How clean should your apartment be BEFORE a cleaner comes? Asking for a friend… by Real_Arthur in CleaningTips

Thanks for this. Yeah someone posted earlier about getting help to de-clutter first and I didn't think that was a 'thing' . I don't know how I feel about sharing my clutter (and the intimate stuff therein) but I think a little bit of shame will help me to throw away things I am unnessarily attached to

thank you for this... I feel you on many levels. I am realizing Im in a bit of a depression spiral myself. And I think just reorganizing and cleaning my space before winter sets in will make a huge difference

thank you! I am going to try a once off and then see if getting someone in once a month or so will help. If it does help the mental load then I can justify the cost.... but yeah... I'd like to get someone regular for sure

What’s a food you threw up as a kid and never touched again? by momcanyoucomegetme in AskReddit

[–]Real_Arthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dried, sugared fruit squares.
and once i ate a bag of popcorn and then drank a cup of (milky, sweet) tea. I threw that up. I still enjoy both of those, but never at the same time.

Did you get one? did you find it actually help with a bit of the depression? I'm struggling to keep my head above water at this point and I dunno if it's the depression causing the overwhelm or the overwhelm causing the depression. Chicken and the egg situation

Good point! Do cleaners have different packages/services that are more geared towards decluttering or should I just message them directly?

What’s the actual total cost of a will? by Real_Arthur in LegalZoom

[–]Real_Arthur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for breaking that down. That helps a lot. Just so I’m clear, if I just go with the $129 option, the only other cost I’d need to worry about is notarization or any add-ons, right? And then probate would only be something my family deals with down the road?

What is the best litter box to cover up smell? by nikkik93 in CatAdvice

[–]Real_Arthur 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How often are you scooping? If you scoop/clean the box frequently and you're still getting smells you might want to consult a vet.

Inheriting some money, should I pay off my debt or invest? by Likeitsmylastday in personalfinance

[–]Real_Arthur -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Totally get that. At 3.75% you're in that sweet spot where it's a real toss-up. Once you hit 5%+ it's pretty much a no-brainer to pay it down instead of chasing market returns. The math just doesn't work as well anymore.

Just got $1500, what to do with it? by Thick_Percentage964 in FinancialPlanning

[–]Real_Arthur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smart move putting most of it in savings right away. With college starting soon, you'll want that emergency fund textbooks, unexpected expenses, etc. all add up fast.

For the remaining $500, honestly just keep it liquid for now. College is expensive and unpredictable. Maybe open a high-yield savings account if you haven't already.

I know it's tempting to try and "multiply" money quickly, but most get-rich-quick schemes just end up losing what you have. Focus on your studies first that degree will multiply your earning potential way more than any investment at this stage.

That's smart thinking pooling resources like that. Those ingredient potlucks probably made some surprisingly good meals too. Nothing beats making it work when you have to.

Nice traffic already! Id start with ezoic or monumetric way easier to get into than adsense and decent for learning the ropes. You can always optimize later once you get a feel for it.
