I used to be a staunch supporter of Dave Ramsey but have been moving away from that school of thought. (Though I'm still heavily anti-debt). I really wish personal finance was a required course in highschool.

The food is so well priced! I love the chicken bowl- it comes with this roasted red pepper salsa that is infinitely better than the house salsa. I’m not a huge fan of dark meat so I don’t looove the chicken they use but it’s overall a ton of food in the bowl for super cheap! The drinks are delicious too!

I'm sorry for being dismissive. I understand your question and I haven't done a good job getting my point across. There are NYMEX natural gas futures contracts that are falling, but you also need the basis piece (the cost of moving the physical gas molecules through pipelines) to get a complete price. So delivered wholesale gas is gas futures + basis futures. Even when gas futures fall, basis futures have remained elevated. I've been trying to find a source but basis futures priced are not available for free (you'd need a Bloomberg Machine or ICE subscription). Here is an article that has a graph of pricing for the 23-24 winter season: https://www.nrg.com/insights/energy-education/purchasing-strategies-for-new-england-market-dynamics.html

Bottom line is when you see the headlines that gas prices are falling, it's not reflective of what the real delivered price is in New England.

I unfortunately provided a reference for someone for RAC. When this person fell behind on the payments RAC was calling me to find out what was going on. Like, fuck off and never call me again!

Don’t do this. DONT DO THIS. Personal loans are almost never a good idea. Sell all your shit, give plasma, whatever you need to do. If you’re in a hole the first thing to do is stop digging.
