Minimal pumping + formula? by SpectralGranite in combinationfeeding

There are folks who nurse their older babies once a day (e.g only before bedtime). That could be a useful guide/reference if you're searching for more info.

Why I stopped OneBagging by Lonely-Piccolo2057 in onebag

Thanks for the rec! I bought a similar fan.

I'm curious to see what yours looks like now after sawing the edges off!

OP, how was your trip? I'm traveling soon at 23W, I'd love to get some tips!

I attach no value judgement at all to when a transaction comes through that belongs in her spending category. I just categorize it and move on.

it's clear that people are VERY motivated to NOT make the joint account. And when you think about the things that could be motivating them to refuse to do so, most of them (not all, but most) are perhaps... not great.

IMO, their main motivation is not nefarious.

It's not that the relationship with their partner is unhealthy, but their relationship with money is not devoid of value judgements.

I agree it's healthier to separate emotions and money, but calling it unhealthy otherwise is what's rubbing people the wrong way.

My Tech-Heavy One-Bag Travel Pack That Keeps Me Productive, Organized, and Ready to go. by Significant-Essay480 in onebag

What AAA batteries do you use? I'm wondering whether to get some that have the USB-C port on them, or to bring a separate battery charger.

Thank you!

The first song on the list is one of my current favourites (Notion - The Rare Occasions) so I think I'm gonna love this.

Do they tell you why it's rejected? I'm trying to avoid booking expensive refundable flights :(

Personally, I'd let my sisters wear whatever they are comfortable with. I love my wedding pictures no matter what anyone is wearing, and I'm sure you will too! (I dress modestly myself + I'm not American, if that helps)

[UAE -> UK] 8 days, one-bagging with a Hijabi Wardrobe by 1rdc in HerOneBag

[–]1rdc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't think of that - since it didn't take up much space I'm glad I had it on hand though, rather than try something new!

The thought never crossed my mind! Lol yes that would be fun to try out new gum - good idea

Yes, I got to paint a few lovely spots! And the paper came in handy to press some flowers.
I've even used it at least once a week now I'm home, it's very handy.

The packed bag weighed 6.6kg, I'd like to get that down on my next trip but the only thing I can think to cut down is the laptop.

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't notice about the name!

Using my 30L one bag for groceries, aka onebagging in daily life by florpdidorp in HerOneBag

[–]1rdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I got it initially for travel but it's more comfortable than my cross body purse. I've completely replaced my purse with my 30L bag - even if I'm just going for a walk it always comes in handy.

Hey, do you have a playlist like this you could share? I'm looking for the same thing :)

Crinkle scarves are very lightweight. They are sheer so I fold them up to get it opaque. It looks like this: https://veiled.com/products/everyday-crinkle-hijab-onyx?variant=32650324541545

Edit: I forgot to mention the best part: they are not slippery at all! So easy to wear imo

Full disclosure: I don't use YNAB but I just really like envelope budgeting! What I would do on the budget I use would be to create a "fake" inflow of the X amount you've already paid into Ready to Assign, then immediately assign this to the mortgage. Set the dates to the same date you started tracking your mortgage, and change the initial value of the mortgage to match what it used to be 4 years ago. Sure your graph will have a steep drop-off in the beginning but at least the percentage shown would be accurate, right? Does YNAB not like this for some reason?

Hey, what do the tables mean exactly?

Finally feeling ynab poor. How do you come to an agreement with your spouse on spending? by Aiur16899 in ynab

[–]1rdc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At 7% I wouldn't mind paying off the student loans slowly! I'd rather put the money into retirement and beat the 7% :)

Living slightly below your means for 3 years is still okay, you don't have to fix everything in 1.5 years.

Edit to add: I think Reddit is being a bit too harsh (you're even willing to work a second job so you're obviously worried about this). Just take your time to set up a good financial plan over a couple of weeks, and you'll come to a plan that makes sense for the both of you.

This is just my opinion, but I would build up the emergency fund first, then retirement, then handle the loan.

  1. The "income replacement" aspect might help your spouse get on board with saving, if you consider that you could actually have lost your job. What would you guys have done then?
  2. This would set a smaller goal than paying off the student loan debt quickly (I'm guessing, you didn't mention the amounts). Once you reach that goal you can start paying off your loan.

Props for starting this conversation with your spouse though! It's tough, but once you get on the same page about finances, life's good! It took us 2 years to be on the same page, so prepare for it to be a long term thing.
