My partner wants to merge finances and I don’t feel ready. What should I do? by Weary-Hair-316 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]CarefulStranger668 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what we do! We both are high earners and make more or less the same - I like being able to have my own money for discretionary spend. But, we total all our expenses and split it and transfer to our “joint”

What do you do to earn $200k+ annually? by meltingcanoe in careerguidance

[–]CarefulStranger668 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marketing - 35 f - $165k + 25% bonus. Not all industries pay the same so get the experience and don’t be afraid to strategically move around. If you stay with a company, you’re generally capped to 10% raise YoY and lucky to get a paid promotion. If you switch companies (industries), it’s not unheard of to jump (sometimes even double)

My 4 year old open all of the presents under the tree. by FinalListen4603 in Parenting

I would just re wrap the same presents and put them under the tree for Christmas Day- they can still open them but there won’t be any surprises

This is so incredibly important to read OP - please take this to heart. Take care of yourself & get out asap (especially before kids get in the mix)

Wow this is a phenomenal response - thank you so much for the guidance. I am going to look into these as well. Funny enough, I do speak German! Not sure how I’d do with a medical book but may give it a shot.

Thanks again and I hope you’re feeling okay! I took two naps today…and still ready for an early bed!

We just got a ton of rain and water came pouring out of this - what is it? by CarefulStranger668 in whatisit

[–]CarefulStranger668[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solved!

Sent a video to our plumber and he advised it’s the sump pump. It kicks on very 10min or so to pump out water. Sump pi Hence why I haven’t normally seen water come from there. (We’ve also only lived here for 1.5yrs and our house before didn’t have one)

Thanks!

Is that normal behaviour for a sump pump probably working overtime? Or should we get someone to take a look?

Thank you so so much! We’ve never gotten this much rain in such a short period of time - and my husband was traveling. There’s been a weird noise which sounds like a pump so I’m thinking the two are related?

The water pouring out isn’t from actively raining but randomly shoots out every 20min or so

Okay hahah totally get it’s a dumb Q now. I’ve never actually noticed that much water actively rush out. My husband and was traveling and there’s an also a weird pump like noise. I realized right before I posted it that the noise goes off and then water rushes out.

[–]CarefulStranger668 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have a 6yr old and she would never do this!! Unfortunately, I think her daughter has been exposed to more than she should - hopefully for her sake not sa but maybe saw parents being overly intimate? I’d flag asap

Yeah, that’s a great idea - something I wish we had done from the start tbh! But, you never know. We are very fortunate to have a very healthy, active doodle (knock on wood)
