I’m looking for a different junior car seat for my 4-year-old. （ Since my child weighs 16 kg, I’m looking for one that comes with a seat belt ）. Do you know of any stores in the Torrance area where I can buy one for under $80? ？ I think the lowest price on Amazon is $79.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you. ！
Both WALMART ・ and Target had it for $80 in their physical stores.

Since the same item is $65 on WALMART's website, I'll look into why that is.

My AAA car insurance rates are going up every year and I'm looking for a better and cheaper policy.
I am a senior living in the SOUTH BAY with about 300 miles per month and have not had any accidents or violations in the last 3 years.

I heard from someone who worked for AAA about a technique to lower the cost of insurance. The low mileage （ proof needed ） thing you mentioned was the best.　I was set up with 3000 miles all along as told by the unfriendly BBA at the insurance company （ Mercury ） but I didn't want to talk to the BBA so I got a different agent and sent another agent a picture of my actual mileage of 4750 miles and a receipt with mileage for an oil change. I sent the receipt with the actual mileage of 4750 miles and oil change to another agent and got a much lower price.　Unfortunately, I did not get the money back that I kept paying for nothing.　It also depends on your Commuting and Pleasure settings for Primary Use of the Vehicle.　In case you are wondering, Costco is very inexpensive, but for several years now, they have not been able to accept new subscriptions for vehicles in the state of California.

I see ！ I can't get a new one in …

The same with the mileage ！ It's dishonest that it was set at 30000 miles. I remember agents usually asking me all kinds of questions to make it as low as possible.

I applied for Costco online, so I don't have an agent, but I had a bad experience with Farmers, and since then I have been avoiding Farmers. I need to review my insurance policy as well.

This is from a person who worked for AAA （ Mr. J ）. First of all, it seems that insurance premiums are quite high in the industry, and the reason for this is that they have to turn the money from the insureds to make their business viable. Since the company does not have much money, when an accident occurs, they try to avoid paying as much as possible. For example, they treat a car that would be expensive to repair as a total loss and charge less than the blue book ＞ Accidental cars are collected in large numbers somewhere in the desert and sold to used car dealers or sold for parts to pay for the next accidental car. I also asked about home insurance, but since the topic is car insurance, I'm not going to do that.

Hello ！ I am pregnant. ！
I have been researching insurance from the state of Hawaii for my pregnancy, but I haven't heard of anyone who has taken it,
so I would like to hear from older moms and everyone who is currently pregnant.
I would really appreciate it if you could tell me how and when the paperwork is issued, whether you retired or not, etc. … I would really appreciate it if you could tell me about it.

[TDI details below]
Temporary Disability Insurance （ Temporary Disability Insurance ： TDI

In Hawaii, non-occupational illness or injury （ pregnancy ・ including childbirth ） TDI （ Temporary Disability Insurance ） exists to supplement a portion of your wages if you are unable to work due to

pregnancy ・ for the period you are unable to work during childbirth, TDI may be available to receive a percentage of your wages for the period you are unable to work during childbirth.

However, there are some caveats ：
• TDI covers illness ・ injury ・ non-occupational disability, including pregnancy, while accidents at work ・ injuries, etc. are covered by workers' compensation （ workers ' compensation ） may be covered, and therefore treated differently. 
• TDI may not be covered if the employer does not offer the plan ／ and the requirements are not met. 
• TDI does not automatically provide employment security （ or the right to retain your job ）. In other words, there may be no institutional guarantee that you will always retain your former job after a leave of absence using TDI.

TDI Used.
My memory is fading, but before the birth, ask your employer to prepare the forms for you to submit. The subsidy is for 4 weeks for a normal delivery and 6 weeks for a cesarean section. The amount of the subsidy is better than nothing, and it is about 70% or 80% of one month's salary, I think ？. I remember that it was after the delivery, not during the pregnancy, but after the delivery.
The maternity leave system varies from company to company, so I think it would be a good idea to discuss things with the company.

I have grandchildren now, so this is a long time ago, but I used TDI because my pregnancy was not progressing well and I was unable to work. My husband also used TDI to take care of me. He and his wife both took a leave of absence until they used up their TDI, I retired at the end of my TDI, and my husband returned to his former job. It helped me during my pregnancy, but I had an emergency C-section, so it really helped to have my husband there after the birth.

I recently used TDI.
I have my employer, nurse and doctor fill out the form as well. The nurse told me that if I didn't work until 38 weeks, I should work until 38 weeks, even if I had to reduce my hours just in case, because there have been cases where I was turned down.
Of course, if you have an emergency delivery before then, you will be paid for 6-8 weeks from then on. After the birth, if there was a problem, it could have been extended further.
The amount depends on your income, but I believe the weekly limit was about $ 800.
I think you had to have been working in Hawaii for a few months before submitting the application, and you had to be working at least 20 hours per week.
If it is a large company with a large number of people, I think they may have their own benefits as well.

Please take care of yourself during your pregnancy.

Last week a friend of mine was in the exact same situation, he said he would buy it at Walmart for $58 and bring it back to Japan and sell it on Mercari. lol
He is also 2 years old and a booster seat is too small and illegal, so he still needs a car seat, and the cheapest car seat at Walmart is $ The cheapest car seat at Walmart was 57-58 ！ He said he could sell it for a lot of money in Japan and that he would take it home with him even though it would be luggage.

As a postscript,
If your husband lives alone in Hawaii, he will definitely need it when he comes back $ so I think it would be a good idea to buy it at Walmart at 58 and keep it.

Did you find someone who can lend you a car seat ？
$ I found one at Walmart It's a COSCO brand car seat, right? I bought a spare COSCO car seat for my child for when he/she is picked up in a friend's car, or vice versa, or when a friend is picked up in our car. It is lightweight, so I can pull my child by the hand with one hand and carry it with the other hand, and it is very convenient. You may need it when you come back to Hawaii in the future, so why don't you buy one for Hawaii and keep it in your husband's room?

How do you manage your money as a couple ？

We used to leave it solely to my husband.
I would like to clarify the holding of assets now, but I don't know what to say.
(When I had a fight with my husband the other day, he told me that the money was his ！ and I don't know what to say. There was some momentum from the fight, but my husband almost seemed to think that

Managing money as a couple
How do you all protect yourselves ？?

Uber Delivery is a service that allows you to, for example, go to the post office, pay for the postage and drop it off, or go to the library and check out a book.

I have been in LA for 2 years now, and the car I bought when I got there is now 2 years old, and I have driven it about 25,000 miles in 2 years, with 110,000 miles on it. I am thinking that I should do some maintenance like a Japanese car inspection. Do you know of any company that does inspections and maintenance like a Japanese car inspection?
I'm looking for an area around Torrance or Manhattan Beach. Thank you in advance.
