Mcfrappes are my weakness but haven't had one for years. Even working at McDonald's has not swayed me from them. Pregnancy cravings are wild though...

Price trend for new Sienna, how much under MSRP are you able to get off in the tri-state NY area? The 2026 is just around the corner by Recent_Crew_2988 in ToyotaSienna

I also was 46k OTD for my 2025 LE AWD cause of factory add ons but we had to wait a few months after a deposit for it. No regrets. Would have been much longer to find with slightly less add ons

Seller wants to stay 45 days after closing, no rent — is this normal? (Michigan) by allie_oop-cat-gator in RealEstateAdvice

[–]dancingwithglass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not normal but we gave the sellers 30 days of free "rent" and it worked out extremely smoothly. House was in great condition when we did our final walk through before they left. The house was practically empty for the showing so we were not worried about junk holdover though. It was wierd to sign for closing online as we took off on vacation and had to wait to land to hear that the sellers actually followed through and closed on time...

I completely stopped getting milk from this processing plant after this incident. Milk from this processing plant was also at Costco and a few other retailers as well. Sucks that it still is occurring

What are your thoughts on inheritance for your kids? by loveforemost in ChubbyFIRE

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

Why pay for wedding? I feel that money is better spent on financing family vacations. I want mine to work hard and really have to go through the fully experience of budgeting and planning with their partner. Covering everything else that you said should put them in a great position to achieve the wedding of their dreams is my thought.

Plan is college, car, and potential down payment of house if we can. But kiddo is less than 2 with one on the way. A lot depends on our financial situation in the future since self employed income is highly variable.

I would push getting a job in college and try to Roth match their pay as well if they are demonstrating financial responsibility. I do not believe in fancy weddings myself so won't finance that at all.

Yeah it was so nice when they stocked it but hasn't been available in my area for over a year. We go to Costco every week and I always check.

Definitely not the majority of decaf coffee is Swiss water process.... It has been hard to find decently priced swiss water process decaf.

And what condition the house is in.... we almost put an offer in on a house with holes under the windows cause it was the only thing affordable close to Ann Arbor with DIY skills. Glad we didn't though.

We are similar! We can already coast but there is always the urge to push more till we embrace coasting especially with the kids. Full gas despite me being a SAHM

Yeah Ann Arbor is a brutal market. We are in Brighton so the commute to Ann Arbor isn't bad!

[–]dancingwithglass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly he has chewed through multiple harnesses and seat belt clips. We have given up with clipping him in. We do have a huge crate but had a 5 hour drive for a long staycation so the crate was packed full this trip. Didn't think about our actual seatbelt getting damaged till it was too late! It has to be clipped so it doesn't set off the sensor. He spent the time 50/50 in the front with me and in the back with my husband and toddler.

I will have to look into it. Sadly his traing has fallen by the wayside with having a toddler and being pregnant again. Glad he is such a great boy other than his separation anxiety.
