$10,000 isn't close to enough to be saving for later life. You only (typically) get about 35 years of working life, and most of us will get around 30-35 years as a pensioner. That means that you're currently setting yourself up to be living on $10,000 a year (assuming investment keeps up with inflation).
You must be European. Retirement age in the US ~67, no way 'most of us' are making it to late 90's.
What would running the tank dry accomplish? There are much better ways to meter how much fuel flows.
To address the trees in your post rather than the forest:
I have two grease fittings on my car (added while my brother owned it). It's funny to point them out at the quick lube places. Really throws off their rhythm. (Usually do my own work on the car, but I've been without workspace for a while.)
Not sure how you would count it, but I'm on at least career number three, maybe as high as five.
The worst pissing contest at my workplace has a woman as one of the participants. She's retired army, so she's probably somewhat atypical.
And knowing is half the battle. (Not sure if this is what the AC was referring to.
They only flew at night. With the lights off. In stealth mode. Noone knew they were there.
That's why Herman's Hermits survived so long: omniscience.
"Tea. Earl Grey. Hot."
"Ship's counselor's pants. Gone. Now."
I once had a rental in Germany and accidentally hit a button. The car kept asking me a question in German and I had no clue what to say or do. Eventually, I hit the right button to stop the inquisition.
I didn't expect this inquisition just from driving a car...
Talk to McGrew. He might be interested in thoughts on this.
People with different use cases than you are displaying 'idiocy'?
Not sure that I've ever seen the Slashdot superiority complex more blatantly stated.
Can you tell us now how much tablets suck because you can't 'do real work' on them?

You might 'kan reed', but there's no evidence that you 'kan komprehend'.
Read the links the other poster provided, then toddle on off to your drum circle.
People do go to jail for missing payments on child support. Even if they lost their job and cannot make said payments.
Just to clarify, I was referring to alimony rather than child support.
But yes, I've seen men carted off for jail when unemployment was at its peak a few years ago and they couldn't pay.
While my ex-wife has the responsibilities of a child, the payment I make to her is 'alimony', not 'child support'. Nice reading comprehension, SJW.
Debt slavery is perfectly legal in the US as long as you call it 'alimony'.
The vultures will come in, swoop down, sell off the real estate and set up lease back scams saddling the once well engineered company with ugly ongoing operating costs.
Yes, you see, that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account!
