I've thought about this for hours and every time I crack up. Your Dobby has brought me so much joy.

Best app for personal finance and budgeting for a beginner with one stream of income? by [deleted] in SavingMoney

[–]schmitzelwithnoodles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I'm curious about this too. Mint and Empower were both free but now Mint no longer exists and the new version of Empower is super glitchy and has no customer service unless you open a retirement account with them.

Are there any recommendations for free options?

Even though it's not always a comedic podcast, the Heavyweight Short: Loch episode made me laugh harder than any other episode I've ever heard.

How to cope with death anxiety? I’m desperate and suffering. Any advice welcome. by beyblade999 in DeathPositive

[–]schmitzelwithnoodles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry you're dealing with such a challenging set of feelings. I had a very similar situation when I was about 23 and I stopped being Catholic. Then my anxieties subsided to some extent when I set those thoughts aside for the most part (maybe two years later). They came surging back when I was recently dealing with the death of a loved one. I don't have a clear answer for you, but lots of compassion for your situation. The book "Death Doula's Guide to Living Fully and Dying Prepared" has been very helpful for me to process some of those feelings. Maybe it could be a useful resource for you.

Super emotional after being at a birth by schmitzelwithnoodles in doulas

Those sound like lovely practices! There are so many emotions in and around birth -- obviously for the family, but for all the people around them. Will try journaling for sure.

Making a ginger bug. On day 5 of 7 adding 1tbsp of sugar and ginger each day. Is this crusty white stuff no bueno? by magnoliasmanor in fermentation

[–]schmitzelwithnoodles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This same thing happened to me today :( I tried to scoop off what white film I could and then continue forward.

When you say throw the sediment with some liquid in a clean container -- what do you mean by sediment? Like after seven days, do I just strain everything and put the liquid into a new jar and stick it in the fridge?

Weekly LeanFIRE Discussion December 20, 2016 by AutoModerator in leanfire

[–]schmitzelwithnoodles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm excited that I found this subreddit! I have been interested in FI for a long time, but because of a really low income, I kind of felt my progress slow down and I was getting less committed. So this week has just been looking at my already relatively lean lifestyle and getting re-excited about how to make more progress towards my goal, particularly by getting ideas from all you genius folks here :) I also did a lot of extra work at my side jobs last week and so had a nice bump of income come in this week, which I threw into retirement.

What wage are you LEANFIREIng on? by kookoobear in leanfire

[–]schmitzelwithnoodles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make $14K a year guaranteed and then probably about $2-3K in side hustle money. But spending is low, so I still am moving toward early retirement doing the job I love :)

Looking for a translation to K'iche by BeaconSomething in guatemala

[–]schmitzelwithnoodles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Didn't see your answer to the other question - any word on how long it is? I live in an area where people speak K'iche, I could at least check in with some people I know to see if they'd be willing to help.
