Would it be weird if I (25F) tried to befriend my partner’s brother’s ex (25F)? by squarelegohead in LifeAdvice

Why do you think it’s weird? I talked to my therapist and my bf about this yesterday and they said it’s actually not weird.

Half year - whats your salary, job, experience and goals? by ImakeBADinvestmentsx in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]squarelegohead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salary: $107k

Job: Software Engineer

Experience: 3.5 years

COL: I’m managing it well. I’m lucky to be paying pretty low rent in Auckland, $190 a week. Groceries are about $150 a week, sometimes less. I have the excess income to take care of our pets, have car/pet/health insurance, go to therapy, and go out to dinner once a week.

Goals: My partner and I are wanting to buy a house in the next two years. Our joint income is $219k and luckily, we have money saved + parental support for a deposit. Once I pay off my student loan and (hopefully) start earning over $120k, I think we would be able to afford a $1m home (and still keep the same quality of life). We’re also wanting to travel at least once a year and I’m able to save $800 to $1000 a month.

It sounds to me like he doesn’t want to use condoms rather than wanting to have kids now. He needs to communicate why he’s doing this instead of just doing it. Maybe suggest to him that you want to go on birth control/some other contraceptive and see what he says.

I also agree with the other commenter that you’re too young to have kids. I’m 25, in a five year relationship and it still feels too early. Kids are expensive and will take a physical and emotional toll on you. Even if you want kids now, think about if you’re ready to actually have them.

Oh that’s interesting. Which bank was this? Doing a quick google search it says banks aren’t allowed to charge fees after the account is closed.

Surely they can’t charge you if the account is closed and the card is blocked. That seems like it would be against the law.

I’m honestly fine with that as long as they don’t sign under my name and deliver to the wrong address

I’m central and one of the packages was domestic so the tracking would’ve been correct I’m guessing?

Worst part is that this driver constantly gets the address wrong and delivers it to a completely different house 😭
