Workout guy – Set quantifiable goals that are obtainable and adjust as you progress (# of miles / day; # of workouts / week).
When to end a relationship gal – Your submission reads like you already know the answer; you have to be 100% rowing in the same direction re: kids / no kids. Eventually he or you will resent the other for differing opinions and life aspirations.
My wife turned 29 yesterday so I’m throwing her a surprise bday party by the pool on Saturday (shhh don’t tell her). Grilling burgers and dogs on the Weber; there will be watermelon, ice cream, and cold beer. Have fun everyone.
You should have just called the stores and asked if they had the bag in stock first… that would have saved you countless hours and provided you enough time to buy online
The next progression to the laundry hamper is a laundry chute. The house we bought had one in the master bath to the basement and it’s a game changer. Outta sight, outta mind… (until Sunday when you are in the basement all day cleaning clothes).
I agree with Desk Jockey as well. It’s all about balancing needs and wants, something I feel our generation ignores bc of the need for instant gratification.
The one powerful thing we have that the older generations do not have is time – a powerful tool when trying to accumulate wealth in the long run. That said, you have to pay yourself first and start as early as possible… meaning: 1. Contribute as much as you can to your retirement / 401k (if offered), up to your company’s matching rate… aka free money (if offered); 2. Additionally set aside a portion of each paycheck to additional savings (if possible); 3. Pay down expensive debt in a reasonable manner, chipping away at the principal on a scheduled amortization plan. You will learn to live off of a smaller “discretionary paycheck” but will also better your personal balance sheet.
After you address these three items, then you budget in your “lifestyle” choices (rent for a luxury apartment vs. buying a smaller starter home to build equity; shopping at Kroger vs. Whole Foods; ordering butter/jelly and toast vs. avacado toast; etc etc etc.).
I rant but it’s true (in my opinion) – we have to be self reliant and be responsible for our decisions.
Friday night staycation with the wife – we live in ATL but had a free Marriott night that expires soon so booked a hotel next to the Braves ball park, caught the game (lost unfortunately – Star Wars night… fun time none-the-less) and heading back tomorrow morning to host a Cinco de Derby party in the afternoon / evening.

Is that policy for both shared and personal technology (i.e. watching a movie together vs. scrolling on IG)?
Trying to distance myself from my assigned millennial monicker while I constantly refresh PGP throughout the day…
