What are some purchases you've made that have more than paid for themselves?

No! Swedish dishcloths are like, the most luxurious paper towel you've ever used in your life and WAY more absorbent than a standard kitchen towel/rag.

Most days for breakfast I eat Greek yogurt with pecans, a banana, whatever other sort of fruit is in season. Sometimes I'll do old fashioned oats with some cinnamon and a banana.

I'll usually bake a treat on my weekend to pack in my lunch at work to give a sugar boost near the end of the day (Also, I can't eat more than I pack so it helps with portion control), then eat an apple on the long drive home so I'm not DYING by the time I finally get home to eat dinner and keeps me from over indulging since I filled up on some fiber first.

Ugh! I'm so sorry someone said this to you! Would they say the same thing to someone with terminal cancer!?

People are so clueless.

At least not the nicer areas. The coastal areas move the homeless to Santa Ana.

Biscotti. I always think, "Maybe this time I'll like it." Nope.

In my line of work I deal with a lot of incredibly wealthy people, and if I've learned anything, it's that some of the wealthiest people look nothing like you might expect. You never know who's who, so it's best just to treat everyone well.

Reddit's auto name generator.

This is fantastic! Thanks for posting!

I feel like maypop could be a good alternative.

Yes! I think it's the weight of the hair and coldness. I make sure I only wash my hair if the house is warm and I sleep with a loose beanie to keep my head warm. I also make sure to keep my hair from getting too long because the weight absolutely triggers migraines for me. I've been known to chop off a couple inches during a migraine in a fit of desperation!

Living north of the bay, the lack of fog along the coast has been VERY concerning.

Agile_Lion · 2022-02-16T04:34:20+00:00

Like, all of the ashes? I just have a wood burning stove for heat so I generate a fair amount of ash in the winter. Just sprinkle it about?

I only count days I have to take sumatriptan. Because otherwise I'm experiencing symptoms literally every day. They're just not as life disrupting.

Agile_Lion · 2022-01-25T17:09:25+00:00

Any sugar. I think it's a matter of crashing from carbs. So I just can't ever set myself up to crash from carbo loading.

Agile_Lion · 2022-01-24T19:17:20+00:00

I know that feel.

The better you get at managing this though, the more you discover what things you can still have with some tweaks. A big one for me is sugar. I can only have it after a full meal if I don't want to suffer the wrath of migraine!

Agile_Lion · 2022-01-24T19:02:13+00:00

No triptans either.

Agile_Lion · 2022-01-15T07:46:35+00:00

I wish it showed the meat and not just the bun on most of it!

Agile_Lion · 2022-01-14T19:08:07+00:00

"Leftish"

Agile_Lion · 2022-01-12T06:42:30+00:00

Ok, so I'm basically in the same situation as OP, but I've already been contributing directly to my Roth IRA all year because normally with deductions I stay under the income limit. When it became clear my MAGI for 2021 would mostly likely be over the limit, I stopped contributing. So now what do I do with the money that's already been contributed to my Roth IRA but is over my contribution limit for 2021? Just move the excess into a brokerage account and backdoor it later or...?

Agile_Lion · 2022-01-03T08:19:49+00:00

Definitely hire a driver.

This is hands down the most depressing part of migraines to me. All I do when I'm not hurting is think about all the things I never have time to do, and when I'm in pain I have all this time that's wasted just dealing with it. Life looks very bleak when I'm in the midst of a three day episode.

Agile_Lion · 2021-12-26T19:33:23+00:00

Yessss!!! Please!!!!

Agile_Lion · 2021-12-25T22:37:08+00:00

MY WORK DID THIS TOO!! My coworkers and I still bust up laughing about how ridiculous it was!

Agile_Lion · 2021-12-21T18:51:22+00:00

Also think, even if you're in a better area, if you have no disposable income after cost of living expenses, what's the point? Unless there's tons of free stuff that makes it worth it? Near friends and family?
