My wife has been on wegovy for about 3 months now, which is supposed to be similar. It's ok, I guess. Still ramping up to the full amount and there was one week of really bad digestion issues, but the rest has been fine. She feels full way quicker, and if you go over that amount, you start to feel nauseous, so you stop. Problem is she hasn't really done much else to help it. Still eating the same and hasn't introduced more exercising to help. So far, loss is around 15 lbs, but it's kind of sitting steady around this for a bit now.
I agree, but im assuming releasing a new system with newer hardware already kicks costs up. To the point that most (all?) new systems sell at a loss. So I would imagine the reason behind it is they already have it at the highest price point they can get away with so cutting corners any way they can to bring costs down for them at the start is priority #1. Then in a few years when that hardware costs less they will release an oled version with hopes that the price increase they ask for it will be just enough to cover the difference of profit ratio they are looking for.
Funny enough, I had the complete opposite experience. I didn’t necessarily use Samsung then either, but I would get the phone that was normally rated the best or highly reviewed. I think i came from an LG to the first pixel phone. Pixel was the first phone to ever give me issues. Felt it vibrate one day in my pocket and I looked at it a few min later and it was in permanent boot loop. Tried a lot of things, but my one regret was forgetting to turn on developer options with the usb so essentially the phone was bricked. I couldn't access it or do anything, everytbing was lost and support was no help and told me they couldn't replace it. Last time I used them. I also wasn't a fan of how hard they tried copying an iPhone at the time. Since them I've mostly used a Samsung either the Note and now the higher end galaxies and love them. Only thing I dislike is their own line of apps for everything that I disable immediately.
I agree, but don't forget that every year, things get harder because everything is trying to find more ways to take that extra money from you. From schools, companies, and government they are all figuring out ways to come up with new mandatory requirements for stuff that normally ends up being a new fee or payment on top of what you used to need. For example when you are in school, you probably need way more certifications in things which costs more money either by a 1 time fee or sometimes yearly fees and a lot of this never existed 20-30 years ago. I feel like we pay for literally everything, and it all keeps going up as well. It's hard to get ahead when everyone wants a piece of your pie.
My wife has that option as well. It takes 10% out of each paycheck, and she gets 1 additional check in the summer months of the money that was withheld. We are terrible with money, so doing that is a must, but I do wish we could just set that up ourselves instead of allowing them to hold that money.
It's true, but not always fun or paid. Depends on the contract. A non tenured teacher can be let go at the end of the school year, and they normally let them know if they are coming back before leaving for the summer. They are then allowed to collect unemployment for the summer, but i am not sure if this applies to every state. If you are tenured, you do not lose unemployment status, but you are also not paid for the summer months either. You either set aside the money from the year yourself or use the program they offer that takes 10% out of each paycheck, and they deposit it once per month you are off.
I keep reminding my wife about the schools. The town we picked is not considered good by any means for schooling, but I always say the worst here is still better than elsewhere! We have had a few years experience now that our kid is in them and outside a few things that were noticeable (my wife is a teacher) they didnt seem as bad as the rating makes them seem.
We all live in NJ, so I can't agree with your statement, haha. It may not be bad to most states, but from what I see, NC is about 1-3k for property taxes? For us anywhere in the state, the middle class is going to start at around 6k and quickly rise to 14k a year if not more. I say 6k, but I don't even know anywhere close to my area that doesn't start at 9-11k. Mine is higher than that and trust me we live in an average, not even updated, middle class place in a town most people don't want to live because it was the cheapest within an hour drive, which we did not want to deal with going to work everyday.
What are you going to do after all this is over, and it's either even harder to get or just completely gone? Im sorry you have to go through any of this...
My cousin moved down there a few years ago, and a lot of my family talk about how they want to because its so cheap. I guess if you enjoy your local government to be non-existent and allow things like this to even take place, then I guess it's a wonderful place to live! Enjoy your low taxes, you get what you pay for.
