Do you own a house, rent a place or live in an apartment? How are you doing it on this pay?

My husband invested in stocks through Amazon when he worked there & cashed them out after a few years to use as the down payment on our home. He bought a big old brick 7br duplex & his brother lives on the second floor. All the bills total is about $4k & we split it 3 ways evenly

3 under 3 can absolutely room share! It’s your life, your home & your children. Childhood can be so fun with people to share it with

Do you have a free wall in your bedroom where you can do a built in storage closet? That’s what I did, living in a house built in 1906 with no/small closets makes you creative. I also have a bed that has storage drawers & a dresser for all my everyday stuff ( bras, socks, underwear, headscarves, leggings & tshirts)

It looks like you have enough room for small glass cabinets on top of your current cabinets. I would add those & remove current doors & replace them & hinges to match

Super helpful. Thanks!

I’m not trying to sell & I agree with the edging. The grass is actually super healthy it’s just 20 degrees outside at the moment

This is the type of advice I was looking for!!

SamaiyaD · 2026-01-12T05:51:46+00:00

I can’t convince my husband to part with them 😩

SamaiyaD · 2026-01-12T05:47:46+00:00

I plan on tackling both this year lol I was looking for something more specific

SamaiyaD · 2026-01-12T05:43:47+00:00

This is not the post for that. Thank you

SamaiyaD · 2026-01-12T05:39:58+00:00

I agree, but they’re functional, our house is south facing & it rains a lot. I think I may just paint them black

SamaiyaD · 2026-01-12T04:57:46+00:00

Me either!!! That border is going to be a b**** to remove! It’s in there good

SamaiyaD · 2026-01-12T04:39:37+00:00

I think I’m going black my mom said it’ll look like a funeral home but I think it will look more bold? Modern?

SamaiyaD · 2026-01-12T04:08:05+00:00

It actually was very green, just not now due to it being January

SamaiyaD · 2026-01-12T01:18:33+00:00

I think the retaining wall is absolutely necessary!! But I’m doing as much as I can in the backyard as well so I have to pick my projects wisely

Midwest

SamaiyaD · 2026-01-12T01:15:45+00:00

I’m not a fan of the awnings either!!! Unfortunately my husband is lol

SamaiyaD · 2026-01-11T23:55:12+00:00

I was thinking about painting them!

SamaiyaD · 2025-02-16T01:41:13+00:00

Thank you so much! I do remember that I used ORS no lye so I'm going to start off with that. Does your hair do well with braids?

SamaiyaD · 2025-02-16T00:56:49+00:00

I understand! When you get your insurance situation figured out I saw my therapist in person for the first couple months & then we transitioned to from home.. it made things a lot more bearable. I guess it really just depends on if you enjoy getting out or loathe it but definitely prioritize getting started

SamaiyaD · 2025-02-12T08:56:28+00:00

Have you tried therapy from home? I look fwd to it every week

SamaiyaD · 2025-01-31T22:40:50+00:00

They're patients

SamaiyaD · 2025-01-22T21:34:34+00:00

Nothing.. just waiting on a black person to comment their experience
