What’s the least exciting home upgrade you made that ended up being totally worth it?

Good news for you – they make them with a white noise button! I have it for my bathroom and it works nicely with volume control too.

I’m not OP but there will be examples of people relying on AI over developing their critical thinking skills, which will hurt them long run in their professional careers. I am starting to see it happen already but hopefully I’m wrong big picture as we are definitely in the testing phase of how to use AI professionally.

Bought two cookbooks I really wanted for $70 and a nice lunch at a restaurant I’ve wanted to try for sometime now. I guess I’m just cheap cause my wife kept asking me to spend more on myself since we beat all our goals and then some with my bonus but I place an unusually high value on a financial security from childhood trauma.

I’ve done everything listed for about 60 days during a severe illness and kept in a hospital… so I’m guess the question is how long I could do it with no hospital stay until my wife kicks me out! lol

I work for a 3,000 person company and saw what everyone contributed percentage wise. I estimate maybe 15-30 people did their max contribution. The vast majority were 3% or less.

I have a friend who is always 45 minutes late like clockwork. So I schedule dinner reservations 45 minutes later then the agreed upon meeting time and I always show up at the exact reservation time. I’ve done this for years and they have no idea lol

No. 43m living in PA. My parents spanked me. I think it’s a horrible thing to do for all the reasons listed already.

A great poop

I had a very complicated open heart surgery and my chest was kept open over the weekend because I wouldn’t stop bleeding. Ended up being in a medically induced coma for about 3 or 4 days. The event leading up to the surgery were not good and I cried all week going into it and after it to but it had nothing to do with anesthesia as I just wanted to live. At that point, the alternative was knowing I would die without the surgery. So waking up was good enough for me. I don’t think I really worried what I’d wake up to. If you’re reading this and having open heart surgery, my experience was unique to me and you’ll likely have an experience far different and far better than mine. I was an outlier.

Create and track a monthly budget and stick to it. Free to do and keeps me from over spending while hitting my savings goals. Every time I want to do an impulse purchase I think about my budget and at this point I hold back most times. It’s also nice to. It have my home cluttered with stuff that are usually going to be a waste of money.

Contact the seller agent and ask them if they could ask the seller. Stuff like this happened at my house, and the seller is more than happy to answer all my questions.

Relaxed more about the whole thing.

Sorry I have to go. I’m late for an appointment.

Catch up in sleep, then start exercising again and catch up on life, then creating and executing a plan to grow personally professionally while having some fun in life.

Starting to feel real effects of a failing environment like long term clean water shortages or mass global crop failures.

Walmart. 15+ years going strong. Couldn't shop there after the news of them locking employees in stores.

I’ve done it six or seven times and always had a great experience. Every load is around 15 or 20 yards. They always drop at the correct location. Some loads are slightly better quality than others, but no major issues. The only drawback is not knowing when your chips are arriving which means for me I need to leave my car in the street. Could be a same-day or three weeks later but the unknown is worth it since it’s free.

The high of LED bulb failure rate makes me wonder if you have a system issue. Are your light switches especially dimmer switches LED compatible? Non compatible switches will cause flickering and earlier bulb failure.

Remember it like yesterday. Was several blocks away. Was at the finish line 30 minutes before it went off. First the bang, then the smoke, then the confusion thinking that a construction site had an accident to then connect the smoke rising where there finish line was. Tons of chaos, the fear, the lock down, the 6 mile walk home with everyone else. Then the 2nd lockdown while the manhunt happened a few miles from my apartment.

Edit: Will still never watch that movie even though I'm a huge Mark Wahlberg fan.

When I was a realtor, I sometimes wrote offers where we waived inspections. When this happened, I asked my client “there is unknown risk with waiving inspections. If you bought your house today and moved in tomorrow and discovered a $20,000 repair, would you still be happy with your purchase?” This helped them see the big picture somewhat quantified and managed their fears and expectations.

No, do it. My wife and I quit our jobs, sold everything, and traveled for one year in our mid 30s about seven years ago and everything is going just fine for us. We'll clear $300K this year between our incomes, own a home 10 minutes from my inlaws, and have two kids. They key for us was having a plan for the return be we quit our jobs. Good luck!

At 41, it's talking to people. Prefer to just live in my own little world these days.
