Should I buy a snoo for my upcoming first child?

For that kind of cash I'd rather buy a nice leather recliner and just let the baby fall asleep on my chest. At least then I'd still have the recliner when the baby gets older.

900$ all in for snoo right now on sale

Resell for 600

300 for 6 months = 50 bucks a month.. 2 hours of extra sleep per night

Easy decision .. if it works I’ll keep, if not it will be returned

OMG I had no idea what a snoo was until I just looked it up. Why would anyone spend $1300 on something like that when you can just get a Graco pack and play for less than $100? They do mb the same thing.

Nope. SNOO is barely similar to pack n play

Meh, to me it's just another gadget. My son was sleeping for 8 straight hours by the time he was 3 months old, and we didn't have any of this fancy stuff.

SNOO is amazing. Wait until holidays and it goes on sale for $750. You and your SO will be thankful at 3am after you’ve fed your baby that you can put the baby straight to bed.

YES. Loved it. Daughter sleeps like a champ. Resold it after 6mo for $500.

Was she able to sleep okay after it was gone?

Yup transition was super easy. Kept the white noise and snoo sack for a bit

Each kid is different, try a week or two without it the re-evaluate?

Yes

We just used a dock a tot and a hatch white noise machine. Worked well.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I never used any of this junk for babies to sleep. They were just put down to sleep and for the most part they did.

I did the same thing for all four of my kids, and never had any issues. The only white noise my kids ever heard was me vacuuming right next to their crib while they slept.

So what is the difference between a $1300 snoo and a $100 pack and play that can be used for newborns and older (with the adjustable height of the sleep pad)? I just don't see it.

Rocking wasn’t needed as much but just had a hatch and you can create your own program and adjust sound level so if they started crying I would just raise it. A bit more manual but worked for us.

The snoo is 845 right now— apparently it shakes in various levels of frequency depending on the babies cry’s.. the intent is to replace a night nurse

Can’t seem to find it for under $1200. Where do you guys find it for below $900?

They had a sale that ended inholloween for 35% off..before that it was 40% off which I missed

I stopped contributing to my 401K for the last three months in order to pay off credit card debt. I am 28 and have about 68K in my 401K. Was this a smart decision? I want to get out of debt as quickly as possible and I have no student loans or car debt.

Are there any debt consolidation options for a professional family man with a decent credit score, who's let high interest credit card debt get out of hand? I get the mailers that entice with a low advertised rate, and then the offer comes back at something slightly less than what I am already paying. I am thinking something along the lines of a bank that I can talk to, and explain exactly where the money is going, not being apposed to a direct deposit to the card companies themselves.

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

Is the government yet to credit the interest amounts of our PF balances? Or is something wrong with my PF account only?

Any inputs will be really appreciated 🙂

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.
