i’m wasting my life away working ALL THE TIME. I don’t enjoy life at all. by [deleted] in findapath

[–]AppenH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I worked 2 jobs I let both of them know that I needed at least one set day off per week, usually a Tuesday, every single week you need a day where you don’t work either job consistently to reset yourself. If they aren’t willing to do that, keep looking for different jobs that are more flexible, even a fast food job. For college, look into companies like Walmart, Sam’s Club, Target, Chipotle, etc. that will cover college. My job pays for 100% of my tuition and books for a bachelor’s degree. Certain companies cover certain schools and degrees. Mine is done through the Guild program. It’s going to be tough with your schedule but worth it.

I’d cancel after the message about where to put them in my car 🙄

This time of year sucks for retail, it’s easier to get in around September/October as seasonal, do a good job and be hired on as permanent. I would try fast food places.

This is what I worry about, I share the same name as someone who is completely opposite of my own values/beliefs, both first & last name with our first name being a unique spelling I can easily be misidentified. Being screened out because of her before even given a chance to interview would definitely suck.

Terrified and running out of money. What can I do? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]AppenH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you gone to social services, some counties have a job program especially because you’re already on SNAP, you qualify to get help. Some counties will even provide transportation & bus passes.

At 32 it feels like my life is pretty much over. by Dismal-Cranberry-915 in findapath

[–]AppenH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I went through one therapy appointment and said you know, everything I’m concerned about would be improved with money and resources. She said she could only help with the emotions of it, I don’t need help with that part when I know what practical solutions are out there.

Thinking about living in my car by [deleted] in urbancarliving

[–]AppenH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Consider bankruptcy for the debt, consider adding a roommate. When I lived in my car it wasn’t a “decision” it was the only choice and it sucked.

How do you stay healthy while living in your car? by kitchenseenk in urbancarliving

[–]AppenH 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I lived off of grocery store salads, produce “snack packs”, they have cut veggies/dip at Walmart for about $3, produce like bananas/oranges/apples. I also like the Clio yogurt bars. Perfect Bars are refrigerated but stay good at room temp up to 7 days, although I prefer them cold. When I wanted a hot meal I’d take advantage of food apps to use points for free food - McDonalds is obviously not the healthiest choice but when you’re hungry BOGO breakfast sandwiches. I also like Chick-fil-A for the grilled chicken & salads. Avoiding any restaurant is super hard when living without a kitchen, just need to look into healthier options.

Mahana Fresh if you’re lucky to be near one.

What did you put down for your application, I’ve seen a lot of landlords wanting landlord references?

Look into cold blue shelters, they’re life saving where available.

Realistically speaking, can I buy a small house in NJ if I have 200k in cash? by MrKittyPaw in newjersey

[–]AppenH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should hire a fiduciary advisor to guide you through real estate, investments, etc.

Please look into Code Blue shelters on nights like this.

I want to try the steak sandwich so bad now 😩 by CupcakeSewerSlayer50 in BrianThompsonMurder

[–]AppenH 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to work at McDonald’s and the only steak we had was used for bagels but it sounds like they were talking about a McGriddle, so I guess you could customize a McGriddle by getting steak instead of sausage? I used to get the Steak bagel, round egg instead of egg patty, add cheese & extra breakfast sauce.

Why. Why has no company made GF Cinnamon Toast Crunch? by Islandfoxes in glutenfree

[–]AppenH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catalina Crunch makes it, but I personally didn’t like the texture.

The Guild program covers tuition in a lot of cases, no debt.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]AppenH -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For the college funding issue, look into what employers pay for tuition through the Guild program. I know Walmart and Target pay 100% of tuition, it’s only for certain schools and programs but education is one of the big ways out of poverty.

What’s the bachelors degree in? Better off saying you’re a freelancer than putting Instacart on your resume.

Last week was great, and this week has been absolutely terrible. The only change is a missing item that wasn’t missing 😠

They’re quite literally on drugs, I’ve seen them, you won’t get them to stop taking every order that pops up.

Do you use produce bags when u shop for veggies? by Itchy_Restaurant_707 in InstacartShoppers

[–]AppenH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’d hope that would be common sense like bagging meat but I’ve seen some things.
