I do the exact same thing.

I actually have it set to automatically turn my alarms on each workweek evening (apple shortcuts>automations). Set it and forget it!

I got a cheap $25 fitness tracker because it has a vibrating alarm that wakes me up without disturbing anyone else. I'm also thinking about getting a pair of Bose's sleep earbuds for a similar purpose

I do 5 minute intervals 😂

I also sleep on the floor when I go to sleep really late and I fear I won’t wake up on time. Being uncomfortable helps 😂

Mine are more like 5-10 min increments a few times.

Omg I do the same, I have 100+ alarms because I never delete the list 😅

I have an alarm in my phone for every 5 minutes of the day. At some point the past decade, I had to wake up at every hour of the day, so I added several 5 min interval alarms prior to that time

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out

I'm starting to realize that a lot of my life problems are from me trying to treat my depression with alcohol. This is the most sober I've been in a long time and generally I feel a lot better but it would be so easy to get drunk. Physically the consequences are what are keeping me from doing it. It makes me feel really good though and I miss the high, I am grateful that I can resist it now but at least temporarily it was a cure that worked it made me feel accepted and whole.
