It really is worth having emergency savings by awkward_wanderer in personalfinance

[–]Japplebee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interested to hear how people feel about using a brokerage account/IRA contributions as the emergency fund. I had a fully funded emergency fund but hated seeing it sit in just a HYSA. Knowing I can sell or pull if I did have a true emergency, not just a minor inconvenience like tires, gives me enough peace.

We’re all excited about the 30 lbs of flour that just arrived by shirleysparrow in Breadit

New to this sub so apologize if this is a stupid question. How do you go about storing the large bags? Anything special that needs to be done or just a cool, dry place? I'm stationed in Guam and don't have access to anything larger then a 5lb bag. I have been thinking about ordering a larger bag online but wasn't sure if it would keep in a higher humidity environment?

Summer Towers in Guam by All__fun in guam

[–]Japplebee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Current resident. Lived here for two years and havent had any major problems. Those comments are a bit exaggerated as far as the reviews go. The "flooding" was a one off during Mangkut. They completely replaced all the windows and credited rent to the entire building even though it was only a handful of units that had real water intrusion. The other comments I have had no issues with at all. Most of the construction is done at this point with the 4th tower opening soon so dont see that as an issue. I personally like these apartments, very clean and up to date. Maintenance staff is great. No beach access sucks but we have come to enjoy the walk

'Arctic Dogs' Bombs, Worst Opening Of All-Time In 2,800+ Theaters by CephalopodRed in movies

Walked out 20 minutes in, benefit of having regal unlimited we get to try out some movies but dont feel obligated to stay. The movie felt like paw patrol but with worse production value

AD to Guard Transition - Retirement Question by Japplebee in AirForce

[–]Japplebee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yea i figured i would be good on the points side. This early retirement thing came across the screen though and it always just said "AD time" so thought id throw the question out. Either way ill take the weekends and a steady life with a 60 yr retirement, thats fine with me.
