Why Regular Wheel Alignment Saves You Money in the Long Run

As a responsible car owner, you know that regular maintenance is crucial to keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently. From oil changes to tire rotations, there are several tasks that need to be done to ensure your car's longevity. However, one aspect of car maintenance that often gets overlooked is wheel alignment. Many drivers fail to realize the impact that proper wheel alignment can have on their vehicle's performance, safety, and overall longevity. In fact, neglecting your car's wheel alignment can lead to a host of issues, including uneven tire wear, decreased fuel efficiency, and even potential safety hazards.

What is Wheel Alignment?

Wheel alignment is the process of adjusting the angles of the wheels to ensure that they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. This adjustment is done by adjusting the suspension components to the manufacturer's specifications. Proper wheel alignment ensures that your car handles well, drives straight, and maximizes tire life.

Importance of Regular Wheel Alignment

Regular wheel alignment is essential to the safety and performance of your vehicle. When your wheels are properly aligned, your car will handle better, drive straighter, and have less wear and tear on its tires. This means that you'll have better control of your vehicle, increased fuel efficiency, and reduced risk of accidents. Neglecting wheel alignment can have serious consequences, including:

Uneven Tire Wear

When your wheels are misaligned, they can cause your tires to wear unevenly. This means that some parts of your tires will wear faster than others, which can lead to premature tire failure. Uneven tire wear can also cause your tires to become noisy and uncomfortable to drive on.

Decreased Fuel Efficiency

When your wheels are misaligned, your car has to work harder to move forward. This means that your engine has to use more fuel to maintain the same speed, which can decrease your fuel efficiency. This can lead to higher fuel costs and a reduced driving range.

Safety Hazards

Misaligned wheels can also pose safety hazards. When your wheels are misaligned, your car may pull to one side, making it difficult to control. This can be especially dangerous at high speeds or in emergency situations. Misaligned wheels can also cause your tires to wear unevenly, which can lead to tire blowouts or other tire-related issues.

Signs Your Vehicle Needs a Wheel Alignment

There are several signs that you may need a wheel alignment. The most obvious sign is if your car pulls to one side when you're driving. This means that your wheels are not properly aligned, and your car is pulling in the direction of the misaligned wheel. Other signs that you may need a wheel alignment include:

Uneven Tire Wear

If your tires are wearing unevenly, this is a sign that your wheels are misaligned. Uneven tire wear can cause your tires to wear out faster and can also be a safety hazard.

Steering Wheel Vibrations

If your steering wheel vibrates while you're driving, this may be a sign that your wheels are misaligned. Vibrations can be caused by worn suspension components or misaligned wheels.

Crooked Steering Wheel

If your steering wheel is not centered when you're driving straight, this may be a sign that your wheels are misaligned. A crooked steering wheel can be an indicator that your car is pulling to one side.

How Wheel Misalignment Can Impact Your Vehicle

Misaligned wheels can have a significant impact on your vehicle's performance and safety. Here are some of the ways that wheel misalignment can affect your car:

Uneven Tire Wear

Misaligned wheels can cause your tires to wear unevenly, which can lead to premature tire failure. This means that you'll have to replace your tires more frequently, which can be expensive.

Poor Handling

Misaligned wheels can cause your car to handle poorly. This means that you'll have less control over your vehicle, which can be dangerous. Poor handling can also make your car less comfortable to drive.

Reduced Fuel Efficiency

Misaligned wheels can cause your car to use more fuel than necessary. This means that you'll have to spend more money on gas, and you'll get fewer miles per gallon. Reduced fuel efficiency can also have a negative impact on the environment.

Safety Hazards

Misaligned wheels can pose safety hazards. If your wheels are misaligned, your car may pull to one side, making it difficult to control. This can be especially dangerous at high speeds or in emergency situations. Misaligned wheels can also cause your tires to wear unevenly, which can lead to tire blowouts or other tire-related issues.

The Benefits of Regular Wheel Alignment

Regular wheel alignment offers several benefits. Here are some of the top benefits of proper wheel alignment:

Improved Handling

Proper wheel alignment ensures that your car handles well. This means that you'll have better control of your vehicle, which can increase your safety on the road. Improved handling can also make your car more comfortable to drive.

