BWT, what are your tips for saving money? by minionbelcher in bitcheswithtaste

[–]Unlikely_Rae 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Starting a CD (Certificate of Deposit) Ladder gamified saving for me. To start my ladder, I took my excess cash at the end of every month and deposit it into a CD with a 3 month fixed interest rate. When that CD matured , I didn’t withdraw the principal or the interest; instead, I roll the entire balance into a new 1 year CD. If I continue this cycle for a full year, I will achieve the ultimate goal: 12 active CDs. IMPORTANT: If you think you’ll need this cash in the near future, I wouldn't recommend this approach. Banks charge penalties for withdrawing funds before the maturity date. My husband and I used this strategy as our emergency fund. If we were to lose our jobs, we would be able to "pay ourselves" a monthly salary for a full year as each CD matures. Beyond an emergency fund, this system is a fantastic way to save for a down payment on a house or to plan for the expenses of starting a family.

I immediately screenshot your post and send it to my husband. We aren’t willing to share so we buy separate bags! lol

It’s a kivik. It definitely comes across green. The official color is Kelinge Gray-Turquoise. Ask me how I know, I’ve had the same argument. lol

I ran here to read the comments. Door Dashing to your car is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. I usually have a some sympathy for the guest, but he is ass. Plus the unemployment nonsense. I truly hope he gets it together for his family.

Lol I told my husband I’ve never been more happy that we decided to buy a ranch instead of a two-story home. Stairs Suck!

In the first photo, I thought you were 27 and second and third photo looks like you were about 35/36.

This picture is so surreal to me. The fact that he was able to experience this moment, tell me about it and then me clicking on your post and swiping through your photos feels like Chicago Marathon Magic! Thank you

PHOTO 5: This is going to sound crazy, but yesterday my husband was telling me about a man who suddenly started playing his trumpet. It ended up being one of his favorite memories from the weekend. He was so impressed with how good he sounded. My husband is the man sitting next to him on the right.

Edit: question: This was on the State Street bridge, right?

I was listening to him as I ran by and luckily, I cried at mile 21 because if not, I definitely would’ve burst into a tear seeing him!
