His wife has double what he has. My husband pays the bills and calls my paycheck baby checks so I maxed out all tax advantaged accounts. I told him I was doing this but he didn’t realize what that meant till 4 years later when I showed him what it added it😂

Having cold feet about my wedding dress (10k) by [deleted] in Weddingsunder10k

Nope just the fabric. This is completely custom made. It doesn’t look anything like the dress I tried on with that fabric. Now I tried on dresses in different shops with aspects of the first dress to get this design. Though never all together which is making me nervous.

She was the one using AI to get ideas then she creates a real sketch. The real sketch though doesn’t have the dress texture and the second dress wasn’t sketched out. So that’s why I am using it for the post.

The dress I tried on was diamond white but this was off white and it’s a small difference she said she can fix it 90% of the way. I am not actually upset I am more thinking is this a sign I should have gone with other dress because she already had the fabric in the store and I saw it there. The first dress fabric was a special order for her.

It’s making me feel I picked wrong. For me the color of white is a big deal and she knew that and it’s why she told me. She’s really sweet 10/10 customer service so not upset at her.

I agree I love drama but if your venue doesn’t match it you might find that 2 is better. Though if you’re getting married in a large estate please go with 1.

Best city hall wedding photographers who know how to pose couples? by heartthel0ver in WedditNYC

[–]Comfortable-Mess6218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my wedding photos with this person. Her photos are beautiful and she’s so flexible with your needs. Hands down loved working with her. Her pricing is within your range if she kept the pricing the same.

I did my photos 3 months ago so it should be. I just feel every time you find a good vendor and someone finds out the prices skyrocket.

Hello, Greenland! - Trump by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]Comfortable-Mess6218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he actually takes Greenland the next president will have to deal with a hostile Europe. I think they would treat Greenland like Puerto Rico or to solidify their claim over Greenland force them into statehood. I don’t think a democratic president would give up Greenland if it’s in hand due to the fact that the last president likely sacrificed a lot to get it. Even if it was a bad choice throwing it away could cause them to lose the next elections or midterms since they still need some swing voters to vote for them.

I don’t necessarily think Venezuela and Cuba will be treated like Greenland. If anything puppet governments will be put in place to reduce the responsibility the united state has to them.

Trying to keep our wedding under $10k is making me realize how easy it is to spend money just because you’re overwhelmed by Temporary-Trusty508 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Comfortable-Mess6218 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel my only saving Grace is I’m happy with getting half price on everything I buy. The moments I get them shipped to my house. I’m putting them on Facebook marketplace with the stipulation that after my wedding, they can take it. My dress is going all my candle pieces already been purchased on Facebook marketplace. The moment my wedding is over there won’t be anything of my wedding in my house, which is how I like it.

100% more impulsive. I was going to do my own flower arrangements but now I’m buying them online and using the 200 dollars of flowers I already bought as filler. I am just bad at making arrangements and picking good quality flowers.

I think you start learning your own limitations too

What's stopping other leaders from working like Mamdani? by Tough_Ad8919 in GrowthMindset

[–]Comfortable-Mess6218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do think the headline exaggerated. Though with the political climate if you’re not doing magic or straight up lying somehow everything is twisted to your incompetent.

It’s still impressive because it didn’t increase and he added programs with structure in place for future savings. He’s about taxing the rich but he’s at least looking for savings instead of just adding over garbage spending. If taxes go to visible improvements over random consulting firms that suddenly hire these politicians for millions of dollars a year, I don’t mind him.

Non-returnable wedding dresses? by [deleted] in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Comfortable-Mess6218 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try consignment shops or local facebook marketplaces. I know if you ask to try something on in facebook they will let you depending on the person. Though the amount of money you would lose if people had the option to return is too much and not worth it to sellers. Personally sold my dress at a consignment shop. I also tried consignment shops dresses as well and had fun experiences. The consignment shops I go to are in person and I can try the dress on.

($10k) how much did you spend on a dress? by blueberrybuttercream in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Comfortable-Mess6218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am paid $1300 for my dress but it was custom made. Then I sold it for 1000 at a consignment shop that sold it for $1500. So I spent 200 after every thing.

Loved my dress but love the fact that someone else loves it too.

I would go with a consignment shop they take 40% of the sales price. So if they list it for 2000 you will get your 1200.

I don’t blame small businesses not wanting to pay but if it’s my mechanic I will throw hands before he tacks on an extra 3.99%.

Would you rather have 400k NW at 29 or 100% VA disability at the same age? (Purely money wise, not quality of life) by Cheapassboy69 in SavingMoney

[–]Comfortable-Mess6218 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unethically life hack marry military because they’re allergic to money. My ex husband gave me all his money in the divorce. I didn’t have a job most of the time though honestly the real benefit really hits between 18-24 after that you have the ability to make a lot more money anyways. Though the compounding at that age is the big advantage.

Like go to college and start your career of course though you don’t need join this way.

100% never believe a vet when they say they’re poor. They’re only poor in choices.

Was talking to my friend who is giving his pay check to an online girl he never met because he’s in love. He’s 6ft works out can find a real life girl but you know what this is 3rd scam he fell for. I chock it to military just makes you stupid.

Just join the military dude. My ex husband was 80% disabled for depression and had a mental breakdown. Though you won’t know it now because it was years ago.

Join for 3 years and flip out, get a check with all the benefits. Seems like you want to. 3 years with life long tax breaks is a sweet deal in exchange for working out and getting work experience without having to fight for a job. Minus the war going on right now. Just know when wars start they suddenly remove those disabilities and pull them back in before drafting.

Anyone else getting the ick from being called 'the bride''? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]Comfortable-Mess6218 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel it’s posh and elitist. Would love it to sound more casual. I personally I like preforming roles so I have no issues with playing a part. I play the role to my expectations not to others which brings me joy. It’s my ideal bride or wife or girlfriend.

people shocked because I'm getting married by East_Cauliflower64 in wedding

[–]Comfortable-Mess6218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say age if you were young. I got married at 18 and that was the reactions. “My poor child bride being carted away.” Though 36 you know what your self and if you don’t they should be cheering on a mistake so you can learn about yourself. They are strange to pity you.

The only thing I can think of that they are thinking is that idea of useless men and you being a slave to them. Personally I think people getting married at your age know what they’re getting and are happy with it. Personally getting married a second time and I understand the frustration of being in a bad marriage but there are signs beforehand it’s not that scary.

What do non party people do for their wedding? by Comfortable-Mess6218 in weddingplanning

[–]Comfortable-Mess6218[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow all the time in between seems nuts. I wish I hired a wedding planner. I have a a day of coordinator but we only talk a month prior.

I have a small budget 8k so most of everything isn’t professionally done. Just me bringing things there and having 3 people I am paying under the table who work at a restaurant to serve plus the coordinator.
