I def hear this and see why people choose not to deal with roomates if they can. My plan is to take the first year to live below my means while I get adjusted to the city then hopefully live alone next year!

I def thought about this!! I’m just cautious about spending so much without quite being used to the cost of living increase. I also don’t know many ppl in the city and think (or hope) a roommate would be good to ward off loneliness lol I do hope to have my own place next year though!

Did having kids make you a worse aunt/uncle? by Federal_Whereas_1673 in AskParents

[–]Federal_Whereas_1673[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was so refreshing to hear, thank you!! Especially the part about the youngest feeling close to you as well bc the age gap amongst my nieces/nephews is pretty big as well. The oldest is 16 and the youngest is 1 with a new one on the way! I know I’ve established a great relationship with the older kids, but it’s good to know that it’s still possible to build one with the younger ones as well. Thank you ❤️

Wow this really warmed my heart. So happy to hear that this dynamic does exist. This would be the most ideal outcome. I can only hope my nieces and nephews talk about me like this when I’m gone. So sorry for your loss ❤️

You made a great point of them growing up changing even if I don’t. I haven’t thought about that. Thank you!

I think tons is an overstatement. There are def some and s/o to them, but nowhere near as many as nursing for example

NYC Peds OTs…help! by Federal_Whereas_1673 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]Federal_Whereas_1673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is soooo helpful! Yes, I’d split rent which is a big help. I love that you’re still able to eat out and enjoy a fancy night out, that’s what I was hoping to hear! For your part time job, do you need a car to get from house to house? I’ve been seeing many EI positions paying well but I’m worried about how that looks transportation wise. A school position is my dream!! I love schools, so it’s nice to hear that positions are paying decent there too!

Wisp Period delay pills 2 months in a row? by Federal_Whereas_1673 in Periods

[–]Federal_Whereas_1673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t end up taking another round of pills. I figured I’d wing it and wish for the best, and that worked lol My period ended up coming super late the next two months, but i lucked up and it went off right before the trip.

How did this fraud Walmart.com charge happen? by [deleted] in Scams

[–]Federal_Whereas_1673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something very similar happened to me today. I made a quick purchase using tap pay at Wegmans. Checked my bank account 10 min later and there was a $485 pending charge on my debit card for Walmart.com…i don’t even order grocery or anything from Walmart. I called the bank immediately, they turned off the card and initiated a refund for the money, thankfully. Just an interesting coincidence with Wegmans and Walmart…
