• Is $250 a month in disposable income livable for a family of 3?

  You'll be going into a tight budget time, so get a really good system in place. If you don't have that you love already, I recommend YNAB (youneedabudget.com). It's envelope based and is really good for planning ahead for irregular expenses and for "rolling with the punches" if something comes up. It works differently than traditional monthly budget, so take time to use all the resources to learn the system. ... Source: 11 months ago

• LPT Request: What is your favorite life hack that has saved you money, time, or made your day-to-day activities easier?

  I also said in a comment below, I use YNAB to track my financial life. This strategy only works if you have enough confidence in your finances to know that if I gave you a card with 100k credit limit, you would never spend more on it than what you have in your bank and has been budgeted for.

Now the whole plan is in one place, and covers everything from how much is set aside for gardening supplies for this summer to the big... Source: about 1 year ago

• My grandfather passed away and left me 25k. I have next to no savings and I owe money on a couple credit cards and a car. Almost 40, how do I maximize this?

  Aside from all the other advice, get a subscription to YNAB (youneedabudget.com) and start using it religiously. It will help prevent any backsliding and will put you in a much better financial situation going forward. Source: about 1 year ago

• Echo Plus 1st gen will not pair and alexa app will not find it

  So our Alexa Echo Plus has been working great until our account was hacked. Thinking it was not paired correctly I reset the device. First with the button then with a pin on the bottom.

• Echo gen 1 setup not working

  Edit 1: spent the last 2 hours looking in to what I believe is every possible reddit post related to this issue, I have found out that many have solved it with the web interface using alexa.amazon.com which right now only prompts me to scan a qr code that will open the alexa app on my device thus useless, otherwise there is the possibility to try and connect it as a tap device, which for me does not work, I have...
