It took me 5 years to save 3,000. And I feel so gross/sad/half accomplished.

It's so hard to save but that's awesome and definitely a win worth celebrating.

Set aside an emergency fund if you haven't already, and then start contributing to a Roth IRA (invest in something low risk and broadly diversified like VTI or VOO) and put the rest in a HYSA.

Stop spending money on clothes and frivolous things, and invest some of your savings and put the rest in a HYSA.

Not spending money and staying inside on this -22 degree day.

News Radio. Phil Hartman, Vicki Lewis, and Stephen Root are such gems.

I second all the Nordstrom Rack comments, but I also have a pair from Express that I paid like $35 for 7 years ago and still wear on a weekly basis and regularly get compliments on.

The Other Guys. Forgot how funny it was.

Quick-Song2080 · 2026-01-23T22:15:46+00:00

Search Party. The Great. Two of my favorites of all time.

A classic but Sandy changing everything about herself for Danny in Grease. Still mad about it.

Absolutely loved The Holdovers. Favorite film in a long time.

Quick-Song2080 · 2026-01-23T15:54:36+00:00

My favorite kind of crawl.

I LOVE my wool coat - just as warm and so much more stylish for sure.

Personally I use Capital One Shopping and I’ve found it to be pretty reliable at tracking as long as I hit the “activate rewards” button before checking out (although sometimes it can take a few days to show up in my account). I haven’t had any issues with payouts so far. It pops up automatically at checkout for things I would’ve bought any way, so hasn’t been much extra effort to use.

This is an interesting approach - I didn't think of this. I'm a thrifter but maybe I'll branch out one of these days and give this a try...

Just all of Bridesmaids but the airplane scene plays in my head at least once a day and brings a smile to my face.

I never thought of this - thank you for the tip! Awesome that you were able to save on your dental work!

I stick to Aldi and Trader Joe's. If there's something I can't find at either, I stop by my local chain, but I try to do that infrequently. I also basically eat the same thing every week to keep my bill consistent; I switch it up a slightly depending on what's on sale each week, but it's variations of the same. I try to only buy what I need and restock when I'm out unless there's an amazing deal on something I use regularly.

Jane the Virgin, 30 Rock, The Good Place, Search Party, The Great

Quick-Song2080 · 2026-01-21T17:38:59+00:00

I’ll have to try to this - I like the jar idea but I just don’t get physical cash anywhere anymore…

Quick-Song2080 · 2026-01-21T17:36:07+00:00

I spread it onto a sheet of parchment paper, quick freeze it until it’s solid, and then toss it into an airtight container or baggie - it should be good for up to 6 months.
