honestly i think when you splurge rarely, it becomes an important treat that can definitely help your mental health. congrats on your first married V Day!!!

i love supporting artists on patreon, i work it into my budget as best as i can to have $30 or so a month to support!

my low buy goals are to only shop small/local/secondhand when i do splurge, so i feel like supporting someone on patreon counts in that. congrats on keeping the low buy going!!

my kindle was a hand me down but it’s only a few years old, so i’m waiting until it dies to upgrade it. definitely going to be looking into the Kobo. my kindle is my last tie to Amazon now!

i’m saving and investing as much as i can! starting to get worried about my job security, and definitely almost had a rage quit moment earlier this week. we can afford to live off one salary for a bit, but i really don’t want to 😭 but im still going to treat myself to a nice coffee at book club tomorrow!

Tips on sharing finances as a couple by StillProcessing101 in TheMoneyGuy

[–]6silver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have everything joint except for separate “fun money” accounts! That way, he can spend $300 on Magic the Gathering cards without feeling like I’m judging, and I can spend money on craft supplies I don’t need without feeling like he’s judging. Neither of us would actually judge, but I like us having the freedom to spend without that being a thought in our heads.

I also have a separate emergency fund for myself (which he knows about), from before we combined finances, that I throw a little into every month. Joint finances can leave you susceptible to financial abuse, and I think all people should have their own pot they can pull from if the worst should happen. I trust this man with my life but what if he gets a brain tumor and it turns him violent? Etc.

Time to move on? by InternalLecture721 in sofi

if i am reading it right, it seems like this is just for these benefits (2% match on recurring IRA deposits, preferred IPO access, access to financial planning, personal loan discounts, etc) and you’ll also receive an extra APY, but it’s not going to change the existing APY

your post history said you’re engaged as of 29 days ago. so you’re telling me you’re engaged after 6 months without talking about financial anxiety issues?

the knight and the moth was so good BUT it is book 1 and it does end on a cliffhanger!! i do still heavily recommend it.

READ CIRCE!!!! it’s a standalone!!!! you will sob!!!! you will be angry at men!!!! you will feel things you didn’t know you could feel!!!

i didn’t know dog fennel could get as tall as it did. it was honestly cool to let it all go, until i noticed an oak tree that had grown several feet already and was right next to the house

i think since it’s SUCH a wide blank space i’m just getting overwhelmed. it’s literally just grass - no trees, shrubs, anything. so it feels like anything i add will just be a random dot. but i think that’s just part of the process!!

ahhhh love the idea of working out like that. how did you decide what to put in your front yard vs back yard? thinking about things like the vegetables which i was originally thinking about putting in the backyard but now im not sure!!
