Rich People don’t pay taxes, your grandfather didn’t make enough money, or didn’t have a good accountant.
Part of what I do involves tax credits and as much as some have joked about it, every single rich person valued it at the full dollar amount

Thank you for the DP.
I just got mine today.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

What does $38.51 mean to you?
To me it means Hashem is guiding me

I wanted a tower fan but couldn’t believe how much more expensive they are compared to the last time I bought one, so I procrastinated for a while. Tonight I decided to check prices again and then I remembered I had a Walmart gift card w $38.51 left and then also a 20$ promo code for signing up to walmart+.
Took a while to decide on one I liked but I then realized the promo code didn’t work for pro sellers (third party sellers). Back to square one.
Finally narrowed it down to 2. Literally opened up side by side comparison on the screen and finally decided on one for ~55$.

After tax and applying the promo code, the total price came out to be …. $38.51, exactly what I had left on my gc.
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

My brother is stuck in front of a place called Activate (Scarborough location). He needs a boost. He said he called chaveirim but he's been waiting a while.

Anyone can help?


Update: He saw another Yid..... He had a booster... BH.

2nd update: My brother just told me, that this Yid who had the booster, happened to have needed a boost just last week. He waited a very long time for a boost, so he decided to buy a booster to keep in his car. And today my brother needed a boost...

We had a baby in March and my wife really wanted to go to her parents OOT for the whole Yomtov. However, I didn't think it would be fair to my parents to totally skip them so we booked to visit my parents for the first days and hers the last days.

In the end, there was a schedule change to our itinerary, and I was able to extend our trip free by a few days, to give her a few extra days with her parents.

But it doesn't end there. We just had a simcha in her family and now are going to be in town for it.
