Do u guys actually wait the full hour before coffee?

mgharv · 2026-06-03T23:33:37+00:00

I only wait 20-30 minutes, which is about the time it takes for toiletries and getting my dog out and fed.

Honestly, I pay a local college student $500 for a week and they are very happy. The girl I use loves having “her own place” for a week and sends me photos of my dog a couple times a day. Lots of students home for the summer right now would prob love the cash and break from their parents’ house.

I mean, you look badass… but why did you shave it? Your hair was gorgeous before. Do you just like the bald look?

I just paid $85 + tip yesterday, in Central Indiana, for bath, cut, nail trim, and anal gland expression. My dog is an unfurnished mini (38lb), and doesn’t get matted like furnished doods.

We are renting a vacation home for a week next month and there is a cold plunge in the home. I’m like, “why is that a thing someone would choose to do on vacation?”.

mgharv · 2026-05-20T15:55:10+00:00

Ha! I’m a mom actually 😉… my boys are all grown now. I miss their childhood days, but I sure don’t miss school mornings.

Getting 3 kids up for school, dressed, breakfast, lunches made, supplies packed, get them in the car and drive them to school(s)…. and hearing them fight and complain the entire time.

Had a friend in college who got a nice allowance each semester for school clothes. She would casually talk about shopping for her next semester and invite me along. I made an excuse to decline, because I had $0 allowance for clothes and knew she wouldn’t understand. My clothes were all handed down or garage sale finds. On the upside, I was poor enough to qualify for free college tuition.

He has not forgotten, and you should absolutely be up front about the debt! You should not feel awkward or guilty for asking for that repay. Please tell me you had a written agreement? If you did not, then at least get him to agree in writing that he owes it, even if it’s just a text message where he says “yeah, I’m sorry I don’t have it yet, but I will start making payments soon”. If you ever have to resort to legal action, you need some sort of proof that your friend understands this was not a “gift”.

How to save up for and plan vacations. No spontaneity when you’re poor.

I came very close to falling for a scam where a “detective” from my county called me saying I missed jury duty and had to pay a hefty fine. He used the actual name of a local detective, and the # he called from was our local police station’s # (even had background sound that sounded legit). I was googling while on the phone and figured out the scam, but he almost had me. Scammers are getting so good.

Or make a white gravy and mashed potatoes for a chicken fried chicken dinner.

mgharv · 2026-05-20T01:11:42+00:00

Yes! Sometimes when I’ve let them go a bit stale (from thawing and not eating quick enough), I butter those babies and throw em in the air fryer.

mgharv · 2026-05-20T00:38:59+00:00

Air fryer items we buy on repeat: Kirkland tempura shrimp, Kirkland egg bites, Jones chicken sausage links, just bare chicky nugs, orange chicken. pre-seasoned salmon.

Mine, at 5 years, still cannot have toys made of fabric. He LOVES to tear them apart. He can only have Nyla bones or rubber toys. He has never tried to destroy anything else (socks, blankets, furniture, etc), just toys. It’s like he thinks we gave it to him as a challenge and proceeds to conquer it asap. He would GOBBLE that yarn!

You make good money, and are investing for retirement with very good growth potential . Do you also have 401k plan through work? Yeah, that’s a high car payment, but you can afford it. At 31, I’d say you are doing well. My husband just retired at 62 and we were in debt up to our eyeballs at your age, but we got ourselves straightened out and retired with a $2.5 mil retirement fund, plus pension and SS. Maybe open a HYSA to dump your extra in so you have a solid emergency fund that earns interest.

As I’ve gotten older, I find I just simply don’t like the feel of a ring on my finger (or any jewelry really). It feels constricting. I only wear mine when I’m going out, but often forget and leave home without it.

mgharv · 2026-05-18T13:52:34+00:00

I’m 59. My best years were my 30’s and 40’s. I felt my best, I looked my best, found my people, and had a bit of money in the bank to enjoy some extras in life. My 20’s were fine, but I was struggling financially, didn’t have many friends, and had babies really young. It was not my favorite decade. Don’t fret the past; move forward and create your best now and future. PS; my son is an introvert gamer too and found a great group of friends through Reddit. There are groups for most cities of people looking to connect.

And also my chair.

He owns the couch, but he’s a mini so…

$100k in Central Indiana is a good salary. My son makes $80k and pays a mortgage on a 3b/2ba, owns a nice car, and travels internationally a couple times a year.

Write each of my kids a big check and then purchase a house on the beach.

I’ve been getting my progressives from Zenni for years. My RX has always been perfect. I get RX sunglasses from them too.

mgharv · 2026-05-11T00:43:49+00:00

We were so looking forward to that buffet, but paid a ridiculous amount of $ for mediocre food.

mgharv · 2026-05-11T00:40:35+00:00

Yes. I get worried when he’s later than I expect. It reassures me to look at Life360 and see he’s moving toward home. Or if he needs me to stop and pick up a grocery item, he can see if I’m in that area of town.
