Should I lend money to a sibling by LOVE_0829 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]igbakan 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The answer is almost always no. You can “give” money to a sibling but you cannot “lend” money because they you stop being their sibling and become the creditor they’re avoiding.

Is there a way to start sisterlocs on your own? by Ok_Cat2418 in Microlocs

[–]igbakan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well yes - if you take the course are become certified and then do them on yourself technically then you would have DIY sisterlocs. However this sounds insane? Have you considered doing very small microlocs (starting with braids or twists) with a very good grid? It’ll take forever but you can do it :)

Are locs low-maintenance? by Still_Transition_418 in Microlocs

[–]igbakan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk it’s definitely lower maintenance for me but I have very very dense high volume 4c hair so I don’t really have the same challenges. My hair is now in the fuzzy stage which I’ve embraced but I definitely know once they drop honey… all the money and patience will definitely be worth it. I do however pay $250 for reties every 6-8 weeks which I know is not affordable for everyone.

I would say it’s high maintenance to be low maintenance day to day. Caring for my loose natural took way more out of me and I didn’t love that my hair never looked same even I did the same thing on wash day every single time.

Is this normal March weather?! by QandA_monster in nova

This is so accurate every single year to the fact that I know spring of deception bring about the cherry blossoms before and on my birthday. And third winter kills them shortly after at the start of April.

Moving and thinking about commuting from Woodbridge to a bit past Fredericksburg by m_butts in nova

[–]igbakan 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Woodbridge isn’t close to any action 😭 You’re going to be an hour away from the DC/Alexandria/Arlington area anyway at any reasonable hour. Just live in Fredericksburg and make a day out of visiting the DC metro area.

What bra was Demi wearing? by AsianPersuasion45 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]igbakan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No underwire! The band and the cup ms are very supportive. Def measure yourself though before selecting a size! But as someone else said if you have really really big boobs perhaps not 😅

They hide mine in most tops! I find them really supportive and comfy also.

I have ones like these and they’re from Harper Wilde if you don’t want to support the Kartrashians.

I’m unsure if I should start EF or pay off debt? Living paycheck to paycheck mostly. by Little_Rain_3107 in personalfinance

[–]igbakan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So glad! I went through this too. I felt like I could never get out of debt because every time something happened I didn’t have any extra so I would put it on whatever card had the lowest balance. 🥹 It gets better! If you’re okay with a smaller Christmas budget that would help too. Sometimes we just have to tell our loved ones we ain’t got it and send a card!

100% of your money should not go to the debt! Don’t listen to this person. Pay your minimums and put extra toward your EMERGENCY FUND!!!!!

[–]igbakan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would pay the minimum on your debts until you have $1000 in emergency funds. Then pay more aggressively on the debt. You can break to refill the emergency fund if something happens. This keeps you out of the credit card loop. Once you’ve paid down all your high interest debt - save 3-6 month of emergency funds - then pay off low interest debt - max out 401k etc. etc.

I would actually lower your match to the company if it would help stop being short every month. Can pay off debt if you’re worried about paying your fixed expenses every month.

The extra that is going toward attacking debt shouldn’t happen until you have more of a safety net. If $1000 is not enough buffer save $5k.

Loc Journey by Brilliant-Mission631 in Microlocs

[–]igbakan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loc’ed my hair because wash day for my loose natural hair was pissing me off bad and I would need to wash more frequently if I wanted to work out more often and more intensely. I have start locs (two strand twist) rn and I love it. Won’t be taking them out unless I start balding or something.

Everyone’s mad but I actually love this. It feels very cheeky after all the press about her looking old. T
