George hit the nail on the head. "at some point we have to do what we don't want to do " I constantly hear these excuses about all the reasons people cannot do things, not just about finances. It all boils down to people just not wanting to do things that make them uncomfortable. It stinks, but at times in life we have to just do it. It will be a hassle, hard, frustrating and uncomfortable. If work was fun, you would not get paid. I was a restaurant manager for 20 years. I worked 60 plus hours a week and was a single mother. I enjoyed the job, but the hours stunk. It was hard, it was a struggle, but, I had to take care of my kids, so I did it. I live in Texas and I HATE mowing my lawn. It is so hot. Each week I am out there with a mower and mowing that lawn. I could make every excuse to spend the money on a service, but, I just shut up the talk in my head and go do it. This sounds like a small example, but, we are faced with a series of all these things each day, just shut out that conversation in your head and get it done. Success comes to those who hate doing things and do them anyhow.

For full time (32 hrs a week) benefits including PTO, holiday pay, insurance and help towards further education are standard.

[@NWcpl]

@@jesselarson2570 Because George said that you should only pull 4% from retirement and Dave lost his shit over it and ranted live on his show about what idiot says that. It goes against Daves 8% or more rule. Which the entire investment industry agreed with George's statement on his show. It's all over YT about dave sticking with what he really knows which is becoming debt free not investing and return pulls in retirement.

[@ryankiel4895]

I'm worried about him. Dave might fire him at any minute. George is suffering right now, he looks nervous and not his normal self. I hope he keeps doing the right thing even though Dave can get a little nutty.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

That's not honest. Being honest would be to say that you should not pull any more than 1% from retirement. If you want to enjoy money in retirement you'd better create lifelong income sources. @@NWcpl

As a therapist listening to this, she needs some counseling . It’s normal to feel like nothing is possible when so many things pile up. She just needs someone to sit with her and help her find solutions and get some momentum. ❤

[@gailhoover9263]

Actually, she said she was working 60-70 hrs. weekly and making 60k. She'd be better off being a c.n.a. making 50k. Then she could pick up a part time job and make another 20k or even more. So 75k in same number working hrs.

If the pipes bust internally, the insurance is usually required to cover that from what I understand. Anyone know differently?

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

IF they had insurance. An insurance rep would have come out to inspect the damage; a burst pipe looks very different than a pipe that may have corroded or rusted away. It seems to be a racket that people claim a burst pipe, have an emergency plumber assess as a "burst pipe" and repair the damage but not document it (e.g., images), and then the plumber is paid through the insurer. If the insurance rep beats the plumber to the damage, the homeowner is on the hook if the pipes are not actually burst.

[@aolvaar8792]

Exceptions to coverage: aluminum wiring, Poly ButaD piping
