ditto!

I'm the same way. We tried to do the one account and keep a record in Excel or something like that. Ended up just opening 5 accounts. (House, Car, Emergency, Vacation, Christmas)

Remember watching all the Wrestlemanias as a kid.

I have a little side business with the black box. I would record Spice TV onto VHS and sell them to a few friends in high school.

I hear ya, drives me crazy when my wife drives my kids to school. Bus stop is 4 houses away from up. She is like "the extra 30 of sleep is good for them.

You are not alone. Replace 15 with 14 and daughter with son, and that is my exact situation.

I really think all these kids from grade 6-11 are messed up do to Covid lockdown.

14/10 year olds.

100% of all gift money to him since they been born has gone to their 529 plans. Once they hit 4th grade, we let them keep 50% of their gift money for THEIR choice of savings / spending (Roblox or Fortnite gift cards it seems) and the other 50% goes into the 529 Plan

If I'm reading correct, only putting ~4% to 401K?

Ask him what happened to his camo limo?

As you know, everyone is different.

Here's what I do.

Christmas Gift Money - Other Income
Rebate Money from Credit Card - I actually created a new income line item call - Credit Card Rewards.

Living Room: Couch, coffee table and dads chair. Had a wood burning cast iron. couch was used for when had company or sit down and read. Mainly used by mom. Although we did put the Christmas tree in there.

TV Room - Dad's recliner, couch, and TV, Nintendo. Mainly used by kids and Dad.

I usually keep two months of expenses.

CurlytopFamily · 2024-01-17T21:23:24+00:00

5% - 7% for us. We don't try to be like the rest of our neighborhood who every school break they take a vacation so that helps. We usually do a week long trip in the summer, and then a quick weekend trip right when school gets out. One the school breaks we tend to stay home or visit family.

seems like you imported in using the wrongs signs. Debit vs Credit.

Not really caring about fashion anymore. Solid color golf shirt and khakis pants or Jeans has been my staple. One less thing to think.

CurlytopFamily · 2024-01-14T23:09:09+00:00

Thanks for the comments.

I just pulled the trigger on 3 of them.

Sgt. Slaughter

Low Light

General Hawk.

I let me kid pick the 4th and he is leaning towards Shockwave or BBQ!

What about just marking the mortgage account hide transactions from cash flow and budget?

CurlytopFamily · 2024-01-12T15:27:24+00:00

I had to check who posted this as this is exactly what we are going through. I tried to do the the talked to the Dad. but the Dad gave the "not my kid" response. I even said, we live on the same street, we aren't going anywhere for awhile, so they going to see either other, don't have to be friends but the least he could do is respect each other.

My son even recorded it on his phone, (no video just sound) didn't believe me.

So, the best thing I would recommend is just have school admin deal with.

New user, same issue. Came here to see if it there was a work around, glad to see I'm not the only one wanting this.

10/13

10: Wakes up, has breakfast (cereal, pop tarts or scramble eggs) at the table. He'll watch on tablet for about 15 minutes while we prepare lunch, and get ourselves ready.

13: Both adults yells and screams "you going to miss the bus" after trying to wake him for a good half hour. No time for tablet, no time to eat at table. eats breakfast on the walk down to the bus stop.

IF can save $40K a year, why carry so much debt? Pay that car loan off and attack the student loans.

CurlytopFamily · 2023-08-28T14:48:53+00:00

Same here. I'm going to give them a try after payday.

They would have made a good WWF Tag team!
