Does anyone here have a Costco membership? Do you recommend it? My father-in-law keeps insisting we get one, but there’s only three of us and we don’t have a ton of room for storage. Would it make sense for us?

Oh yeah, I am obsessed. Do you have kids? I think it's especially worth it if you have kids. Best place to buy meats and canned goods, mac & cheese, frozen meals, etc. They also have great seasonal goods for like camping gear, and Christmas presents.

Thanks. Yes, ann18 month old

I love Costco. The membership is absolutely worth the price IMO. I get most of my groceries and household supplies (paper towels, TP, dishwasher pods, etc.) there. It's so much cheaper than going to Publix. And if you have any prescription meds, they're almost always cheaper at Costco's pharmacy. Not to mention the gas prices!!!

Thanks!

I have, and I really like it. It only makes sense if you go shopping frequently, have a large family, or eat a lot of the same things. I say that because everything comes in big bags or bigger sizes, so I don't think it makes sense to you. Can your in-laws buy things for you? I would use his card instead, hehe

A lot of people swear by Costco but I don't really feel like it's worth the cost of membership to me anymore. I used to love it, but with the prices of everything, I just can't shop there like I used to.

Working on a divorce where the father is claiming that he is unemployed because of the previous administration’s actions with DACA (he was brought to the States as a child). I know that the memo rescinding DACA was ultimately vacated—but OC is unsure whether this would count as voluntary unemployment for child support purposes. I believe it does as the application period to renew DACA benefits was reopened in 2020. Thoughts?

I used to be really bad about not prioritizing my prayer life. But now I pray & talk to God all the time. I’ve seen what prayer does-it can change the trajectory of your life. God tells us to make our prayers & petitions known to Him & to pray without ceasing. What happens when we pray is absolutely incredible.The Holy Spirit within us interprets our groans & our prayers to our advocate Jesus Christ who petitions God the Father on our behalf. The perfect triune God hears my prayers and yours!

Does anyone know if we can reimburse expenses for items listed in Wageworks while on maternity?

I know we cannot expense phone/internet/ commuter benefit as I am not actively doing work.

However, for other items that fall under wage works reimbursement, I couldn’t find anything in writing yet.

Working as a Business analyst in BFSI for last 10 years. ( Married, have a kid)
What should be the next step
Current options I thought-
1. Planning for a switch ( but ye shayad chalta rahega)
2. Planning for a good certification- did SAFE product owner and all but kuch khas nai hai
3. Planning for a PHD ( part time ) not sure, not clear may be a good option as I can move to education line.
What else guys
