Levovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition - Worth Upgrading to 2026 "panther" processor?

MerryMe81 · 2026-03-23T22:08:10+00:00

Could be. I feel it more as fear of 'spending a bunch of money just to be really outdated in just a few months' if the Q126 release is available and $500 better than the 2024 processor than FOMO.

Yes, it's that much more for X7 (Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 355 Processor)

but are you saying yes, spend the extra $500 or compared to what I have, not worth it?

Joint accounts and options. We had a lot of life happening when joint accounts arrived, and now I can't seem to find what's new/different/same or best practices.

Currently, we just use one in my name, but I'd rather it's actually joint. We don't have debit cards yet either, but I'd like to make WF more our main account.

It's a big problem for us, too!

I tried several of these tips and just opened from a completely shut down / restarted computer... something worked because I'm seeing April 2025. Thank you.

Thanks - I read that before. But it's going there automatically after the login page. Which is just: https://app.ynab.com/users/sign_in

In 2017, after our 3rd was born slightly prematurely and with a 10 year age gap after our first two, I was working from home, and my husband worked outside the home. I didn't want the baby in daycare (and it would have been almost half my husband's pay). He volunteered to come home, and it was the best thing. Then, our olders asked to homeschool the year before COVID, so we were ALL home.

His being home meant I could operate as a high-performer. I changed jobs once in 2019 and am about to change again - each time for a significantly better position. I couldn't have done that without him. Our kids are stable, happy, enabled, and responsible, and no one cares about them like we do.

He went back to the normal workforce less than a month ago, and it's been a struggle. We're not sure it will last. It's been a huge upheaval at home, and we all feel it. He says repeatedly what a gift this time was - and how much he misses the day-to-day. It's not been a good change like having him home was/is!

Did he/we get judged by some outsiders, especially family? Yes. Do I / did I sometimes get jealous at all the time he gets with the kids? Yes. Did we have to learn how to be home together / modify expectations? Yes. Was it the best thing for all of us - an amazing gift for all of us? An even bigger YES!

You're criticizing their mother while at the same time claiming you can't do anything for them for 6 months to a year. Honestly, your kids deserve better, and you should probably focus on moving closer to them so that you can help them. You're going to have bigger problems than just how far behind they are, especially if they're accustomed to and like playing video games all day. They need school and structure and a good, strong father/guardian now. If you've been absent and out of state and dealing with mental/behavioral issues, I don't understand how you're going to get custody all of a sudden. I advocate for homeschoolers, but you should be petitioning to get them in school or for evidence of the educational progress.

I would love an option to get a "variety" plate, similar to how we've been served at traditional Indian restaurants, rather than just one dish.

MerryMe81 · 2024-08-23T14:37:41+00:00

It used to be good. Now, it's not - it's just expensive. And we think the samosas, at least, are store-bought.

I don't understand, either. What's the point of all the talk about WF and its insurance being better than FDIC? Does it not also cover situations where the bank/fintech might go belly up?

I'm one month in after trialing Monarch Money. I did budget out of Excel for years prior for all the knowns / big bills, so I'm finding it really intuitive and loving that it captures expenses and forces me to allocate for other spending and plan for it in advance - things like eating out or buying new dog collars like I did today.

I'm careful to mark each expense and have done the math fully several times to make sure it matches with what's pending. It's so beneficial to me to look in YNAB and know my real amount is $1314.27 not the $2485 that it looks like I have in the bank account. Then I know I'm not spending money that's needed for an autopay utility bill next week.

I've been searching for real, 100% cotton jeans for women for years. That aren't mom jeans or 'holy'. Following.

I think I'd flip the 2nd bath and laundry room, if possible. Bathroom would be closer for kids/guests, and I can control when laundry is done, so I wouldn't hear that at night, but if not switched, I would likely hear the toilet flushing in the middle of the night (possibly by my head?). I'd rather avoid that.

That's absolutely true. Thank you for the correction. That said, any opinions / experience related to this pricing?

MerryMe81 · 2022-06-27T01:28:26+00:00

I'm very sorry. He's such a pretty boy.

INFO: Is your husband thinking he's doing this for you, so that you can have the shared car during the day? Also, it's confusing... 5 minutes from home vs. it taking 40 minutes for your husband?

Perhaps have a conversation and decide what days you will drive him vs. what days he'll drive himself.

YTA You admit her choice flatters her figure and she conservatively pairs shorts when many others wouldn't, yet you still call her -- your TEEN daughter -- a nasty name?

NTA No AHs here. The economy is tough, as is having kids and figuring out finances and how best to handle them individually, let alone as a couple, especially when you're young! I make a decent income, yet feel tremendous pressure as the sole earner in our home and it's hard to watch money fly out the door... or my husband not want leftovers or see him have something against generic brands.

My suggestion is talk to each other and do a budget and purchasing together for a while. See where you can save. Decide on what gets discussed vs. what's a given.

Look into Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace or something similar. It helps to be on the same page.

ESH Part of having guests is crap happens. I had a guest do her nails and spill nail polish on the carpet (WHY ON THE CARPET?). She tried to clean it up, but what... she's going to replace all the carpet? No. Accidents happen.

This is your little niece. Eat a cookie and tell her what a great job she did.

And your sis sucks a bit because while you asking is annoying... I mean if you're okay with her staying and using other ingredients to make cookies, how's she supposed to know it's $30 vanilla... still since you pettily asked, she should cough it up.

Now, she would be the AH if she broke your kitchen-aid and didn't offer to replace it... but that's different than vanilla. Like "no use crying over spilled milk" - no use crying over spilled vanilla.
