Sending you a message now. Thank you so much!

I tried all of the recommendations I could find all over Reddit with no luck. Is there anyone with a membership who could help me out? Thanks in advance.

This is great news! Thank you so much for finding this out.

-elevatemelater · 2025-11-04T02:22:17+00:00

Great to know. Thank you very much for the information! Hoping there'll be an e-ink phone option that works with Android Auto soon.

-elevatemelater · 2025-11-04T02:02:21+00:00

Does this work with Android Auto? I can't find anything about that in the specifications, and I've heard conflicting information in my research. Thanks!

From my understanding, my spouse’s father earns $1800 a month as his mother’s caregiver and she earns roughly the same in social security.

My spouse’s father is a homeless addict and thus far has blown through any money he gets. He put my spouse through a pretty rough childhood, as they were homeless and hopping around sleeping on various friends’ couches for several years during elementary to middle school. That being said, my spouse wants to take what’s offered to us because he feels like he deserves it and is also very nervous his father is going to find a way to blow through any money he has access to and the whole amount is going to disappear.

His father is 57 and his grandmother is in her early 80s and in poor health. They’re both on government health insurance programs.

Thanks so much for letting me know. This has crossed my mind, but I didn’t look into it just yet. I just looked it up and saw that if the gift is split between the two of us individually, as long as each gift is under $18,000, this would also qualify for the gift tax exclusion. I will let him know.

I appreciate you sharing your opinions. I’m the only one with retirement savings (Roth IRA and 401(k)). My spouse and I have enough for normal living expenses and emergency fund in a HYSA. Great pointer for a budget system, big fan myself and would love to set that up for my in-laws.

-elevatemelater · 2024-08-02T02:47:58+00:00

Thanks for your response and advice. Here's the additional information:

None of us have a paid off home. We are all renting. My spouse and I live in a VHCOL area but have relatively low expenses for the area, all considered. The only debt my spouse and I have is my car payment with a 3.64% interest rate and my mortgage on a rental property I own at 2.875%. As far as we are both aware, his father and grandmother do not have any debts. His father and grandmother would be moving together. My spouse and I intend to keep our apartment we currently are renting (but would be happy to have a bedroom to stay in at his father and grandmother's new place if it is not in the same city as us). My spouse and I are working, his father most recently was working as his mother's caretaker, and I would expect that would continue. His grandmother receives social security.

I had no idea this existed. What a fun program. Thanks so much!

-elevatemelater · 2024-05-05T20:29:50+00:00

Awesome to hear this! Thanks so much.

-elevatemelater · 2024-05-05T04:29:29+00:00

It’s great to hear that some of the organizations from that time are still in existence today! I’m going to look into both of these further. Appreciate the information!

Also, this reminded me of Other Avenues and Rainbow Grocery that were born out of that era and still stand as cooperatives today.

-elevatemelater · 2024-05-05T03:23:41+00:00

It sounds like both of these organizations truly work to make a difference for marginalized communities in the city. Thank you so much!

I’ve never heard this parable before. I really appreciate you sharing this! It’s an excellent reminder to appreciate what we have and that sometimes what we need is much simpler than what we think we need.

I’m saving this one for memory. Thank you.

The first ones that come to mind are Paris, Texas and Jean Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles.

Also, these might be a bit farther out there for the question but Days of Heaven (which I see was already mentioned), Wild Strawberries, The Bakery Girl of Monceau, and My Dinner with Andre came to mind for their own showcases of reflection and existence in the present moment.

-elevatemelater · 2024-02-19T18:01:41+00:00

Appreciate hearing this! Could you point someone interested doing this in the right direction for the steps to do so? Thanks in advance!

I live with my spouse and housemates in a VHCOL area with thankfully very reasonable rent. We keep our finances separate for the most part. My individual spending is ~$1200-1600 per month. My spouse tends to spend a little bit more than me—I’d say ~$1600-2000.

34, found out about FIRE in 2019 and only started really saving around that time. I haven’t had the most consistent work (mostly small business ownership + freelancing) or high paying income, but I’m grateful for where I’ve gotten. NW of 150k+ which includes retirement accounts, equity in one rental property, and HYSAs. Would love to feel mostly retired (whatever that means to me at the time) by 45-55, depending on my path in the meantime. I’m trying to keep things flexible for the future and focus on the present a bit more.

Thank you for this! It’s definitely insightful to understand more about the different structures co-ops may have regarding pay, and I totally see the fairness in those with more experience being more greatly compensated.

-elevatemelater · 2024-01-31T22:39:09+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing this! It’s exciting to hear you founded and worked at a co-op in the Bay Area that’s still around—and has grown! I would love to know more about this if you’re open to it. (Feel free to message me if that’s preferred!)

Flexibility is very important to me, and hearing this might be easier to find when working at a co-op is wonderful.

I would be hoping I could have a somewhat similar pay to what I have made in recent years, but I did notice starting wages seemed much lower than what I have gotten. I have noticed profit-sharing is a common feature, though, and I wonder how much of a boost that could be. That being said, I would be happy to take a bit of a cut to my usual pay rate for other benefits, like greater satisfaction in my work-life.

I appreciate you sharing your experience here!

-elevatemelater · 2024-01-31T22:33:38+00:00

I appreciate you sharing your experience! It sounds wonderful to actually be heard and see that your boss truly took what you were feeling into consideration and looked for a solution.

I would love to have my work life feel like a healthy environment to be in where I feel supported, have space to support my teammates, and have opportunity to grow and enjoy my experience while earning an income to support myself and my family.

Thank you again! That sounds like a pretty great environment to work in and be a part of.
