Well to really nit Canadian dollar bills are Polymer and last at least 2.5 times longer than cotton-paper notes, saving money in processing and replacement costs. These notes combine transparency and holography to make for one-of-a-kind currency. That is a hologram along the right side.

Do you have the TicToc app on your phone? From what I understand, the CCP is listening.😱
I went on Zillow to look at some homes in another town, and we got a message on our answering machine every day for a week, from a mortgage company - a real friendly sounding guy who wanted to talk to us about offering us a mortgage. I am pretty sure I didn't leave a phone number.
Speaking about Zillow, one of my tennis friends here was a realtor and he had a nice side business buying up homes, fixing them up and selling them.
It worked until Zillow moved in, offered $5000 more for houses on the market, bought them, cleaned them up, and then rented them out or resold them, which raised the prices.
Where there is a will there's a way...someone will find a way to make more.
just curious: has anyone ever bought something using Alibaba? I'm about to buy a 2-post lift. Fingers crossed. I made sure to use a verified seller, and this one has an 8-yr history.

I just threw some cash into my Vanguard Savings account. Just wanted to warn you guys. Things don't usually go well when I move even a little bit of money.
that reminds me, I have money in a Vanguard money market account. I should probably check to see that it is actually paying some interest now! though that might depress me seeing what the total balance over there is now, so maybe I will just go back to ignoring it.
Biggest difference I have seen in a while between the Marathon RFG monopoly and others. Costco this morning was $2.599 for RUG and 3.259 for premium, while most others are 3.299-3.349 for regular which recently means at least $3.89 for premium. Cheapest I have seen in the metro for name brand is still $3.159, while Marathon in Frankfort (40 miles east, pretty sure it’s not reformulated) was $2.799 the other day.
BJs continues to be less expensive for PUG than Costco; not sure if that is one of the signs of the apocalypse. Two of my three online accounts are now paying over 4% on savings: SalemFiveDirect and MySavingsDirect (Emigrant Savings). Caveat for S5Direct: when rates go up (usually on Wednesday, you must contact them to have your account rate raised. Of course, when rates go down, no call required, they'll lower your rate automatically!). And, as a MA bank, the S5 account saves me a (very, very) few $ at MA state tax time.

It was squating a bit but not bad. It rode surprisingly well, very smooth, no pumping up and down or bottoming, it just glided along. We are only about 10 minutes from Lowes. I have a cargo net for all our vehicles. Very handy to have. If you’ll notice the two gray straps hanging down in the trunk, pull those down and they are hooks to hang grocery bags.
