You aren’t entirely wrong. Most items at bulk clubs aren’t cheaper than other stores, just bigger. There’s generally a handful of items worth getting, and everything else should be avoided. Also Costco is usually more expensive, because they have random products that are organic, non-gmo, artisan things that cost more without good justification.
You ever see a dog that’s got its leash tangled the long way round a table leg, and it just cannot grasp what the problem is or how to fix it? It can see all the components laid out in front of it, but it’s never going to make the connection....
It’s just what happens when wax deforms from pressure. You can do the same thing with plastic straws, if you pack them tightly, or compress them with your hands.
You probably wouldn’t need laundered crypto, but you would need to be able to hide it from the bankruptcy court. This only works if you can clear the credit card debt.
It’s probably just marketing, the super high stack is visible from far away and advertisers many available colors. If one catches your eye, you then have to walk through a bunch of other aisles to actually get to the towels. It’s like putting the milk at the back of the grocery store.
It’s really not bad if all you do is work regular jobs, even a lot of them. The problem is Americans are shit at reading and math so they don’t understand directions well. Companies benefit from making it seem complicated though.
If you own your own business taxes are a huge pain, because you have to do all the stuff employers do, like payroll taxes.
If you are part of the ~13% that benefit from itemizing on your taxes, it’s also more complicated.
Which the IRS has acted on, and most these platforms have to send documents to the IRS for anyone that crosses a certain threshold. They are going to have to prove it isn’t income or claim it.
People over complicate baking. It’s mostly just managing the ratio of wet and dry ingredients. The more you bake the more you recognize what looks right. Many older recipes are written, to just add flour until it’s right.
Honestly the biggest problem people have with baking is probably not having a properly heated oven, and cooking too long or short.
Water cooling is just air cooling that moves the fan. If you have a crappy radiator, you aren’t going to get great cooling. Water is a great way to move heat, which is why we use it for cars, heating, and power production.
If you aren’t comfortable with managing repairs, walk away. The repairs will likely take months and can be very disruptive.
It sounds like there are some very pricey repairs, chimneys are generally expensive and require specialized masons. Replacing windows can be expensive, but if the house doesn’t have double pane windows, the insulation benefits can offset the cost.
The biggest worry is the moisture issues, rising damp and bad window frames could mean significant water damage is discovered as part of repairs. Cracked walls can also be a big deal depending on the root cause, foundation issues are really bad.

What are your "poor person" money life hacks?
Let’s get a list going. Like with a Target debit card you can get $40 cash back and it takes 1 to 2 days to be withdraw from your checking.

For me it’s definitely the Dark Tower, but the Golden Compas was also a huge letdown.
