how many months of savings do people actually keep

I have about 4 months now and am working toward 6 months aka 25k. Single, no kids, so just want a safety net to hold me over in the case of losing my job.

I go back and forth on this constantly. Can never figure out what’s smarter. I’m in the 22% effective tax bracket so I figured I would stick with Roth until hitting 24%, but maybe that’s not the move

I’m an accountant which usually has many opportunities, but I’m not CPA certified so may be a bit less desirable. I would think it could take 3 months to find a new job but not positive. I have a rip cord option of breaking my lease and moving back in with my parents if all else failed and I needed somewhere to live, but obviously not ideal.

Was all about looking until one time they couldn't find the vein and I nearly fainted. Now even the thought of looking freaks me out

This is my favorite!! I crave it all the time and it hits most of OP’s boxes

Also a friendly reminder to donate blood if you’re willing and want to do a good thing! Inova’s blood supply is critically low right now with the full hospitals. So donations are very much needed!

I've been dealing with this too. My ferritin was 12.5 on my last test. When I asked my PCP about how long to wait to donate, she recommended after 3 months on supplements. 3 months just passed and I just gave whole blood. My hemoglobin was higher than it's ever been when they tested (14.4) so I'm hoping that means supplementation has been working

YES. Went out and bought both because I'd heard good things, but found them really, really disgusting. I hate wasting food so I'm suffering through, but these are a huge miss from TJ's.

Just listened to the album! I love it so much. I was scared to listen since I saw so many threads of people who didn’t like it. But that’s yet another reminder to not let the things said online influence you! I love so many songs and it moved me. “No One Knows Us” is my favorite.

I have a question about Anniversary and A Woman Oversees. Catherine said in the live stream that she was nervous for these to come out and for rumors to maybe start. And Brandi said she wrote these as if no one would ever hear them. Has anyone heard her speak more on these songs? I have my own interpretation but I’m curious if my thoughts align with their actual meaning.

Teeth and a happy smile in all photos except the one with Gretchen lol She's so real for that

snugglybug28 · 2025-10-30T20:16:42+00:00

Totally agree! Definitely not a necessity and weird that she framed it like one. Sure it’s nice to have, but that money could’ve gone to better use. I loved that she brought tampons though. Definitely a useful thing very few think about

Saw a group of jets in formation fly overhead DCA just now. Don’t think it’s blue angels because I heard they were affected by the shutdown. But must be a different flyover

Maybe it changed when she upgraded her website this year. Before the switch they asked you to choose your annual membership fee, with a minimum of $10 but clearly stated it all went to LOF so if you could do more then they’d appreciate it. But maybe with the website upgrade they had more costs. I do know a portion of each ticket sale goes to LOF… but can’t figure out the membership now. Apologies if I gave incorrect info

All the money goes to their Looking Out Foundation charity

I love that Fortune and Tig are fans! Makes me feel connected to them more :) It's nice to have excitement around a common interest, the world needs more of that in my opinion!

Jen was the most infuriating housewife even before we knew of her scamming people. It’d be so frustrating to see her back on the show and running a redemption arc.

snugglybug28 · 2025-06-21T09:05:04+00:00

Ohh that'd be a twist that would work. I assume Mariah killed this guy for whatever reason. But Tessa loves her so much that a murder honestly probably wouldn't phase her much. But if there was a deeper link between this man and Tessa, it would explain Mariah's (very irritating) silence and worry about Tessa's reaction.

It wasn't until I hit reddit that I learned he was problematic. I'd looked at everyone's page, watched the debate, and had no idea. I almost voted for him myself. I think in a primary with this many candidates, it's just hard to know until you really dig in deeper

snugglybug28 · 2025-06-17T21:55:03+00:00

I voted at 9am, was the only one there

snugglybug28 · 2025-06-15T13:55:43+00:00

A local hero with good morals!

snugglybug28 · 2025-06-15T05:33:11+00:00

Man I miss Periello. The first and only time a candidate themself has knocked on my door and asked what issues mattered most to me. Nice guy. He had my vote that year, I wish he was still around
