Cut all the streaming services and cable and living better.

As text says. I’m currently on free antena TV and it’s way better. I’m saving lots of money doing it. I also use YouTube a lot on my phone. I have free hbo max through my cell service but don’t use it.

I don’t even have WiFi in my house so I’m not on any streaming services. I also watch alot of dvd movies I had. But i rarely see tv as I’m always working. What are some reasons you don’t you cut your streaming services?

Good live security camera over WiFi.

For a small house want to get front door and back and possibly 4 corners.

How’s the monthly fee? I know people who have live feed on their phone. Any recommendations thanks.

How can i give up my voucher?

Lived my whole life on section 8. Public housing as a grown person because of my income I’m paying the same thing I’d be as paying a mortgage. I still live with my mom, but as a grown adult I’m fully capable of working a full time job and I know im better off renting a room for 600 bucks than paying 2k+ for technically only renting a room with my parents through section 8. (Only my income counts and I’m the one who pays the whole rent)

Yes I could of used section 8 when I was younger but ever since I been 18 I’ve been working and instead of my rent going down it keeps getting higher every renewal. And stressful having to send in all my info, when I get layed of work for couple months due to it being low I still get charged full rent as if I were working.

I don’t like to sit around and do nothing so I won’t pay rent. I always liked to work I like to be active I like to have money in my bank account and Wallet. My neighbors tell me not to work or to work the bare minimum so I’d only pay like 50 dlls of rent. I refuse to. I like to work get payed have money saved up. And with section 8 it’s feels as a hostile situation and I’m paranoid all the time not wanting to get a raise or overtime because my rent will increase another 400 dollars.

How much rent are you paying for a room?

How much are you paying for a room rental in Portland? Average I’ve seen are 650-900 in Portland metro. Some already include utilities other are separate. (Buddy of mine rents me a room 800 everything included no deposit..vs 1200 what I’m paying now for a room) any ideas appreciated thanks.

Also came with another idea. Would it be better to finance a 15-25k rv and rent a parking spot at 1,000? (As everyone else, also looking for cheaper options tired of paying a landlord 2k+)

My truck has a gvw of 105,000 can I haul more than 80,000?

If the limit is 80,000 in the usa, my company trucks have a gvw of 105,000. three axles. Drop down as well. Does my company have permits for this? Did they just throw a random weight sticker on the side of the door?

Will I get in trouble if I get pulled over or through a weight station and they see I weight 100,000?

Can you rate my plan/thoughts?

Moving out of parents house as paying way to much for rent and moving into a car. I have a good job & two payed funcional cars. Long story short I traveled to third world countries and slept in the worst places you can imagine. So here just having a roof (car) it’ll more than enough luxury and safety I need. I’m not poor just would like to save more money for a down payment of a house. so this will be as a adventure till I can handle it. If I can’t I’ll just get me a apartment with roommates.(I applied multiple apartments got approved even got approved for a house loan,but want to save more money to be on the safe side)

-I would rent a mini storage unit to keep the stuff I have in my small room.& just keep the minimal stuff with me on my car.

  • my work give us uniforms & they wash it for us. So I can just reuse that. & if i do use regular clothes my job requires 0 dirtiness so I can wash once every two weeks

-I’m thinking of paying a lady to cook/throw me lunch weekly. So technically what I payed for food in a house I’d still pay it to a lady and she will cook for me daily.

-for sleeping during workdays I can stay near my workplace or stay near the lady who will cook for me. As we known each other for years once I’m done eating I can hop in my car and chill and sleep and I can use the bathroom shower there as well.i was also thinking at truck stops.

-for showering I was thinking a truck stop, at my work I can fill a bucket with hose water and they have a shower but no running water. (That’s were the bucket with water will come in.) (as I mention I been to third world countries so I showered with the worst water possible.) I can also shower at a friends house just rotate it once a week. (Shower every Wednesday just rotate with diffrient friends.) Or I can simply get a hotel for a night

-For electronics I’m not worried as I charged my stuff in my work and can charge them in my car(the most electronic I use is my cellphone)

I been to a 3rd world country and lived in a way worst situation than this. So this to me is more than enough luxury.

Any advice is appreciated thank you

Those who live in car to save money, do you have a storage unit, parking lot etc?

So I’m in a spot that I’m not poor but I rather live in my car to save rent money. And see that 1k+ in my bank account rather than a manager.

How many of you rent a storage unit and is it better than having everything cramped in your car and driving with it everywhere? How much are you paying? Those with multiple cars are you renting a monthly spot?

In the long run is it better and cheaper than paying rent? Any advice is appreciated thanks.

Living in car to save money?

Rent is ridiculously expensive in my area. I’m not in high dept nor dirt poor. I have a good job but rent is killing me. 40% of my monthly pay goes to rent. I would like to save some money.

