I'm in my 30's and I still don't feel like an adult. I always feel like I'm mimicking what someone my age should be, and then when I go home, it's like, "finally, away from all those scary adults."
I'm trying to get myself together too (though not nearly as impressive as your method). I'm writing down everything I spend, from a soda, or groceries, to rent. I quickly saw I was spending, like, to the penny of my check,, and saw I wasted a good $200 on just bullshit. I'm trying to put on my big girl panties and get it together. Whenever I saw no to something, I've been putting it in a savings account. Like, "eh, I can make dinner at home." Okay, then that $15 for the cheeseburger that you were okay with is now going into savings.
My goal is to end this year without debt. School, credit card, all of it. Tired of it lol
Honestly, it's been a great help reducing take out. It's such a gamble, I'd rather spent nothing on a sure thing (even if it's boring) than nearly $40 for a meal I may not even finish.
"And along with freedom fighter, Martin Luther King, we would also like to honor the great general Lee, who fought hard to keep half of our population in servitude and went on to surrender valiantly. While he didn't win the war, he won our hearts."
It's not like he even needs the money, like he was in a desperate situation and it was this gig or lose the farm. Just did it because he doesn't care and is greedy. Disgusting and disappointing.
Not that I've noticed. I can usually fiddle with the settings (some even let you program a day and night mode). But I also state at screens all day, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
I don't know if it's a "loophole," but I find my phone to be a pretty good eReader. I did the same with an old tablet (just has the eReader and the book(s)). I've never had a real eReader so I can't really comment on the difference, but if you're just trying to read, a good app costs a couple bucks, way cheaper.
I wonder if she gets quiet because she's brought up the same, exact issue multiple times and she's tired of her concerns being invalidated and forgotten as "women, am I right?"
This can go both ways. She could be upset he's not a mind reader, or she could be upset that he doesn't give a fuck. A " Schrodinger's Douchebag" if you will.
