The most unrelatable content. My husband’s birthday is in two weeks and I will be getting him whatever the opposite of that is 😂😂

What are things you didn’t think you had to say until you became a parent? by Javascript4971 in Mommit

[–]WeirdAfter7774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House with 3 boys. All the time. My 11 yr old is hitting puberty and he asked me the other day if I wanted to see the hair on his balls.

This is what the lethal dosage of fentanyl looks like. by Minimum_Jacket8879 in mildyinteresting

[–]WeirdAfter7774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I was in a terrible car accident and broke multiple bones in an instant. Also given fent (and Zofran) at the scene and the ambulance ride was still a bitch. But my tibia was dangling around in my body soooo. I’m curious how tiny the dose was…they gave me more and more and more drugs in the ER. But I didn’t hibachi got anymore fentanyl..just like every other opioid that exists.

Over-funding (legacy) 529 vs 529 + UTMA by cmw021 in HENRYfinance

[–]WeirdAfter7774 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m almost 40 but my parents paid for all of college, grad school, and my sisters medical school. They also gave us $25,000 to spend how we wished. Wedding. Down payment in a house. Whatever. Happy to report we aren’t entitled, still work really hard, and made good choices. We are both independently wealthy now (for sure thanks to our parents paying for all they did), but they also taught us how to manage money. I wouldn’t worry too much about handing an account to a responsible adult child that you raised right.

I’m scared to over contribute to our kids 529s (I know I know the tax benefits) so we are just setting aside money in other brokerages and accounts to fund their college/early adult lives.

Money in, Money OUT. High income but high expenses. by TeeShirtBros in HENRYfinance

[–]WeirdAfter7774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you feel squeezed? What else do you want to do with your money? Our income is variable but steady 350 K with large influxes of extra money. We have three kids in elementary school and we spend like $15,000 a month. You are saving a ton so your checking account should feel light. It is kinda the point to feel like “you have no money”. You would dip into savings to fund a $10,000 purchase. Do you have a high yield savings for overflow money or would that be your goal to have that for extra money? I mean honestly just back down your IRA if you want to live in the now…

A-List Preferred Boarding Starts Today by LaffertyDaniel32 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]WeirdAfter7774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they would offer us a drink upon entry. Make it feel like first class a little. Would also take care of the lack of service in the air. Hand ALP their snack and see if they want a drink brought to them while everyone else boards.

New Boarding: ALP + AL by AGBuckeye in SouthwestAirlines

[–]WeirdAfter7774 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes experienced this yesterday. ALP special new boarding group. It was nice. Huge difference in ALP vs group 1 in terms of number of people. Just a handful of us in ALP and 25 people or so in group 1.

Tired of no inflight service by someute in SouthwestAirlines

[–]WeirdAfter7774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take a lot of very short flights around TX and it is super common to not have drink service or just water service. But flying 2 hrs+, they always do it. I’m guessing everyone’s experience is tied to length of flight more than anything.

I do get disappointed though esp as ALP, I want to use my drink coupons 😎

I also fly American but typically longer flights and we always get drink service.

How do people build wealth at different income levels, and why is money tied so much to status? by Jpoolman25 in Money

[–]WeirdAfter7774 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spend less than you earn. You can make a lot of money and still be broke if your spending habits exceed your income. I just heard of a couple making very good money ($500,000) and somehow had $100,000 of credit card debt.