Im a single male so I can manage living in a car. I slept in way worst conditions. I travel to diffrient countrys every so often and even living in a car in the usa is a huge luxury coming where I’m from. I can shower twice a week possibly at a truck stop or gym. I can eat once a day. In not scared of pulling over at a empty parking lot to sleep. I’ve brushed my teeth with half of a bottle of water. I have gone number two in the woods,I’ve slept in the opening in dirt or concrete with no blankets pillows etc. with all types of bugs rodents etc I’m not scared of sleeping anywhere as I’ve slept in way worst places.(third world countries in the opening)

I have a fully functional payed off car. I was thinking parking next to my work to sleep and possibly using their bathroom only for number two when I’m off the clock. Showering isint a huge concern for me as I can pay 20 bucks twice a week at a truck stop. Food I can eat “lunch” at work and call it good for the day. (I’m a light eater once is enough for me)

About the winter I can also manage it just keep lots of blankets with me and I’m not picky nor sensitive about anything. I can always make out work out.

With what I told you what do you think about me?

Forgot to mention. I also don’t need a tv nor bed to sleep on. I’ve been without cell service for 6+ months or any connection to the world(when I was in a diff country). So even having a cell phone with data is a huge plus already.

Should I become houseless?

Looking to save, 1500 is going towards rent. I can’t save that way. Should I live in my car? Fully functional and payed off. How hard is it? I have a good job but also in current debt and want to buy a house but 1,500+ food utilities don’t help. Maybe 6 months then get a room? Then a apartment.

Whose who went this route what are upsides and downsides?

Im a single male and dont get dirty so maybe wash clothes ones a week and shower twice a week at a gym or truck stop.

Cheapest room is 700 in my area that’ll be an extra 600 saved in my name. But thinking of doing this 6 months minimum to save.

Any advise thanks. (I have a good job I just want to pay off debt and save for a house so I won’t be homeless just houseless for the meantime)

How to be even with irs with two jobs. (Not owe or get anything back end of year)

Pretty much title says it all. I want to get a second job but scared I might get taxed all year long and at the end of the year get “fined” as well(pay them back).

What’s the method to be even with irs and get nothing back and not owe them anything.( I’m fine with them taking out per check what they have to throught the year, but I don’t want to pay a huge fine as well at the end of the year) Or is there a limit of money a person can make a year and after that they have to pay back money?

Single person,0 dependents.

I heard that if I put 0 dependents on all my irs “tax” pages I should be fine with that?

Is paying in credit card a better rate than exchanging usd to pesos?

In pv for vacation. Have a quick question pretty much as title says.

I payed for something that cost 5,000 and my bank charged me 286 on credit card. Which if I’m doing math correct it equals to 17.48.

If I send to my self via a app and withdraw at the teller it’s currently 16.80mxn to 1 usd.

Any one had issues with a bigger carry on than the limit?

I have a 25 inch duffle bag and it’s fully packed. I can lift it and carry it no problem. Will there be a issue at Alaska if I use it as a carry one and put it up in the cabin? It honestly is kinda heavy and looked packed,but I can manage it. I read online that as long as you can manage it you should be fine. Looking at it kinda seems at it might even be consider a “checked bag”. What’s the worst that can happend? Will I get kicked off the plane? Will I get charged?

Has anyone carried anything bigger than the requirements with success? Thanks everyone

Difference between mist and perfumes?

(Im a guy.)I want to buy my gf a “perfume”. in my head mist was the same thing as a perfume. As it also smelled good. What’s the difference? I see mist are cheaper than perfumes.

Would you think she will mind if I get her perfume or mists with body lotion pair? (I prefer getting her 10 ish mist/lotion pair than 1 perfume by itself for the same price)

What is more romantic, more special? Buying my gf a perfume or mist with lotion pair? What products do you recommend from Victoria’s Secret at the moment that is a good deal?

Thanks everyone

Has anyone had issues with copying multiple songs at once?

Happend to me I think once or twice years ago. When I moved multiple albums to my iPhone 500+ songs a couple songs would not sync fully. Some would cut half off. Some would be synced with another one. Etc. has anyone had this issue? ( I was also using a crappy computer at the time that would freeze alot) got a newer computer now only dedicated to iTunes and music ( I now have an using a brand new cable with a new iPhone i just bought and my computer is not the newest but newerish)

Any way to test out to see if they fully synced correctly?

Has anyone gotten second premolar removed instead of first ones?

I got 4 extractions. 2 on top 2 on bottom.

On top I got the first premolar removed and on the bottom I got the second premolar removed.(which is bigger than the first premolar) any idea why my ortho said to remove the second one instead of first one?(mostly everywhere I seen, people get the first premolar removed)

My teeth are aligning real nice and I’m liking everything so far just curious on why they took bigger premolar out vs the smaller ones. Thanks
