The current car I have now I’ve had since high school and don’t have a car payment on but it’s starting to get towards the end of its lifecycle. I’m looking to buy my first car on my own but would like some advice on how much I should put down or advice on loans/monthly payments.

I would prefer something with AWD maybe a Subaru? The trouble is idk what mileage would be good to purchase a Subaru at. I really don’t want to buy a car that’s valued at more than like $25,000 because then the monthly payments will just be very high. I have about $50k in savings and don’t mind putting $10-15k down on top of whatever trade in trade in value I get for my current car. I just really don’t want a high monthly payment. My parents are pressuring me to buy a new car so that I don’t have to spend more money in repairs but I really don’t want to be paying high monthly payments on a $30k+ car.

I’m 25 and currently live in the Midwest working in accounting but lately I have been thinking about applying for Canadian citizenship through my grandmother who was a Canadian citizen. I’m still undecided if I would want to move to Canada mainly due to being further away from family, but I think if it means having a more fulfilling future then it makes sense to do it while I’m still young. I’m curious for those that moved how has your life improved? Are there any improvements that you didn’t expect? Also which province did you move to? The provinces that interest me the most are BC, AB, ON, and NS.

Thank you!:)

I know this probably sounds crazy but I think this is almost a representation of how bad my social anxiety has become. Like in my day to day life I feel like it’s so much easier to cope with my anxiety when coworkers or my boss etc. treat me poorly or just ignore me. There’s no expectations at that point to be social with them or try to get them to like you.

I feel like every time someone does something nice for me it completely fucks with my brain. I view myself so negatively and think that people are constantly judging me, that when someone actually goes out of their way to be nice to me I instantly think something is wrong. Like my mind immediately jumps to “how long before I let this person down?” or I feel like I’m obliged to try to reciprocate the kindness and energy towards them and if I don’t they will think I’m an asshole and ungrateful.

Like why not just go smoke outside or in your car, at the very least open a goddamn window and blow the smoke outside. I woke up this morning at 6 am to my apartment smelling like weed and the whole floor I live on reeked. Like you’re getting baked at 6 am on a Wednesday??! I swear some people have no fucking consideration for others and are too self absorbed to realize their neighbors don’t want to smell their stinky ass weed.

I’m 25 and am an extremely introverted person and lately have been struggling with some loneliness issues. I have an in person job where I talk to my coworkers everyday and be social, which is more than enough interaction for me to come home and be more than satisfied alone in my quiet apartment for the rest of the night. It’s the weekends however where I start to feel extremely lonely. I usually go visit my parents for a few hours but beyond that I really don’t do anything all weekend except watch anime and play video games. Every Friday I hear my coworkers talk about their weekend plans they’re making with their friends and I just feel like a bit of a loser.

A few years ago I never had this issue in college. I had a friend group and a girlfriend. I was so busy all the time hanging out and going places that I feel like I didn’t have enough alone time.

It weird because even though I feel this loneliness the thought of trying to start new friendships or dating feels incredibly daunting to me and I have extreme social anxiety about it. So even though I feel lonely I feel content with it in a way. Anyone else feel this way?

I’m 25 and have lived in a smallish city in Ohio for my whole life. Up until about 6 months ago I had always lived with my parents too. Getting my own apartment has been a massive step for me and I feel great that I’m more independent now but I still don’t feel that happy. I feel like there’s not much left for me in my hometown except for my parents and that’s the only thing keeping me here.

Originally I wanted to move to the west coast after college but about 6 months after graduation my mom started to have a lot of health problems and they found blood clots and basically told us that she would probably have to have a heart operation at some point. This scared me a lot and made me realize for the first time that my parents are only getting older and won’t be around forever. This heavily deterred me from wanting to move away and so I’ve stayed put in my hometown ever since.

However still I have this constant thought that I want to move, and have been strongly thinking about trying to move to the Seattle area. I’m so torn though because my parents will no longer have any of their kids nearby to visit them. My brother is in the military so if something were to happen he couldn’t just easily come home and I would be halfway across the country. Idk I feel so stuck and I know if I tell my parents they will just try and talk me out of moving by telling me how much more expensive it is to live out there and etc.

I’m 25 and have lived in Northeast Ohio my whole life, and I’m thinking about leaving. I’m single, no kids, and not many friends so I don’t really feel the need to stay here any longer.

I’m a very introverted person so not really big into going to bars or nightlife type stuff, but I would like to find somewhere that has lots of good food options. I also want to get more into hiking and running so anywhere with lots of good trails and scenery would be great too.

The only area of the US that I think would be off the table for me is anywhere in the south. I just can’t deal with the extreme humid weather.

I started topical min foam about 5 years ago and after about 2 years decided that I wanted to switch to oral 2.5mg daily because I absolutely hate applying the topical it’s so annoying. However I was really scared of quitting the topical for some reason so I’ve just been using both for like the past 3 years.

Like I said before I hate applying the topical and I want to get a cat and the topical is very toxic to them. I’m thinking of just quitting the topical all together and only sticking with oral 2.5mg. Do you think that would be enough to keep any hair that is dependent on min?

My apartment only has a ptac unit in the living room but no ac unit in both bedrooms. I was thinking about getting a portable AC for my bedroom that I sleep in at night. Unfortunately the windows in my bedroom slide horizontally so I don’t think a window unit would work. I’ve been researching the a little bit and it seems like anything dual hose is the best. They are quite pricey though and part of me hates to spend $500+ on a unit I might only use for summer. But at the same time if they’re worth it then I think it would be worth the investment. So far the one that looks the nicest to me are the Gasbye dual hose models.

Just got a prescription for 0.5mg dut. Been on fin 1mg daily for a little over 5 years now. Most doctors say to just switch and stop taking fin. Would this be okay?
