Buying 1st Home - Budget Advice?

Hi all! I'm 35, have been a single Mom since I was 25. I have two kids 10, and 13. I'm buying our first home, a 3 bedroom condo and we recently adopted a dog from the shelter we've been volunteering at.

I need advice on being more frugal. Budgeting tips, shopping, couponing, anything that can help me stretch my budget and maintain a savings.

Thank you for your advice and time!

Pre-Drywall Inspection Advice

I'm in the process of buying a new home and was invited to the pre-drywall inspection. Went to the site today to check it out before the inspection, does any of this look concerning? What should I be asking and doing?

Had to move these painted rocks closer together to make beautiful music

Walked along one of my favorite trails and these rocks were living too far away from eachother. Had to move them close, so we can all hear the sweet sweet music they might produce.

Remember Gary?

Hey guys! Remember my missed connection post from earlier this year, looking for Gary, the 42-year-old maintenance man that I met at a Lespecial show?

We'd both gone to the show alone, I complimented his residents shirt in line, and we ended up hanging out together the whole show.

My Birthday, and our stop along the Claypool Gold tour are coming up... I'd love for him to ask for my number this time. If nothing happens, 3 months is long enough to be hung up on the guy. I'll post an update after the show. Good vibes are welcome 🤘

NIN painted rock find!

We found this painted NIN rock while my daughter was wearing her NIN hoodie. No backwards N on the rock, but we forgive them! Such a cool find, esepcially for our area because it's super rare to find NIN fans out in the wild in this heavily religious state.

72862 Demo 🔥

Forget how good this demo is sometimes. Then it shows up in my rotation to remind me of its greatness.

Raising a NIN fan

My son came with me to NIN back in March. Previously he was a super casual listener, only listening when I would play. Now, since the concert, he's been playing NIN unprompted and unprovoked! I'm so proud 🌈😁
