How to save money? I make 2600 a month after taxes, rent is 1650, and groceries are 350. Internet is 100, and phone is 75. Help me out here, feeling anxious.

(I am Canadian, phone and internet pricing is standard.) Boyfriend left, and said it was too expensive to live in an apartment, and moved back to his moms, so he can live rent free and save up to buy a house instead... Now I am alone, and left behind. I have 5k saved up, I am 26f, feeling anxious. I have been looking for a second job for about two years now, and my job is realistically unreliable since I work in manufacturing, and we've had a big layoff recently. Factories love to close on a short notice. I have no debt or anything, and I am good at managing money. I have no subscriptions, or unexpected costs like a vehicle. I walk 1hr to work at 5AM to save money, there is no transit. Feeling exhausted and so abandoned, I feel terrible, and my own father obviously isn't fond of the idea of me moving back to him to save money, since I am a whole ass adult LOL

What is this point of these live streams? Why are there so many of them in this exact style? Thanks. Some are just the same people with a bunch of accounts with the same livestream, I don't understand.

Are the over the laptop restraints on Leviathan always loose? Is it normal? It lifted up so much, and I was so scared during the drop and turns! I didn't want to tell an employee in case it was just normal, but I thought I was going to fall out LOL

Cost of vaccination/deworming/neutering a kitten in town? Some people have said 700-850 after taxes, but that cannot be right. Anyone have personal experience? Thanks! Found a kitten, and I want to take the little guy in, but he most likely has worms.

Thanks!

Just took my epipen because I felt my lip swell up when eating food... Turns out it was not a reaction, but a massive coldsore forming. Do I go to the hospital still? I am deathly allergic to shellfish and nuts, assumed the worst and acted too fast. :( Feeling the adrenaline, and also feeling stupid

Every apartment I have moved to has had cockroaches so far. Is that the new normal for apartment living? I talk to the neighbour's wherever I move, and majority say they have bedbugs as well. I haven't seen any in my apartment, but I have seen cockroaches in the hallways and laundry room...

Landlord will only treat the apartments who complain rather than treating the whole building. Is there a reason this is normal? I regret ever moving!! Constantly paranoid. I get my landlords to spray my apartment twice a year as a precaution, but this does not seem like the solution. If a building is infested, why not treat the whole place?

How do you stop your steel toed boots from stinking? I work 10hrs a day, and my shoes are wrapped in plastic booties the entire time. The smell coming off my shoes is ungodly after only a month of use. I work in a very hot environment with hazardous chemicals in full-body PPE.

We only get one pair of shoes a year, but I cannot handle the smell I get from my shoes. My feet smell terrible after work, and even after a good shower and a lot of scrubbing, they still smell a little. I am using athletes foot spray just in case, since everyone at work says they have gotten athletes foot from the trapped sweat during work, so I am trying to be proactive. I tried freezing my shoes for the whole weekend, and filled them with baking soda the whole time. Nothing is working!

I could usually push through the pain, and just endure it until sex was over, but after getting UTIs and yeast infections from the antibiotics, I feel like I cannot have sex anymore... It stings and hurts, and feel so insecure now. I cried last night when we were trying, but just the tip felt like being stabbed and burned so severely... I was shaking from the pain. I love my boyfriend, and I fear he will leave me or find another way to enjoy himself. For the past 4 months ive been doing anal daily instead to keep him happy, but I am so sore and can't keep doing that... :( He said he doesn't mind waiting, but I don't beleive him. I want sex so badly and I love him more than anything. I also have endometriosis, unsure if that makes the pain worse.

My old neighbours were a sweet old couple. Very quiet and respectable. I go to bed at 830PM and their child is awake until 12AM. Crying and screaming starts around 930PM and doesn't stop until she is asleep. I get up for work at 430AM and the parents are banging on the ceiling for me to be quieter, yelling that I woke their toddler up... I do not know what to do. It's only been a week. The parents are always fighting, or the toddler is screaming. Tantrums and crying every night. I wear ear plugs but I missed my alarm Monday. Thankfully made it to work on time, but there must be a way to keep that child quiet??? Melatonin??? Something? This is a seniors building, I do not know how they snuck a toddler in...

I think all of the UTIs, followed by yeast infections from antibiotics has caused my pelvic floor to get all weird... How can I find relief? Sex is extremely uncomfortable now, since I am expecting it to hurt every time, and I cannot relax my pelvic floor. :(

I can't live like this, it's horrible! I got off of visanne three weeks ago because of side effects, and it's the only thing I could think of that has caused the last two months of stinging and pain. :(

Any advice? This has only started the past three weeks, but it just doesn't stop. My mind is immediately wide awake when I wake up at 3AM, but when I am further into the work day, I hit a slump, and feel exhausted!

I wish side effects were appropriately talked about before doctors put you onto a medication. I have been in so much pain for months! Intimacy always led to a UTI the next day, and I have been taking a daily antibiotic as a preventitive, but it still wasn't enough. :(
