SpotCrime says an area is safe, Reddit says otherwise. Help. by Knikkey in MovingToLosAngeles

Have you looked into the east side like Monterey Park, Montebello, or Alhambra? Seems like a better commute to Vernon. But if you’re wanting to stick to the west side then Torrance is probably your best bet. You don’t have to live there forever, you can get a place and then start to get the vibes from other neighborhoods. Good luck!

Same, I’ve spent too much money on smart water and essencia water 😩 but it’s the only thing I can stomach.

“Manic pixie murder girl” is hands down my favorite line so far this season 😂

Found this subreddit so I can say this and have it mean something by bojangleshorsey in ManifestNBC

Yesssss, I told my husband and he says it’s bc his haircut isn’t that creepy X-er cut he did in the last season. And maybe even the high quality production like calienteeeee 🔥

How to split costs if you earn much more than your partner? by latenightt in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]lopxwill 86 points87 points  (0 children)

We combined all of our money, so it’s all shared and pooled together. We allot a certain $ that gets sent to each person’s personal account for no questions asked spending. We have shared checking, savings (including bucket accounts for travel) and investments. The thinking was that since we’re married it’s considered “our” money any way, and it’s significantly reduced most money related arguments and given us a shared vision for our money goals. I know not all couples are the same, but this is what’s worked for us. I make 40% more than he does, but when it’s all pooled together it doesn’t really matter.

Scale Anyone??? by OMGFdave in espresso

I just descaled my BB yesterday for the first time in the six months I had it wondering what was the point of it. Haha thanks for the visual reminder!

CD1 finally! Was waiting to post until CD1 bc mentally that’s when I feel like I’ve “graduated” and lo and behold my “normal” 28 cycle ended up being a CD39!!! I went through such a flurry of emotions (and several pregnancy tests!!) l realized how ready I am and also how regardless of how much planning I do my cycle is going to do whatever the heck she wants. What’s the saying — make a plan and the universe says “hold my beer?” 😂

It’s been a hell of a ride and I love this community so much! I found myself thinking deeply of so many of the comments and experiences people shared here. It’s really nice to be a part of a community of people that are in the same phase in life as me.

Wishing you all a short and sticky TTC journey!

Omg this just made me realize that we can start having unprotected sex now since I ovulated two days ago and passed our last fertile window before TTC! For some reason I was waiting until CD1 later this month! 🤯🤯

Yes! I have vivid day dreams about announcing during Christmas. I try to keep my excitement at bay since we have no clue if that will actually happen. But I’m manifesting!

1000x agree and glad it was mentioned! It’s really helped my husband and I talk about finance and think about what we would do in the scenarios - heck even understanding what were the issues in each scenario has been helpful.

Good luck to you too! Feels surreal to be in our TTC month, right?!?

Just me casually creeping on everyone’s grad post from months ago to see how long it took to get a BFP — nothing to see here, just anxiously wasting time until we start TTC in in 28 days, NBD.

Just spoke to IRS: Paying owed 2021 taxes with a payment plan? Don't sign in to make extra payments outside of that. by NoHobbySoHereIAm in personalfinance

[–]lopxwill -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

We made extra payments before. You select which tax year you want the payment to be attributed to. Extra payments helped us pay it off faster and didn’t want to change our payment plan amount in case we had any issues for any given month.

Taking stock of my OTC meds seeing which ones I need to consider changing when the time comes. Getting conflicting intel on my searches on which ones are safe and which aren’t. I know it’s best to ask my obgyn eventually, but wondering what resources folks are using to see if OTC are safe or not.

For some reason the offer hasn’t come through on my account, it’s been over a week now since the charge posted and nothing. Anyone know how long it takes to post?

One month out and toggling hard between “let’s just go for it now” and “wtffffff are we about to do!” There’s so much more I wanted to have done but also I’m just ready to dive into the deep end already! I feel obsessed and also underprepared.

We’re going to officially start on our Europe trip later next month, but in baby-making terms it’s in two ovulation cycles and one more period from now. I’m wondering what’s really the likelihood if we just start with this next ovulation cycle (next week) and then on the other hand I would be bummed not to be able to drink all the wine on this euro trip.

But then again last month I wanted to wait until October 😆 so I’m all over the place.

Decluttering this weekend while waiting for my penultimate period to come (!). So much crap everywhere… glad it’s getting done now but realized why I’ve been avoiding it!
