I bought a 3000w Portable Power Station with 400 W of Solar panels from lions energy. and I was really happy about that it would be a great benefit for camping and good power backup for the house.

But then maybe on account of it being Mercury RX my transmission went out on my camper van, So I'm thinking I maybe I should take it back, to help cover the cost of the new transmission. And I'm also thinking about just selling my camper van and moving back to Texas because California is too expensive, and Texas is no place to camp. but then its prob gonna cost like 10k just to move back to TX.

Did you know it cost us about an extra $ 1000 a month just in taxes and electricity to live in CA vs TX. that doesn't even consider the cost of housing or gas. My electricity bill the last two months have been over 1k, and my ac doesn't go below 78 degrees. It feels like these fuckers are just stealing my money at this point.

books are always a good investment 😌 cuz knowledge is something no one can take away from you. investing in high quality sleep is sooo important lol most people spend like 7-8 hours out of every 24 hours on their beds sleeping. multiply that by 365 and that’s 2555-2920 hours a year lol which is a good chunk of one’s life 😂lol investing in a good night’s sleep is a must 😌 for health reasons as well

we’re shopping for a house here in japan right now and we’ve been going to see many realtors, touring/viewing model homes etc

but at the same time we’re like “do we really wanna buy a house in a country known for its mega earthquakes and monster tsunamis? 😂”

so we’re being super careful about the location of our house but i don’t think anywhere in japan is safe though 😂 the whole country is basically a ticking time bomb 😅 lol

i just wanna buy a house that’s already done/built but my spouse wants to have it built from scratch cuz he hates not knowing what previous owners did inside the house/what went on inside the house. he says he doesn’t want a house where someone died or committed suicide or had many fights in because that’s bad energy lol 😂 he’s big on energy/vibes lol 😂

The electricity bill thing isn't normal. Everyone has a story about thier bill recently. People never home getting very big bills. Something suspicious is going on.

Coffee machine! Love love love it.

i gotta stop being lazy and start making my own coffee with a good coffee machine too. i spend so much money at starbucks that it’s almost disrespectful to myself 😂

Honestly I got the tiniest one and it's been such a good investment (it was on sale so it was a no brainer) got the Nespresso original one super light and cute and does the job. If you drink coffee daily I encourage you to get it.

Sounds good 👍😊

nice i hear you can even make chai tea lattes and hot chocolate with the nespresso machine

my uncle had the dolce gusto? (similar to nespresso) and he made me matcha green tea latte with it a couple times. it tasted just as good as store-bought ones. these home coffee machines are legit AF 😂 i also really like the sound the machine makes when the coffee is pouring into the cup lol it’s so calming.

i bet you’re more excited to get up in the morning now that you have a nice coffee machine lol 😂

i know i would be lol 😂

right now we just drink tea in the morning and sometimes make smoothies with the blender if we’re feeling up to it. not as potent or satisfying as caffeine though 😅 lol

Yep it made life much much easier especially because I hated the feeling after instant coffee and any alternative would take forever to make.

Now unfortunately, I'm cutting caffeine but bought the decaf coffee pods and they're still pretty good.

You should totally keep an eye on Nesspresso's marketing letters they have the most random sales it will be a much easier decision and you will not regret it!

yes! those powdered instant coffee actually makes you feel so sluggish after you drink it. must be all the harmful additives in there. 😅 can’t wait to get my own nespresso. i’m already checking out their official website and also amazon lol

a magical cooking bowl/pot called "donabe"

if you like soups and stews, this is a must have

it is shaped in such a way that it retains heat way longer than regular bowls, so you can get that restaurant-hot-max-tasty quality to your food at home

super simple and easy, cook everything in it, eat out of it, and have only 1 thing to wash

i also like getting take out soups like pho and heating it up at home, it's like the same as eating out

it's on amazon for like $ 70

I just bought some new trainers. I like them, but I don't quite like them, if that makes sense. I looked at other options but I kept being drawn back to these, annoyingly so as there's a few things that I don't quite like. Anyway the pressing intuition wouldn't leave me alone so I purchased them. I just know they're gonna be a good purchase. Oh the joys of having water placements.
