Besides the usual options you might want to check out the PlayStation Vue. You need hardware but don’t HAVE to have a PS3 or ps4. Other hardware works like roku or something like that. Check it out and there’s no contract. I was looking at maybe getting their basic 45 channel plan for $30/ mo but then I remembered I…

Whoops! Wrong comment replied to.

Cool! I did actually research it as that’s how I even knew about it in the first place but I did forget there were other options as I had done the research earlier than when I wrote the post. I also don’t own those items so that’s likely why they didn’t stick in my memory 2 weeks later when I wrote this post.

It’s more lacking bandwidth. I’m not saying a normal full time with 4 kids and other interests isn’t taxing but working 60+ hours even without kids burns your mental capacity to handle even small basic stuff.

It’s sad but a lot of professionals work so many hours (way over the 8 per day and often on weekends too) that they don’t even have time or energy for the idea of going out for groceries. Now should someone always be running that hard and not have time to get groceries? No, they shouldn’t be doing that because…

I just found out playstation Vue (if you already own a ps4 or PS3) offers 45 cable channels for $30 a month no contract required. It’s really weird about NEVER TAKING IT OUT OF YOUR HOME OR YOU LOSE SERVICE (like they have a mobile app for your phone but don’t take you ps4 to a friend’s house and use it there) but…

If you’re interested in a home and are thinking of making an offer you can ask your realtor to ask the seller for their average utilities cost. Our town offers an average monthly cost that included water, gas, electricity, cable, and Internet.

Around where we are the term HOA is used to describe nearly no HOA. Like thr dues are under $100/year kind of thing with almost no real rules to speak of. I’m not even sure what they do at all except maybe keep up some of the common lawns. But if you have to pay an HOA of $100/month or more then you probably have a…

My mortgage gave our payment estimates including taxes, MIP, and insurance in addition to the principal and interest. That was really helpful. It ended up being a little more than the estimate but it was a really good guide. We used Quicken for our mortgage.

I try not to wander. They can always change gates on you and you’ll be SOL. I try to seat myself where I can see the actual gate information and keep checking it to make sure it still says my flight info. I hate when I get there early enough that another flight’s info is up there that’s before my flights. I’ve…

If you got to be gate before 15 minutes before hand and that’s what your ticket said then technically they need to refund you!

Oddly enough I ended up flying frontier last trip out to LA not because of price but because of it being the only non stop that worked with our schedule (we have to drive 4 hours to get to Orlando, but it’s better than having a layover somewhere/more horrid schedule options flying out of Tallahassee or dealing with…

You can sometimes get a chain rate that low but you’re stuck with only one gym in the chain and it’s never a nice one or even competent for that price. But for big chains in LA, like 24 hour gym starts at $50 a person. The place I have now doesn’t have a ton of things but to very competent for cardio machines, free…

Reminds me of something my mom used to say and I’ve added to it....If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. But if it’s broke for the love of everything fix it, fix it now!!!!

It does but for some people they get something out of that at least. I do not. I’m just looking at what best fits my needs in safety, seat capacity, ikea/camping hauls, and not breaking down.

Not sure if I responded to this earlier but I drove it a lot more the first 5 or 6 years I had it and I drove it from FL to CA and it’s baked in the hot sun its entire life. I drove my probe ford the same and it just slowly died. Though who knows what my sis did to it (she did the FL to CA trip in it before I got…

Did this last year and it does help. I stopped two twitch subscriptions (now Amazon prime offers a free sub every month so I support the one that’s still active with money I’m already giving Amazon), got rid of marvel crate (6/yr and meh stuff). We also stopped paying for subscriptions (we still pay for GameStop…

I just read this and it was interesting. I’m not sure what was to blame but its probably like most big things, it’s a combo of bad things some of which were out of anyone’s control.

There was so much more to it than that. Mostly it was the banks being greedy and reckless since they didn’t care if the person defaulted. They were selling it bundled with others anyway a few days later. So long as they didn’t default before then that’s all they cared about. Then there was the whole list of issues…

I read on a tweet of someone I don’t know that their mortgage went up $50 because of trump (and what was said made it sound like a trump supporter). Is it possible for an already done mortgage (FHA for me specifically) to go up because of what he’s already done or rather not necessarily him specifically but what’s…
