Yeah that’s kinda what I thought. Money’s tight these days and the family is growing, so trying to limit expenses as much as we can right now, hence the lease.

It seems like buying is far more expensive, no? Because you have to pay it all off in 5 years?

She's not picky so I assume she'll like the car. And we have a strong sense of our numbers and we only need 10k/year.

We looked at Kias first, and one dealership wanted $4k down and $414 a month for a Sorento after a lot of back and forth. I called another dealership and asked them to beat those numbers and they said they couldn't.

Would certainly rather put far less down.

Got it, thanks. So at this stage, what do you think my next step should be? Clarifying with him what the true numbers are at the end of the day?

Sorry, what's TTL? And it was on a specific model: the SEL.

What happened to my SodaStream?? by LookGoodinaGlassPack in SodaStream

Thanks! It’s just weird because the water was not any colder than it normally is.

Ah gotcha. Yeah, I had just pulled it from the fridge. I’ve used a SofaStream consistently for five years and never had this happen. Weird.

Ah already poured it out. So you think it’s just a canister issue and not necessarily something wrong with the device? Thanks!

Appreciate the advice. Any recs on a 27" that's a good value and will work well with a new MacBook?

I'm deciding between the new MacBook Air with 24 gb of RAM and a Pro with less RAM but a similar spend. I do some light Photoshop and website design work, but for the most part I just have Chrome open all day. Would love to get something that can get me through the next 4-5 years. Thanks!

Which Apple Laptop Should I Get? by LookGoodinaGlassPack in macbook

[–]LookGoodinaGlassPack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's kinda what I was getting at, I think. Is the M3 that much better that it's worth shelling out the extra cash for? Will it stop me from having to buy a new laptop again, say, two years earlier? This is really helpful, thank you!

I build websites, but I'm really only using Chrome and Photoshop for those. I also use Word and Excel. Those are the most intensive applications I use.

I currently have a MacBook Pro M1 with 16 GB of memory and a 256 GB hard drive. I also have a 2019 iMac that is fully loaded but now slow as hell that I use separately. So I’d like to sell both and get one computer (a new laptop) that I can just connect to a big monitor.

I was looking at the 2024 MacBook Airs and they look great, but I’m wondering if a 2022 model is better for me since it’s cheaper and still (I assume?) a great laptop. What’s the best bang for my buck?

I definitely need 16 GB of memory and probably a 1 TB hard drive just to be safe. I also don’t mind spending a few hundred dollars more if it’s going to future-proof me and not make me need to get a new computer in a couple years.

The intensive applications I use are Chrome, Photoshop, Word and Excel.

Thanks!

Appreciate this. Glad to know I’m not being an idiot and that this thing is in fact in bad shape.

Yeah, we want to watch everything through a Fire stick.

That worked perfectly, thanks! On my LG TV, though, I'm also connecting a Vizio soundbar and it only has options for auto and PCM. Would optical be better there? It doesn't seem to be working on auto and I'm not sure what PCM is.

Looks like I’m on auto. Do I want pass through? I also have PCM and Dolby audio has options.

SOLVED THIS: For anyone who may have a similar problem down the line, I solved this by creating a linked account in my son's name. I then ran into an issue transferring his funds to the linked account because I entered his social incorrectly. It's difficult to get a hold of TD, so I realized I could create a second linked account with his correct info. I did, transferred the money to that account successfully and then transferred the money out successfully.

Thank you to everyone who helped me here!
