  • My son is a mechanic and he likes it. Doesn’t make a million dollars, but he gets by ok. There’s a lot of turnover in the industry - shops get sold to corporate chains and then they screw everyone over. There are plenty of jobs available, so when that happens he’s usually able to find something else within a few days. He started by getting a state inspector license from a 2 day class. Everything that has been from books, videos, and on the job learning.


  • We ordered it from Costco. They have a great return policy and will pick up things they delivered if you want to return them. Plan was to buy a mid price memory foam mattress and then, if needed, keep exchanging it for the next one up until we hit our budget limit. The first one was perfect! It’s been 9 years. I don’t know how long beds are supposed to last. We rotate it periodically and it’s still crazy comfortable.






  • We go pretty frequently (about every other month), but less since covid and now mostly nationally touring bands. My husband often buys a T-shirt. We also like to go see live music when we’re on vacation. My son toured with a band for a couple of years. I know it’s hard when they’re not making much money- sleeping in the van (or worse) and eating what the venue will give them. How about you?
