I went to a cheaper school, graduated, a coworker had let me borrow their Dave Ramsay's book Financial Peace, said someone gave it to them when they graduated, and it was life changing. I made it my number one goal to get my loans paid off. Sold my car for a cheaper one so I could get rid of...
I've been getting a lot of calls and have done some things that have seemed to help. I don't have a voicemail setup. I won't answer a lot of calls, and if I'm not sure if it's a spammer or not, if you just pick up without saying anything, it will automatically disconnect if you don't say hello...
I have been looking at the Purple, Casper, Tuft and Needle...etc I am curious if you looked at all of the options and what made you choose Purple?
Hate our current Serta iSeries pillowtop. Super cozy in the store. A few weeks and it started sagging. Switched it per their free trial for a...
They have every right to file a report because your dogs broke through that fence, there's really nothing you can do to stop them. What you can do is beef up your fence ASAP, still offer to pay vet bills, and heck, maybe call animal control yourself and find out what type of fence they recommend...
Do you function well on that much sleep? I feel like if I sleep 5 hours I can wake up easier, but body wants to crash hard in the afternoon. If I get a solid 7 hours of sleep though I feel like I can hustle all day
I am slowly starting to realize in life that the more routine I make something, the easier it makes it to get it done and take the decision out of doing it or not. I've been against routines all my life because my parents were hardcore routine it was annoying how they would never sway from it or...
Thank you so much for all of this! I was looking around on the map and Tombstone looks pretty awesome. Love wandering around and checking out neat things so that's right up our alley. Thank you for the suggestions!
We've done Florida a million times and go to GA every September. I would like...
Winter Blues start to kick in for me about halfway through January and I have to go somewhere warm and sunny and get outside. We used to always go to a cheap all inclusive for a long weekend, but our trip to Iceland this summer kind of ruined ever wanting to do a resort again. I found a love for...
Bourbon Street, French Quarter, Beignets IMO were underwhelming for all the hype but still have to get them, WWII musuem for sure, I'm not usually much into museums but it was amazing. A lot of people hype up bourbon street to be scary at night, when I went earlier this year, there were so many...
Hello all! I am self employed and travel on the road often for work with an enclosed trailer in tow. I recently tried to stay at a cheaper hotel this past weekend to save some money (Sleep Inn) and had an awful experience. I generally stay at Holiday Inn Express, Hampton Inn, and hotels in that...
I feel like I was in your exact situation a few years ago. Live in PA, hated the cold and weeks of gray skies. Furthermore couldn't stand the area I lived in, close minded people. I'm very motivated and goal driven, but most people scoff at me for 'working too much'. Felt like I never fit in.
I...
I am sorry to revive an old thread but I feel it's worth it! A couple months ago some friends invited us to go to New Orleans this past weekend. This thread was still in my mind as I am always looking for awesome weekend getaways but obviously don't want to go anywhere sketchy and had a mental...
I used to wake up in the middle of the night sick with acid reflex. It was an ongoing thing for me for a little while.
Cutting all dairy, not eating big meals a few hours before bedtime and cutting back on drinking have pretty much cured me.
This. All day. When I was in the market in 2013 for a gas pickup, I thought I was set on a Dodge until I test drove one. It didn't feel right and just wasn't sold on it. So on a whim I decided to test drive an F150 and I was sold. IMO just gotta test drive them both to feel and really see the...
Double and triple check your stuff, think of random things and double check you still got them somewhere. I've heard enough stories that I would never use a moving company and worry for anyone who does. There was a special on 20/20 you could probably find online too that warned people about...
My mom has smoked all her life, she's 59 and just quit finally a couple months ago. I thought I'd share what helped her in case it would help you or anyone else. She went to her doctor and started taking Butrin, which takes the edge off her cravings. She got a 3 months supply of it and told me...
Anybody else set resolutions or goals for the new year? My 2017 goal was no more fast food, and to my surprise it was much easier than I thought it would be (Chipotle doesn't count!).
For 2018 my goal is to meal plan and set weekly agendas, including going to the gym 3x a week, no exceptions...
Looking to go on a long weekend trip Thursday-Sunday in mid January. We don't want a cruise or all inclusive resort. Looking to go somewhere warm, relax, safe to wander around, trails or simple things to do, good food.
Last year we went to San Antonio for 2 nights and Austin for 2 nights and...
The mortgage on our first house also eventually got sold to Freedom Mortgage. On the plus side, their website is easy and I like that they have a payoff calculator feature. I would always play around with numbers on it, see how much I'd save in interest and so then make little extra payments...
Thanks for your comment! I actually have been eyeballing the SP's for awhile now. I was thinking about getting a 17" for at home and a SP for when I travel. I talked myself out of it because I have an Ipad but I still also have to bring my computer and don't need all the USB's when traveling...
I move during the day between different work stations and travel, so doing that wouldn't be feasible in my situation although a good idea. I wish I could just get a desktop and call it a day but really have to get something close to I have now.
Been looking at the Lenovo's they might fit the...
Hey guys! I am in the market for a new laptop and am having a really, really hard time finding what I need. I'll try to keep this quick and tell you exactly what I'm looking for
-17"+ screen (I'm a designer)
-Windows , I guess 10 (if 7 is an option, I might go with that because then I'll know...
Whatever you do, please do NOT buy a Serta!!!! We got a $2k set a couple years ago and it was the worst decision ever. The memory foam pillow top sank on us, 140lb me has a crater in my bed and because it's less than 2 inches deep they will not return it per their 10 year warranty. We...
