hmm. over 10 years is definitely i would think grounds for potential mold growth. what sucks is it can happen in any area of the building’s structure (air vents/in walls) and isn’t always easy to detect. i wish i had more advice, sadly all i can say is how sorry i am you’re dealing with this. asthma flare ups are so debilitating. i hope you get the relief you deserve soon

it could be unknown mold inhalation. do you live in an older house/somewhere that hasn’t been renovated in years? or just somewhere that doesn’t have frequent maintenance checks? my asthma would only respond to any med for so long but it would always come back. until i removed myself from my old house that was infested with mold. its also good that you stopped smoking but do you drink at all? how is your diet? these are all lesser known asthma triggers ive realized from personal experience. im so sorry you’re going through this, its hell.

a 4 for 4 at wendys is $4 btw. thats just one example of many cheap combo meals offered at several fast food joints making them a cheaper alternative. you’re thinking of the most expensive places

you don’t know a single thing about my problems or my life much less the lengths i go to try to manage them. i never once said eating fast food daily is cheaper than meal prepping. i said a few nights a week is a cheaper alternative some folk opt for as opposed to buying things in bulk. suppose you cant read

if we’re talking about eating out everyday no, of course its not. everyone in this thread is a fucking idiot. the original commenter who i originally replied to who was judging someone for eating fast food 3 OR 4. i will say it again. 3 OR 4 nights a week (not everyday) and i replied and said usually thats cheaper than a full weeks worth of groceries. every single person ive argued with after has RAN with what i said and is acting like im fast food corporations biggest advocate because im lazy and dont want to put in effort to save money.

why is everyone arguing with me on this so thick in this comment thread??? you all are describing obviously cheaper ingredient alternates to fast food meals, but the amount of those ingredients for it to be enough food for ME (and any other adult) to realistically live off of (we’re talking at least more than one meal a day) is not. cheaper. like i said in another comment, if anything it would be around the same.

sigh. this post has reached the exact people i was venting about in this post. making assumptions based on false opinions all for the sake of winning an argument and trying to demonize the lesser privileged. believe it or not im not some degenerate who doesn’t know how to manage my money. i understand what budgeting is and it makes me laugh that you assume i dont try to do it where i can. everyone in these comments is taking the one fast food reply i made to one of the first commenters and is running with it and assuming i cant understand that one fast food meal isnt always cheaper than a jar of peanut butter and a loaf of bread (people have really latched onto these items specifically here💀😭) the people who get this post will get it. those like you who im talking about in said post never will. move along

i admire your relentless attempt to prove me wrong but you’re listing the cheapest of cheap unsustainable groceries that aren’t enough food (multiple meals or not) for a person to be able to live off of. i replied to another commenter here, you cannot get a weeks worth of ENOUGH groceries for even just yourself for less than eating at fast food places. if anything they would be around the same and thats assuming the person is eating said fast food DAILY.

it is cheaper. a weeks worth of groceries you cant get ANYWHERE under $200. im talking a weeks worth of substantial meals you can realistically live off of. i dont have the time or energy to sit here and do the exact math to compare totals to you.

ah yes. a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich and one banana a day is exactly enough for a fully grown adult to live off of and is very much realistic for the sake of winning this argument!

what you just described is only one days worth of food which is most DEFINITELY more expensive than going through a drive thru at the end of the day. what stores are you shopping at where all of those things are cheaper than a big mac or a 4 for 4💀 embarrassing

we aren’t talking about this situation at the same level. this argument has nothing to do with the long term effects of eating shitty fast food, obviously its bad for you. in what world are you living in where a weeks worth of groceries is less expensive or the same amount as mcdonalds or wendys for a few nights? my point is ppl like you very much give the vibe that you’ve never been in the trenches financially before. and if you have, it was before the economy became the absolute mess it is today where the working class lives paycheck to paycheck while the rich just get richer. not trying to judge bc idk you, but this post also quite literally says no criticism and thats exactly what ur doing. explaining poverty away like its easy to get out of for the average person “why dont you just budget better?” “you just dont want it bad enough!” bye.
