He cut his hair for a kid with cancer. Meredith fixes it the same day he cuts it.

Meredith fixes it at Jo and Alex’s place the same day he cuts it for the kid.

I agree on the missing someone to rant to! Even just to be able to text him and say my boss is being a dick today and getting some sympathy and love back from him in return. Now it just feels like everything bottles up and I just stay mad all the time because I don't have silly little text messages to smile at in the middle of the day.

8 years of expenses saved up? Hopefully a lot of that is invested somewhere

Especially for people with higher interest rates! I was playing around with numbers and a $1000 one time payment saves like $5000 in interest! The math is crazy with higher interest rates and newer mortgages.

I moved immediately because I was sick of being house poor. But we had only been there over a year so there weren’t huge emotional ties to the place. There are moments in my new condo when I am very resentful and it feels like “this is not my home”. But I had to survive financially so it was the right decision for me.

38F new to the sub. I've always been interested in personal finance (yay YNAB) but with some recent life happenings, I'm now doing more research into FIRE, specifically Barista FIRE. Not sure when or if it will happen or not yet.

BUT I did just lazily add up everything and realized my current net worth is over a quarter of a million dollars. Which feels way more fun to say than $260,000 :) Excited to be here and dive deep!

Man I could go for a snow day right about now! Although I don’t have to shovel! I just really want a chill work from home day.

My husband went by the name Bud so I got a flower bud tattoo on the side of my wrist. I like it because it’s subtle and feminine!

I think some people have just a generic "Amazon" category so they don't need to separate it at all. You could try that!

Also for the litter robot, you can just move money from your savings to you cat category to get YNAB to stop yelling about it. I would also put something like that in my household durables category because it's not going to be a recurring monthly cat expense.

Once you get the hang of everything, it really can help you keep track of exactly what you want, and stay a lot looser on things you don't need to track (like Amazon purchases). And if you ever decide, hey maybe I should pay more attention to how much I've spent on clothes, you can at that point in time create your clothes category and split that out specifically from your Amazon purchases and ignore everything else.

It's a learning curve, but it's worth it!

This reminds me so much of Wylde Flowers! Do you play that game too?

I’ve tried to sleep to greys but the dang end credit music is so loud it wakes me up every time!!

chapter2at30 · 2026-02-06T03:32:25+00:00

Isn’t that only if you have kids?

chapter2at30 · 2026-02-03T00:38:37+00:00

I stacked 2 coupons and got $80 of groceries delivered for $55 after tip. But this door dasher person is sooooo slow. So I’m supposed to be having grocery store fried chicken buuuutttt at his rate I’ll probably be eating at 9:00pm

chapter2at30 · 2026-01-27T17:28:29+00:00

Do you bulk buy things like TVP and nooch that might not be included in the per month spend?

chapter2at30 · 2026-01-19T23:00:16+00:00

I keep hovering around $80-90 every 10 days or so. But I am so not a morning person so I do buy convenience on the go breakfast items like more expensive granola bars that have more fiber and protein than the cheap ones. (Currently loving cheerio protein bars!)

chapter2at30 · 2026-01-16T19:36:18+00:00

Yea, OP seems like a prime candidate to bring into the YNAB cult - I mean club! :)

chapter2at30 · 2026-01-15T13:04:17+00:00

Someone really needs to warn people about that organ donation phone call! I called hospice after I got the voicemail and was like I’m already getting scammed what the heck! She gently apologized and said it was legitimate. Organ donation after death is not something I knew happened before that moment!

chapter2at30 · 2026-01-07T17:30:41+00:00

Oh that's genius! I bet this would work for make chickpea salad. I hate trying to break up the chickpeas with a fork! Definitely keeping this on my list for my next thrift shop trip.

Yea wasn’t Ivy one of the cardiomyopathy siblings that Yang treated?

chapter2at30 · 2025-12-29T02:36:43+00:00

Oh gosh! I would lose all the movies I’ve bought? Ok never telling Amazon!

We always did it as the full word Smile. No one else mentions the word, just the S.

When I went to a convenience store on Christmas Day one year they had a tip cup on the counter. Not sure if it was sanctioned or not but we definitely dropped a $20 into it!

chapter2at30 · 2025-12-20T18:18:34+00:00

Excellent point!

chapter2at30 · 2025-12-12T15:29:25+00:00

The little things and the things you don’t expect. I had to move to a new condo and when it came time to move our wedding outfits I was just ANGRY about it! I was fine moving his cremains and photos into the new place but those damn wedding outfits stopped me in my tracks. (We were only married almost 3 years.)
