I read that half of Americans couldn’t cover an unexpected $1,000 expense. This sounds crazy to me. I understand that poverty exists, but the idea that an adult with a job doesn’t even have that amount saved up seems really strange.

What’s your relationship or philosophy with money? What do you credit for your financial success, or alternatively, what do you blame for your failures?

For the extra brave ones: how much savings do you have, and what are you planning to do with them?

      Purchase some carbon reduction.

      These guys have giant CCS machines. When you send them money (which they use to fund their operations), they calculate what share of carbon reductions you’ve funded and they give you a certificate for it. It is NOT a carbon offset. They pull carbon out of the air directly and bury it in the ground.
