Too Old for Air Mattresses

Oct 16, 2022 00:41


My aunt's nephew told me that there will be no place for me to sleep at my aunt's house next weekend. My mom will sleep in the recliner. He told me that he'd buy an air mattress if I wanted, but I said that I was too old for air mattresses, and he laughed. I booked a hotel for me to stay at.

Everything is indicating a recession so, cut costs and start saving money. Lock your inheritance in to an investment because let's face it, you're a spender ;) I'm still waiting to hear how your treadmill is, and about your bread making lol

Good luck honey.

The bread maker doesn't mix bread well, and it made a big mess. The treadmill is a fair cop, although right now, my aunt's stereo is on top of it.

Maybe I should put the money into a CD.

I lock my 'no touch' money in term deposits for specific periods of time (like 5 years). As lending rates go up, so will the rate of these investments. At your age, I'm not sure if purchasing a home is the best way to go. If you retire in 5 years, and want to relocate to somewhere else, you may lose a good chunk of your equity based on the short time you've been paying the mortgage via realtor fees, and housing prices. My best advice is pay down your debt, and save $$.

I'm planning on retiring in 10 years.

Yeah. While an air mattress might be okay for actually sleeping, getting up from one would be a workout.

Yeah, I'd probably end up rolling on the floor.

I was able to get Skechers at a discount on eBay.

The new fruit bars are good.

She said that she's not feeling emotionally supported by me, but I don't know what she wants. She dumps all her stress on me, gets disappointed in me, and hangs up.

Mothers can be a curse. You don't have to run rings around her, just do what you can.

Sending you long distance hugs

Yeah, I don't know how to deal with her, but I think that things will be better after we finish cleaning out my aunt's house. IN the meanwhile, I have to learn to let it roll off of me.
