I agree with BAE. No one should go. I have socially distanced with 4 of us total, outside, and honestly, even that is hard. 30, 40 people? That is a ticket to a respirator. You have no idea who has...

Hmmm... we also realized that we consider her a "rock." Super stable, independent, lots of friends, etc. so I think we did leave her alone (so as not to be pushy parents) and we didn't realize that...
I don't think she wants to fix him, but they truly do get along well and she loves the outdoors, sports, camping, etc. and so does he. I am sure that he is a beggar, schmoozer, apologist, crier, etc....
So the more I think about it, what Happystuff asked makes sense: is your dd afraid to be without this guy or is she afraid to be "alone"? Should I ask her that?
Yppeg, funny that you said they should be quarantining. Well, I just found out today that she is still seeing him. She is seeing a therapist, so that's good, and she knows it is a bad time to have a...
Update: First of all, it was great to have a place to ask for unbiased, thoughtful advice. Thank you so much. We called her and asked if we could check in. I first asked her if she was single and she...
Not right now because she lives in another city. But she could very well call soon. She came home for a few days, and talked about it, gave details, cried, etc. We just hung out with her and tried...
razz, are you suggesting I tell her about the book? It sounds appropriate, that's for sure. And Gardner, thanks for the reminder to not bad mouth the guy. And Listen, which we have been doing....then...
So my 25 year old just found her boyfriend of over a year cheated on her for six weeks. Of course, I don't want her to go back to him, but she might. Madly in love. He is actively trying to get her...
i just pulled out my old FlyLady book...I tried it when I was younger with kids, but now I am home more and retired, so it's a different set of problems. I notice she does 15 minutes at a time. Is...
I agree! So beautiful! Do you have an Easy account?
Had my meeting today with Vanguard and straightened some things out. Yes, we've had the meeting with a fee based financial planner.
This afternoon I hope to sign up for the on line account with a...
I was reading through the Organizing using the FlyLady method and thinking about how this group might be interested in doing a "financial challenge" with me. I am trying to take care of a lot of...
Early congratulations. You sound like you are in my boat. My husband and I are in our first year of retirement and also funding it ourselves until our pension kicks in. We are 59 & 61. First of all,...
Thanks for your input! I can do this. I can do this. I can do this! Starting today!
Since there are places where it is advised to avoid using a debit card, often times I will use a credit card. Then my husband and I will buy things separately and I get the credit card bill and am...
Chris Guillibeau (sp) (The Art of Noncomformity) currently has a daily email that goes out with side gigs. You may get some inspiration from those.
Congratulations. Also, be sure to double check how much your pension will be. Sometimes it is not very much. You may want to keep putting money away...like a Roth IRA...
Thanks, everyone. I will take your advice to heart!
It's too big for me because I am short. I was being vague about the kind of car and the price, btw, because I am embarrassed. I am on a a "Simple Living" sight. Ugh. Anyway, it is a great car, but...
Gardner, I like your thinking. Just saw this post after I posted again. I do think we need a cheaper car because we can't justify how much we are spending each month and total. Also, it is too big...
O.K. so I am thinking of putting both pieces of advice to work. WS, thank you for reminding me "what's done is done." The good news is that I have two credit unions and a good credit score. I did...
So we bought a mid sized SUV and got a loan through the dealer (something we haven't done in 20 years). Afterward, reality hit us that we still haven't sold one of our old cars (3000.00 worth) and we...
Thanks, everyone. I am glad to know my gut is correct. I think I made the mistake of not saying I was uncomfortable up front OR even having a philosophy in place. Well, now I know. I might just tell...
I need to know if I am being logical. A friend who I see often wants to buy my car for her 20 year old son. Said son got into a huge wreck recently and now they are buying him another car. It was his...
