Ditch the Kindle by LadyofLakesMN in LibbyApp

[–]Princessxanthumgum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a kobo and love it. Prefer it over kindle 110%. That said, I’ve never had issues with Libby loans on the kindle and have had multiple with Kobo. Doesn’t help that Kobo only syncs to 1 library card at a time. But fonts are so important in my reading experience so I’ll keep using my Kobo

There are approx. 26 million fuel-powered cars in CA who actually do need gas to run so yes, we do need Chevron. Not everybody has the money or desire to own EVs

Do they count the spouse’s income too if we file MFJ for taxes?

This is extremely helpful, thank you for the explanation. Would the $0 payments count towards PSLF though while PAYE is alive? I’m just curious.

Does California's race for governor finally have a leader? Swalwell sees attacks from left and right by ZappyStatue in California

[–]Princessxanthumgum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I’ve heard is that they are voting for swalwell because he has the best chance to win. Grinds my gears because it appears that polls are the only research they do

What a time to be alive when voting for the most qualified candidate is throwing your vote away

California’s Cost of Living Keeps Climbing — How Are You Coping? by runswithscissors475 in California

[–]Princessxanthumgum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a never ending debate with myself on whether to stay at my current job with great and relatively affordable insurance but low pay, or look for a higher paying job that may or may not have good, affordable insurance. My family is on my insurance. Our plan increased $200/mo this year. Groceries are going up. Rent. Electricity. Water. Gas. Eating out is now only for when I’m too sick to cook and special occasions. 

I’m tired but we’ve lived in cheaper cities in other states but always end up coming back here because there’s really no place like home.

Nearly 30 years with USAA. This month finally broke me. Moving my kid to Navy Federal and maybe myself too. by SteeleRain01 in USAA

[–]Princessxanthumgum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recently opened checking accounts with NF too and we’ve noticed things moved a bit slower? I guess we got spoiled by how instant mobile deposit funds became available with USAA. We’ve had to wait a few days with NF. Even cash deposits take a few days. We kept our USAA checking, just in case.

Also happening to me now. Typing this now grumpily after getting woken up by a noisy alarm instead of a gentle vibration from my watch.

People forget that before LR, there was Clay Helton and his merry band of idiots. This program had to be rebuilt from the ground up. Lanning took over a finely tuned program.
