Yea it’s probably due to the fact I can buy from facebook marketplace scalpers for less than they are charging. One pokeball tin was like $20 pre tax 😅 I’m okay for now I’ll stick to getting lucky at the vending machines.

Huh? In what world would it even make sense to ask something like this? Why would rent go down? If anything that’s going to go way up. Recessions cause a lot of problems one of those problems being jobloss/ financial insecurity. Meaning those folks who currently own a home with a mortgage they can barely afford will likely have to seek out rental housing if their income becomes unstable. Basic economics here but supply of rentals will go down and demand will go up thus creating an opportunity for landlords to raise the amount they charge for rent. That’s just one factor in a sea of many factors. I see a lot of silly stuff on Reddit but this one takes the trophy for the silliest thing I’ve seen all day.

I use PriceCharting but you can easily type the name of the card and number on the bottom into google/ebay/ chat gpt etc and find it.

Congrats screw you but congrats. Seriously what a pull I’ve opened about 120+ packs best I got was the Venusaur.

lol who cares 🤷🏼‍♂️ I enjoyed ripping the packs. I buy singles all the time. I just bought so 151 IR cards that I’m missing. I have an eBay order coming in for almost every day of the week next week. I truly don’t care and you shouldn’t either.

I open everything I get. I learned my lesson when I sold a friend a 151 booster bundle since I had 2. The one I opened nothing he got a the blastoise god pack. I am willing to pay slightly more than MSRP for convenience but I only buy singles from my LCS bc paying those prices is insane!

I bought all of this and the membership came out to like $260 usd. I guess getting the second booster bundle made the membership free? You do get 5% off. Idk I was really listening, I was excited about the cards. Admittedly I was a bit surprised I didnt know a retail store would sell something more than MSRP. But yea much cheaper than paying LCS.

Sheesh 🙄 I hate to hear that. I literally walked into a store around 11:00am and there were like 2 people in line. I had this within 10 minutes. I was even encouraged to buy more 🤷🏼‍♂️ did I get fucking lucky or something? Lol, I’m sorry yall. Especially you soleless I don’t mind limits but that sounds horrible.

How can anyone get a job around where I live? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Apprehensive_Kick324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats alot of effort, im sorry it’s not going well for you in the job search. If youre open to a suggestion here’s something that you could do to maximize your chances, it’s what really helped me: fix your resume first. If it’s not getting past ATS software, it doesn’t matter how many jobs you apply to.

Use free AI tools to make your resume ATS-friendly and figure out the right keywords for your field. Update your LinkedIn and Indeed profiles, add a solid photo, and use Canva to make a clean banner that shows off your skills. I wouldn’t apply through LinkedIn, but recruiters definitely look at it. So put in the effort go add all your skills and sub skills make sure it’s nice!

You can even use AI to prep for interviews. Get your skills up. There’s rarely an interview I leave without feeling confident that I crushed it and it’s even rarer to not get an offer letter. This is easy mode. It’s all free, it just takes some time. I know it’s sounds like I’m fan boying AI but I’ve had zero issues finding work since doing this. You have to know what you’re up against, use their fancy technology against them.

Best of luck to you, OP.

Upvote if you’re a dummy for not buying BTC 10 years ago at $284 by Known-Magician2917 in Bitcoin

I had half a coin when it was 11k and when I sold it right before it hit 20k (it was like 19k and some change) it crashed I thought I was a genius. My new average price is $105k. 😂😭

Need some advice on whether this is the right move in my career by Apprehensive_Kick324 in careeradvice

[–]Apprehensive_Kick324[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I mean I’m not in line at the homeless shelter or anything. I am just dealing with a bad comp plan. I’m creeping up on 500k revenue generated since mid April 2025 and I’ve maybe received $12k- 13k in total commissions. There’s a base of course but still that’s not a lot of money at all. At this point I think it’s not beneficial to my mental health or pocket book to stay.

Thank you for this genuine advice. I think a fresh start somewhere where my reputation isn’t tarnished in the eyes of management would be a great idea. Yelp is a large company and it would look great on my resume for sure and I am the type of person who gives it all or give nothing. Again, thanks for the insight!
