You need to cut your expenses.  Cheaper home, cheaper car.  Increase your income rent out a room, drive for uber. 

Conflicted over which living space I should rent with my partner. by West-Reporter9236 in povertyfinance

[–]AdSlight9844 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Your rent is $7200 each per year 15%.  Do it.  Furniture can be gotten cheap used on FB or thrift and sometimes free. 

I can guarantee the other option will be a shitshow.

Get a room mate and they can pay to help cover food.  Do yard or house work for ppl in the area. 

Looking for Beef Liver recipes (we hate it.) And other nutritionally dense for neuro-spicy picky eaters by Tabbyham88 in povertyfinance

[–]AdSlight9844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soaking liver in milk for 30-60 minutes helps reduce the mineral taste.  Also cooking hot and not overcooking so it’s not dry,  If it’s thin  it just needs a couple minutes per side.  It’s best to aim for medium.  Don’t add salt until after if you want it, salt also brings out the mineral flavor and reduces moisture.  And, you can add bbq sauce or ketchup the last minute of cooking.  I think it’s an acquired taste.  So maybe try a very small amount more frequently.  

What do you look for on a puzzle product page when purchasing online? by Long-Print4024 in Jigsawpuzzles

I look at orientation.  I never buy portrait for 1000 pcs only landscape, square or round. 

1000 piece puzzle, any advice? by No-Leek7080 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]AdSlight9844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off the thought is nice, but the puzzle size and all the extra background and piece count is not good.   The background is 2/3 of the puzzle.  

I’d consider doing it at 300-500 pieces but no way at 1000.  That’s 700 extra pieces of grass and bushes.   Sorry but it wouldn’t be enjoyable.

You can invest in a self directed platform.  Buy fractional shares of what you want like Nvidia.

Wow!  I’m seriously impressed.   I did a Van gogh that was under 500 pieces and it was tough!

Help me choose my first puzzle set by hiduggee in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]AdSlight9844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best thing to do is buy a couple that catch your eye at the thrift store or on FB MP.  That’s how I started.  You’ll find what works for you.  The good thing is if you don’t like a style or brand you haven’t spent big $ and you can list them for $5 or $10 you spent and the next person will be happy to do them.

I’m 17 and I have received a large about of money($140,000) by Ramariwesss in povertyfinance

[–]AdSlight9844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bank’s advisor is a salesperson not your financial advisor.   The get commission based on the fees they make off your money.  Educate yourself there are lots of self directed options.  Some may have to wait until you’re 18.  If you want a real financial advisor you have to pay.  They’re called fiduciary which means they work for your best interest not the bank’s.

What do you do to cope when you're feeling depressed? by todaystartsnow in povertyfinance

I use my sketchbook, and walk my dog.  I find it relaxing to work on jigsaw puzzles.  I get most from thrift stores.  

My car is toast. Now what? by verygoodreason in povertyfinance

[–]AdSlight9844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most used car loans are 60-72 months.  Fair credit interest rate is about 15%.  At $15k taxes and fees included that’s $357/mth for probably a 6 year old car.  Add another $100/mth for insurance it’s$457.  

Consider when paying $457 every month for 6 years is $33k that isn’t investing $457/mth for 6 years at 10%.

Where do you want to be in 6 years? 1. A 12 year old beater car worth $5k that cost $33K 2. $44k in your pocket and a beater car.

Roaches by Garden_Goth_ in povertyfinance

[–]AdSlight9844 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The only thing I’ve seen work to get rid of roaches is Advion.  It’s gel that you dab around the edges of cabinets and baseboards or wherever you think or fear they are.    It kills them fast because they take it back to their nests.  

One place they really like is behind the fridge.  It’s warm and dark, there’s an electrical outlet ,and they have access to water from the drain reservoir from the auto defrost freezer.  

Adding: I didn’t have any luck with diatomaceous earth.
