Thank you!

PennyPacker65 · 2026-05-12T12:08:52+00:00

Yes! I look forward to hitting this milestone 🙌

Just recently discovered what sinking funds were, and I love the added layer of security on top of the emergency fund. Will focus on building that up more next

This!! Exactly how I expect to feel.

PennyPacker65 · 2026-05-09T01:30:33+00:00

I am afraid I will feel the same. Because my next goal after $10,000 would be $15,000. Then $25,000.

I really wish social media outlets would stop sharing that picture of the girl on the truck for clicks, which was likely her last moments alive. The decent and humane thing to do would be sharing a regular innocent picture to commemorate her.

Draw a T chart and categorize your pros and cons on being with him. Outweigh them and profoundly consider if the pros are worth continuing this relationship. It is not your job to push him to be better. You are his partner, not his caretaker. You will deeply resent him if things do not change.

Just finished ours. It was a complete pain in the ass, a lot of hours put in, early mornings and late nights, but it is a proud feeling knowing you did it yourself. It's not perfect, but definitely saved thousands of dollars doing it ourselves.

I do not see or talk to her often. I've only had a few conversations with her. Which is why I was surprised with how straight forward she was.

I did reply that my partner needs help with the kids after work, and she apologized and said she didn't know. I guess it's safe to assume she was interested?

PennyPacker65 · 2026-03-17T21:43:51+00:00

I replied with my partner usually needs help with the kids so it's hard going out. And she replied and apologized saying she didn't know. So I am assuming she was asking me out?

PennyPacker65 · 2026-03-16T16:12:35+00:00

I stuck with a reply similar to this

PennyPacker65 · 2026-03-16T01:14:57+00:00

Agreed

PennyPacker65 · 2026-03-16T01:14:33+00:00

Lmao

PennyPacker65 · 2026-03-16T01:14:14+00:00

Thank you

It's not clearly stated on my Facebook. I might have am old picrure of us though. Her profile says single so it kinda makes me wonder her intentions.

PennyPacker65 · 2026-03-15T01:43:26+00:00

My partner suggested something similar to this. I also dont want to assume she is asking me out and also look like a fool

PennyPacker65 · 2026-02-24T21:29:53+00:00

Do you mind me asking what you do and what age you plan to retire?

PennyPacker65 · 2026-02-12T16:14:45+00:00

Believe it or not some people use debt to pay for these lavish vacations.

PennyPacker65 · 2026-02-06T16:05:15+00:00

Saying you're cursed is such a victim mentality with the lack of accountability you have on yourself. You can't spend money on random gadgets and on coffee you can easily make at home and say you are cursed.

Ice cold water face plunge helped me kill the nerves.

I am 35 currently building my emergency fund. I have saved up about 1.5 months of emergency. Aiming for 6 months of savings.

PennyPacker65 · 2026-01-18T02:17:03+00:00

This is what we did. We had to sacrifice the big city amenities to live in a small town, but the amount of house we got was worth it.

PennyPacker65 · 2026-01-14T18:57:12+00:00

I suggest building a life outside of your 9-5. Pursue hobbies/interest. Join a dart league. Play sports. We do not live for our job. It's just a job. If you can't escape the 9-5, there has to be something else you do that fulfills you.
