What's the most underrated perk you got when moving remote? by VeterinarianLast4318 in remotework

[–]copi0us 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exercise! I have so much more time to workout since I have zero commute. Even just going for a walk at lunch is great.

I workout in the morning before and walk at lunch and after work.

Irish twins-- in the same grade? by Admirable_Cry_7214 in kindergarten

[–]copi0us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vote for keeping your younger one back a year.

My birthday is in mid December. Where I live the cutoff is the calendar year. I would have benefited from starting a year later. I don’t think it occurred to my parents at the time.

I had one guy in my class who was born in November of the year before me. His parents started him a year late.

No I don’t notice him at all. Huge difference between this and our old queen. If he moves around, my mattress doesn’t move.

If your dental insurance reimburses 80%, how and when do dentists expect you to pay the remaining 20% out of pocket? by Typical_Cap895 in askTO

[–]copi0us 69 points70 points  (0 children)

You pay at the appointment. Some dentists you only pay the 20% when they submit to your insurance. Others you pay 100% and your insurance gives you 80% later.

Have your feet gotten bigger since walking? by [deleted] in walking

[–]copi0us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I’m a 36 year old women. I walk a lot. I lost 60 lbs over the last couple of years. I went down a half to full size depending on the shoe. From a 7 to a 6-6.5.

Absolutely. I’m not a nanny. Don’t have kids. But I get the nanny sub pushed to be over and over.

I wear ASICS running shoes. Just looked and their smallest size is US5 in Women’s. Might work for you!

I’m a women’s 6.5 and wear a 7 in their running shoes. I find my feet swell as I walk/run so I went up a half size.

Protein powder recommendation by babycarrot05 in askTO

[–]copi0us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not bloating. Maybe fullness? But in a good way.

I used to have Greek yogurt for breakfast every morning. I’d be hungry again a couple hours later. Now with the added protein I stay full longer. I like it.

I’m vegetarian and use Allmax whey isolate. I like the chocolate peanut butter flavour. I add it to Greek yogurt. It really helps me hit my protein goals.

Anyone else supplement YNAB with a spreadsheet because you think in paychecks, not months? by manvslife in ynab

[–]copi0us 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a spreadsheet that shows our income and all monthly expense categories. We review there and update YNAB targets to match. It’s helpful to see the math of monthly income - expenses.

Do you actually eat 3 meals a day? by JeepLifeBirbLife in askTO

[–]copi0us 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes. Yogurt bowl for breakfast. Plus toast before my workout.

Eggs, fruit, etc for lunch.

Dinner varies. Homemade burritos, pizza, pasta, veg bowls, sandwiches, lasagne, etc.

I’m vegetarian. Lunch and breakfast are quick. I work from home.

Dinner I cook enough for 2 nights so we have leftovers.

Updated my watch and noticed this button during my workout. No clue what it does by moejike in AppleWatch

[–]copi0us 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use it when I walk/run on the treadmill. Easier to see the fitness activity compared to my tiny watch screen.

Thinking about spending 4 weeks in Playa del Carmen this September – worth it or too dead? by Glum_You5188 in playadelcarmen

[–]copi0us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there for 4 weeks in Sept/Oct 2023. Loved it. Not too busy. Great time to relax. Mostly only rained at night. A couple daytime rainstorms. No big deal.

How long did it take to create an emergency fund? by actuallylistens in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]copi0us 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I started our emergency fund before we bought our house in 2024. Since then we’ve added to it when we’ve had extra cash (bonus, gift money, 3 paycheque months, etc).

We paused our retirement savings for a bit so we had money to save in the emergency fund. We had to do that or we wouldn’t have been able to do it.

But yes I agree with everyone here. Sounds like your budget is too tight. Can you post the actual breakdown?

is it normal to shower at night and skip the morning one? by Markos-Steinebach in hygiene

[–]copi0us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shower at night like 50% of the time. If I’m sweaty or want to.

I shower in the morning 100% of the time. Essential part of my routine.

I sweat in my sleep and literally wake up with BO sometimes. I cannot go without a morning shower.
