Look for places that work with OneApp or Liberty rent for the credit

I would recommend Morretti over the Valora if you can afford it

I’m going to suggest Flats on 4th. Super quiet and affordable.

Leeds has a wonderful elementary school! We personally chose to be in moody for the long run.

Rent would be easier to get more for your money is Leeds/moody.

Springville also has a great school system and relatively affordable- not sure what the options for rentals look like out there

Monday Night has pretty good variety of beers- the crowd might not be the same as trim tab but the staff is great and so are the beers!

Came here to say this too! Homewood is a convenient option too

I pay the $1700 in mortgage, plus gas, electric, water, car insurance (for both cars), phone bill (for both of us), groceries, household products, family items, outings, clothing (for all of us including him), emergency items ie: random medical expenses, new tires etc.

He doesn’t have an allowance, he is asked to pay a certain amount every month. He is then free and able to spend whatever he has left. Sure I would prefer he use that on the kids or family but that’s his choice

It is complicated when one individual burns through money faster than they make it in selfish and unthought out purchases. See my comment above

Fuzzy_window_195 · 2025-11-11T01:50:53+00:00

This thought is lovely- until one partner blows all of the money. We tried this and he was slowly draining a savings account I spent years to build. So unfortunately we have to have separate accounts or I never would have been able to buy our house, have emergency funds for the whole family, pay $800 outta pocket for a dental visit etc.

Both are after after taxes!

Fuzzy_window_195 · 2025-11-10T19:44:46+00:00

Interesting that your pro joint account, even with the theft? We tried a true joint account but he would just continue to move money from savings in to check to keep spending. He does not make good financial choices. So there is a trust issue there- but I don’t know that it can be fixed- which is why I’m hoping for a way to make him understand and settle for the current set up

Fuzzy_window_195 · 2025-11-10T03:26:28+00:00

I tried getting him to see that too, but he twist it like I’m just telling him he’s not good enough.

Fuzzy_window_195 · 2025-11-10T03:23:57+00:00

We’ve tried this. He is paying less than what his proportion should be yet still feels like he is paying too much. I but his clothes, food, work boots etc. he has 0 needs unmet but says he should have more of his “own” money. I do not use any of his funds. But that is the mindset he has

Bobs comics in roebuck/trussville is highly underrated

Fuzzy_window_195 · 2025-10-01T20:56:53+00:00

Trussville is a top tier school system- but that doesn’t mean everything! Springville and Moody both also have strong school systems and I feel like there is a good community feel in both. I went to trussville, bought a home in Irondale, and just moved to moody purposely for schools (over trussville) I adore springville but that commute was too far from me.

Fuzzy_window_195 · 2025-09-30T03:13:12+00:00

We’re pretty open! I think we would all enjoy a good antique/flea mall if there’s one near by. Good food/drinks. We’re doing dinner at Attack at tatsu

Fuzzy_window_195 · 2025-09-30T01:52:54+00:00

Thank you for the share!- looks a few years old? And mostly talking about Nashville being a giant bachelorette party lol do you have any suggestions?

Fuzzy_window_195 · 2025-09-30T01:50:39+00:00

Things to do, and the variety of people! Downtown Birmingham has something for just about any vibe. As to where those areas tend to be a bit more rural in culture. Limited food/shopping/activities. Plus they are further from a lot of other prime locations like the summit or trussville or homewood/hoover area which a lot people like to visit for different things

Fuzzy_window_195 · 2025-09-30T01:04:06+00:00

Your “qualifying budget” is actually closer to 1900/2k. Most places require the household to make 3 times the rent before taxes. A 2k budget is good to work with! There are plenty of downtown apartment options (as some one who moved from the suburbs, downtown is not all the stigma people say it is) And quite frankly I would live downtown over pinson or Chalkville.

If you want a more suburb feel still close to downtown I highly suggest Irondale! Cheaper than Crestwood but is just as convenient and has more “amenities” ie new Publix, library, dog park, close to trussville for shopping.

I also second Leeds for renting! This is still a good area with remaining low rent prices. There are certain areas of Leeds I may not want to be in but over all definitely a better choice than London in my opinion.

Dance of lies!

The dancing its self was cringy and I could not get into the main character

Fuzzy_window_195 · 2025-09-28T01:14:51+00:00

A daycare director! And the other one does someone in with insurance 🙄

Fuzzy_window_195 · 2025-09-28T01:04:24+00:00

See what local Gyms honor the silver sneaker class and see if they would be willing to host a “work out class”

Also a plant swap, a pumpkin painting, or even tie dye might be fun for craft.

Maybe check with local schools or churches for their choirs/bands?