Increased Fuel Efficiency

Proper wheel alignment can also increase your car's fuel efficiency. When your wheels are aligned, your car will require less energy to move forward. This means that your engine won't have to work as hard, which can save you money on gas.

Longer Tire Life

When your wheels are aligned, your tires will wear evenly. This means that you'll get more mileage out of your tires, which can save you money in the long run. Longer tire life can also improve your car's handling and safety.

How Often Should You Get a Wheel Alignment?

Most car manufacturers recommend getting a wheel alignment every 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. However, if you notice any signs of misalignment, such as uneven tire wear or a crooked steering wheel, you should get your wheels aligned right away. It's also a good idea to get your wheels aligned after you've had any suspension work done on your car.

How to Maintain Proper Wheel Alignment

There are several things you can do to maintain proper wheel alignment. Here are some tips:

Check Your Tire Pressure

Proper tire pressure is essential to maintaining proper wheel alignment. Be sure to check your tire pressure regularly and keep your tires inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.

Avoid Pot Holes and Rough Roads

Driving on pot holes and rough roads can cause your wheels to become misaligned. Try to avoid these types of roads when possible.

Get Your Wheels Aligned Regularly

Regular wheel alignment is the best way to maintain proper alignment. Be sure to get your wheels aligned every 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first.

DIY vs Professional Wheel Alignment

While it's possible to do a DIY wheel alignment, it's generally not recommended. Proper wheel alignment requires specialized tools and equipment that most people don't have at home. Additionally, a professional wheel alignment technician has the expertise and experience to ensure that your wheels are properly aligned. While a DIY wheel alignment may save you money in the short term, it can lead to costly repairs down the road if not done correctly.

Cost of Wheel Alignment

The cost of wheel alignment varies depending on several factors, including your location, the type of vehicle you have, and the shop you choose. On average, you can expect to pay between $50 and $100 for a wheel alignment. While this may seem like a lot of money, it's a small price to pay compared to the cost of repairing or replacing your tires due to misalignment.

Conclusion

In conclusion, regular wheel alignment is essential to the safety and performance of your vehicle. Proper wheel alignment ensures that your car handles well, drives straight, and maximizes tire life. Neglecting wheel alignment can have serious consequences, including uneven tire wear, decreased fuel efficiency, and potential safety hazards. By investing in regular wheel alignment, you can maximize your investment in your vehicle and save money in the long run.

Would you be willing to do more low honor arthur? I don’t really have any specific idea in mind, whatever you want to create! I love your writing! <3

A Deal Worth Taking

I feel like there is a lot lh!Arthur x fem!reader smut out there, but I wanted to go for a fun little interaction. Because you can't convince me that Arthur wouldn't still be a soft boi for his s/o while being mean to everyone else >:)

700 words, less than 10 minutes reading time

Arthur waited outside of the saloon; you were still inside, finishing your drink. Arthur had left in advance for some peace and quiet and was now smoking his cigarette in solitude behind the saloon. It was then that a man approached you. He clearly had had something to drink, but his words didn't slur yet, when he asked you how much you cost per night. You smiled kindly and told him to follow you outside, where prices can be discussed.

Exiting through the back door, with the gentleman following eagerly, you exchanged a glance with Arthur. No words were needed, Arthur had already figured out the situation at hand. It wasn't the first time you were approached like that, and Arthur found great pleasure in finding inventive solutions of getting off those men. To him, firmly establishing and claiming you as his was always gave him pleasure.

So, the three of you stood in the dark back alley.

"You want her?", Arthur asked and stubbed out his cigarette on the wall.

"You owe her or something?", the man looked Arthur sceptically up and down, only unwillingly peeling his gaze from you.

"I do. I got a whole lotta girls working for me, she's the best I've got though,” Arthur put his hands on his belt.

The man checked you out again.

"How much?"

"Six dollars, but you get her the whole night."

The guy winced at the mention of the price: "That's a bit high, don't you think? I mean...she's my type and all..."

"Whole night...", Arthur repeated with a twinkle in his eye, "She'll even spoon ya and be there in the mornin’ to bring you some coffee, if yer into that. Domestic bliss with no responsibilities." Arthur stressed the last sentence with his southern drawl that made your lips curl into a smile.

"Fine", the man clicked his tongue and shot you some glances while fished out the money, "You better be worth it."

