Did anyone ever experience being cold all the time?

My father never had enough blankets and the house was freezing. I was frequently cold and had nothing to cover with. I would check the closet obsessively but there were never any blankets. I never felt like I could ask and I never had the idea to pile clothes on because I was very young. At my mom's house, it was the same. She was too cheap to turn the heat on high enough. I would go to bed with my winter coat and hat on. I was never comfortable at all. Both, Mom and Dad were not in tune with my needs. Now, as an adult, I pay for whatever heat and cooling. It's my way of parenting myself properly. I'll work an extra shift to afford the energy bill as long as I'm good. Can anyone relate?

I have a neighbor two doors down on my court who is cray-cray. She violently yells at her husband at all hours, randomly. Just the other day, I woke up to her screaming at 3am.

Even though she has been nice to me, I never want to talk to her again. I have just witnessed too much. She is off her rocker. Her husband is being abused and is not leaving her. Also, she came into my gated yard to drop off flowers AFTER I directly told her not to enter my gate. So, maybe she's not that nice.

I don't want anything to do with her.

It reminds me of my mother. She would yell at us so violently, cuss at us, tell us to FUCK OFF. I bet neighbors heard this and didn't want to talk to her ever again, just like how I feel about my neighbor. No wonder people in the neighborhood didn't want to talk to her. If they even heard ONE of her rage episodes...

I had an almost-friend who spoke to her child roughly, and I never talked to her again after I witnessed that.

It just makes me wonder how much of her neighborhood/family isolation was because of what people heard when she spoke/yelled at us.

I’ve been driving this Honda Fit since 2010, my ages 30-46!! It’s got 227,000 miles on it. Last year, I spent about $2000 on tires, brakes and preventative maintenance. I’ve taken great care of it, so it just keeps going and going.

However, it’s a hoopty. It’s dented up in three paces, paint chipped like hell, and the interior is so gross. 16 years of spills. I took it to get detailed and they really didn’t do a good job considering how much I paid!

I feel weird in this car. It’s also uncomfortable physically but I don’t drive too much anyway with these gas prices and I’m a hermit. However, when I do drive, it’s uncomfortable.

I have major fomo and yolo now thinking about better cars.

My net worth is 875k and won’t be a million for a bit. I think DR wants you to have a million before getting a new car. Right? I’m currently throwing anything extra at the mortgage. I make $150k in a HCoL area.

I was thinking I could splurge on a good steam cleaner and detail it myself. Maybe that will make me feel better.

I really don’t want a car payment. My current insurance is only $65/mo. No one will ever ever ever steal this car. Trust me. Registration is cheap.

I know I shouldn’t get a new car right now, because it will derail my progress. I just need motivation and encouragement!!
