Joy Fithian 7/10/2021 6:26 PMMy bathroom has a leaky faucet AND the toilet recently started running non stop. I've been extra conscious about about tightening the sink handle and jiggling the toilet handle to prevent wasting water, but I finally contacted my apartment neighbor who's in charge of building maintenance and we scheduled a plumber for this monday.-
amy minato 7/12/2021 6:03 PMgood work getting on that Joy. Our shower leaks so until we can get it fixed we have put a bucket underneath and use the water to water our plants. -

Good practice to turn in a maintenance repair order sooner than later.

Joy Fithian 6/23/2021 7:04 PMWhen I reviewed my spending so far this month I noticed that I spent a lot more than usual, much of it ordered form amazon. For a week, I'm going to track all my purchases, hopefully this helps to slow down my consumption.-
Abby Strobel 6/26/2021 10:18 PMThis would be super interesting to look at, I used to spend a lot more money than I do now. My current spending tends to be on take-out food, I would be interested to track that spending and force myself to buy more groceries and make my food than go out for it. -
amy minato 6/26/2021 2:00 PMYes it is just sooo easy to click that button. I've been trying to write a list of what I think i need, then wait to try to buy it. often i decide i dont really need it after all. -
Lucia Wanzenried 6/23/2021 10:50 PMHi Joy, I rarely purchase online, but I can sense your valid concern in spending allocations. I'm in your corner taking on the challenge!
Years back, It took incremental effort to do similar, even tried a basic app that tracked several input categories - simply select and prioritize accordingly: Pie chart data. Salute! the commitment to start, and praise ones shift in personal spending behavior is progress.
