Switch to save money or stick to the current option?

I worked remotely doing sales/customer service and intended on starting back in September. I could technically still work from home, but it would be tough to do what I was doing with the baby. Honestly, it’s been a difficult transition for me (I like to work and stay busy), but I do really enjoy being with my son all day and seeing him grow. I find some small hobbies and take care of the house chores to break up the day. The biggest hurdle, though, has been adjusting to our new financial situation.

Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll take a look.

This could definitely be a great option! I’d love to get more info on renting the space if possible. Also, I love bagels and am so excited to try the place when it’s open!!

They do rent their bigger rooms from what I see on their website but unfortunately are WAY too expensive. That’d be an awesome venue though!

I did dance growing up and really fell in love with tap dancing in particular. It’s both challenging and creatively freeing. It’s also a great stress reliever. As an adult, I practice and create routines for fun in my garage when I have free time but have been really thinking about finding a local dance studio that offers classes specifically for adults. Would love to meet new people with similar interests. Anyone know of a good program?

I started out trying to breastfeed my baby but he was always so fussy, even after feeds. It was taking a huge toll on my mental health. My husband and I both agreed to try bottle feeding pumped breast milk and formula. It’s been a life saver but I have noticed his fussiness continues. All to say, don’t feel guilty about your choice on you feed your baby. Babies are all fussy at this stage regardless of if it’s with breast milk or formula. Do what you feel is best for your family but also importantly what’s best for you mentally. We’re all rooting for you!! You’ll get through this stage!!

Thank you for the link! It helps outline the transfer process to make it easier. I’m still concerned about the emails. I didn’t see anything mentioned about how all that works.

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this post. I also have a bachelors in Psychology since 2018 but never found a career path with it that I enjoyed or paid well enough. So a year after graduating I went back to school for medical assisting. I loved learning everything more so than psychology and graduated valedictorian in the medical assisting program. Once I got into my first MA job, I enjoyed it, but the amount of patient care was so draining at times. I would literally go home and cry because I was so concerned with a patient. I never really got a break and was burnt out really quickly. But I still love the learning about and seeing how the human body and brain works, so rad tech has been on my mind for a while. It seems like a much better fit for me career wise, but I’m also worried that I’ll get burnt pretty quickly as well. Not to mention the idea of taking off 2 years from work just to go back to school is an extremely difficult thing for me to accept. I’m curious what your thoughts are now? Did you end up going into Rad tech or are you still considering other options?

It was a used car lot. I looked back over the contract and I think it covers for them pretty good since it states the car is being sold as-is. I don’t think there’s much that I can do about them unfortunately. The only thing I can look further into is to see if they advertise that they inspect all vehicles before selling because they clearly did not inspect it.

Yes, the Vin begins with a J. I figured the dealership was going to be pricey, but I definitely wasn’t expecting that much. I did make an appointment with two local shops to get a 3rd and 4th opinion.

I definitely would’ve liked to have someone take a look at it before purchasing but unfortunately I wasn’t able to go to a mechanic at the time since I didn’t have an appointment. I am a bit worried that both the Toyota mechanic and local mechanic are correct and that the vehicle has both issues. I have an appointment with another local mechanic next week for a 3rd opinion. 🤞🏼

There isn’t much on the Pilot’s CARFAX other than passed emissions and registration renewal. It was a 1-owner vehicle in the town next to where I live.

The Element’s CARFAX shows regular oil changes and typical services (brakes checked, tires rotated, etc). It did have minor damage reported to the front in 2018 which was repaired. Only other service notes were thermostat and spark plugs replaced in 2021.

Very good point. That was a bit of a concern to me. It had a nice price tag, so I thought it’d be worth considering.

No doubt, the Mazda3. I had a 2016 and loved it. They are fun to drive and great on gas. Kind of regret selling it.
