woldemariam··on uBlock Origin 1.20
Is there a way to increase the font in firefox? Maybe an addon? That is my only gripe with it. I know I can use Reader mode and even increase the font at the OS level but I would rather not do that.

woldemariam··on Think Dave Ramsey Gives Great Advice? Think Again
The biggest issue with Dave Ramsey is his investing advice. He recommends investing in mutual funds that are actively managed and to judge a fund based on past performance [0].

I don't agree with Dave Ramsey's investing advice but I 100% agree with his getting out of debt advice. In 2014, I landing a job paying $80,000 a year. At the time I had $30,000 in student loans. I followed Dave Ramsey's advice; I threw nearly all my income at my debt, anywhere from $3000-$3500 a month. It took my a year to finish paying it off. Half way through the process, I had to take a break for two months to replace my car (I got a used Prius for $7000). Through it all what kept me going was listening to his radio program.

Debt it dumb, cash is king.

woldemariam··on Are SUVs Ruining Retirement Savings?
I am guilty of this, except with Dunkin. Over the last few years, I have purchased at least five coffee machines trying to make coffee that is as good but I haven't been able to. I am a coffee addict; if I don't have coffee in the morning, I get a headache.
