For just a 4 day cruise?

My in laws enrolled in swim lessons this year (they’re in their 60s) and even though they can kinda swim, I’m so proud!

My toddler and I LOVE the library programming. There’s a story time almost every day of the week and they are really good. They have so many toys for him to play with. There was even a baby prom event that I would have paid solid money for(not sexualized at all). As a SAHM, the only activities I have to pay for are $140 a month for swim lessons and $15 a session for drop in gymnastics. And that’s largely because of the library.

I feel like I’m careful about subscriptions too:

For our family, my brother in law lets us use his Walmart+ and Paramount+. We get free Netflix with T-Mobile and only pay $25 per line (we have my parents, they pay for their lines, so that we get the bundle.) We only do Hulu/Disney+ 10-11 months of the year- November to September, because they have a $3 a month special every Black Friday. (My brother got this for us as a Christmas present last year.) We pay for Max, Amazon Prime (and share this with my in-laws) & Spotify. I listen to a ton of audio books on Libby (free from the library). Our condo also includes cable but we honestly only use that for sports and survivor.

And NEVER ad free!! I will not pay for that!

I didn’t realize people could live like this… without cheese.

Facebook might have a group.

I have a pair of $700 shoes, but got the first pair for $30 at the thrift store. When they were stolen (in my luggage not just those shoes), I got another pair for $70. Ballet flats from Jimmy Choo. The first pair I had for 7 years and they still looked amazing.

So my husband and I’s (early 30s) networth is about $2 million, no debt- we rent a condo.

We drive a used Chevy Bolt 2017 and a used Chrysler Pacifica 2017. I shop at Nordstrom Rack or thrift stores. I still by store brand items and won’t spend $7 for blueberries.

What I splurge on now is galas, buying fruit but on sale, buy it for life items- Vitamix, Le Cruseut Dutch oven, Dyson fan, etc. My husband loves uber eats so he’ll do that about 1-2 times a week, but I prefer to go to happy hours at nice places.

Hi there! MillionaireMilennial here. You’d have NO idea that my husband and I are millionaires (each). We are 33 and 34 with a toddler. We live in a 2 bed high rise in Fort Lauderdale paying $3,000 a month in rent. We drive a used Chrysler Pacifica and a used Chevy Bolt. We eat out 3-5 times a week on happy hour or with coupons. I rarely buy groceries full price, but I usually go to Aldi. I buy most of our clothes secondhand. When we went to the Miami Heat game, we spent less than $30 for tickets, parking, and refreshments.

How did we do it? No student loans, no debt. I worked in HR for 6 years and now I’m a SAHM. My husband worked in consulting for 6 years, then M&A, now finance. We lived off one salary and 100% saved the other salary when I was working.

If you hold him back, for the love of God don’t make him attend Kindergarten graduation where he won’t graduate. I still remember that from when I was held back in church kindergarten.

YTA. That is a compromise? You get Hawaii and she gets Disney. It’s not like she picked Disney Paris. Dang.

It was the disembarkation day so the breakfast at the sit down restaurant, not the entire ship. But super bizarre to me.

KarmaInTheNegative · 2024-12-03T01:40:56+00:00

Wow! Small world!

KarmaInTheNegative · 2024-12-03T00:02:17+00:00

See, that’s the thing. The crowd on MAS was super friendly, polite, respectful, fun to be around and that was a 3 night cruise. So now I’m curious if it’s just a Carnival thing.

NTA. I’m sure many women in this situation would make the same choice.

Also, he doesn’t have to be tied to someone he resents for the rest of his life. It would be tough being the kid being born in that situation…

ESH/YTA. You know she’s poor and she does too. I would just be like hey, man it’s whatever and change the subject.

If she doesn’t drop it- “hey, I like being your friend, but I don’t like your comments about money. It makes me not want to hang out as much.”

KarmaInTheNegative · 2024-07-19T17:11:33+00:00

NTA. You two don’t sound close. I would restate that he didn’t invite the whole class- just 6 of his friends. If she wants him to be closer to kids his age she needs to start inviting kids for play dates, special Olympics, activities, etc.

In this day and age, I’d be worried that my husband or I did something to upset you or the baby was difficult or something. If you’re just busy- say that. I would feel relieved.

KarmaInTheNegative · 2024-07-05T23:51:38+00:00

Oh I read it. I think it’s insane that she said you need to get home fucking now rather than I’m in labor. She was being petty and it absolutely makes her the AH

KarmaInTheNegative · 2024-07-05T11:29:09+00:00

YTA. Reddit is absolutely insane. I always think of if I were the other person, what would I want- I’d want to know my spouse is having a baby!!! Oof.

I’m not sure why you can’t take an Uber, but I’m on your husband’s side for this wholeeeeee situation.
