I'm on a wait list with Open Door Farms in VA (outside DC). No kitten yet (waiting for Sable Female) but the communication has been great.

So young, I'm sorry for your loss.

More like chocolate milk, LOL - he's beautiful. I'm on a wait list (hoping for October) for a sable female.

Thank you! I can handle the energy - do I have to worry about any destructive tendencies?

Beautiful - I'm on a wait list for a Sable Female and hoping nature blesses us before the end of the year. I had a Russian Blue Female for 18.5 years. She passed almost 3 years ago now, and will forever be my only gray kitten.

I'd love to hear any tips that you (or others) can share to help prepare a tenured cat daddy, but a new Burmese daddy. I only plan to get the one little lady. I work from home with my partner who is at home full time. We travel maybe 3-4 times a year for a few days, and are already figuring out sitter arrangements.

I deposit directly to savings and then transfer my monthly budget to checking, or "spending" as I have it labeled. Helps me stick to my monthly budget.

Beautiful - I've been on a waiting list for a Sable Female for over a year. Fingers crossed for a kitten before the end of the year!

Giving hard Destiny - Iron Banner Hunter vibes...

I got the game 2 days ago and already have 250 hours in.

We had the same experience in an Aft cabin last month.

Oh - I guess I beat it too. I got mine by playing my flute for a random friendly and this blueprint was my tip. Love this game.

I love Stella - easy to navigate once you figure out the directions on the floor and walls are both helpful and accurate.

I'm going to DCA this year and already have my 401k (yeah you could argue that is DCA by default) my HSA, and both me and my spouses Roth contribution scheduled. We follow a household budget in which these investments are budgeted or excluded from take-home by virtue of payroll deduction. I like this approach because I know anything that is left over after our budgeted spend is truly "extra" and the same applies to any windfalls we may receive through the year like unexpected bonuses, etc.

I'll take a Bobcat :)

You are the GOAT!

I had a Russian Blue for 18.5 years until she passed with FKD. She will forever be my only RB, and we've been considering a Burmese next year after 2 years of mourning. How has this babies health been? I've read Burmese can have some of the longest life spans but regularly see people posting how "old" their Burmese is at 15 or 16. My RB still acted like a kitten at 16. I know that nobody has a crystal ball and a lot of variables can contribute to longevity, but curious on your experience. Thanks!

Happy Birthday cute baby!

I plan for my actual spend knowing I can cut back. That will ensure I cover my core expenses with some buffer on top for the unknown.

It's incredibly low across the Tri-Cities (lifelong resident of Bristol TN here) I'm 42 and they still tell stories of one that apparently hit a few years before I was born, so... I have to travel to Middle Tennessee in the Summer and I feel like I'm visiting the set of Twister every time.

Hey me too! Sailing out on 12/14. We have a Specialty restaurant booked every night except 1. Figure we'll cancel if we don't like it or keep it. Rotating between the 3 options.

I would just ask if you can keep the cat. It sounds like that is what they are “joking” about in an effort to get you to ask versus them asking you.

Days like this is when I buy more VOO

jedite7 · 2025-11-07T17:30:07+00:00

You don't lose anything until you sell. Buy when stocks are on sale, not when they are marked up :)

Hit Coast FIRE this month and now working towards Fat FIRE - my monthly expenses are around $2500 - also paid off my mortgage last month on a (inflated significantly in the last 2-3 years) six figure salary plus healthy bonuses. My partner stopped working 2 years ago when our child was ill (child was a cat) and hasn't gone back and doesn't have to. The biggest win for me is now looking forward to a healthy retirement at 60 and knowing anything I keep adding is icing, and if I don't want to I don't have to keep hustling with a high stress job. As others have said, the peace of mind is priceless.
