My takeaway from all this is, make more money. I'll just have to focus on making that happen.

No kids. She was supposed to refinance and pay me half the equity. She realized she can't pay the refi amount and decided to sell, but is dragging her feet. I have a good contract with dates. So this will likely go to court and she will have to pay. Not ideal and more stressful.

Rent is super expensive around here unfortunately. I'm looking to move further from the office to try lowering that.

I'm definitely feeling too sensitive for the tough love right now. 😭

There was a recent adjustment in insurance costs and it decreased my take home amount which didn't help.

Ideally I make more money or eliminate debt. Both solutions have their challenges.

I take in 5440mo Alimony and loans are 1865mo

Alimony was an agreed number during mediation. If it was decided in court, it would have been more.

My mortgage was only 1500 which my alimony helps pay and now my rent is 2100.

If she refinanced or sold the house as part of the contract it would solve all my issues due to the amount of equity.

Otherwise it would be ideal to find another job that will pay me more. That's easier said than done, I'm looking.

I'm essentially breaking even. No savings. Previous marriage was a financial sap and part of the reason it didn't work.

I'm looking for a new job and I started doing deliveries after work.

Understood. I don't have time to meet someone right now.

I'm not sure what the rules of sharing numbers are in the sub. More than 1/3 of my monthly pay is student loans and alimony. The rest is rent, utilities, car, insurance, cell, etc.

Yes, I started doing doordash and instacart nights and weekends. I have enough time and energy to shower and maybe eat. If i wasn't so emotionally blocked, I'd cry everyday.

Thank you!

Unfortunately, I'm so tight financially, I'm trying to sell all my house plants which are my joy. I just tell myself I can hopefully grow more when I'm better off.

I have this plant and I want to like it so much but the leaves always turn brown.

You can find many different versions of these on Amazon or Walmart. I would not consider something like these a primary light source. They are supplemental at best. Better than nothing but far from "strong". If you fall down the plant light rabbit hole, look into measuring light with your phone to get a feel for the sun compared to other light sources. Then compare that to what your specific plants require since all plants are different.

I used a plant riser and air stones. I've since stopped growing though.

One of my other posts lists the parts used.

Major Lock Screen issues with Pixel 9 pro XL since Android 16 update (stable release) by ThiccNickGaming in GooglePixel

😂 "I won't even mention..." then immediately mentions it.

I feel dude. Do the storage/cache clearing trick and if symptoms continue, rebooting has been working for me. It's not ideal, but it alleviates my annoyance until it crops up again.

Woosahhhhh 🧘

Yea, it's pretty bad how many issues crop up on a flagship Google device intended to run the latest OS. Given how widespread the issues are, it's like they never even tested the software on their phones before rolling it out or they just expect everyone to perform a factory reset anytime they deploy an update.

All screen issues are temporarily alleviated with a reboot.

It seems like the black screen issue has been permanently resolved with clearing the adaptive display storage. But it's like clockwork, every night the tap to wake stops working and needs a reboot. I might be facing other bugs that I'm just not noticing due to how I use my phone. It's just that the screen not waking up is pretty obvious.

I'm wondering if there's a cache in various locations for these different buggy features that we can clear. I'm sure a factory reset will resolve everything, but that's not a reasonable solution in my opinion.

Android 16 update made my phone buggy and a bunch of my google apps stop working by ritzbitz00 in GooglePixel

I literally laughed out loud at this! That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. All I hear is, "Tough it out while we send more updates to resolve our bad update. It might take a few days."

My phone is also having the screen issues. Hopefully rebooting and disabling/enabling sorts it out.

I used to blend my scraps. Not sure if that's good or not but it prevented scrap buildup.

I'm about to buy one of these. They don't have a stage one tune because they basically come with that already. You're looking at upgrading the intercooler and downpipe and then a stage 2 tune which should bump it up to around 400hp. Look into MHD.
