Does anyone else completely break their budget during the summer? After going over expenses I have found that I am buying way more ice cream and really splurging more than I should 😅 how do you effectively reign in the spend during the summer? (And this isn't even counting what I am spending on house projects lol)

I make sure our HD card has a zero balance before summer comes. I decided 2 weeks ago I was redoing the kitchen. I use their 12 mos same as cash to pay it off during the year and do most of the labor myself. We did splurge and are having a contractor do the counters. I don't splurge on food so that has never been ny issue but home projects are my absolute Achilles heel. My poor husband comes home from work every day trying to figure out what I've changed in the last 10 hours. 😆

I initially asked for 135k at my startup. They offered 115k and we ended at 125k. Within two weeks my manager left and everything shifted to me. I received praise for the work I did and to this day I still own all those responsibilities and some. We hired a backfill who has now decided to leave for cultural reasons, similar to my manager. I have been wanting to quit for sometime but wondering if this is a good opportunity to push for 20k more and leave in 4 months instead of next week.

A client developer group just told me they reached terms to “buy equity in a lease.” From what they’ve told me, if we were setting this up fresh, I’d do a new LLC and easily handle capital contributions, buy-sell, etc. in the new LLC agreement. However, here the partner had a long-term lease on the underlying RE that our group wants to develop as a concept. Lease assignment to new LLC is dicey, but I’m thinking maybe we set up a Mgmt services company to contract w/ the partner-tenant entity?
