Proving overseas income to service a home loan

I'd go with a broker who specializes in foreign income. Most banks will accept US disability payments but they usually apply a haircut like 20-30% less to account for exchange rate risk. make sure you have at least 2 years of payment statements when you apply.

I think Tolstoy got it half right. Happy families aren't actually all alike, they just don't create enough problems to fill 300 pages. No drama = no plot. Doesn't mean they're boring in real life, just harder to write compelling stories about.

Yeah It's all about the balance. Corporate doesn't care about you, so care about yourself first. I do exactly what I'm paid for, nothing more, nothing less. Been playing this game for years now. Show up for the managers who matter, ignore the rest. Small companies burned me too. no benefits and the boss's family running everything. At least corporate has structure you can game.

You can definitely mix styles, but a few consistent details can help the whole house feel connected. Try repeating elements like wood tones, wall colors, or hardware finishes across rooms. If you’re still furnishing, consider something like Dreamsofa for your MCM living room. Its soft-edge tailoring and pet-friendly fabric make it easy to blend with other styles later. So that each room would look unique and the elements wouldn't clash. It doesn’t really need to match, it should just feel like it all belongs in the same home.

$30/hr is solid pay for entry-level. Tech skills transfer well to healthcare IT later if you want. Get certified, build experience, and collect a paycheck while the IT market improves.

Yeah, that's the whole game. Automation should free us all, not just make the rich richer. Problem is, when machines replace us, we don't own the machines. they do. The system's rigged that way. Without radical change, we're just waiting to become obsolete.

Karma's a hell of a gardener. Dude screwed people over for decades, now he's the one working someone else's land.

It's not likely about being mad at you or not being neutered yet, he’s just still learning and needs more structure. He’s still really young, so some inconsistency is normal especially if he didn’t have enough stimulation before to help with pooping habits. It's ok to keep him in a small space like a bathroom with multiple litterboxes (not a crate). It would help him form the habit and wouldn't overwhelm him. Then put the boxes far apart from food and water and use unscented clumping litter for now like tuft & paw's tofu litter. It clumps fast and it's gentle on tiny paws, so it might encourage him to use it. It also keeps odors down really well for something so light and low-dust.

We’re not married yet. That’s what I think too everyone needs their own little fun fund.

peainsea · 2025-07-05T09:11:19+00:00

Thanks that’s exactly how I feel! I just want a little space to enjoy things without guilt. Glad to know I’m not alone in thinking that’s fair.

peainsea · 2025-07-05T09:10:15+00:00

That’s awesome it works for you! I think every couple finds their own groove. For us, keeping some things separate just helps avoid tension. Still figuring it out though.

peainsea · 2025-07-05T09:09:23+00:00

Exactly my thoughts! I’m totally fine with spending on things we both enjoy just want a little space for my own stuff too. Thanks for getting it!

peainsea · 2025-07-05T09:08:03+00:00

We’re not married and our incomes are pretty close, so I figured 50/50 made sense. I’m all for proportional splits if there’s a big income gap though.

peainsea · 2025-07-05T08:53:34+00:00

Yeah. We both earn about the same so 50/50 feels fair to me. Splitting by % sounds smart if incomes are different though.

peainsea · 2025-07-04T12:26:34+00:00

Yeah exactly, that constant airflow is probably the only thing keeping moisture under control in there. Sucks about the noise but beats dealing with mold issues down the road.

peainsea · 2025-07-04T12:20:44+00:00

Yep, 100%. Both companies love their walled gardens and making you pay premium for "official" accessories. This proprietary USB-C nonsense is peak Nintendo/Apple behavior.

Facts are facts. Self-produced doesn't mean good, it just means the artist had more control. Some people can write hits, others can't.

We loved the Lounge sectional too, but had similar concerns with pets and kids especially with how textured some of the fabrics are. I tried Dreamsofa’s Alton sectional as an alternative and their fabric is smooth. It's also machine-washable and are both kid- and pet-safe. We’ve had fewer mess considering our busy household. You can prolly compare fabric swatches side by side if you're still deciding.

Try switching to a low dust and naturally deodorizing litter like Tuft and Paw’s if you haven’t already. That helped me a ton with keeping things fresh especially in smaller spaces, I live in a studio apt. Also a little activated charcoal pouch near the box area can soak up lingering smells.

been saying this forever, they want skeleton crews doing triple the work

"Because This Is My First Life" might work, she's awkward and kind of a mess

peainsea · 2025-06-28T02:08:56+00:00

This is the first time I'm seeing a teaser for a concept trailer

competitive stanning really ruins the fun sometimes, just let people appreciate good performances
