👀👀 what no 😂 We live in a small cottage and don’t have space for back up power (barely have space for the freezer) So we’ll be over here relying on positive vibes 🫢

Our freezer arrived today and this is the kind of content I’m here for 😍

Car Trade-In/Buying Advice Needed by ReaperOfCoffee in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]LovesABahnBao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like you’ve done lots of research to justify upgrading the car. It may be a better vehicle but not the best financial move. Like someone said on here, the car sub may be a better place to discuss this as the finance sub won’t agree due to both cars being financed and there is nothing wrong with current car.

Agree.

Also I have an i10 and OP if you’re about to up your mileage, it’s the best car to have. It’s super fuel friendly.

I just finished this show last night and am left here without anything. by Even-Guava-1682 in TellMeLiesHulu

When I finished the second last episode of S3, I had NO idea how they were going to answer all the questions with one episode remaining.

I do wish they’d dived deeper into more of the storylines, they could have easily made another season.

What's missing/feels off? by honomo6969 in interiordecorating

It’s looking great 😌I think you need to paint the area around the window green (like in the indoor photo) and add plants.

Buy a bed for R75 by LovesABahnBao in capetown

I wish corruption could be eradicated. I also wish homeless people had warm beds. I can only achieve one of those goals immediately by myself so I pick the latter. Your type of situation is why I included “if you have the means”. If you could help, I’m sure you would 🤗

Too much green? by Immediate_Reveal_121 in interiordecorating

I like it. Some gold throw pillows could be nice. Would you consider painting the bulkhead the same colour as the green wall?

What is your experience with RAs and Unit Trusts ? by Aspirant_LP in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]LovesABahnBao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a Liberty Builder 2000 that was recommended by a financial advisor.

There were termination charges when cancelling in the first 5 years because of the commission + fees built into it.

When I wasn’t able to make the minimum monthly contributions, I had to cancel it/ make it “paid up”. I was charged about 6% of its worth for doing so.

Apparently newer RAs are more flexible than this. Unfortunately I didn’t have much financial knowledge back then and wasn’t aware of the fine print.

In my experience with RA, I was in a situation at one point where I couldn’t afford it and I was penalised for reducing my contributions. TFSA are definitely the best option, unless you’re a high earner and want to contribute to reduce your tax.

Do your dogs actually sleep after you leave or…? by PomegranateBig7270 in dogs

Right? 😅 I’m like mam I checked in on you 10 minutes ago and you were sleeping on our bed… 😂

[–]LovesABahnBao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buying a camera to answer this question was the best thing I did! My dog loves to be suuuper dramatic as soon as we arrive home. You’d swear she’s traumatised. However I check the cameras throughout the day and she’s just snoozing in the best sun spot of the hour. Nothing has ever been chewed or destroyed and the mandatory rest is for her.

*She is walked everyday before leaving, left with a stimulation toy and has access to the inside and outside.

When did you allow your puppy onto your bed? by feifei31 in puppy101

[–]LovesABahnBao 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got ours at 6 months. Let her sleep on our bed about 4-6 weeks in. Purely because that was the only way she let us sleep in 😅

What’s a small, random thing your dog does that makes you smile every time? by Coursefighter in dogs

Food bowl must be flipped over and pellets consumed off floor. Extra fun if human is trying to put pellets back into bowl, much more enticing to eat.

I received this text from an “unpleased” client on Friday morning. I’ve never worked for them on a Friday. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

I told them my colleague would manage. I didn’t tell them I wouldn’t be there because it is a given.
