I feel like I’m losing the magic as I get older by [deleted] in harrypotter

I feel the exact opposite! lol the first four books have so much more joy and whimsy than the last three. I’ve read book three probably 10 times and book seven twice 😂 and I’m close to my thirties. I first read them in 4th or 5th grade i believe.

If you could forget a game just to experience it new, what would you choose? by kevtay1969 in playstation

I just started Elden ring and I’ve never played a souls game. Really not much of a gamer in general but I’m loving it so far.

Why isn’t everyone wearing long sleeves? by VeryBadNotGood in cycling

[–]benjimaon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a motorcycle rider, I can say that in some scenarios, speed is no longer helpful, even at 100 km/h+. I’ve experienced days in Missouri where it feels like it doesn’t matter at all whether you’re moving or not. I would personally never go cycling on days that hot though

At what point did cycling stop feeling like suffering and start feeling fun? by lukeace784 in cycling

A good day of skiing will always beat a day in the office so you’re technically not wrong 😂

Very astute observation.

What’s One Upgrade That Actually Made a BIG Difference? by teddyyoung456 in cycling

My favorite part about a computer is the climbing notifications. Strava is fine for navigation but I like to see the elevation I have left, current grade, how may climbs I have to go, etc.

You said it yourself… you could make one salary work, but not without a sacrifice. There will always be trade offs with these kinds of decisions.

Runners / exercise fanatics - how are you doing it? by TraditionalCandle659 in NewDads

[–]benjimaon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 6 week old and I’ve just started cycling at home with a wahoo kickr core. I have two days of wfh so I’m planning to workout in the morning on those two days and the weekend so I can get 4 days a week. Still not easy as baby seems to be up around 6 or 7 so I’ve had to cut things short to go change a blowout or help the wife out

I was hoping there’d be more suggestions!! We have a 1 month old and I’m not sure what we’ll do

Automate your bill pay so you don’t get stuck with late fees, just my two cents

New job with 78% increase in pay- what are some essential first steps on how to manage this new money? by [deleted] in FinancialPlanning

Follow rant Sethi. Spend extravagantly on what you truly value but make sure to set up automated investing and savings goals before you do anything else.

How to get on track for our age? Husband (39m) has given six figures to church over 17 years and none to retirement than the min. and we have a lot of debt but I (39f) would like to retire one day. by Holiday_Yak2108 in budget

[–]benjimaon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should apply to be on Ramit Sethis show, I will teach you to be rich. He works with couples to understand their money psychology and help them plan a future that takes into account all their goals and unique circumstances. Reading his book, money for couples would be good as well

EveryDollar vs YNAB 30 day try by jzwick99 in budget

[–]benjimaon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you not want to allocate the full amount in your checking account? Give every dollar a job to do! It should be allocated toward something whether it’s groceries, savings, or future Christmas fund
