Reply to comment by inatlq in LPT: If plan A of life doesn’t work out, remember that you at least have 25 more plans. Plans failing and life happening can feel like defeat, even “feel” like death. But remember you can always readjust and try something else. by inatlq

Sure, you want to think about it philosophically like that. But a lot of people simply dont have the options available to them. Ive gotta keep doing what im doing, theres no plan B. I cant go do something else. People who "fail" at something, well, basically they dont have any other choice but to move on to plan B. Plan A doesnt exist anymore.

Reply to comment by RascalRibs in LPT: don't listen to this advise I just read on twitter: If you’re married, there should be no such thing as “my” money or “your” money. It’s OUR money. If you are going to have a healthy and successful marriage, you have to be one in every area of your life… including your money. @DaveRamsey by Pippa_Lee

We’ve done something similar but also very different. We have kept our own accounts, but the money is very much ‘ours’ regardless of which account it’s in.

But we are privileged to not worry too much about money and both have a reasonably similar approach to money and value-for-money.

Reply to LPT: You can put a . anywhere* in a gmail address to make a new email that still goes to your inbox by Bomblord1

Wait, so my gmail address--the one I registered with--is firstname.lastname; does this mean that anything addressed to firstnamelastname (without the period) will still route to me? It must, right?

Eta: I appreciate all the useful info! For ages I've kept the same three active gmail accounts: one personal, one business/"official", and one for subscriptions, lists, throw-away sign-ups, etc. The lines are starting to blur, though; these tips will help reorganize. Thanks everyone.
