Thank you!

Invest in some lessons with a reputable drivers ed company. I did not drive for 10 years while living in MA, I was always near a train line, it’s a great place to live w/out a car. I decided to take some lessons to freshen up my skills since I was purchasing a car when I got to CT and would have to drive everywhere. It was nice having the option and helped me get over some reservations about driving again.

As much as I love snow, I’d be ok with this.

Awesome, thanks a bunch for the link and for the information. I'll give them a call.

Snow ain't falling yet, I'd high tail it to the store! The investment today will make tomorrow... more tolerable. Ginger turmeric tea hits the spot though, too. Hope you feel better!

I was making around $150k base with like a $80k bonus. The bonus helped with the down payment. House was $430k in the summer of 2019. Small 1940/ cape in Fairfield County - 4 beds 2 full bath but only like 1400 sq ft.

I did borrow some money from my dad for closing costs. Around $20k. I paid him back by the next bonus. Honestly, I feel like getting a bonus is the biggest advantage + having any help.

For the toddler: pretzel sticks, milk, yogurt melts, goldfish, yogurt, bananas, eggs, dino nuggets, strawberries, pasta, claussen pickles, cheese. I eat whatever’s left.

I usually do, but unfortunately forgot to get lemon and honey. I have some ginger turmeric tea that's really good though. 👍

This is the last one, then stupid cold briefly, then instant summer

5oz of chocolate pudding, 3 cups of milk, a bowl and new whisk. There will be a pudding coma, mark my words.

Every time it snows, it costs me $100 to have the road cleared. So not too happy

Just bought a house. We’re both veterans with no kids and my husband is 100% disabled. There’s also 3 working adults in the house. We both saved a ton and his disability pretty much covers mortgage and utilities. We live in Fairfield county. It was $345k about 2000 sqft give or take.

We have fully paid off cars and even though we’re also in school we’re vets so that’s paid for.

There’s a lot of other factors and we carefully planned every step. Sometimes I don’t know how we did it as we feel so young (25,26) but you really have to map it out and don’t just rush to the first house you like.

Try medicaid. Medicaid in ct is really good.

Here is a website that can help you see if you qualify. I recommend you call them on the phone and talk to someone so they can help figure out if your situation qualifies.

Also try calling 211 to see if they can help you if access health can't.

I'm lucky my job goes with whatever the local schools district go. So we are closed and no work from home.

Well, schools are now closed so that means it’ll miss us completely and my kid will be home for no reason! Yay

Medicaid and contribute to an IRA to reduce MAGI if needed.

The ADHD medication shortage is getting worse. What went wrong?

Well everyone has ADHD now so this is what happens.

Combined annual income of $400,000

House purchased for $650,000 with 25% down

2 kids

Same here. It’s hard atm but we’re doing it.

Have you considered drinking honey ginger lemon tea? Always helps me bounce back from the cold.

nope. And the problem is if you call and they tell you it's available, and your doctor doesn't send the script that same day. Or even that same minute. They'll be sold out . And your back to square 1

I've had similar problems a few times in the past with metadate er.

Honestly, you can. I handle clients all the time that do.

Oh, sorry, forgot what year it is 🫣

Bullshit. Had no problem paying my mortgage with a salary under $40k.
