I generally get Thai or Chinese refugees to feed me. It's pretty cheap.

Maybe. Probably. But my points about the huge emergency fund for young independents being excessive are super intelligent.

Yeah, it was sad. I even mentioned this thread to his Mom at the wake, suggesting that the personal finance thread he started on a poker forum was a legacy of sorts because who knows all the lives...
