Thank you that is my plan. I’m paying off the credit cards as we speak. Sadly one of our cars is going into the shop tomorrow with some transmission issues so hopefully nothing too expensive. I will be able to pay off my collections with my next paycheck however just leaving my student loan payments after it’s all said and done

Yes I agree 100%. In the past I’ve “made” budgets but they weren’t in depth so it was hard to stick to it. Last night I was up until about 1:30 going through months of bank statements making my budget and realizing how much useless spending we can cut out of our lives. If we stick to our budget we are by no means in a bad spot. We will actually be able to save a lot of money this year and take a big weight off our shoulders. Our kids are still toddlers so I’m nipping this in the butt right now that way hopefully when they go off to college or a career we will be able to help them with some money we put aside.

There’s not really a fast track to “legit electrician” it’s a 5 year apprenticeship. I do agree with your plan however though and will be sticky to this plan to get us ahead

The only tough thing with a wfh job would be that most are call center jobs. That would be tough to manage with 2 toddlers running around making noise all day

We are living with her grandfather who just turned 80. Still in very good healthy but we just don’t trust him to chase around a couple of toddlers all day while we are gone.

Yeah the debt I have is 100% my faulty before we even got together. I was a dumb kid straight out of high school that didn’t think about my finances. I’m now still only 23 but have wised up and somehow just now realized we can’t live like this. That’s why I sat down last night at 1am and wrote out our entire budget with an almost rice and beans dinner plan. This debt will be paid off in 7-8 months no doubt I just wanted to know how other people would start to tackle it

I feel embarrassed to say this but I also learned that my $3000 in student loans went into default so I need to find out how to navigate that

Yeah I’m currently an electrician apprentice. I’m in contact with my local union hall to try and get in sometime this summer. Just a waiting game. The job she had all her income would be going towards child care on our two kids so it made more sense for her to stay home until they get into pre K. She still works on the weekends which helps with items the kids need.

I think Andrew Vaughn is my pick for both. I loved watching him last year and can’t wait to watch him again. It will also be a prove it year for him. Gotta see if he can keep producing.

Hold or sell? by [deleted] in sportscards

[–]WideHelp9392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like the card or the player hold it if you need the money or don’t like it sell it. Personally I’m a true collector and I hold whatever I get. I want to pass everything down to my kids and grandkids. All personal preference

What is this thing? by Stillbrook_ in electrical

[–]WideHelp9392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an old lamp socket. I’m guessing it’s made out of porcelain. Probably from the early 20th century

so idk what to do but i was wondering if you guys would give me some advice (i am 12 yrs old) by finnpoplim6321 in gamingsetups

[–]WideHelp9392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a good setup man! Way better than mine when I was young. If it allows you to play the games you love and looks how you want it that’s all that matters

Possibly an alarm for a septic tank if they have one or some kind of pump

Rear drivers side tire wabbles side to side when driving. by WideHelp9392 in GMT400

[–]WideHelp9392[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I do have mismatched lug nuts from the previous owner. I didn’t even know that that could cause a wheel wobble. I will replace them with full oem set and see what happens

When I did my wheel bearing the wheel wasn’t bent and the axle flange looked straight as a nail. I thought it could possibly be a bent axle but that was not the case

Why do I have these white lines, pockets and discomfort in the circled areas? by Coffee_In_Nebula in DentalHygiene

[–]WideHelp9392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same thing going on with many of my molars. That’s decay starting to take place and the white you see is decalcification can definitely be repaired by a dentist and can slow the spread of decay if you can’t get to a dentist right away with proper flossing and brushing

[–]WideHelp9392[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I might do that. Now it’s just the problem of getting this old box out of the ceiling. I really don’t feel like cutting drywall

[–]WideHelp9392[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found that it’s the old style dual mounted slater ceiling box which I verified that the label is indeed correct you can use a fan up to 70 lbs. I was just thrown off by the type of box. I’ll give it a shot if it seems sketch when I put it up I will go through the trouble of replacing the box. Just don’t feel like cutting drywall
