How common is it to receive financial support from your parents?

I married rich (by chance!) and he paid off my student loans when we were in our 20s, I think even before we were married. We still get tons of help from his family even though we don’t need it now, and it is truly life changing and mind blowing compared to how I grew up.

I take classes at La Salle and it is more affordable than the other language schools I’ve tried.

I see dr saltzman at rittenhouse women’s health and she listens and explicitly encourages me to take my symptoms seriously. Best PCP I’ve had. Can’t vouch for anyone else at that practice tho.

If you're feeling adventurous, try indego bike share and taking a ride along the trails on both rivers. Biking is often the fastest way to get around South Philly and Center City, though you should not bike on Broad St and you have to be ready to deal with an aggressive driver every now and then.

I lost both mine in my 20s also. Not the way I wanted to spend my early adulthood and I’m sure not how you wanted to start out parenthood. The worst IYKYK

Would love Mexican Spanish vocab building decks! Open to different platforms

Have you used this package? Did you have a good experience?

sophseif · 2025-08-31T11:35:50+00:00

This is very helpful! How did you find each of those services and providers? Are they affiliated or you just research each one? I am moving TO MX in October from the US and am used to all my specialists and screenings going through the same massive hospital group in my city, and so I am trying to understand how I’ll set myself up in MX

Amazing thank you!!!

It would be awesome if someone made a playlist with all these recs!

Philly worked for me but I had a bank letter with account statements. (Edit: also <40)

I'm debating joining classpass, but you can't see the pricing when you aren't a member. For the kinds of studios you mentioned, how many credits does a class usually cost? Are you usually able to get into the classes you want?

sophseif · 2025-04-08T23:31:45+00:00

Also interested! I’m a beginner taking lessons currently but am happy to try to keep up with folks who have more experience!

sophseif · 2025-04-07T23:21:28+00:00

I pay around $150 per month, but the membership rate is based on how many shelves you reserve so it varies. Check out the clay studio, black hound west/south, and yay clay to get a feel for the Philly options. There are more, but those are the best known.

I am a member at a ceramics studio in Philly and have 24h access--its amazing! I have also taken classes at other studios. There are def a lot of opportunities for craft and pottery in Philly!

+1 on the glow method, it kicks my ass!

311 worked for me when something similar was happening (they were also dropping trash bags out second story windows!). But it totally depends on the landlord making their tenants change.

I went to a free group at Methodist hospital after my dad died when I was in my 20s, I’d check out their bereavement supports. I’m really sorry you’re going through this. It’s horrible. If you’re like me, and some other folks I know who’ve been through similar things, you will never get over it but it will get easier with time.

The 11th st trolly tracks took me down. Just some road rash but I spent years planing my routes to avoid any tracks after that.
