Hey r/urbancarliving,

I have an idea, and I want to know if anyone else has done this before.

Obviously, you're not allowed to live in a storage unit, but are you allowed to at least use it as a living room during the morning + afternoon, and sleep in your car?

That way, you're technically not living in it 24/7. Idk.

Hey r/usajobs,

I got an email saying that I have to take an assessment and it's due by the 21st at 11:59 PM.

I saw that there are some practice assessments online. Has anyone tried them out? If so, are they any good?

Does anyone have screenshots of folk downplaying the 2025 election on this sub and elsewhere?

I think it's safe to say that the "She just wants common sense gun reform", "Just call your senators and everything will be okay", and the "Spanberger is a moderate" people were wrong.

I'm looking for some comedic relief before the Democrat hurricane guts our 2A rights in July.

I'm able to search for jobs and click the apply button, but after I do that, I get an error like

"We are not able to display the page requested at this time.

Please try refreshing the page. If you continue to receive the error, please provide your
Agency's USA Staffing Office Administrator with the steps taken before the message was

Edit: It's working now. I just had to switch browsers. I switched from Chrome to Edge.

I want to start a HYSA, but I'm just overwhelmed with options because it seems like what the "best" one is changes every month, and there doesn't seem to be a tried and true option.

It's also anxiety inducing to see the highest APYs coming from companies that I've never heard of before, and can't find people talking about them online.

I see that we have a megathread, but it looks like everyone is saying different things there, which is not helpful.

How do you pick an HYSA without being gyped on APY, while also not sending your savings to a scammer?

If a less expensive lifestyle and an expensive lifestyle activate the same basic reward chemicals in your brain, then the expensive lifestyle is not giving you a different kind of happiness.

A less expensive lifestyle and an expensive lifestyle activate the same basic reward chemicals like dopamine. A free jog around your neighborhood and an expensive international vacation are obviously different experiences, but the same happiness still comes from the same brain. The expensive version is not creating some new biological category of pleasure. It is still dopamine or whatever other "happy" chemical reaction your brain is giving you.

So an expensive lifestyle does not provide a different kind of happiness. It just gives you a more expensive way to trigger the same basic thing.

A less expensive lifestyle also creates less financial anxiety and regret than an expensive lifestyle. A cheaper car, cheaper food, cheaper hobbies, a smaller place, or a simpler routine usually means fewer payments, less debt, and fewer moments where you wonder whether something was actually worth the money.

So a less expensive lifestyle gives you the same basic biological happiness while creating less financial anxiety and regret.

And if one lifestyle gives you the same basic biological happiness while creating less financial anxiety and regret, then that lifestyle makes you happier overall.

That's why I think that a less expensive lifestyle makes you happier than an expensive lifestyle. Most people are not buying more happiness when they chase expensive living. They are paying extra for the same brain chemicals, plus more stress.
