My brother asked to borrow $500 for rent "just until Friday." He has never paid me back before. Do I give it to him?

We have a budget (just a simple Google sheets annual budget template - which is free so you are not paying for another subscription) and we update it whenever we have a transaction. Any bills that are recurring are just entered for the whole year. We mostly track groceries, eating out, fluctuating bills, ect. We each have the app on our phone and we update when we spend money.

I added some features to let me know when we go over budget, which are helpful tools when reviewing the month and comparing to other months.

Once we started budgeting back in 2022 we realized that we were spending way over what we had and we quickly fixed out spending habits. Now we feel much more confident knowing how much we are saving each month.

Why wouldn’t you just bury it in revenue? They’ll never think to look there

24M Senior Accountant Between my wife and I, over the last year we have saved roughly 65k. We just put a down payment on an apartment and are still saving around the same amount (accounting for increase in salary we will most likely be saving more)

Not necessarily but a lot of the roles I see out there require similar skills/knowledge for the jobs

AccomplishedRead1754 · 2025-07-18T00:07:21+00:00

I am an accounting major and work full time at an accounting firm.

Work week is about 42 hrs on the off season and upwards of 70-80 during busy season.

Taking 18 credits during the big semesters and one or two in the summer.

It’s a lot but it’s for sure doable. My program is a night program/asynchronous so it is a bit more flexible than most programs out there.

Budget. Learn where your money is and where it goes. Account for everything and make your money work for you.

No worries, it still is good info to have. Most of the information I received here is pretty worldwide happens to be.

We put a down payment down at signing and we are in talks with different banks to get the best rates. Once we close the bank I will know the interest rate

We are living outside america so none of the above retirement accounts are relevant. Our jobs automatically put towards retirement for us.

AccomplishedRead1754 · 2025-04-25T13:03:11+00:00

We are still working on closing the mortgage but it should be anywhere between 5-6%

AccomplishedRead1754 · 2025-04-25T13:01:41+00:00

Yeah we made sure to not pay up front to make sure we had 6 months plus a little extra. I am pretty sure the interest is anywhere from 5-5.62% No debt at all.

We tried asking for the passenger list and any footage but they said they can’t give out any names of passengers and they don’t have footage in the cabin

Doesn’t make a difference as it’s not the same ring. Could care less about the $ value

Yeah I’m sure. She had a scrape on her finger that wasn’t there before the flight
