Good stuff
Love the gear I got for my twins.

Love my stroller. Great deal and great service.

Stocked my home for visits from the grandkids.
Quick response
Ordered a gate prior to this one, UPS lost it on route. I reached out to Kidsy via email and they secured a refund from UPS. Was hesitant to order again, but I couldn't find the gate at a more reasonable price. 2nd order arrived with no issues. Gate is sturdy and the dog (Husky) hasn't gotten through it (he's an escape artist). Quick delivery from start to finish.
Worth it
Got a like-new monitor for under $50.

I appreciated the detailed description
I appreciated the detailed description, I knew I was getting a floor model and it came in perfect shape at a much reduced cost. When I thought the cupholders weren't included, I reached out to them and then we found them and they were very responsive and thankful that I let them know. Everything is fine.

Kidsy Customer Service Review
Kidsy had a great selection of deeply discounted baby gates. Unfortunately, there was a piece missing when I received my package. I didn't realize it until after the 14 day return/exchange window. But I reached out, and they were willing to send me the piece anyway at no extra charge. I really appreciated the customer service.

Great, trustworthy experience
Great deals, easy checkout with lots of payment options, shipped very quickly, and everything was packed well and looked exactly as it was described! I didn't end up needing any intervention with my shipping experience but appreciate the option to cover lost packages for a minimal fee, especially as we get into the late and lost package holiday season. I'll definitely be getting more of my baby gear from Kidsy.

Source Threads
Reader finds 'The Psychology of Money' life-changing and discusses key concepts
"Just finished 'The Psychology of Money'. I really liked his concept of 'saving is just another form of spending - you are buying future time.' He also highlights how wealth is what you don't see, and spending to impress others is a trap."
fatFIRE critique: 'The Art of Spending Money' seen as rehash
"It's a solid 'meh' from me. I love Morgan Housel, but this book is basically a rehash of The Psychology of Money with some blog posts mixed in. If you've read the first book, you've read 80% of this one."
Bogleheads weigh in on reading order and value of Housel's books
"IMO read Psychology of Money first. It's brilliant. The Art of Spending Money is good, but it's an 8/10 whereas Psychology is a 10/10. It's also shorter and more narrowly focused."
Reader highlights 'Wide Funnel, Tight Filter' concept from the book
"The book introduced me to the 'Wide Funnel, Tight Filter' approach to spending—try lots of things, then cut what doesn't bring joy. It's framework I've applied to hobbies and investing."
Indian reader asks if the book is worth it; replies suggest mixed feelings
"It's a light read. Not as deep as Psychology of Money but enjoyable. If you've read his blog, you won't find much new."
