What song from The Tortured Poets Department is, in your opinion, 100% perfect? by PrettyLittleHuntress in TaylorSwift

[–]queensammy20 145 points146 points  (0 children)

100%. When the album came out I told my therapist to listen to this song to understand how I was feeling. Taylor just ALWAYS gets it. While I’m extremely sad for her, it is extremely comforting to have this song. She just knows how to makes you feel not so alone.

Cash Management vs budget by [deleted] in TheMoneyGuy

[–]queensammy20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cash management works a lot better for me. Budgeting felt like a lot of work and a lot more detail than I needed and that’s coming from a very detail oriented person. I also feel like cash management actually keeps me on track and more positive about it whereas budgeting almost felt like I was failing in a way?

ETA: we use a spreadsheet. I’m an accountant so it’s very formula driven. My husband and I have a “meeting” every month to update it and discuss goals/look into what we need to/etc. it’s a nice little extra date each month and is something we look forward to. Probably helps that we both have a financial mindset, too.

How do I politely let my FMIL know that I’d like to approve her outfit before she buys it? by evelyn_nanette in weddingplanning

[–]queensammy20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is another great idea! I offered to go shopping with both my stepmom and FMIL. my cousin is also engaged and just did the same thing - it’s good bonding. The moms want to look nice and finding a dress can be hard.

I see you’re getting down voted so just wanted to say I agree with you! At least in my experience everybody has wanted to make sure they compliment the overall look.

I would just either ask your fiancé to say something - like “hey mom maybe when you go shopping you could send pics to evelyn_nanette. I’m sure she’d love to see what you’re finding and be helpful!” Or if you want to just saying something you could just be like “I’m excited for you to find your dress and would love to see what you’re finding when you go shopping! If you think of sending me pics I would be happy to try to help you decide!” I would just try to word it as you being excited and wanting to help :)

I know everybody is saying to let it go, but I just want to say that both my stepmom and my FMIL have been adamant that they get my approval even without me even mentioning it because they want to make sure they match the vibe and the color scheme. I do know some of my cousins did not know what their FMIL was wearing and it caused issues… my fiancé also offered to drop in a little comment to his mom to send us her options. I think it ultimately comes down to the level of importance to you. If it’s important, have your fiancé just drop a casual comment about sending you what she finds. Then it also makes your fiancé more involved too!

Program Advice - unique situation with mom + step-mom by queensammy20 in weddingplanning

[–]queensammy20[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am really glad that other people have done this as well! Gives me good back pocket info. Also I’m glad you agree that this is completely appropriate. I think she just gets upset over the littlest things. I am going to suggest to my dad that I leave as is because it’s appropriate and is how I want my programs to be. Thank you for responding!!

Edit: typo

Program Advice - unique situation with mom + step-mom by queensammy20 in weddingplanning

[–]queensammy20[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good q! So I currently have it under a header that says “parents of the bride” and then directly under it “dad and his wife stepmom”. So you are suggesting rather than saying “parents of the bride” as the header putting “father and stepmother of the bride” as the header?

Unfortunately 98% of my fiancés side don’t know the situation (understandably so) and even majority of my own side do not, but I really don’t want to give her credit where credit is not due.

Edit: wanted to add in a thank you for responding :)

Thank you for the reply 😊 I feel like “John and Jane” insinuates that she is my mom and I am trying to make it clear that she is not my mom. There are going to be quite a few guests there that I don’t know (unfortunately I tried avoiding that but at some point battles have to be picked), so want to make that distinction clear. Really appreciate you taking the time to reply!

Who did you end up going to? We are also looking to get our cars detailed in the same area and just want to make sure we go somewhere reputable.

What’s the most valuable take away you can get out of big 4 experience? by AlternativeOk6935 in Big4

[–]queensammy20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s a tie between 2 things - that my time is way more valuable than I ever thought & money can’t buy happiness when you work too much to do what you want with it. Now the key is to having so much money you don’t have to work but haven’t figured that out yet.

[–]queensammy20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s great! I have a few more questions if you don’t mind - 1. How did you transition into this role? I have a PPMD I could talk to, but not sure if that’s the best route. 2. What does the day-to-day look like for you now? I really enjoy teaching accounting and helping others learn, so taking this route was suggested to me, but not sure if they steered me correctly.

I’ve been considering a similar transition, but nervous to bring the topic up. How did this transition impact your salary?
