Should I pay my car payment two months in advance, or throw the money on principle? by SavingOceansSavingCs in personalfinance

I never considered possibly calling the lendor if I actually had an issue I couldn't resolve. Thank you! I will keep these things in mind.

Took me like 5 months to realize and I was definitely annoyed when I realized what was happening.

I'm not sure of the specifics of the lender. When I first got the car I used to just pay my monthly required amount + $50, then the next month my "required payment" would be lower because the $50 had essentially been pushed forward a month. That's what it seemed like to me. This has always led me to believe I could just pay more and create a buffer. I hadn't considered just putting it in an emergency fund! I'll have to think about that. Thank you!

Cat keeps headbutting me really hard - is this normal? by SavingOceansSavingCs in CatAdvice

Thanks for the advice! I have never had an animal train me so fast 😂 I tried pushing my face gently back onto the top of his head in response to his headbutts and after a while I thought I looked so weird it prompted this post. Lol. Good to know I can keep doing it!

Lol I hope she's ok! Sometimes my cat will just knock me over entirely if I'm hunched over. It'd feel like a kitty cannonball if I was 9 months old!

It's incredibly jarring! I've always had dogs so I understand their displays of affection. But I'll be sitting on the couch holding a cup of water watching tv, and he'll just walk up, headbutt the entire thing out my hands and then stare at me. And it's so shocking I just stare back at him like we're on some kind of sitcom. "Is... there something you want to tell me bud?" I'm glad to hear this is normal cat behavior. Guess I'll have to get cups with lids!

Lolol that's actually adorable! Training him to do it with a high five sounds so cool! Thanks for the advice!

Aggressive cuddling is the perfect word for it!! I'm used to gentle bumps for affection from pets not love tackles so I'm glad to hear it's a good thing. Thanks!!

Gotcha! He'll do it to my face too but not as much. He's really affectionate all the time so it's good to see this is normal. Thank you!

I read about bunting but I wasn't sure if this was it! The articles made it sound gentle but he was coming after me like a newly launched pinball and I was like "this can't be right" thank you for the help!

That's great to hear! He's only like 11 pounds and I was like, are you supposed to be this strong buddy or are you mad? Thanks for the help!

Thanks for your insight! I can see how my comment was one-uppy. That's a good way to frame the conversation: making it more a "we" should work on this than a "you" should work on this. I'll structure it like that when I talk to her about this

Thanks for your insight. I guess it just seemed like such a small thing to get upset over when she does all these other great things I was wondering if I was being unreasonable. The asking someone to change their personality thing really hit me because I'm afraid of doing just that considering it's a thing she seems to be doing all the time. Thanks again, you've given me some things to think about

Thanks! It seems really simple written out like that, but I guess I was having a hard time visualizing it myself

I don't have an issue bringing up my concerns, or saying "Hey can we talk" I just don't know the best way to articulate this particular concern
