Submitted my taxes at 10pm last night. It feels good to be ahead of schedule 🤣🤣🤣

Happy May 1st, everyone! So excited summer is right around the corner.

Starting to prep my garden beds for vegetable plantings in a few weeks. Sugar snap peas are already sprouting 🌱

The big question is... will I spend more on garden supplies than the produce I reap??? 🤣🤣🤣

Sometimes life throws you curve balls.

Friday it was 35 degrees and snowing. In mid-April.

Today is sunny and 60 degrees.

Roll with the punches and make the most of it. Resilience is essential!😊

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

(I don't actually remember... but Twitter did! lol)

Tax Day!!!

Federal Taxes are postponed until May 17th, but check to see if your state taxes are due today! Some states postponed and some didn't.

Just wanted to pop in and say FB Marketplace is awesome. My best deal recently: a FREE IKEA desk in used, but very good condition. Only a 10-minute drive away, porch pickup, and perfect for my new WFH job!

...I also spend too much time on FB to be 'first response' on such deals

My last weekend being unemployed! Ready to start earning some $$$ come Monday :-D

And no, this is not a reddit hyped stock. 🤣

[Sarah Saverdink @Saverdinks]

I have religiously invested in index funds my entire career - 15+ years. I'm considering YOLOing on an individual stock over the next few months with a small subset of my assets.

Go big or go home, right? If it works out, we'll be FIRE years earlier than planned.🤞

I'm starting a new (fully remote!) job in a few weeks, yet I am having recurring nightmares about future coworkers disregarding COVID protocols. Refusing to wear masks, coughing on me, invading my personal space... yet I will not be in an office! My brain needs to chill out 🙃

[Sarah Saverdink @Saverdinks]

I am mentally (and physically) exhausted. Several major life events/decisions within a 10 day period is simply not cool. I miss the good ol' days of lounging around the house and simply pondering when I should go for my daily stroll around the neighborhood... Here's to 2021!

[Sarah Saverdink @Saverdinks]

@TreadLightly_RE Not an option 🤣🤣 I wish that were the case!! I'm aiming for a steady 40 hours/week gig with **occasional** overtime if needed. Why is that so hard to find in corporate America??

[Sarah Saverdink @Saverdinks]

If you had two choose between two job offers...

Job 1: Slightly higher pay, great work/life balance & vacation, decent career growth potential, less exciting work

Job 2: Good Pay, longer hours, "unlimited" vacation policy, amazing career opportunity, very interesting work

???

@TreadLightly_RE puh-lease, EVERYONE is there! I joined when it was an itty bitty group trying to hit 5,000 members😉

[Sarah Saverdink @Saverdinks]

@TreadLightly_RE I started logging back in a few months ago. I'm not very good at remembering, as you can see! I mainly follow the Women's Personal Finance group on Facebook 😊

Today is THE day! So excited for our country to move forward. It's been a long four years.

[Sarah Saverdink @Saverdinks]

I love calculating our year-end net worth. Just me?

I'm surprised how well we did this year given everything that has been going on. Onward to 2021!

[Sarah Saverdink @Saverdinks]

Exercise is so important. With the cold, nasty weather setting in (New England here!), I decided to purchase a used spin bike.

$225 on FB Marketplace for a high-quality but simple (no electronics) bike. Love it so far!

So should I purchase a subscription exercise program?
