• Any recommended fairly easy to learn design/architectural software to play around with different designs for my house (mostly exterior/facade?)

  However planner5d also looks slick. Source: 7 months ago

• Am I nuts for wanting to change this carpet?

  Don't rush. Redesign your space in 3d and see how it goes from there. I like your current rug. Source: 7 months ago

  I came across https://planner5d.com/. It's pretty neat but doesn't have options that I really need. Source: 12 months ago

• First time living alone, the space feels… depressing

  Dude, go to https://planner5d.com/ and just design your space. This shit saved me so much time and money. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any free / cheap softwares that I can use to draw up my new build? Am a visual person so need to see the space for planning purposes.

• Is $250 a month in disposable income livable for a family of 3?

  You'll be going into a tight budget time, so get a really good system in place. If you don't have that you love already, I recommend YNAB (youneedabudget.com). It's envelope based and is really good for planning ahead for irregular expenses and for "rolling with the punches" if something comes up.

• LPT Request: What is your favorite life hack that has saved you money, time, or made your day-to-day activities easier?

  I also said in a comment below, I use YNAB to track my financial life.

• Fund future vacations

• Tracking savings goals

  Track it by hand or in software. I started out with just a spreadsheet, but since then moved my whole budget to YNAB (youneedabudget.com), where you track all your individual savings goals as well as how your money will be used to cover regular (and irregular) expenses. Now the whole plan is in one place, and covers everything from how much is set aside for gardening supplies for this summer to the big... Source: about 1 year ago

  Aside from all the other advice, get a subscription to YNAB (youneedabudget.com) and start using it religiously. It will help prevent any backsliding and will put you in a much better financial situation going forward. Source: about 1 year ago
