    I’m assuming they’re looking to buy after this condo sale. If that’s the case, they may not have much choice as their next place will be similarly insanely inflated, so they need that money to get the monthly payment to something affordable.

    That’s the position my partner and I are in. We have equity in our house, but it’s mostly because it has “appreciated” to a level that we could never afford, despite making a combined over quarter million dollars a year (due to living in a high cost of living area). Even if we sold our house at full inflated market price and used it all as a down payment, we’d be hard pressed to afford a place with the same price.

    It’s not that I’m complaining about the equity, it just doesn’t get me much when everything else is insanely inflated. We barely squeaked into the place we’re in because COVID tanked interest rates and prices in our area.








  • Hey fellow ADHD friend! I also had a similar experience. It’s really awful and scary, so I’m sorry you experienced it.

    My solution was simple: break each tab into quarters. After I got used to 5mg, 10mg ended up being the dose for me. It takes the edge off of ADHD but without making me feel like my soul had been scooped out with a melon baller.

    Of course, this assumes you aren’t on an SR/XL/XR formulation, just straight medikinet.


  • Back to the me/wife ADHD super combo: I want everything to be ultra organized and visibly and physically accessible. It’s how I cope with my disorganized brain.

    My wife organizes by letting things slip from her hands, seemingly at random, leaving them where they fall. When things start to pile up, she’ll neatly arrange them in a tight stack somewhere, regardless of the fact nothing in the stack is related nor does it all even belong in that room. I lovingly refer to these as her nests. She typically has no recollection of even making them.

    I’m looking at a new one in our closet rack: a travel pillow, some clothes, a gun cleaning kit, one shoe, an empty lockbox, and a small roll of bubble wrap.

    ADHD sucks.
