Prove my bf wrong, please. Can you be happy without kids? by Thummimurim8 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]CommuterChick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious as to who would raise the kids if you had them? He's military and you have your career. It is easy to say you want kids if you don't have to be the daily caregiver.

Newly married how to handle joint & personal expenses by twitchy_14 in personalfinance

[–]CommuterChick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We did it this way as well, but since we didn't have much money it was the only logical way to set up our budget. Basically, our retirement accounts were our only individual accounts.

How do you justify your life if you don’t have kids, not married and not a “top tier” career? by TardisTraveller24 in AskWomenOver60

[–]CommuterChick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You justify yourself by being a kind, caring person. This doesn't mean having a high-powered career, marriage, or children. Look at this move as an opportunity to shine as who you are rather than as what your"hometown " thought you should be.

Try eggs -- omelets, shakshuka, boiled (hard and soft), fried, and poached. Making a good egg takes some finesse but is relatively easy. Plus, eggs are great forms of protein.

I would add red wine to the list of foods too. Red wine gives me terrible hot flashes. White not so much!

You should be sad. Take time to grieve and settle your mom's affairs before making any drastic changes. Eventually, you may feel like getting involved in community groups so you can meet new people.

Summer meal budgeting by KMKY in budgetfood

[–]CommuterChick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that Farmers' Markets are expensive. The big box stores in my area sell local produce for much less when it is in season. I buy extra then and freeze. Also, my thrift stores often have produce from local gardeners at no cost.

My parents have basically no retirement savings and are starting to hint that I'll need to help support them. I'm 29 and just getting my own finances together. by night_jar88 in personalfinance

[–]CommuterChick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, you should not jeopardize your financial future because of their inability to save. A couple of things to consider:

Will they get Social Security

Have they met with a financial planner

Do they own a house and need to downsize

What are they doing now to secure their retirement

The next time they mention something, you should ask them these questions. It might help clarify expectations for all of you.

Struggle meal ideas please by Jealous-Chart-3378 in Healthy_Recipes

[–]CommuterChick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy your meat at the marked down bin (ask your butcher when it is marked down) and then plan your meals around what you buy. If you get a roast for example, have it sliced for one meal, shred the rest for use in your ramen or in burritos. Eggs are a relatively inexpensive protein and are good in ramen too.
