(Part 3) Top products from r/Birmingham

I was just reading about Avondale Mills, among other mills and Alabama's workforce in the mid 1800's-1900's, this weekend!

If anyone want's to know more, I'd recommend Poor but Proud: Alabama's Poor Whites. It's not light reading, by any means, but gives a great deal of insight into why Alabama was like it was, and on why it is, in very many respects, similar to that to this day.

That's far to flippant. He was a very good mayor and has a lot of legacies, in which corruption was present, but played a minor role.

If you're at all interested, I found his memoir pretty compelling:

There's another biography out, which I've only skimmed, but if you're afraid of autobiographies, you can try it:

You'll want to invest in one of these skip the brauns and conairs. I used those for a year apeice, the wahl is night and day.

Ive cut my hair for about 9 years and saved a ton of money. I cut it myself in the backyard. The haircut your describing is what I have and is incredibly easy. Skip using the guard, unless you like the crew cut look. Just by sliding your fingers through your hair at desired length and cutting across the top of your knuckles it is pretty easy to layer and judge length. You may need some help getting the back of the neck straight at first, but everything else is a breeze. Use scissors to do sideburns and ears.

IMO it is way easier to cut your own hair with a trimmer than walk someone else through it. I actually just cut my hair today, but you are welcome to watch and learn next time it needs a trim. I would reccomend trying to give yourself a small trim first to see how easy it is though. Go slow and never touch the trimmer directly to the scalp without your hand in between, until you do around the ear and back of neck. Start slow and take a little at a time. You'll get the hang of it.

Given that social security is constantly threatened, and given that most Americans have less than $500 in savings and are not saving nearly enough for retirement, creating passive income is a great way to both hedge against uncertainties and build actual wealth.

You've really got something to think about here. If you rent your house out, someone else is paying your mortgage for you. And if you're renting it out for twice to three times the note (hell of an investment), that one property can pay for your next property as well. Keep going and in a decade you could have several properties that have paid for themselves. When you are ready to retire, which could be a lot sooner than you currently believe is possible, you could be sitting on ten to twenty properties or more that you own, that you owe nothing for, that are making you thousands of dollars each month. And if you get tired of dealing with it all, you can always sell.

I recommend starting by looking into sources such as bigger pockets and start reading books like [The Millionaire Real Estate Investor] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0071446370/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_EPN-zbTQ6ZCNS) by Gary Keller. Those sources will lead to learning about your current options and your future as an investor. And you need to learn about it, because whether you realize it or not, you're already a real estate investor.

Have you seen the microwavable ones? Dollar General has them is what I've been told. They are stupid good. Faux-tatoes are ok especially if you add bacon and cheese.

I was so damn tired of having to use quarters to pump my tires. They are damn near invaluable with the roads here in bham and surrounding. I keep mine in the trunk and use it all the time.