However, as he raised his gaze to hand the money to Arthur, he made blinked in shock, when a gun was pointed directly at him. You saw the wheels turn in his head as Arthur, nonchalantly, accepted the money with his free hand.  

"Thank you kindly. Now, get lost, partner", Arthur asserted.

The guy opened his mouth to protest, but found his words caught in his throat as Arthur deftly cocked his gun. Off he went, a sullen expression on his disappointed face.

"You had me for a second, to be honest with you", you smiled at Arthur, who gave you half the money he had just taken from the man.

"I did?", Arthur chuckled warmly and put his gun back into his holster, "Yer worth way more than six dollars, that's for sure."

Arthur kissed you a suggestively, his big hand finding the small of your back. The little scheme had seemingly turned him on, especially now that he had you alone in this alley.  

"Mh, still, you get me for free," you grinned and allowed Arthur to pick you up and put you on a nearby barrel. Your eyes aligned now, sharing the same level, and Arthur caged you in with his big arms.

"For free? Hell, I gotta stand all yer talkin' and bickerin'", Arthur complained. But as he looked at you and saw your offended expression, he realized that he might have struck a nerve. Your exaggerated pout may have seemed theatrical, but your eyes and furrowed eyebrows betrayed a genuine displeasure.

"I never bicker. And if you want me to shut up, you can just say so", you replied earnestly.

"I know,” Arthur replied, he placed a tender kiss on your forehead, before nestling his head against your shoulder, inhaling your familiar scent. "I'm sorry. I'm jus' talking silly, darling,” he murmured, a hint of remorse in his voice.

Your hand wandered to his hair, and your fingers navigated through the rugged strands. It was a gesture meant to soothe him, but it also bore a subtle implication. Arthur was particularly receptive to such affections, and you heard a stifled groan.

"But I'll gladly get you coffee in the morning."

"Mhh, yer the best. I don't deserve ya," Arthur grinned against the crook of your neck before kissing it.

"How bout we get ourselves a room?"

"I'd love that".

I may have read Wishing on Space Hardware a while ago, but I’m still absolutely floored by how good a writing decision it was on your part to get rid of the Ahab production facilities! Like yes that’ll change the entire solar system unpredictably AND weaken Gjallarhorn! A N D your characterization for Almeria was perfect for that decision!!!

:D

[Spoilers for WoSH and Iron-Blooded Orphans in general to follow; I'm not especially fussed about people knowing what's coming but if you want to go in blind to my fics, please stop here.]

I can't remember when I settled on that as the big plan. It must have begun brewing while I was writing A Handful of Rusted Petals, though the exact shape of the plot only properly took shape with The Ares Affair. Probably the wheels started turning as soon as I learned the peripheral detail that Gjallarhorn controls manufacture of the series' resident 'magic physics' black boxes.

Because while it's never relevant and Iron-Blooded Orphans never positions Gjallarhorn as something to be destroyed (we're arguing over who gets to run the armed wing of the empire, here), there is something tempting about realising their power is resting on an economic lynchpin like that. Even within the narrow sliver of the world we get to see, it's clear Ahab reactors are vital to space-faring society and an Earth reliant on space-based manufacturing. It's also clear the blocs aren't passively under Gjallarhorn's thumb -- they have their own agendas that align or conflict with that oversight by turns. The whole thing with mobile suit stockpiles being dusted off in the wake of the Battle of Edmonton indicates a desire to lessen Gjallarhorn's influence. It'd make sense if there was also a movement in favour of taking over the Ariadne Network and the reactor production. Countries don't tend to like it when a third party can just cut off their vital infrastructure, you know?

More importantly, from a writing point of view, it was something I could tie everything else into, giving me a through-line from the stuff I'd established in To Catch a Falling Star (which I wrote first) to where I was going with a grown-up version of Almiria. I could use the stuff with Iverson to establish the technical side, spinning off the detail of the reactors needing to be built close to a star (still not sure certain about the wiki's translation of that, but the idea has good visuals). I could work in the economic angle, in terms of Earth and Jupiter/Teiwaz's relation to it. I could have some Calamity War flashbacks, to explain why the Crucible was the only manufacturing station left. And it gave me the thematic motif of Hati and Skoll, which was fantastic fun to play with.

