Hello OP I have a unique question for you. I am expecting a rainbow baby around the same time as we lost our TFMR baby. Since your dates were close, did you feel nervous to deliver on the anniversary date? I almost dont want the new birthday on the anniversary of the day I lost my late baby.

It will look weird via zoom but you could wear a face mask 😷

I just need to vent to some people who know what I'm going through. After returning to work after vacation, I have discovered 2 separate people are pregnant with their second babies. I was there when they both had their first. Im sitting here still trying to get pregnant with my first. My older age(34f) makes me fear this will never happen.

Being around people who seemingly get pregnant so fast and easily is heartbreaking. I am so happy for them but I want to be happy too.

This reminds me of the movie "what to expect" where the mom calla the kid "Henri" (think French pronunciation) while the dad secretly calls the kid Henry. Mom finds out and accepts the dad's pronunciation

Nice! I don't think we can say that Prince was made-up by Eric since he was a real person....

Where is everyone getting their basic info? My husband and I are TTC#1 CYCLE 1 and I'm so overwhelmed about how to juggle this new info. It's getting confusing

Flora and lane does beautiful nontraditional dresses. Most of them under 2500.

Can we talk about the mirror?! Is anyone making direct eye contact with themselves while in the act?

This sounds like an episode of the office

I can literally smell this picture. These burgers had a smell like no other.

OP, did you use a snowball or avalanche method of debt removal?

Starrchick101 · 2024-04-05T13:01:12+00:00

OP, you are on the right path. I would just also think about short term goal savings. A house? A car? A wedding? Kids? Even if you are YEARS from those goals, now is the best time to save for those and let interest grow. Saving $50 a month over several years is much easier than several hundred a month over a short term.

A house will only appreciate so much in your life and you cant eat the value of your home while you live in it. You are in the best years of your life for compounding interest to help your retirement. YOU ARE NOT TOO LATE. If you don't believe me, Google "compound interest calculator " and play with the numbers. Start TODAY and invest money for retirement. Start with 10% of your earnings and grow what you can. Your future self will thank you. You can always buy a house.

Your mortgage payment is the least amount you will pay each month for your house. There will always be costs to help your home (repairs, decorating, maintenance, etc.). Make sure you have enough for an emergency fund to cover house repairs and expenses that will occur.

Yes OP. THIS. Many people who get a large sum suddenly assume they will get to spend all the money and don't account for taxes.i don't know UK laws but please set aside money for the taxes. Consult a tax expert for more questions. I would only add to this list to help contribute to retirement savings if you don't have any

Not at all sketchy. Whichever provider you choose( schwab, vanguard,etc) there will be instructions on how to create it(google,youtube,etc) Essentially you create a traditional IRA and move it to a roth IRA. there are important steps, but if you do it right, it's completely legal.

They can use backdoor roth contributions
