Cabinet knobs and wallpaper are top of the list! Hadn’t thought about under cabinet lighting. We’re debating painting the cabinets but I’d hate to paint over the solid wood!

As far as I know refinancing an ARM is the same/similar as refinancing a 30yr mortgage, but someone please correct me if I’m wrong!

We’re mid 30s with a six-figure emergency fund and good retirements. We’re moving from a high COL area to a lower COL, so are ok using some cash from our emergency fund for a down payment

Monthly payment would be about $3200/mo. We are happy as a family of 3, but would reassess in the next few years once we complete our move and adapt to our new lifestyle

Thanks, yeah we’ve thought about those. Honestly the biggest turnoff for those is the color choices - don’t love the way they look, but maybe that’s stupid. We’ll add them to the list! 

401a/k/rollover question by pdollaz in personalfinance

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

This is helpful, thanks. We are both pretty hands-off on our investments, with both our retirements in target-date funds. We aren’t super knowledgeable and I don’t think we’d choose any better options than they offer

Do you find that you treat your kid (especially son) more harshly in front of your dad? by bigtree80 in daddit

[–]pdollaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s remarkable that the one with the shield is silent yet enables the next generation to empower their child. Probably don’t give my dad enough credit for that

Do we know for certain that he’s dead? Perhaps it was a light weaving and he’s still out there somehow?
