This is awesome news! It isn't a jailbreak in and of itself, but it is the first step. Right now we only have a reliable jailbreak (checkm8) for up to iOS 18 (and that's only thank…

Yes, I absolutely understand that. I'm refuting the idea that it's not possible to do with a family and kids.

My wife and I have kids and live on a single income, and we're on track to retire in between ages 45 and 50. We live in Ohio, and I suppose we would qualify as frugal and having ch…

A SEPP plan let's you get the money early and penalty-free from a 401k and an IRA. And the saved medical receipts let you take some money out of a HSA at any point for reimbursemen…
