Except the expense.

Set an alarm on the HomePod mini across the room.

I have a Norelco Sonicare and the white plastic is yellowing bad. Doesn’t affect the performance, just looks dirty all the time. I’ve even bleached it before and it just keeps on looking dingy.

I never saw the hype but I don’t fault anyone for liking it.

I feel that for sure. I took a major hit about 6 years ago because I had to take money out for a down payment on a house. Seeing it slowly crawl back up and even stall makes it seem like a terrible financial decision, but knowing how housing prices have gone in that time on the west coast and the major money it has saved us in monthly payment makes it feel so much better. Sometimes for a better view we need to back up and take in more. Sounds like you’re already doing that, and that you’re in a decent financial position.

I put in 20% (roughly 20 grand per year) and my balance is also only slightly higher than 1 year ago. It may feel like that money is gone but I assure you it’s not.

You should have the ability to pay for it yourself and then upload the receipt(s).

Wife and I make pretty good money but also have been struggling a bit with the newish financial reality of having two kids in daycare. We knew going in what what were in for, but sometimes the reality is tougher than you expect.

We do not want for much, but we do live fairly frugally compared to others in our friend circle, most of whom make about the same amount of money. However, we did overextend ourselves a bit this year for Christmas. First time having two kids for Christmas and I may have went a little overboard with my 4 year old.

Anyway, thought we were going to have to pay off about $500 on a credit card. Not a huge deal. But yesterday my wife found out that she hasn’t been getting paid the $4/hr raise she got when she moved into a new position at her work in September. It’s looking like not only are we going to get a couple grand in back pay, but we’re also going to have an extra ~$400+ per month in our budget after taxes. Every little bit helps, and a nice surprise to find out you actually make more as a household than you thought.

I call bullshit.
