Honestly, even if they're not leaving permanently, who knows how much longer the Smithsonian will last if things keep going the way they are.
Yeah, I don't necessarily agree with the game, but since we're in it, I play it. All of my purchases go on credit cards. But I never spend money I don't have, and I pay the statement balance in full every month so I'm never charged interest. The only time I don't pay the full statement balance is when I buy a new phone since I have the store card with 0% financing. But anything else, never ever ever carry a balance.
It sucks because it's basically a benefit for people who have good executive functioning and financial literacy, paid for by those who don't. It's a benefit I only get because big banks prey on poor people.
Yeah and average age of credit is a positive factor too. Basically reset that with every one they cancelled.
To build credit 🙃

I've never taken concerta but I have taken a different SNRI and I'd start to feel like utter shit by the afternoon if I forgot to take it in the morning. I would be way more worried about skipping an SNRI than a stimulant, personally.
I don't do drug holidays. I know a lot of people do, but I just can't function. It makes sense that when you don't take the medicine that helps you function, it's really hard to function.
Hey, we're all clueless about things sometimes right! 😅 💖
What you said about the fear-based stocking up is so real. It's an easy way to try to feel like you're in control when you have suffered from food insecurity in the past or when you're nervous about the state of the world generally. It makes total sense that you had that experience!
The point I was trying to make is that pre-determining the ingredients you need to buy will end up costing you money rather than making the meals based on what is currently discounted and cheap.
Yep, I got your point! I was agreeing with it, then adding my own thoughts about what I think is a complementary technique of stocking up on staples.
Re: poverty, I definitely agree with the sentiment of not beating yourself up by trying to optimize grocery habits when you're in survival mode. However, frugality is not lock-stepped with poverty. Since OP didn't mention living in poverty but was asking for cheap and healthy meal planning tips, I shared my thoughts on that.
Storing extra food can easily become wasteful if you don't do it mindfully. Buy what you use and use what you buy. Research take storage precautions to extend shelf life like I mentioned in my post (and your good point about pests!). In my experience, when you approach it like this, it's a great way to live more frugally by taking advantage of bulk discounts and sales. So personally, I disagree with the idea that stocking up is a bad thing.
Aside from reasons of frugality, it's nice to know you have a good amount of calories in your house in the case of, for example, a global pandemic. I know that's not the topic here, but just pointing out that there are other good reasons to store food.
This is not true for plenty of people. Antidepressants saved my life, and I still feel things.
Life is pretty good, people are nice, food is great. This is not true for many, many people.
How can someone be in the same socioeconomic class with someone who makes $100k more than them per year? Both of those people cannot be middle class whatever that means anymore

See, I'm going to sound like an old man yelling at a cloud but I feel like having a phone to make school more tolerable isn't the answer. If a kid is having social problems, letting them escape via their phone isn't going to help develop those or avoid bullying. Letting that be the escape is a copout for adults who need to raise and teach the kids how to human.
If they do have friends and social skills, lunch, long lines, etc. are good times to practice just being present with the people around them, or quietly in their own head. The constant drip line of available distractions is changing our brains, and I don't think it's for the better.
