    Is nostalgia happy or sad for you?

    Lately every time I get nostalgic and look at old photos, think back, etc. it makes me sad. Which then makes me even MORE sad, as those memories used to always bring me joy. Is that a function of age, I wonder? How about you: when you get nostalgic, does it make you happy, or sad (or, I...

    Don't want it and you will get it

    Manifestation says: If you want something, pretend you already have it. FEEL the feeling of gratitude for it, and then basically forget about it and let the Universe do its thing and deliver. I myself have had mixed results using this strategy! :ROFLMAO:

    Bullying has changed! Now the bullies live in kids' pockets. Not just social media but texting as well.

    No IRS tax refund deposited yet

    I've heard they are still processing refunds due from 2020! I never get a refund so FYI that is hearsay/secondhand information.

    I'm Giving Inflation A Run For Its Money. How Are You Doing It?

    Oh, I have another couple to share. First, I learned a few weeks ago that my bank (Sagewell) gives discounts at what seems like all the big retailers (at least the ones I shop like Walmart and Walgreens for example). Also cashback on gas. So I make it a point to use their card when I shop and...

    I'm Giving Inflation A Run For Its Money. How Are You Doing It?

    What a fun (and educational) topic! I was paying a flippin fortune for the maple chicken breakfast links I love and wondered if I could make sausage myself in patty form. So I researched how to make sausage seasoning, hit the dollar store for cheap & plentiful spices, mixed it all up with ground...

    Would you consult a retirement coach?

    Honestly check out the bank (Sagewell) I posted about, above they include one without charging big fees upfront ($20 per month) or taking a percentage of all your money. If $20/ month seems tough they offer discounts you get just by using your debit card and I just found out they do cashback on...

    Would you consult a retirement coach?

    Even though I am (mostly) clueless about the best practices in planning for retirement if you had asked me a while ago if I would want or need a retirement coach I would have laughed. Turns out that the place where I bank (SagewellFinancial.com) comes with one for me as part of my monthly...

    Downsizing...

    I downsized to live in an RV then upsized again for a my 2bd house (which at 965sqf is a small house, so still...not a lot of stuff). It's difficult in that it's a lot of work and it's shocking now little people are willing to pay for well cared for, high quality items, but it is SUCH a...

    What Social Media platform do you use the most?

    Facebook to stay more easily connected to far away friends and family. That is the only one I use anymore.

    Online only banks

    I never want to go to the physical bank so virtual ones suit me just fine! A few months ago, I moved from one virtual bank (Credit Karma) to another (Sagewell Financial) because Sagewell is retirement-focused. They charge a small monthly fee but they give like a 4.4-ish% interest rate on...
