Hey, this is Allie, and thanks for listening to the show. Give us a five-star review where you listen, and share this episode with someone who might need to hear it. Now, enjoy the show.
Welcome back. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to another edition of DIY Money. DIY Money. A. Howard in the house.
What's up, Quinn? What's shaking with you? Well, I'm on the apartment hunt. Oh, yeah? I think we found the right one yesterday. Okay. It is brutal out here. When things get listed within like 12 hours. So, oh, I don't know if I told you this either. The girl that I talked about, Caroline, will be my new roommate, which I'm very excited about.
Very exciting.
We say, we're joking that she got evicted, but she lives with a girl who's getting married. And so she's getting kicked out of that house because the girl getting married owns the house. And so I'm adopting her into my home.
And so you're apartment hunting because you're going to go from a, did you have a one bedroom before? I don't even know what you had.
I had a two bedroom, but it wasn't very large.
So where are you looking? What vicinity? What's on your list? What are your non-negotiables?
Okay. First non-negotiable. And these are honestly in order of importance. Dishwasher.
Okay.
That is a non-negotiable for me.
Are those not in every apartment these days?
No. Wow. They're not.
Really?
But I've always said, I don't remember if I learned this from someone or just said it at some point, but you can either get a dishwasher or you are the dishwasher. And I'm not the dishwasher. I hate washing dishes. Okay. That's number one. Number two, backyard. We all saw that coming. Some sort of place to put a fire pit.
Oh.
And honestly, other than that, pretty flexible.
Wow. Dishwasher and fire pit. There you go.
Oh, man. The building is on fire. But we found a really cute place last night. We're going to send the text today, I think, and be like, okay, we're in. Let us know if it's still available. Well, congratulations. Yeah, it'll be great. It's stressful to move, but no problem.
How do the hosts describe current personal stories and life updates before the main topic?
Housekeeping Odds and Ends, this show brought to you by Jewel Financial. Visit us on the web, joulefinancial.com, and our other fine sponsors. Also, check us out on social, DIY Money Podcast. That's DIY Money Podcast. And keep sending the questions. The audio questions are fantastic. And let's face it, we're rolling into the end of the year. You need that $25 Amazon gift card because you're going to be buying all those Christmas gifts. So if you've been a little bit behind on your holiday savings, what a great opportunity. Get a kid in your household to send one in. Get your uncle down the street to send one in. Bam, 75 bones right there for your Amazon Prime shopping. And I don't know when Prime Day is now or Prime Week or Prime Month or whatever the heck is.
By the way, the funny story is I just watched. I have Prime. and I have Prime Video, and I got sucked into, they're now embedding Apple TV shows in Prime, and they often give you like one episode to watch, which I love, and that's perfect for me, because if they don't grab me in the first episode, I'm out. So I watched a show called Stick, okay? Owen Wilson, he's this golfer. It was phenomenal, all right? Now, I had to sign up for Apple TV. $9.99, seven day, pshh. That show I watched in like two and a half days. Gone. Boom. I knew I would. It would be done. Sit down on the couch. Two a night. Maybe it was a week. I don't know. But it was well within the seven days. So I set a reminder. Cancel the Apple TV. So I get on my phone.
Log into Amazon Prime. Go through the steps. You know what they say? Can't do it on the phone. Got to do it on your browser. No problem. Send myself an email reminder. So in the morning, first thing I do is check my email, cancel. Okay, I do, right? Sign in. Oh, you got to do the... I can buy something from Amazon. Signing in with a password I haven't used in 30 years. They remember me because of whatever on some computer at the library. One button click and it's at my house tomorrow. But when I want to cancel a subscription, multi-factor authentication.
