➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

The only reason I was concerned about putting her out there is because it’s been raining all day long and I was worried about the wet and mud and poop getting to it. I am over thinking it?

Well I don't think I would have put my girl right back with the flock if it was nasty and raining out.
So no I don't think you are over thinking it.

Just now?


Hilarious Kelsey.

Just DO IT.
I promise you will not die if you turn your phone off for 24 hours.
Turn off your tablet off too.

Hey, there are a lot weirder people on this site.

And okay, that is true. I promise I will try tomorrow. I have a lot to get done so hoping I can do it all.

KDog has it made in the shade...until she doesn't.

I won’t lie that I definitely do in a way cause they do buy like everything/take me places and such but I am at least aware of it

But besides the sitting around thing, which I am improving with the job, I also need to work on my spending habits. Cause I do waste a lot of money. And it is not mine. But I could technically pay for my own stuff but I think they have said they want me to save it. So I’d rather just try to work on being better about not buying stuff. The impulse buying, both online and in stores, is the biggest thing atm. And they don’t currently make me pay for the car but the lease is up in August so I think I will get my own car and start paying it then. And maybe phone too. Idk. I definitely have a lot to work on but I’m aware of what they do and that I wouldn’t be able to support myself probably otherwise and want to change that. And I know we really don’t have the money to be wasting. I have friends who are ridiculously spoiled and brats and I’d like to think I am not that way.

You are not a brat but you are spoiled rotten.


The Mini is 9...he just turned 9.
He is required to put so much money away each month for his car.
He will be required to buy his own car when it is time.

You really do have it easy girlfriend. You are lucky but I am worried you are in for a big surprise.

not a brat
but I don't think your parents are doing you any favors by this life style
some day you will need the life skills you have not learned yet

Dog...ask you parents to send you on a vacation...to my house.
Come stay with me for a month.

Time flies by fast K.
Before you know it you are going to be old.
Watch.

Yeah I know. That’s what I’m worried about. I already feel old. I just turned 25 and idk what I’ve been doing the past several years ha

Not only a real job but a good credit rating too

I think that is pretty good/high or it was last time I checked.

And if you put money from your parents in the bank instead of junk food your balance could grow more quickly.

Yep, having a "payroll" or steady income job does make you more acceptable as a renter.

The weird thing is I actually do sometimes save cash but then sometimes I go through phases or something. Idk. It is weird. Generally I am actually better about saving cash than I am saving money in a bank account and I don’t typically touch cash but then sometimes I have phases where I spend it. Think I am in one lately. But I might put some in my spot cause when it’s there I don’t spend it but when it’s in my purse/visible I do. Or I might put it all in my bank.

And thanks. That’s unfortunate but makes sense. Guess I will have to get a real job then.

Kelsey, I had a discussion with my 16 year old grand nephew Austin the other day about getting chickens and building a coop to house them. He has a part time job helping on a show quarter horse farm. He wants to be a cowboy.....
He said he has an account set up for saving for a better horse than the two he already owns.
I suggested to Austin that adding a regular $ amount to a saving account specifically for retirement would be helpful to him if he doesn't work in a job where a pension is available.
Most young kids don't think about retirement 40 to 50 years down the road. We trained our girls to think ahead. Now all are past the age of 40 and each has commented positively on that advice.
Another consideration is purchasing life insurance while the fixed premiums are lower. Trying to get it when you are older means paying higher premiums for the same policy.

Thanks. That’s good advice. I actually have heard my parents and brothers talk about retirement and stuff. My older brother is really good with his money and doesn’t spend like anything ha so they’ve talked about how I need to start putting money away. I think I might start that soon too. Idk. Idk if I want two savings accounts. Right now I just have one and no checking so I don’t touch it. I might make two eventually but trying to get to a certain amount first.

You are not a brat but you are spoiled rotten.

I don’t think of it that way but I guess maybe I am. Idk.

You make a 9 year old save for a car!?

I guess so. Idk. I think I’ll be fine. I know how the real world works and stuff, just have never worked in it if that makes sense.

not a brat

Yeah, probably not. Idk. I am kind of aware of that and in some ways have tried to get them to not. Idk. I think my mom especially enables me and/or babies me and is a little too dependent or something none of which is good. Although now that she has a job it’s been a little better. But I need to separate myself some. But the weird thing is when I am home alone or staying at my brother’s or wherever, I do way more and do my own dishes and stuff. When otherwise I don’t normally. And I am almost like too active and constantly moving around the house/take forever to do anything and wear myself out. As opposed to just planting and vegetating in front of a screen. So I think my mother enables me a bit and I’m kind of ashamed to say, I honestly think I probably let her/take advantage of it to an extent. Cause I also don’t do anything around the house yet when I am forced to, I do. So that’s also partly why I think I can handle a job and that stuff. I know how to do stuff but I just don’t most of the time. And that’s also partly why I don’t think that I’m actually depressed or anything cause when I’m away from this place, I actually do stuff and take care of myself and be responsible and am way happier too. I like being alone/away from them lol and I’m like totally different when I am. So I think I will be fine if I can get out. My brothers don’t really come home very much/stay away and they also both have good jobs and went to really good schools and stuff so idk why I haven’t. I think they (mostly mom) enable me/baby me much more than them/are too attached or something. And I think I am definitely the failure of the family lmfaooo
