• 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: 12 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. If not, I cannot overstate how important it is to get your budget in order beforehand. There’s zero money saved if you pay... Source: 12 months ago

• Fund future vacations

  If you aren’t already giving every dollar you make a job, earning more money will only get you so far. Check out YNAB, read all the free content about learning to plan and budget. Source: about 1 year ago

• Tracking savings goals

  Track it by hand or in software. I started out with just a spreadsheet, but since then moved my whole budget to YNAB (youneedabudget.com), where you track all your individual savings goals as well as how your money will be used to cover regular (and irregular) expenses. 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

• I’ve been on Seeking for a while now and not luck at all , am I ugly ?

  As to your photos: invest in these. Don't post selfies, rather *hire* a professional or semi-professional photographer and do this the right way. You can find one via thumbtack.com, expect to spend $150-200 and you'll get some amazing photos. Source: about 1 year ago

• What do you think about a fitness marketplace?

  Other than bark.com, thumbtack.com, findmytrainer.com, or the many other sites and apps that connect clients to trainers? Even a google search for "athletic trainers [my town]" yields dozens of results in any sizable community, and there's lots of review and feedback components for these listings. What do you envision bringing to the table that these sites and apps aren't already doing that would make it... Source: about 1 year ago

• Integrating leads with airtable.

  I use airtable as a arm and I would like for leads from a job board (thumbtack.com) to automatically link to my base. Anyone have experience creating a extension to do this? Source: over 1 year ago

• How to find a freelance personal trainer?

  There are a handful of reasonable virtual training options (Kickoff and CoPilot for example) FindYourTrainer.com, bark.com, and thumbtack.com all have ways to search for trainers near you that will come to you, also. Source: over 1 year ago

• Dad wants to be a real estate photographer

  Once he has some experience and a better portfolio, he can try getting some clients of his own. You can try using something like thumbtack.com or bark.com. Or he can contact some local realtors directly. Print up some promotional material and bring it to their offices. Source: almost 2 years ago
