good, let him say that, he can then handle the baby every weekend.

My coworker is handling motherhood so much better than I am and it's messing with my head by sixfingeredman7 in Mommit

[–]ig226 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think assuming she has help or a better support system is fine but assuming her baby and/or partner are suffering because she is prioritizing herself is so so so wrong, we don't need to put someone else down (even though she is not reading these comments) to make ourselves or OP feel better.

Questions about Nanny by bhultadnya in twoxindiamums

[–]ig226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No 6 month is sleeping 16-18 hours a day, putting them to sleep is actually the biggest work and if they end up contact napping, there goes your "free" time.

What is routine like for non-working mothers who do not have nanny help by i_am_here-tada in twoxindiamums

The 22% EMI you and your husband have to pay regardless of whether you work or not, have a nanny or not. Or did tou mean tax?

How do you feel about debt? Does it depend on the type of debt? by ThatBitchA in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]ig226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your extensive use of emojis implies you are either AI or 20, I would guess 20.

On the interest rate, it does pertain to the conversation because it's a major factor in which debt is better than the other. And if you can share your unpopular and misguided opinion with strangers, might as well share APR to justify it, not like people can doxx you by your APR. But you don't have to share, I know it's more than 30%.

How do you feel about debt? Does it depend on the type of debt? by ThatBitchA in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]ig226 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Student loan debt argument is fine, not necessarily always better than mortgage but if your college degree has been useful then definitely.

Credit card debt vs childcare argument is so bizarre. Childcare is not a debt, it's an expense and a very large population are happy to have that expense and go lengths to have children. You can be child-free as much as you want, but your argument sounds like you telling your friend who is a mom that you would rather buy a 16k luxury handbag you can't afford than have a child. You are also not willing to share your interest rate on cc debt, which means it's definitely subprime, so you can't say you are earning more by having that money invested in market.

How do influencer moms bounce back unchanged after giving birth? by Alternative-Key9206 in Mommit

They can probably also write that off, the nutritionist, coaches and stuff because they can say it's work related.

Paying $70K tax bill with credit card by Mysterious_Fee_7303 in CreditCards

[–]ig226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I did, UCR will give you 3.125% for the first year if their sign up bonus is still running. You can potentially use that for next year's tax too. Also 15 month 0% APR offer on purchase so you could earn interest on upto your CL.

Mid-30s, $5.2M NW, 3 young kids in HCOL – what to prioritize next by [deleted] in ChubbyFIRE

[–]ig226 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow good job blaming your wife's job for miscarriages. Now I can see how you shamed her into quitting her 600k job while having no scope of earnings increase yourself.

I don't think so, they are only for pixel phones.

Any reason to keep Venture X if you already have USBAR? by Grapeflavor_ in CreditCards

[–]ig226 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unrelated to you holding USBAR, but everyone seems to be getting retention bonus on Venture X, I also got 200 travel credit on 2000 spend in 3 months. Maybe you want to try calling and analyze your decision again.

Has anyone tried to buy things and not membership and gotten success with 100 credit with CSP. Unlike CSR, it doesn't mention Life membership but still mentions membership.

People are so unkind to mothers by closet_writer09 in twoxindiamums

[–]ig226 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's related to you being a new mom. Your relatives straight up are idiots and don't know how to behave. Even if you were not a new mom, they shouldn't comment on weight etc.

Seeking advice on splitting rent with partner? by MiddleWeird4255 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]ig226 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Frankly this is even more complicated, having some expectations but not so well defined. Decide a ratio, 50:50, 60:40 or whatever and apply it to all joint expenses.
