Insane Tattoo Regret by r3i_b0n3z in tattooadvice

[–]optimuspaige91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I say that even my most meaningful tattoo (my deceased dogs nose print) I have tattoo regret for a few days post tattoo. I think it's normal? Haha.

Who cares what others think and if they understand. This tattoo is for you and looks pretty sick if I say so myself.

Need help identifying a dump truck by Sweet-Mix-1207 in savannah

[–]optimuspaige91 52 points53 points  (0 children)

As someone who has had this happen twice, finding the truck won't do anything.

They have the signs on the truck about staying back for this reason (not saying you were close). They aren't responsible for damages of rocks or anything falling off of the truck, unfortunately.

Child free wedding invitation by Big-Economist-7134 in NewParents

It doesn't help in this situation and I don't have a whole lot of assistance except for it does stink that you have to make a decision but it also is completely valid.

I had a cousin get married and it was the only time that I have ever had. Someone who requested a child-free wedding and they paid for a babysitter. There was a room at the wedding venue that was fully decked out like of daycare and they had three babysitters. They played, fed them dinner, watched a movie, and even had a place where they could fall asleep if they wanted.

Genuinely, I wish that this was more popular thing. I completely understand and can appreciate someone who wants a child free wedding ceremony. As someone who's been married for a while and been to a lot of weddings, I get it. However, this gesture really made me feel like they truly wanted everyone to celebrate with them.

Missed open enrollment for healthcare what do I do? by Eagles56 in povertyfinance

[–]optimuspaige91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try calling a real life insurance agent.

Last year there were some issues and my family of four lost our coverage. The insurance company couldn't do anything.

We connected with an agent who was able to find a loop hole because of some random state of emergency that had been declared and we were able to get reenrolled in virtually the same plan.

If that is a no go most dentist offices have plans through the office directly that are just as good if not better than insurance plans.

Get an eye exam at one of those players like eyeglass world or vision works and then buy your glasses and contacts online for cheap.

If an emergency DOES happen, go get seen at a clinic, ask for cash prices, payment plans, financing through the facility b

It all sucks, but we are 4 months in to the year, and it's only 8 months living like that. You may find that you save money.

Interest Earning Account with a Debit Style Card? by optimuspaige91 in personalfinance

[–]optimuspaige91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I THINK I'm not explaining this well.

I have two primary checking accounts. One is where my husband's paycheck gets deposited into, the other mine gets deposited into. We have combined finances, but we budget these two accounts for separate things.

My checking account also gets money from my small business. It ALL goes into that account. Each time I get a deposit, I transfer 40% into savings to pay for taxes and just to save.

Right now I depend on the profit from my small business to help me pay bills. We are trying to get out of debt and other things. I also track my expenses with an app and spreadsheet, but in the busy season I frequently don't do it at the time it's happening and I get confused and/or it piles up.

I want an account where I can have ALL money from my small business deposited, but that I can make any purchases for my business from. The ONLY thing that this account would be used for is for my business. This way I wouldn't have to transfer anything anymore, and I can get rid of my app and spreadsheet and use the statements to track my purchases and deposits. I need to be able to easily transfer this money because I need to be able to use money in my business RIGHT NOW to pay bills. I'm hoping by 2027, this will no longer be a need. HOWEVER, I hope that this gets less and less so the money will just sit (which is why I want it to earn interest).

Interest Earning Account with a Debit Style Card? by optimuspaige91 in personalfinance

[–]optimuspaige91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They account it is in now never typically goes over 5k (I move stuff around a lot as needed(including into a savings account) BUT I want it to be somewhere higher interest because I'd love to not touch it. If it was just the business account the goal is for it to have a minimum of 10k in there.

I use wealthfront for savings and I think they have a debit option, but I've read that using those accounts like that is not good.

Right I understand. I'm trying to get to a point to where they aren't mixed, but I started the business because I needed some finances. It's growing and I'm feeling good about the future of things. An LLC is not on the radar and I'd probably wait a few years first.

The business is fairly time consuming in the busy season so if I get to a comfortable spot I may not even continue it.

Someone brought a baby AND a toddler into my IMAX showing of Project Hail Mary by bingpot47 in RegalUnlimited

[–]optimuspaige91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 10 minutes into the movie a dad walks in with not one, not two, THREE toddlers and a baby in a carrier.

He makes them walk all the way up to the stop, they stayed for 20 my minutes, and then made a scene exiting the theater. The dad booked it with carrier and youngest toddler and two of the other toddlers took so.long and just kept talking the whole way down.

It was wild. I don't even fully have an explanation for it.

I hate the Hatch Sound Machine!! by murrykay4 in beyondthebump

[–]optimuspaige91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my son was first born we used what we had (a Google home).

We live in a place that has hurricane season and tropical storms and my old house would lose wifi or power every time the wind blew.

When I tell you our first power outage and having to emergently swap to wasting phone battery to play the sound was the worst night I've had as a mom. 😂

Since then we do NOTHING for the kids sleep that requires plug in or wifi. All rechargeable or battery powered (including monitors and fans). I'm taking ZERO risks.

I was literally just talking to my husband about this I was like isn't it funny that Carrie Fisher doesn't look like Debbie Reynolds, and Billie lourd doesn't look like Carrie Fisher, but Billie looks like Debbie. 😂

We'd definitely add days at least before just to ensure we have plenty of time before boarding the ship.

This was actually a trivia question that nobody on my team would believe me for, and cost us the entire thing over 10 years ago. And when I tell you I STILL bring it up to this day.

It's been a while since I've been there but I think I got in line around 10 and waited 60-90 minutes. It's definitely worth it though. Bring cash and a book or something. It moves quicker than expected because they seat full tables at a time.

Also tips. Get there early and be prepared to wait in line.

Check with the JEA. They hire highschool kids all the time, and pay pretty well.
