There was a time when replacing a hot water tank wasn’t overly expensive. When the old tank corroded and wore out, I’d simply head to the local big box store, buy a new one and install it. A new tank-style water heater was approximately $100. The price has risen considerably in recent years. Now, a

I feel I’m one of those people who is pretty difficult on themselves. I never think that the things I’ve accomplished are impressive or noteworthy. I never have a long afternoon and tell myself that “I deserve” to reward myself in any way. Even when I have nothing on my agenda I can’t even give

Periodically I absolutely worry about my family. I know that they aren’t healthy people but they also seem to be increasingly dysfunctional and delusional.

I can say with confidence that however I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up, I legitimately don’t want to do it in an office. I’ve only learned this recently, after having left my cushy state task for a less luxurious position working from house for independent companys. Sure, I

I’m sure everyone has heard that phrase – moderation is key. It usually refers to people’s health habits, such as what and how much they are eating and drinking, but I’m now finding that this sentiment relates to most things in life.

I’ve never been so lucky as to have my own washing plus drying machine, but for the past six years I’ve lived in property buildings which had two janky washers plus dryers in the basement, plus cost a ton to operate. I would legitimately spend $5 to do a load of laundry, especially factoring in
