  - NYC prices, yo -- nm - decline Mar 24, 08:18
- Sounds realistic, honestly. If they wanted to prioritize savings, there are places they could cut, for sure, and I'd hardly characterize it as - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 24, 08:08
- It's an excellent exercise in money management. -- nm - David's iPad Mar 24, 08:06
- There is so much crap in that budget. -- nm - Krusty Mar 24, 08:06
- well, yeah, you ass-hats. You're living in a $1.5M home, have $100K in cars and take $20K in vacations a year - decline Mar 24, 08:05 3
  - $42k on child care seems exorbitant. Could that be a live-in nanny? Also, two cars in Manhattan is unnecessary. -- nm - Krusty Mar 24, 08:07 2
    - That was one of the least surprising numbers for me, I assumed a live-in nanny. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 24, 08:09 1
      - So something that is also unnecessary. -- nm - Krusty Mar 24, 08:09
- it damn well better be satire.$18,000 a year in vacation is not in the 'life necessities' category. -- nm - Andie Mar 24, 08:03 7
  - It's not about need though, it's about feeling average. -- nm - Roger More Mar 24, 08:12 1
    - Which tells you how out of whack their idea of "average" is. -- nm - Reagen Mar 24, 08:13
  - 10k for life happens is funny too. - Will Hunting Mar 24, 08:07
  - Well, I think this is an observation of how it might be spent; not that the expenses are necessary. -- nm - mara Mar 24, 08:07 1
    - but the implication is that there is no choice for them. Um, yeah, there's plenty of choice there. -- nm - Andie Mar 24, 08:09
  - and $18,000 in charity donations (lovely, but again, not exactly a 'they have no choice' type expense. -- nm - Andie Mar 24, 08:06 1
    - But after the vacations, the piano lessons, eating, clothing and accessories (but not fancy ones), THEY HAVE NOTHING LEFT ANDREA -- nm* - ty97 Mar 24, 08:07
ST #overwhelmed Poll: How do you organize your tasks? -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Mar 24, 08:00 8
- I have a spreadsheet listing my recurring tasks that are monthly, recurring tasks that are weekly, & a current to-do list of stuff that's not recurrin -- nm - mara Mar 24, 08:08
- I scribble notes on sticks that sit in a pile on my desk and then ignore them -- nm - decline Mar 24, 08:06
- I turn each major task into a series of smaller, more achievable tasks. - David's iPad Mar 24, 08:04 2
  - "and then I tried to break that record" -- nm - Reagen Mar 24, 08:13
  - Take over Knoxville. Too tough. 1) Recruit better. *Gets Nathan*. Check -accomplished. 2) Take over Knoxville. Check. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 24, 08:09
- Lol, "organize". -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 24, 08:02
- i am big fan of the old fashioned to-do list, on a notepad. -- nm - Andie Mar 24, 08:01 1
  - Same. The only problem I have is finding where I last put the notepad. -- nm - Krusty Mar 24, 08:03
Great write-up from NYT on the stabbing of the black man by a racist white man earlier this week -- (link) - ty97 Mar 24, 07:49 4
- Took out a sword?!? -- nm - volnelk Mar 24, 07:56 3
  - There's a picture of it, it's small, not like the samurai type sword I was thinking of when I read it -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 08:02 2
    - (small for a sword, that is) -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 08:02 1
      - Still. 2 feet long. But yeahm when I read it, I thought samurai sword as well. -- nm - volnelk Mar 24, 08:08

Office debate picking up off a story in the national media today: The marriage lasted five years. Should alimony last a lifetime? - Name Withheld by Request Mar 24, 07:21 10
- No, I don't think lifetime spousal support should be a thing in most cases. - Beryllium Mar 24, 07:48
- i do believe it needs to be case by case, but my personal feeling is that lifetime alimony would be the wrong decision in the overwhelming majority of - Andie Mar 24, 07:33
- It's really up to what the parties agree and what the court decides. -- nm - Roger More Mar 24, 07:31 5
  - This is the point of the discussion. He's 45. The marriage was a mistake. No pre-nup, so it came down to the judge and he said lifetime alimony. - Name Withheld by Request Mar 24, 07:40 4
    - The general answer is 'no', and in this specific case on the facts in Blatchford's article, I'd support varying the court order. - Roger More Mar 24, 08:10
    - some decrees have alimony end if the person receiving it remarries. Was this part of the deal? -- nm - Diva Mar 24, 07:55 1
      - Doesn't look like the article mentions that. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Mar 24, 08:04
    - (And to be clear, this isn't child support payments. Just spousal support.) -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Mar 24, 07:41
- Depends on circumstances. In some marriages, a man would not have gotten his degree without the wife's help. Without the degree, his lifetime income - mara Mar 24, 07:29
- lifetime? no way, no how. -- nm - decline Mar 24, 07:23