Above all, though, it allowed me to illustrate exactly how Almiria's rage had manifested, eight years on. Because there's a very real possibility that getting rid of Ahab reactor production means a long-term decline for everyone, and a considerably higher risk it'll create massive short-term instability. Space-travel gets riskier, space-based construction grinds to a stop, humanity can't reach any further, the technological triumphs of the setting are irrevocably altered, and everyone needs to adjust to a new way of living.

Of course this is Ragnarök, not oblivion. I made sure to position pieces of what could come next: Teiwaz's ascendency, the colonies pulling free of Earth, the blocs dismantling existing arrangements, a slow crumbling of Gjallarhorn as they fought to sustain themselves. Things wouldn't change at a stroke, there'd be a lot of mess, it might very well lead to something worse. It wouldn't be hopeless either. There'd be ways to adapt, to survive, to build something better.

But fundamentally, the point was to illustrate where Almira sits on that metric of 'what do you believe and what can you live with?' And the answer is, she decided there was no cost too high for the sake of seeing Gjallarhorn burn. She was going to have her revenge, consequences be damned.

And there is nothing more dangerous than a human being who isn't afraid of the consequences of their actions.

Speaking of SM.

Tak Youngjoon cameback to being a co-CEO this spring (he was co-CEO with Lee Sungsoo aka Chris Lee in 2020-2023). And even Yoo Youngjin is still affiliated with the company (he is registered under his real name as a consulting director). Maybe not voluntary (contract length), maybe he changed his mind afterall... And the news about Kakao selling SM shares was a rumour in the end... Welp, so much hype during media coverage, and then, when the dust settles, things fall into their original places.

These two are still at the wheel. And it's good.

Ah, yes, wanted to write about LSM, what was the problem. The post of the OP who digged the info is long, I will summarise and simplify, add a bit of my own. (source)

Up untill 2008 LSM was a registered employee of the company he formed, i.e. SM. He oficially resigned and formed another company Like Planning (LP). SM signed a contract with LP for producing artists.

I'm not completely sure, but it seems LP consisted of one person - LSM (mayhaps there were some accountants and additional personnele, noone who mattered anyway). It's just a name. In practice, LSM changed from a natural person to a juridical person. His salary was paid not to him directly as an employee, but to a company (LP). It allowed him to pay lower taxes, as in Korea natural persons pay more than juridical persons.

Secondly. The contract with LP listed a very long list of services. LP was supposed to do everything: casting, training, selecting members of a group, checking the videos of trainees, planning of albums, concepts, styling, planning of MVs, choreography and more. And yes, technically LSM had his nose in all of this, but not alone. He gave directions, staff in SM did the work. And yet, LP (i.e. LSM) was paid as if LP's employees (non-existant), and not SM's employees (real) provided those services.

Thirdly, there was a clause of LP (i.e. LSM) getting money from activities it directly had not participated in, like artist performances/concerts. This is were "LSM stole from its artists" came.

That tax evasion case of early 2024 was about the goverment telling SM it paid too much to LP, asking to prove the expenses, that LP really provided services that costed so much (SM couldn't), and demanding for more tax to be paid to the government (basically, SM said they are eligible for tax reduction because of LP being involved as a 3d party (who will pay taxes instead of them) and paid a smaller amount, the government came, checked, wasn't persuaded, and said "no" to tax reduction, pay the full sum).

To sum it up. LSM came up with a plan of how to stay as the main producer of everything, earn lots of money without being asked if his services really costed so much, and paying less taxes. And because he was the main shareholder of SM, had the last say and could fire anyone, no employee or CEO could go against him directly.

It lasted for some time (2010 - 2019) untill Align came, pointed at this situation and asked the rest of the shareholders if they were OK with not getting their dividents because too much money went into LSM's pocket (they got less income from their shares because SM as whole was less profitable, it paid too much to LP, the net income was lower than it could have been).

The contract with LP was cut because the rest of the shareholders said so, LSM stopped being the main producer. After it, LSM sold majority of his shares to Hybe and stopped being the main owner of the company as well.

Kakao bought SM to appeal to its own shareholders, and, as was promised, so far doesn't realy involve itself in SM's doings. Korean regulators approved the takeover this year, just made one condition

"South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) gave approval to the takeover, on the condition that Kakao’s Melon continue to distribute music from SM Entertainment’s rivals. It also ordered the creation of a monitoring body to ensure that Melon doesn’t engage in anti-competitive practices."

