More expensive drugs.. you’re probably right. :)

My university education was $45,000 on its own. I would hate to see what private for both primary and secondary education along with university would cost...

That is definitely true. Glad to see you’re still here. Hope you’ve been well.

They’re actually reasonably comfortable financially. But possibly being careful with their money so that they can afford a second child as well.

My niece received a full scholarship to a religious private school. They can be insanely expensive.

Well said. I was about to comment that the 7 day pay out window discourages evergreen content However you stated this in a much better way here.

I’ve tried leaving a few times now. It doesn’t work. Once you’re here you’re stuck forever.

What’s a jessinvestor?

I’ve always felt more comfortable owning the home I live in. But there are arguments for and against home ownership. It‘s personal preference really.

Do you know of any posts that describe how to set up a Leo node? I’d be curious about giving it a shot if it is cost effective.

Congrats on (almost) being debt free. It’s an amazing feeling. I’m in a similar position despite my incredibly large mortgage. I’m so glad to see you still posting on Hive/Leofinance. I’ve always lingered

I guess the last year did feel like 10 for many people...

Great initiative mate. I did something similar back in the day when I had a lot more hive than I currently do. Unfortunately I hit some difficult times financially and had to power down. I’m back to rebuild

Oh just saw this. Glad you had some help to confirm it was dodgy content.

I’ve only had a cursory look over one of the posts however they read as if the “author” has converted content from a different language to English. So they could be a copy and paste job with a language

Was it really only last year when we moved to Hive?? Seems like ages ago...

Shoosh you! :P

Thanks mate. I’ve tried the high risk strategies before. It’s all about sensible strategies now.

5 years!? That sounds way too long lol... but the wife has set the same timeframe...

I suspect that I might be heading towards that transition point now. You make some good points. Nice to hear from you. :)
