We typically go to bed around 1030 every night and I get up around 645-7 each morning for work. I have with some success done late nights with early mornings 3-4 hrs of sleep, and been perfectly functional the next day, but that catches up with you and is very bad for your health.

Ehh. Between Rocket League and HellDivers, I am very happy with PS+ in general, but last month was a total dud. When your marque game is Broforce, you need to step up your game brua...

I probably could have pushed for it in July, as I assumed the role of my boss as he left the company (2 positions above me), however my leverage would have been weaker. I essentially bet on myself to prove I could do the job better than or equal to my former boss. Thankfully, he set the bar lower than they thought and…

I have been quite fortunate in that we have received cost of living increases (or better) each year i have been with this company. I have never needed to ask for a cost of living increase, however I can understand that for those who have gone a few years without an increase, a C.O.L.I. is an easier request.

I recently did this. Stepped into a new role in July and was told that evaluations will determine how my promotion will be structured on the normal cycle. Being in the company for a few years, I knew that if you wait till the review, the number is already set and in the budget for next year and it leaves very little…

Agreed that everyone is different. I know that compound interest is super sexy to think about when young, but the way that I look at it, I would rather have a guaranteed reduction in -5% interest paid out, than a potential return of 5% for limited access investment funds. looking 2 years out, if one of us lose our…

Does anyone know if you can apply multiple savings codes on the same order in Amazon? Eyeing up the bias lighting and MPOW headphones.

That is a consideration. Only reason my/our debts are more crucial than her school loans are the fact that her rates are reasonably low, and tax deductible. Our LOC was for a deck build on the house and my car loan is tied to that. Her car loan is a big payment but on normal payoff cycle through December. My school…

wow. Are you sure you arent me? Sounds like we are in the same exact situation. Good to hear I am not the only one following this train of thought.

Kudos to you for your emergency fund, you need not apologize to anyone because you set it up and executed it yourself. Your financial planning is something to be envious of, not angry at.

I understand that everyone’s situation is different, but $15k in credit card debt would give me heart palpitations. I cannot even begin to imagine owing that much at the 16% rate I am in for my rewards card. I have a few hundred right now which will be paid off on Friday. I mostly use it for work purchases that get…

Rocket League. I have nothing left to play for, but I always tell myself it is only a 5 minute round. I will get one or 2 in and call it a day. Several hours later I a realize I havent moved or blinked in a while...

Rocket League would be a perfect place to host a PS4 vs. PC/XBOne tournament. Use the game to have the 2 companies compete with the user base deciding the victory. Obviously the PS4 crowd has a head start but I would love to defend the PS4's honor in aerial car comba...err... soccer.

Thanks.

I am curious if this is factored into the married filing jointly or separately discussion. I just recently crested the line, but the wife is below. My school loans are almost paid off (15 months baby!) so my interest is relatively low. I could pay it off early, but low interest rate and I assumed it would be tax…

I am sorry, but how is spawn camping with a sniper rifle which would literally make this a matter of spawn, die, repeat the “best” map to play on. That first video was a great example of sniper elite, and not taking anything away from his setup, however he got a rifle and completely decimated the other team before the…

When I negotiated my increase this past year, I let the company throw out the first number. As expected, they did a percentage, which in a normal year (10%) would be fantastic; however I was in a position of leverage as I took over for my overpaid boss, and was doing a great job for a high profile client. I countered…

it goes beyond Reese Witherspoon... Look at this blatant theft of a similar 6 point magnolia. Pretty outrageous forgery of your charm logos by this stone mason thief...

I have been eyeing this for a while, however I now think I may go for the Hue strip lights. Can turn on/off by Echo voice commands, change colors, and generally more useful interesting. Also more expensive, but that comes with the territory.