It seems, SM 3.0. was planned together with LSM. It's not a plan to come up with in an instant. His 3 years of forced absence on SK k-pop scene will end soon. Prepare for the new season of this drama...

P.S. Heh, when I look at the net income numbers, I'm reminded that, indeed, SM is a small company actually.

Love Aura : blue/purple/pink Blue allows one to be intuitively aligned with another. Purple shows that you love unconditionally, and that you long for spiritual love. Pink depicts a person who is a giver in relationships, and is often taken for granted.

Song : Siúil a Rún (2016) - Celtic Woman Translation: "Come my love". It's a song about a selfless but also sad love. In his life he often gave more love than he received in return. Especially the part "I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel, I'll sell my only spinning wheel. To buy my love a sword of steel." shows that Obi-Wan would do anything for his love at the cost of his own comfort.

Flower: bluebell In the language of flowers, the bluebell is a symbol of humility, constancy, gratitude and everlasting love.

Who Needs Words?

Published: 1-9-2024

Words: 695

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sound of a muffled radio and a car on tar was the only noise that filled the vehicle. Neither A nor B were silent from anger or embarrassment or anything of that nature. They were simply silent because it was comforting. Words weren’t needed to have a simple memory.

“Y’know what I want?” B spoke randomly from the passenger's seat. A had gotten used to B’s random tendencies.

“Hm?” A hummed in response, making sure to watch the road that was lit up by the car lights. They held the steering wheel calmly, waiting for B to finish their question.

“Good-old-fashioned love,” B’s face held a small yet proud smile. They seemed to be interested in this topic because of their body language. A took a quick glance at B before going back to the road.

“Do you mean like, 1940s kind of love?” A asked curiously. They didn’t mind the topic taking the place of the silence. As long as they were with B then it was alright.

“Basically!” B’s posture straightened against the seat belt. “Just the unconditional love that can be found. The pure loyalty to each other and expecting nothing in return. I want that. I want to be asked my favorite color and then be surprised with my favorite flowers in the color. I want to be given handmade gifts that would cost less than a cent to buy but cost millions for thought and effort.”

A listened intently as B rambled on and on, not even thinking to stop B. A enjoyed B’s rambles. They enjoyed how B could get excited over the littlest things, whether it’s a duck or a coin on the ground. Against their better judgment, A zoned out for a second. They stole glances at B and nodded softly to act as if they were listening but A was making a mental plan. They remembered everything B said and made a silent promise to grant this wish to B if it was the last thing A did. When A finally came back to reality, they focused on B and the road again.

“I want to grow old together and have shared thousands of memories together,” B paused for a second, having an expression that looked lost for a moment. A took a hand off the wheel and placed it onto B’s shoulder, nudging them a little to bring them back to Earth. B seemed to snap out of their little dream and smiled at A. Oh that smile could melt the sun any day. B’s smile had the power to cool the hottest deserts and warm the coldest tundras.

“I think that’s all I wanted to say, sorry if I rambled,” B rubbed the back of their neck shyly, embarrassed for talking so long.

“Why are you sorry? I enjoy listening to you go on and on about anything.” A comforted, keeping their eyes on the road.

“Really?” B questioned, unsure if they should really believe A’s statement.

“Obviously. I love hearing you talk on the phone for hours with me at 2 AM because you saw a cute bird on the way to work. Or how you saw a mother taking her two kids to that one park a few days ago. I love listening to you, B. You brighten my day by just being here, and you can’t imagine how bright my day is when you talk. I love seeing your smile and hearing the little pitch up in your voice. I love it all.” A gushed, careful not to admit their true feelings for their best friend. A couldn’t risk the friendship dying off all because they confessed their feelings.

B had a look of pure shock that melted into a comforted and soft expression. Instead of responding, B stayed quiet and let the car ride resume its earlier silence. A took a small look at B. After seeing B’s content face, A relaxed too and let out a deep breath. As before, the only noise in the vehicle were the sounds of the muffled radio and car tires on a tar road. Words weren’t needed to have a simple memory.

So, let's check out some of these charities that are all about giving financial support to seniors, and helping them get through life with dignity and grace.

