I’m in my early 40s and with rising costs of everything I just can’t justify my monthly six-pack anymore. I wonder if they controlled for that?

Some highlights for me:

Any Anathallo show I went to

Mineral (both 2019 reunion and 2025 farewell show)

The Decemberists (Hazards of Love tour)

Local Honeymoon (new Philly band)

Future Islands 20th anniversary show in Baltimore

I am so so glad we found a place we could actually afford in late 2019 and we got a 4.75%. We’re stuck here now, but at least we can afford the mortgage.

I agree it is all about the flow, I even said in my comment I’d still have to keep working. It would help tremendously and take some pressure off us which mentally would feel like a breath of fresh air.

Believe it or not, I get where you’re coming from on this. I guess I’d just love to have 150K is all. 🤣

I’m 42 and in the US, I’d call 150K pretty close to life-changing for me. I could afford some large maintenance items on our house, pay down the mortgage by a good chunk, and not have to worry about some upcoming medical bills. Sure I’d still have to work but it would definitely have a huge positive change on my life going forward. 🤷‍♂️

Edit: and also beef up our emergency fund! All of this would make us ‘feel’ much more comfortable.

I live in the United States and I’m in my 40s; no idea who this is.

If this actually happens I wonder if USMCA eligible goods will still be exempt like they have been every time something like this gets implemented.
