Curious if anyone here has done this?  I can lop off $60-70/month on a single line.

Why wouldn't you?

My wife is on T-Mobile and pays $50/mo.  I just got my daughter and phone and will probably put her on the Mint 15GB plan for $20/mo.

 

FYI, Mint is on the T-Mobile network, so coverage is good, and actually more reliable than Verizon, which is what my company uses.

This is another place I could cut, I am currently paying $300+ for AT&T.

I would need unlimited data. I am curious about how good is their internet speed.

I'm on Mint unlimited for $40 a month all in. Works fine everywhere and their international add-on plan is easy to use when I travel abroad. I like the absence of a contract and using my unlocked phone with it.
