Your comment about Mr Cathy "not being fair" to his children is inaccurate and mischaracterizes the nature of the restrictions he placed on his heirs. He did impose strict operational and financial conditions on the future of Chick-fil-A, because he wanted to preserve the company's Christian values and charitable mission, not to unfairly penalize his children.He also did not restrict, or forbid, the sale of the company; he only prohibited taking it public (IPO) to ensure that shareholder pressure would not compromise the company's charitable giving and religious principles. Not being open on Sunday's may be a drawback to some, but Chick-fil-A ranks #1 in customer satisfaction among fast-food chains for the 11th consecutive year according to the 2025 American Customer Satisfaction Index. Many of my neighbors are retired executives of the company.The story of Jersey Mike's is interesting. I've been enlightening my knowledge of the criticism Cancro received regarding his sale of a majority stake in Jersey Mike's to private equity firm Blackstone.
You made me do it. Until today I had never tried Jersey Mike's. However, I should have researched it before going and would have been better educated about what makes it stand out from other sub chains. A đź‘Ť for you RDQ. I'm interested to learn more about Peter's history, his philanthropy, and how he differs from another great founder, the late Truett Cathy of Chick-fil-a. A truly remarkable person.
I know a 25 year old female who was taking the GLP1 injection. She started in February this year and was doing great. Lost ~45lbs until a few weeks ago, the injection was causing intense abdominal pain and she ended up being rushed to the hospital by ambulance. The doctor stopped the injections and advised her to not go back on it ever again.
Thanks Rick and Marilyn! I know there are others on this site that do this volunteer work and I wouldn't have known about it if it weren't for HumbleDollar.
Rick, those are interesting stats. Is there a fee for using this tax service? I was under the impression a tax payer had to be under $89,000 AGI to be eligible.
Fund Daddy, thanks for sharing suggestions on streaming deals. I must be an anomaly because Netflix has never been a 'must' for me. In fact, I've never watched it, but the internet certainly is necessary for many things now required, if one can just avoid being scammed or getting a virus.
Mark, your articles are so eloquent and interesting with never a repeated subject or topic...well maybe a Guinness, but that's acceptable. No harping on what you read on other websites so you can vent here. You express wisdom of a happy life with humor that everyone can enjoy or relate to. Today, I learned what a Mini Moke is and had to look it up for pictures. I always look forward to your articles because they put me in a happier mood. All the best to you!
That's a sad situation with a bike rider being killed by another person on an e-bike. An internet search "are electric bike accidents on the rise" shows an alarming increase in the number of e-bike accidents. I believe Jonathan's father died from being hit on a bike.

DrLefty, may I ask what the local fiduciary specialty is that you found, and what percentage do they charge?
