      @DustinB3403 Good point... Let me change that and see.

      Seems that going from the Cyborg to Default and back 'fixed' it... for now.

      Will hae to see.

        Yeah I'd love generic gift cards. Makes for a great time, doesn't take a ton of effort to pick up, and will give the person exactly what they want.

        AKA cash

          I still don't have Christmas gifts for my brother and fiance. I have no idea what I'm going to do.

          $100 Visa gift cards.

          I have a strict, no giftcard policy. I just think its the least personal gift you can ever give someone

          Or most personal... gifts are one of those things that make very little economic sense. People often don't value what you give them as highly as you do, or as much as the item is worth. Gift cards have a static value that is the same for everyone.

          I don't see the point of converting a currency you can spend anywhere to a currency you can only spend in a few places max

          If you give them cash it get's spent on groceries or something less fun.

          The best gift is something the person really wants but would never buy for themselves. That is what I shoot for every year. I built Laura her own PC one year and got her a Chromebook the year before. She uses them every day and loves them.

          If the person isn't going to buy it for themselves then they don't value it as highly as you do. That being said I am forced to be hypocritical here. My wife generally has a no gift card rule for immediate friends and family.

          We do too. Exceptions for teens and only rarely there. Sometimes the adults do it but with stipulations like "this is for this exact thing but this is so you can verify that you are getting the right thing".

            I did that with her engagement ring. I gave her a 'placeholder ring' so we could shop together for the ring she truly wanted. She likes her placeholder ring and doesn't want another one. Again, very frugal.

              Laura is just super frugal. She lives a very modest lifestyle

              My wife is kinda like that. Mostly because she grew up in a very poor family.

              Heck, I think her family was a bit like the family in shameless, only with more shame than that family has.

                Her family is very financially minded. They'd go without everything to accrue money. I'm kind of moderate where I think you should have a good savings and retirement fund while also experiencing life--as much as possible anyway.

                  Well with a ring, there are two schools of thought - the one like yours, where you pick it out together, and the other where it's really a choice that's make entirely by the guy, showing that he knows his woman.

                          And at that point others can pay for your medical bills (like the kids and grandkids) so spend it all now.

                            Just found out that the heat was shut off at the house, so the house was 46 degrees when she got there! Now way are the pipes going to thaw if the air temperature is that low. Argh.

                              Roommate turned off the heat last night. Luckily the toilets didn't actually freeze up yet.

                                I still don't have Christmas gifts for my brother and fiance. I have no idea what I'm going to do.

                                $100 Visa gift cards.

                                I have a strict, no giftcard policy. I just think its the least personal gift you can ever give someone

                                Or most personal... gifts are one of those things that make very little economic sense. People often don't value what you give them as highly as you do, or as much as the item is worth. Gift cards have a static value that is the same for everyone.

                                I don't see the point of converting a currency you can spend anywhere to a currency you can only spend in a few places max

                                If you give them cash it get's spent on groceries or something less fun.

                                The best gift is something the person really wants but would never buy for themselves. That is what I shoot for every year. I built Laura her own PC one year and got her a Chromebook the year before. She uses them every day and loves them.

                                If the person isn't going to buy it for themselves then they don't value it as highly as you do. That being said I am forced to be hypocritical here. My wife generally has a no gift card rule for immediate friends and family.

                                Laura is just super frugal. She lives a very modest lifestyle

                                My wife is kinda like that. Mostly because she grew up in a very poor family.

                                Heck, I think her family was a bit like the family in shameless, only with more shame than that family has.

                                Her family is very financially minded. They'd go without everything to accrue money. I'm kind of moderate where I think you should have a good savings and retirement fund while also experiencing life--as much as possible anyway.

                                I'm with you - what's the point in retiring and having money - you'll be old and cripple... I want to enjoy live while I can. 🙂 Not all of use can be @scottalanmiller

                                And at that point others can pay for your medical bills (like the kids and grandkids) so spend it all now.

                                I think you can have both if you plan well. Of course, life can destroy even the best of plans sometimes.

                                    Roommate turned off the heat last night. Luckily the toilets didn't actually freeze up yet.

                                    uhmmm.. why?

                                      I hope you aren't implying that I was saying I don't save for retirement? I definitely do.. but not at the expense of having any fun while I'm here now.
