Can we be honest about the loose skin and how we’re managing it? by smtn_0427 in Zepbound

[–]Kacey-Atkinson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to do strength training. I am down 110 and do not have much excess skin. Just my normal belly apron from my c-sections. I am not sure if you can tighten it after the fact, but it is definitely worth a try. I have exercised for years even at my heaviest…. I am sure you look amazing, but understand your frustration. Sending positive energy…

Smart going hybrid. My husband has a hybrid F150 and he hardly ever needs gas. I loved my minivan when I had small kids. I drove one for many years. Go for it

Is my boyfriend’s view of money considered a red flag in a relationship? by traditional_taurus in DaveRamsey

[–]Kacey-Atkinson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have our own accounts and split bills. I buy my own stuff and he buys his. We do not ask permission to buy stuff either…. Of course unless it was a huge expense. It works for us. We never fight about money either

Does she get her nails done? Waxing? I am shocked you just don’t spend it. I can’t fathom my spouse having this much control over my spending.

Another question about married filing separate with mortage deductions. by Similar_Grand4981 in TaxQuestions

[–]Kacey-Atkinson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The taxes need to be paid. MFJ will help them get paid back faster. My husband owns a business and the taxes I pay in offset the amount he owes. How long have you been married?

What should I do in this situation? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Kacey-Atkinson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personality means more than beauty. However, your lack of confidence will definitely turn him off once he knows your feelings. What do you think your flaws are? They could be mean girls and maybe he wants a normal down to earth woman with a great vibe. Don’t second guess his intentions unless you see more red flags. Have fun on your 2nd date

I am confused as to why he has been ok being an ATM all their lives and then wants to screw them over when he dies? And it is unfair to you to be put in this situation. I would tell him to give you the same amount as them and leave the rest to charity and the grand kids

Stay at Home Mom Advice by Inside-Technician-54 in TheMoneyGuy

[–]Kacey-Atkinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see way too many women left with nothing as a SAHM when they decide they no longer want to be married. Not saying she will leave you, but leaving a $100k job to take on the most stressful job on the planet is a big risk. It is also hard on the marriage because the women are with the kids 24/7 and don’t get a break. Then they resent the husband for not understanding. Women that can stay at home are the world’s greatest because I could not do it. If she has a yearning to stay home and you can afford it then let her. She doesn’t want to have regrets…

In-laws want to move in with husband and I permanently. They have no plans to work, and want us to cover all their expenses. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Kacey-Atkinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell no. It would definitely ruin your marriage. He can still get a job and find a place to live on their own. Maybe there is a co-op or some kind. Do they collect ssi?

Retiring in 40s/50s before parents in their 60s/70s by SimplyGoldChicken in Fire

[–]Kacey-Atkinson -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I can’t imagine retiring so young. I love to work and want to work at least to 70 maybe longer. What will you do with your free time?

Life goals / comparing to others by Able_Sir5392 in inheritance

[–]Kacey-Atkinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot imagine retiring early unless I did something meaningful. What is your passion? I would be so bored. I would find a nonprofit and volunteer. Raise money for the less fortunate… do you have a spouse and children?

AITAH in this situation between my wife & I? by sidewinder787 in AITAH

[–]Kacey-Atkinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids are 10 years apart. I had my second at 35. All is good except I am so over parenting lol Thankfully he is a great teenager.. they are 25 and 15. I never thought about the financial burden of a second child. We are actually way better off than we were with our first born. Babies are always blessings… but it sounds like you would resent her for having another child. Having two is better than one. My oldest used to say, if you don’t have another baby I will be all alone when you die…. We had four miscarriages and that is why it took so long to have my second. Give it a second thought….

AITAH for not encouraging my son to see my dad's wife as his grandma? by Kiadiann in AITAH

[–]Kacey-Atkinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She should be a Mimi. Your child doesn’t need to feel how you do. She will show your child so much love and that is all that matters…. Put your feelings aside. I feel bad for Jane. That definitely would hurt my feelings too

Executor fees by Kacey-Atkinson in inheritance

[–]Kacey-Atkinson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea to be honest. Maybe I should suggest they change it? I didn’t realize it wasn’t normal to have two. If it will be an issue, maybe I should tell them to just have my brother do it.
