    Flexible side gigs?

    So I popped into this thread myself for some ideas, but I have one very minimal effort idea to add: Not sure if you're planning on more kids and wanting to save most things, but one of my sides hustles has been consigning my son's outgrown clothing, books, toys, etc. Definitely check to see if...

    2025 Planning from the USA with a 7 year old- is my plan too "American?"

    Ooooh thank you so much for this! I had no idea it existed. I will for sure use this! That's an excellent point, and I think that's one area where I'm "Americanizing" a bit. At WDW, it isn't practical to go to all of the resorts just to sightsee because you have to do all kinds of gymnastics...

    Debt Dumpers 2023

    Ours always being 9AM on a Sunday is a blessing and a cruse. On the one hand, it is a scramble if we have something else going on that day, like we do this time, on the other hand, it's nice because I never have to try to do it in the middle of the workday or something.

    Debt Dumpers 2023

    Hahaha I'm one of those nuts who starts shopping day after Christmas for the next year (if I can find a deal). But as my son is getting older it's harder to shop TOO much ahead because he has specific wants and interests that change. I'm getting into true shopping mode now, but I've trimmed down...

    SO true! Funny you mention Varicose veins. I have one from my pregnancy that is painful. It's the only one that is visible, but I'm guessing I have more because even though I can't see them, I can definitely feel them. I'd been holding off because I didn't know if I'd get pregnant again, but I...

    Debt Dumpers 2023

    That's a good point- hadn't thought about that either. Also with DS5 breastfeeding didn't work anyway due to my size, because he couldn't latch properly, so maybe it wouldn't matter anyhow. Definitely something to consider though, I do remember them warning me of that when I went in for a...

    2023 Goal Progress- Summer Check in! -Pay immediately for all plumbing work, but use CCs for rewards as always. DONE. Ended up using some of what I didn't put down for the house to pay most of my HVAC Work off. I have a bit more for some electrical work I also had done still in financing. Now...

    Debt Dumpers 2023

    I've always wondered if this could happen. I desperately could use a reduction at a 38 HH, but I'm trying to hold out a bit longer until I'm absolutely sure I'm never going to have another baby, because I think that could make them grow back too.

    2025 Planning from the USA with a 7 year old- is my plan too "American?"

    Hi All! I'm in the U.S. looking to finally make the much longed for and pandemic suspended DLP trip, looking at 2025. We (my then 7 year old and I) will we going with my adult friends and their 15 year old twins, along with another adult friend as a group, (although my son and I will likely...

    Debt Dumpers 2023

    Well things have been up and down. I'm VERY glad I didn't put everything down on my house that I had for a down payment. It looks like my savings will be taking a big hit this year. Long story short, I negotiated for a furnace replacement when I bought my home. The seller (flippers) grabbed an...

    Just Back from 3 days/2 nights at DLP, some thoughts

    Phenomenal review, thank you very much. I'm also American planning my first visit for 2025. How was transportation around the resort? Comparable to DLR or more WDW in terms of getting from place to place on property? You said you did a prepaid ride share- do you happen to remember who it was...

    Debt Dumpers 2023

    Hi everyone!!! Happy 2023! I'm glad to see this thread is still so active. If you've been here a long time you'll know I used to be a lot more active here. Last year was an absolute disaster in more ways than I can count, but one thing I can say is that my finances turned out ok despite just...

    Debt Dumpers 2022

    HELLOOOOOO DEBT DUMPERS!!! I feel like every year for the last few years I drop in and then just sort of fade away. As ya'll know, the last few years of my life have been hectic (Covid aside) between my DH's mental health issues and several out of state moves. We are settled in the Orlando...

    How Long Did It Take Inspire to upload your kids PCR test?

    Hi all, hoping someone can help. I took my son last night to get his PCR through inspire at the Sheraton for our Friday sailing. I got the results back that he was negative almost an hour later. How long after getting the text with the result did you actually see inspire upload the result to...

    Share your holiday shopping bargains

    Well I just accepted a new position! They matched my pay and it's full time instead of part time and I'll start in 2 weeks. Won't make a huge difference in time for Christmas, but it does mean I got DS the Wall-E robot he's been wanting and even used my 25% off to get it for 30 something. The...

    Best Time to Shop for Christmas?

    Agreed. My Walmart and Target are the same. Our Target has almost no Halloween items left- it seems like they got what they got and then had nothing left to refill shelves. Like you said, definitely looks akin to what is usually looks like the first week of November when they clear it all out...

    Debt Dumpers 2021

    I am SO happy for you. It's so awful when a supervisor can't be happy for someone's personal growth and allow them to transition with grace as pp said. Please let us know if you end up doing a TR for your trip, we are wanting to go to Aulani and I'd LOVE to hear more!

    Best Time to Shop for Christmas?

    Ah! I forgot all about pictures. Although I just had some taken of DS in July so I may use those. Just got a Shutterfly coupon in the mail (50% + free shipping- anyone know if that's their best deal or should I hold out a little longer)
