How the hell do I clean/vacuum carpeted stairs?
Your vacuum might have an attachment you can buy that is like a little handheld vacuum with bristles.

Thoughts on golfing solo as a beginner?
Getting in some twilight rounds might be your best bet. Get to the course a couple hours before sunset and walk 9. You can play until you can’t see any more as long as you don’t have a cart out on the course.
If you take a cart, the boys in the cart barn probably won’t love this strategy

How are you doing relative to the 1x by 30 / 2x by 35 / 3x by 40 salary rule for retirement savings?
At 29, we're at $170k in retirement funds with $150k household income. I've been lucky to max my 401k and Roth IRAs for both my wife and I the past two years. The biggest thing I've done to accomplish that is increasing my contribution with each pay raise I've gotten. Our net income hasn't increased much over the past 5 years, but our gross income has increased ~$60k.
Every few months, I'll run the numbers on what is needed to retire and I think we're in pretty good shape. I intentionally don't include my wife's pension or Social Security in those calculations, which makes me feel a bit better about where we are.
| Year | Age | HHI | Retirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | 23 | $95k | $8,900 |
| 2018 | 24 | $100k | $19,900 |
| 2019 | 25 | $110k | $42,900 |
| 2020 | 26 | $120K | $74,000 |
| 2021 | 27 | $135k | $116,300 |
| 2022 | 28 | $140k | $123,400 |
| 2023* | 29 | $150k | $171,900 |

What would you do if you won the lottery?
Go find that old post from AskReddit and follow it to a tee.
Outside of that, I'd probably buy a house closer to downtown, buy a new truck, and start to figure out how I can increase the quality of education in rural South Carolina.

Banks use your money to invest. They only have to have a small percentage of their holdings in cash on hand so they can invest, make money, and pay you interest.
Your money isn’t just sitting in a vault at your local Bank of America branch.

It depends on the type of bread you’re looking to have. If you just want cheap sandwich bread, a grocery store will be cheaper. If you want to have a nice warm loaf to spread butter or jelly on, it will be cheaper with a bread maker. I think there is an assumption that you would also have most of the ingredients on hand. Yeast is the only specialty ingredient.

I feel like the Big 12 has to take another Pac-12 to keep things even. That would leave the Pac-12 with 8 teams, right? That’s pretty much a dead conference.
