I'm a newly single mom to a teenager who will eat anything. I work full time and would like to try a meal plan that doesn't involve me basically cooking like Hungry Root does.

I'm trying to decide if its worth the extra money to try Tovala instead of Tempo meals? Has anyone tried both?

Do you feel like Tovala offers fair healthy meal choices?

I've been trying to research weekly costs since the meals online dont list prices....do most people pay around $13-15/serving? I typically try to keep our dinners around $20 total, but with prices rising at the store and not having to keep the mental load of planning a week of meals, I feel like this might be worth the extra expense.

Appreciate any info yall can think of!!

I'm relocating and have decided instead of rolling my $350k into a new house I want to spend a year or two renting a condo to figure out what area I want to purchase in. Doing so will give me $350k to invest over those years.

Any advice on what ETFs to invest in for the next two years? I do plan to keep half of the money invested even when I do decide to purchase a new home.

I have a job offer in Alexandria. I previously lived in Alexandria, DC, and Maryland for over 15 years. We've been in Georgia for the past 12 years and are now moving back. I do eventually plan to buy again, but we'd like to take a year or two renting so that I can decide where I really want a home long term.

It will be my 18-year-old son and me. He likes the idea of renting a 2-bedroom condo at the Harbor, so we'll be close to DC and can walk out to dinner. He also thinks it'd be a cool area to be in when people come to visit us.

I'm curious if anyone has lived there and can give their take on it. What other areas should I consider, possibly the Mosaic district in Fairfax? Amenities like a pool and gym would be a plus.

Any advice is much appreciated!!
