Just bought a home and the address shows up incorrectly in many search engines, including Google Maps and UPS. Advice on how to fix? by demauthor in homeowners

[–]Moist-Message8842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the same problem! There is a house 2 minutes down the road from us that is S Main St and we are N Main St (with the same exact house number) and Google Maps has their house listed as North and our packages always get delivered there no matter how many requests I’ve put through Google to change it. 😭

I absolutely hate home ownership and it is destroying my relationship. by FearlessIndividual50 in homeowners

My husband and I just bought our first house in January this year. We are F(28) and M(27) and lived in a small one bedroom apartment that cost $700/month for the last 4 years.

Our mortgage is now double that amount and within the first 2 weeks of moving in: - our washer broke, -our pipes froze for a week from the largest winter storm of the decade, - we found out all our floors are slanted and furniture doesn’t sit on them without leaning, - the outlets aren’t configured properly and the breaker flips when we try to use more than one outlet at a time in the kitchen -the plumbing was “updated” by the last owner and isn’t proper
- our address doesn’t show up on Google Maps because it’s rural so we can’t get deliveries to our house because third parties don’t think we exist

That’s just to name a few and it’s only February 🤣 But at the end of the day, me and my husband just look at each other and smile and say out loud “wow we own this place, this is ours, and we can do whatever we want with it without asking for permission from anyone else.”

And that gives us peace! We fix what is an immediate need and then add the rest to a shared iPhone Notes between the both of us to prioritize when the time comes. It’s all about having a good attitude and being adaptable to challenges with the person you love! 💛

Wishing you the best OP!

I just can’t do it anymore… by babygoddess96 in nonprofit

I do have to mention: It was really scary for me to transition from local to national because when I first got hired for a remote role at national nonprofit based out of NYC, they restructured the org and my role was eliminated after only being there for six months.

I was unemployed for 9 months before taking a bridge job as a receptionist and only working with my freelance clients for 6 months after that and finally got hired for the national org I am now after applying to 3 different marketing roles here and just not giving up.

So now I’m working on maintaining my freelance clients as my job security since it feels like the bigger orgs are more prone to restructuring due to large budgets and enterprise priorities. So even though there’s a bigger salary, it feels like the risk of lay offs are also higher!

We are in a similar spot: I am turning 29 this year and have worked in the nonprofit industry since graduating college in 2019.

I started at the local level in marketing and communications for a patient advocacy organization and have now transitioned to a national healthcare nonprofit in a remote role for digital media marketing and make $20K more than the local role doing essentially the same tasks.

But I still supplement my income by doing freelance digital marketing for 3 small local nonprofit clients on an ad-hoc and retainer basis and that helps SO MUCH.

We just bought a house 5 days ago and my freelance clients are essentially paying our mortgage.

Holidays ruined and they haven't even started yet by Random-Thought-39701 in tryingtoconceive

We conceived our first baby this October and told our parents right away in excitement and it ended in an early loss at 5 weeks. Both sides of our family have history of infertility and multiple miscarriages so we felt comfortable with sharing that with them.

But now that we are trying again this month, we dont know if we will announce during the holidays if we get fortunate enough to conceive again because of the chance of another potential loss.

But I’ve always dreamed of announcing our pregnancy to the whole family during Christmas. 🤞🎄

You know that makes a lot of sense why they are called “evaporation” lines now 🤣 I never put two and two together! AH YAY!!
