1.) I live in a suburb of Chicago. Weather is terrible, all our cars looks terrible most of the time but I still like to get my car washed regularly so that it looks good. Other unrelated fact: shopping centers are suffering. I live near Oak Brook mall and I would LOVE if a car wash service posted up in one of the parking garages. It feels archaic to have to go to some random car wash and just sit there and wait. I understand this probably does take place in certain areas of the US but not near me! I know there are also mobile car washes but not near me…especially in the winter. I would love to either be home or kill multiple birds with one stone in terms of my time. I know at some large corporate buildings, they do this in their parking garages but people are working onsite less so I could see more of a need for this. Plus, I would think the shopping malls would cut a deal on the real estate required because it would bring in more traffic. I would happily go to the mall and walk around (probably end up buying something) if this existed. Thoughts?
2.) I think there should be some type of app where people can anonymously upload their budget spreadsheets. You’d also need to fill in your annual household income. I think it would be incredibly helpful to look at other people’s budgets that have a similar household income as me. My husband and I argue about what our annual budget should be. We have SO much in savings (a lot a lot) and he constantly thinks we should be saving more. I think let’s enjoy life a little more. Quick background, when he grew up his house was foreclosed on so I think he operates from a place of fear and saving brings him SUCH comfort. So we have done a good job at that for a long time but, at a certain point, at what cost? I think it would be helpful to compare and understand spending statistics of other similar families. I also think people that are poor with savings could really learn from how other families do it. Thoughts?
