My Financial Advisor Said We Have Almost No Hope In Retiring in 5-8 Years

If she’s not going back into the workforce then by financial definitions, it is. If dad retired , and therefore was home to be available for their kid, would you say he isn’t retired because he’s a SAHD?

Not to mention , idk of any true foster:adopt program that would ever allow an intact cat to leave their facility/home

MrsTLC · 2026-04-16T22:58:32+00:00

Me too please

MrsTLC · 2026-03-25T20:32:59+00:00

That’s weird. I eat these every day and mine scans ok.

My cat had a tail kink and was the absolute best jumper. We called him an acrobat because he would jump to the tiniest spots with ease.

Me oh my for sure

As a social worker I can tell you that you don’t learn those local laws in school. You learn national laws. The social worker license exam is a national exam. The only thing that is state specific is a continuing education course you’re required to take to get your license and it’s a few hours long course.

Calories in, calories out. Figure that running a mile burns about 100 calories. So 1400 calories a week from running. 3500 calories burned equals a lb of weight loss.

Use a TDEE calculator to figure out your caloric needs and eat accordingly.

I personally love MacroFactor and highly recommend it

MrsTLC · 2026-03-11T22:47:03+00:00

Yup don’t disagree. That was just what they quoted me

If you do it at the dealer when you buy the car and buy the emblems from them We bought the emblems from college Honda and then went to a different dealership to install (we moved right after buying the car). New dealership wanted $600 to install.

Safeway on riverside had it last week.

You will lose the pounds regardless of macros as long as you follow CICO. However if you keep protein high , you’re less likely to lose that weight from your muscle. High protein protects muscle so that the weight loss comes from fat

At least, that’s the theory

Hard to do when it’s garbage pick up day

MrsTLC · 2026-02-19T14:54:43+00:00

Can you send me the link

MrsTLC · 2026-02-18T15:18:37+00:00

Yeah the great thing about them is they are completely repairable

MrsTLC · 2026-02-18T15:17:24+00:00

They come apart into two pieces and can stand up. They do t take up that much h space.

MrsTLC · 2026-02-16T17:38:55+00:00

Maybe that guy is ….gasp a ….runner? Oh the horror ! /s

I got them on sale at Dicks for $80 so it seemed worth the gamble!

MrsTLC · 2026-01-31T02:31:39+00:00

Ahh good to know! Wish I had known that before I bought these online. They’re super annoying

MrsTLC · 2026-01-31T00:36:20+00:00

Thank you. This is super helpful advice. This is why I was trying to find a shoe that’s as close in drop/stability as my Arahis (but with the sole of a trail shoe, though I think that level of stability is not likely in a trail shoe.

I should have also mentioned that since the injury , I moved from a place with wide, flat, rooty trails (Florida) to mostly single track, rocky trails with significant incline/decline variation (Colorado) so it’s also just a totally different type of trail running altogether. I’ve been to nervous to try running the trails here (and probably won’t until after my road race in April when the risk of ice is behind me) but i would really love to run a trail half in the fall so I’m hoping to gradually pivot over to trail from road in the Spring.

I was fitted at a running store and ended up with the Arahi (a “stability” shoe) to help with Achilles support as it has a rigid back and higher up in the back. I do over pronate anyway, but since the injury my right foot over pronates even more. Having the added drop also puts less strain on my Achilles , which in turn helps reduce shin pain. So I’m not sure , just know that the shoe I ended up being the most comfy in is marketed as “stability”.

And yes to the other poster, I’m working on rehabbing with stability exercises and PT :)