The Rising Financial Challenges for Seniors

Before delving into the charities making a difference, it's crucial to understand the landscape of financial challenges faced by seniors today. As medical expenses soar and the cost of living continues to rise, a significant number of older adults find themselves struggling to make ends meet. Fixed incomes, often derived from pensions or Social Security, may not be sufficient to cover the burgeoning expenses of healthcare, housing, and daily living.

Meals on Wheels: Nourishing the Body and Soul

Meals on Wheels is a renowned charity that operates across the United States, dedicated to addressing the nutritional needs of seniors who face financial difficulties. The organization delivers nutritious meals to the doorsteps of older adults, ensuring they receive the sustenance necessary for a healthy life. This not only addresses the physical well-being of seniors but also provides them with a sense of connection and community.

The National Council on Aging: Empowering Seniors Financially

The National Council on Aging (NCOA) is committed to empowering seniors through a variety of financial assistance programs. From benefits enrollment assistance to initiatives aimed at reducing healthcare costs, NCOA works tirelessly to improve the economic well-being of older adults. By connecting seniors with available resources and advocating for policies that support their financial security, NCOA plays a crucial role in ensuring seniors can enjoy their later years with peace of mind.

AARP Foundation: Creating Opportunities for Seniors

The AARP Foundation, an arm of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), focuses on creating opportunities and solving the challenges faced by seniors in various aspects of their lives. Through initiatives like the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), the foundation helps older adults find employment opportunities that align with their skills and interests. By fostering financial independence through employment, AARP Foundation contributes significantly to enhancing the quality of life for seniors.

Benevolent Societies and Local Community Charities

In addition to nationally recognized organizations, local benevolent societies and community charities often play a vital role in supporting seniors facing financial difficulties. These organizations may provide direct financial assistance, cover essential expenses, or organize community events to foster a sense of belonging. Their localized approach allows them to tailor their assistance to the specific needs of seniors in their communities, ensuring a more personal and impactful connection.

Senior Affordable Housing Programs

Housing is a significant concern for many seniors, especially those on fixed incomes. Charities that focus on affordable housing for seniors contribute immensely to addressing this critical need. By partnering with developers, community organizations, and government agencies, these charities work towards creating affordable housing options that allow seniors to maintain their independence and live in safe, comfortable environments.

Financial Education Initiatives for Seniors

Charities dedicated to providing financial education to seniors are instrumental in equipping older adults with the knowledge and skills needed to manage their finances effectively. Workshops, seminars, and one-on-one counseling sessions offered by these organizations empower seniors to make informed decisions about budgeting, investments, and retirement planning. By enhancing financial literacy, these charities contribute to the long-term financial well-being of seniors.

Connecting Through Technology: Cyber-Seniors Programs

As technology becomes increasingly integral to daily life, charities that focus on connecting seniors with the digital world play a crucial role. Cyber-Seniors programs teach older adults how to use smartphones, computers, and the internet, opening new avenues for communication, entertainment, and even employment. By bridging the digital divide, these charities empower seniors to access online resources that can alleviate financial burdens and improve their overall quality of life.

The Importance of Volunteering: RSVP and Senior Corps

Charities like the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) and the Senior Corps recognize the wealth of experience and knowledge that seniors bring to their communities. These organizations facilitate volunteer opportunities for older adults, allowing them to give back to society while staying active and engaged. Through volunteer work, seniors not only contribute to the well-being of others but also find a renewed sense of purpose, which can positively impact their mental and emotional health.

Navigating the Application Process: Benefits Outreach Programs

Many seniors are eligible for various government assistance programs and benefits, but navigating the application process can be daunting. Charities specializing in benefits outreach help seniors understand their entitlements and assist them in completing the necessary paperwork. By simplifying complex processes and ensuring that seniors receive the financial support they are entitled to, these charities make a significant difference in the lives of older adults.

Conclusion

There are these cool charities that are all about helping older folks dealing with money problems, and they add some crucial elements to this whole song we're jamming to, making our society more caring and in sync.

We should take a moment to give a shoutout to our older peeps for all the cool stuff they've done and been through. It's on us to make sure they get the backup they need to deal with all the money stuff that comes with getting older. Supporting these charities and what they're about isn't just good for our seniors; it's like adding some extra strength to the whole human connection thing we've got going on.
