understandable
Couldn't get any roommates?
Moreso that I didn't have to
And didn't want to
I get that
I'm not rich or anything, it's just that I live in a rural area, so rent is cheap enough that it's not really that big of an issue
I might get roommates once my lease ends, since I have a friend here now who is in a similar situation. But I would never become roommates with a stranger.
@Jacob Dave Ramsey, the home budgeting master, has an app to track spending that does not require linking a bank account.

Dave Ramsey is cool because he puts the most obvious, common sense financial literacy into the simplest of terms
@Tanner - SC thanks for sharing that, I had no idea he had an app.
Has anyone taken the insurance exam? Any idea of what to expect?
IIRC I think @ophiuchus has

@ThisIsChris Thanks Chris!
@SamanthaM you're welcome!
Tl;dr I’ve got a bunch of damage, could’ve been much much worse. I’ve got homeowners insurance, and wind/hail. I have filed a claim and the adjuster is coming in the morning.
My question is, does anyone have any experience applying with FEMA for disaster assistance or an SBA loan? I’m very reluctant to apply for any kind of assistance, I’m also worried about getting myself in a bind financially. Even with insurance, i simply cannot afford several thousand dollars in extra cost/deductible. I am the sole provider currently, as my wife stays home with our 2 year old son and 5 month old daughter. We do not spend frivolously, and we’ve got a small savings, which I would rather not erase completely on a deductible and miscellaneous cleanup costs. The FEMA website certainly makes it very clear that even “undocumented immigrants” can receive assistance if they have a “child who is a citizen” but I have a sneaking suspicion that any gov’t funds will be prioritized for basically everyone besides white taxpaying families.
I apologize for the wall of text, I’ve never filed an insurance claim before, and I certainly don’t want to let my insurance company get away with not taking care of my home.
@ThisIsChris You think he'll be confirmed?
@Jacob absolutely, he had 55-56 senators lined up before the harassment allegations, and they've all fallen apart now. No one is willing to confirm any of them, not even the accusers, and Kavanaugh actually has documentation he couldn't have even been at the parties where these events allegedly happened.
All that's left now is some cope posting by the media, Republican leadership have been playing this very tactfully always being beyond respectful of the accusers, and have still scheduled their vote for Friday. Senate cloture rules require them to allow 30 hours for debate which will mean the real vote will probably happen Saturday afternoon
@Jacob I wrote this in another server : Looking to act on a Kavanaugh confirmation vote. Unfortunately for the purpose of trading on a post-confirmation-vote rally, the vote will probably happen while markets aren't open over the weekend. Senate Cloture rules allow McConnell to limit debate to just 30 more hours after a cloture petition is approved. Such a petition wouldn't be approved until after the Ford/Kavanaugh hearings Thursday afternoon. The last broad-market instrument to trade (broad-market ETFs) stops trading 8pm EST on Friday, 30 hours prior to that being 2pm EST Thursday. Unless Christene Ford announces she's not going to testify today or tomorrow, then Cloture won't happen until after Friday 8pm EST, but it has to happen before October 1st to count for the next Supreme Court session. It could be possible for the senate to vote on Kavanaugh around the open of Futures on Sunday evening, but this is also unlikely because last minute votes are the result of hardline negotiation tactics (like for budget bills). I haven't seen any senators trying to horse-trade their vote for Kavanaugh, so this is likely to be an up-or-down vote as soon as the minimum debate time expires Friday night or on Saturday. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloture#Procedure

Haven’t used PredictIt before. Good suggestion!
@Tanner - SC here yes!
I misunderstood. The Friday vote was simply a vote on whether or not to vote on Saturday. This is clown world. And regarding the Saturday vote ...
