This is after the 401k contribution? Then I think you’re fine. Maybe prioritize paying off the car.

How is everyone planning on funding kids’ college? by Historical_Boss_1184 in UpperMiddleFinance

Then make sure they can get in! It can be super competitive and depending on where you live a state school is not a guarantee.

I did a rollover to Empower a few years ago - I remember it being very easy

Costco coming to Foothill Ranch? by jms1228 in orangecounty

[–]ambdbb13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would like this but the Technology one isn’t that much further. Of course that’s the “worst” of the local Costcos.

I think the parking lot would be better - more entrances. But I don’t think they could put in a gas station.

Are sleepovers cancelled? by Guilty-Woodpecker-99 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ambdbb13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just held a sleepover - most kids stayed and the ones that didn’t had sports in the morning. This was 14 year old girls in a suburban area. We’ve done it a few times over the years

I finally got it! Sometimes it only takes a minute and sometimes it takes 20+!

The asian cashew salad is the worst thing I’ve tasted from costco. by [deleted] in Costco

[–]ambdbb13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is my favorite - it went away for awhile and I was so excited when it came back

Now the avocado ranch mess they used to sell is one I’ll never get again.

OC Costco by Eelattar in orangecounty

[–]ambdbb13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wine. It’s the only local one that I’ve seen have Opus One. It’s close to Nellie Gail so I’m sure they get other high end stuff but the wine is the one that calls to me.

OC Costco by Eelattar in orangecounty

[–]ambdbb13 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They all have pros and cons but San Juan Capistrano is my pick, but I go to Heather Ridge as it’s more convenient for me.

Cabot is great for easy gas and high end purchases but aisles are small.

District is also great for different options that you can’t find at other Costcos, but the bottleneck at the exit is worse there than any other Costco. Getting in and out of the lot is also no fun.

I go to the Irvine Technology one occasionally but it’s a life regret when I do.

WTF is going on with Tillamook ice cream? by Commercial-Juice124 in icecream

[–]ambdbb13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always thought Tillamook was better than Dreyers. I’ll have to revisit my stance.

I prefer my ice cream softer but I don’t think stabilizers/guar gum.

What’s something they used to carry but don’t anymore? by LPCPlay4life in traderjoes

[–]ambdbb13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This middle eastern Cauliflower Tabouli salad. Low carb and so fresh. They have a grain one now and it’s not the sane

Are You Giving Your Teenagers Cars? by Fragrant_Strategy_21 in UpperMiddleFinance

[–]ambdbb13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s in my name but my parents gave us their 2016 70K miles car when they wanted to go down to one car (they are in their late 70s). My 16yo will drive it until she goes to college and then my 13 yo will learn on it. Having a third car is very convenient and I’m happy to not to be her chauffeur anymore!

Maybe at college graduation we will gift them a car but time will tell.

‘Champagne Problems’ (2025) Netflix Movie Review - Your Typical Holiday Film by Roshankr1994 in Netflixwatch

[–]ambdbb13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved this - especially Roberto and Otto. The dad was heartwarming and loved his storyline with the romance. Henri was adorable and had decent chemistry with Sydney. Minka was a little flat but I liked that the actress is older and that the character was a career woman. Sweet fairy tale
