Our Rules:

Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I don't know why you were downvoted, it's true. This isn't like a bootstraps judgement thing, this is just good advice- high yield savings accounts now are like 4% interest, so that's $200 / yr on that $5k.

When i got my first job, there was this older guy, Brad. older than the rest of us shithead teens i mean, like 25. He was pretty cool, but he had braces, which was unusual for someone his age.

The cinema we cleaned was in a fancier part of town. Brad and i were actually the only couple of dudes from the other side of the tracks. Not poor, right? But not fancy.

Anyway one day one of the other kids we worked with, a fancy chick called Kelly asked him

how come he had braces so late in life?

well, my family couldn't afford it.

Haha silly, wdym?

she said. continued

That's what insurance is for!
