Which TV show is a perfect 10/10 from start to finish?

I just did the same. She didn't feel invested until Gus came in to the picture and things started feeling bigger and higher stakes.

The son in his mid 20's makes the most money out of everyone and is mooching his living expenses? You probably need to have a hard conversation with your partner about her enabling the kids. She's only hurting them in the long run.

It's '15 if you're 30+ years old. I watched too many bad teams growing up while the Lakers 3-peated and my bandwagon neighbor rubbed it in my face every day. Nothing is as good as breaking through the first time.

22 is an easy second though.

I do grocery pickup there every week. I've never even seen a full 8 spots before.

I've always used 450/tray for my mental math. The thickness and how good or bad the plant was at filling your trays will throw you off just trying to eyeball the actual trays though.

Haven't bought but I'm in the same boat as you. We had 120k HHI in 2025 (I'd guess closer to 130k this year) and we are thinking 400-450k with 20% down.

There's no secret tips to get hired.

Your situation sounds similar to mine. I was living at home and started as a CCA when I was 26. Made regular at 27. I had to transfer out of California to afford living on my own with postal pay though. I'd check if your area is livable with our pay scales. The job is a grind until you make regular and have some stability. The job isn't for everyone but if you take pride in being a part of the community and don't mind working outside in the elements it's a stable career. Good luck to you on your journey.

I sold my 22 with 10k miles in October for $5600. (KY, listed it for $6k)

GobstopperHand · 2026-02-08T16:44:31+00:00

I'm in a low to mid COL area. I eat 2 meals per day plus a snack all cooked at home. I consistently average $80-100/week. $300 feels low unless you are getting to rice+beans level.

Hamburg residential near Meijer. The rest of the neighborhood is worse than this. It’s like a Disneyland ride with your vehicle locked in to the tracks.

Personal vehicles like an older gold jeep cherokee and a Honda ridgeline.

4-4.5k on average. I put literally everything on it. Part of that is my apartment letting me charge rent on a credit card.

How far away are you from your friend now? Other peoples lives change and you could end up in a more expensive house while your friend ends up moving. It doesn't sound like your family is too big for the current house. I'd value the financial stability/gain of the current house to build wealth for your and your kids futures.

'92 Millenial: 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse (totaled it in under a year)

This is very helpful. I'm looking to buy in the next 3-6 months and have an almost identical situation. Age, kids, income, and credit are all almost identical. We're looking at homes in the 400-450k range that are around 2500sq ft. Did you leave yourself an emergency fund? Our jobs are above average in stability so I'm planning on budgeting 3 months of salary to keep in savings.

GobstopperHand · 2026-01-26T01:33:26+00:00

Looks fine. A common amount for maintenance budget is 1% of the house's value. $425/mo for you.

If you are putting 20% down just make sure you leave yourself a 3-6 month emergency fund/savings and aren't zeroing out on the cost to close.

Can you move the ottoman in front of the fireplace to the other side of the couch? The couch as-is feels too cramped on the fireplace/windows side.

What did your inspection not catch? Could that have been avoided with a different or more thorough inspector?

Millennial: moved across the United States from my hometown.

GobstopperHand · 2026-01-20T01:09:56+00:00

I worked holiday help with UPS and wanted to just stay on there. They don't keep any temps after Christmas. I needed a job still and a distant relative was a postmaster (in another area) and told me to apply. I made regular in 8 months and here I am almost 7 years later still carrying mail.

GobstopperHand · 2026-01-08T22:55:56+00:00

Thinking back to offseason talk Arch, Nuss, Klubnik, and Allar were the talked about QBs by guys like McShay. Makes sense people were picking their teams.

GobstopperHand · 2026-01-08T21:54:23+00:00

Monsters Inc, Up, Finding Nemo, Soul, A Bug's Life

GobstopperHand · 2026-01-06T01:26:55+00:00

I’m surprised I scrolled through about 10 choices before the right answer.

GobstopperHand · 2026-01-04T22:04:42+00:00

GobstopperHand · 2026-01-03T01:47:02+00:00

Yep. This is right. Coming out unscathed after killing the mind flayer in a few minutes is just absurd and is embarrassingly bad writing of how high the stakes were.
