I saw him in person at a grocery store a few years ago and he seemed pretty average height to me.

Can I take Nicholson north to I-10 via Louise St?

In the past I was never able to take Nicholson north. They always had it barricaded.

Why can't you just take Nicholson south to Bluebonnet?

It's fairly f'ing simple - all I've done is auto deposited $40-50 per paycheck for the past 35 years. Company matched up to 5% of my contributions.

I've done this with a less than $100k salary. How do so many people screw this up?

A lot of people are truly ignorant about finances and the power of compounding interest. And a lot of lower class people don't have 401-k matching at their crappy jobs or even know what a 401-k is. These are some of the things that should be taught in highschool but aren't because teaching diversity and not hurting feelings is more important to a lot of people. Coincidentally those are the same people who are the most likely to complain about equity but they have no interest in doing what it takes or learning how to build wealth and gain financial stability.

professionals who have spent a ton of money and time coming up with ways to take advantage of you

This is an issue with a lot of financial stuff like predatory lending (payday loans, cash advances, etc. and even student loans) But I don't think that's the case here with the OP's daughter and her paycheck. There are several similar scenarios like Venmo for example will process a transfer in 2-3 business days normally or you can have it processed immediately for a fee. My bank does the same with mobile deposits. It's a convenience fee and nothing more. It's much less "scummy" than payday loans and other predatory lending in my opinion where they intentionally try to take advantage of people.
