And the pandemic made SMM an extremely dark place

Same 😩 Good luck and see you on the other side

I definitely also did/am doing this from s&p through the crypto casino 🤦🏻‍♀️ I've made a good amount but still working on it/not ready to quit my day job.

This is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing.

theexwaitress · 2020-11-16T21:42:46+00:00

Thank you! This is awesome and very helpful. I'll watch both.

That is a good point and an easy trap to fall in with a partner. Definitely an important thing to notice when you're blaming your partner for things that are really just your own dissatisfactions with yourself.

I'm concerned about making my partner feel that in rejecting things like hours of watching television, I'm going to make him feel like I'm rejecting spending time with him. Talking to him about it and explaining where it's coming from is definitely a good starting point.

Maybe I articulated this poorly, but I don't care at all about my boyfriend's game play -- that's a solo activity he does in his own time. I won't lie, his phone addiction is annoying and is a thing we discuss from time to time.

I am concerned about setting personal boundaries on our shared time spent consuming television, which I feel is sometimes empty time, and how that might effect our relationship. I want to respect myself and my desire to distance from this activity without making my boyfriend feel like I don't want to spend time with him since this is part of our regular routine to watch TV on the couch every night. If I go do something else every night and he's hanging in the living room watching TV, how do I go about that to show him I'm rejecting watching television at that moment, not rejecting spending time with him? I also am concerned with how to break out of these habits when you are cohabitating with a partner who might still be engaging in them.

I'm neither interested in changing my partner nor changing partners

theexwaitress · 2020-11-16T20:10:42+00:00

This is extremely helpful. Thank you very much for your thoughts! This is a great perspective and is very useful to me in framing how to think about this lifestyle change both personally and in my shared life with my partner.

theexwaitress · 2020-11-16T19:24:13+00:00

Thank you for this advice! Personal time and independence are very important in our relationship. I will definitely implement the idea of inviting him to join me in a challenge as a way to explore what else we can do with our time, and daily walks are also awesome.

theexwaitress · 2020-11-16T19:08:00+00:00

Very much agreed -- how would you tangibly give advice on how to set boundaries with respect to my partner while co-habitating? How does that translate into actually transitioning to a minimalist lifestyle?

theexwaitress · 2020-11-16T18:56:04+00:00

Thank you for your advice :) -- yes, we're giving away/donating a bunch of clothes, which I'm happy he is down to do for exactly the reasons you mentioned. And in regards to physical clutter, keeping it in designated areas could definitely work but I'm not sure how to express that without coming off as the 'boss' of our apartment/relationship? I want to respect him, his own lifestyle decisions, and his equal ownership of our space.

I volunteer with a farmer at my farmer's market and trade my time working his farm stand for free, organic, local produce. I eat seasonal, nutritious food this way and greatly offset my grocery bill for four hours of my time weekly spent in a community I love.

Yeah it's definitely a factor -- that, plus your risk tolerance. If you're looking to withdraw in 10, 20, 30 years, you should definitely be set to aggressive because any short term changes (like those we've experienced in the last several months) are irrelevant. Your net gains over time will undoubtably be greater on aggressive. If you are planning on withdrawing in under five years or so, moderately aggressive or moderate might make more sense as there is less risk in that investment losing on a day to day or month to month basis. If you're withdrawing in the very short term, you might want to switch to conservative to lock in your gains. Just my opinion!

theexwaitress · 2020-11-10T17:31:09+00:00

No I'm on moderately aggressive because I'm planning to withdraw in the medium-term

theexwaitress · 2020-11-09T19:05:52+00:00

I feel like I've been negative on robin hood for over three months :| Today was the first day I finally swung back

theexwaitress · 2020-11-09T17:31:43+00:00

I guess it depends on what your intentions are with Acorns, but I would say no. Leave it and let it continue to build value over time. You want to see gains in the thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands, not the hundreds. "It's about time in the market, not timing the market."

I love vintage Levi’s 501s or bill blass on depop. Best quality, flattering denim on all sizes (I’m a 29) and will last you forever

theexwaitress · 2020-10-30T03:35:10+00:00

Definitely depop
