Those don't include private loans which can be co-signed by parents if needed, nor do they include PLUS loans where parents also take out loans. Colleges are also quite helpful in what you need to do to be declared independent for fin

You're double counting the down payment and equity payment. It doesn't count against the profit of the simple $150k number unless you lower the mortgage balance which would increase the $150k to $214k.

Water rights are so complicated that they’d probably sell the water to the Central Valley before it ships to them. I think it very unlikely that they’d give them up.

Pumping is at cost to them, but irrigating they pay a whole $20 per acre foot from our local water district. The wells are used when they want more than allotted. Many of these canals are quite old and while they do require some maintenanc

And those are a tiny fraction of the cars on the road. Even then, there are police departments and delivery services using electric vehicles. I don't advocate 100% removal of ICE cars. A variety of solutions will likely be needed.

Cool. Glad we agree that you want the content but don’t want to provide what they’re asking for it, and that you don’t care.

I don’t care if you use an ad blocker, but that is most certainly allowing you to view content you want without providing the intended revenue to the provider. That is just the reality.

You don’t call telemarketers or solicit their services. That is quite a bit different than seeking out a websites content and circumventing the method that content provider chose to generate income.

Micro-transactions wouldn’t eliminate ads. How many years did people buy ad filled newspapers or magazines? How about paying for cable tv that channels show ads on in between tv show segments that also do in content ad placement? You’re

We bought a lot of books. An easy way to screen them is to go to target, or similar, and read them. They are short. Even then, kids like what they like, not always what you think is good.
