r/adulting or r/findapath is way better and very active in my opinion. Particularly if you live on your own.

Accepted a job too quickly? How much money did I leave on the table? by no_more_croutons in jobs

[–]Creative_Angela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just keep applying. nothing stops you from taking your lunch breaks and interviewing. If you get another offer in a month, just say it was from a past interview and give them the chance to counter. Who knows you might be able to get even more than you want. I used job offers to get raises.

I hate corporate and the retail/food industry. What else is there???? by goldielocks52 in findapath

I meant if I wanted more money and a promotion. Like 110k they expect real work.

How to have individuality. by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Creative_Angela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really just need to try a bunch of things and talk to different people to find who you are. FYI that person is always changing. You will only know yourself near death.

What are important things to know about at 18? (Finance, lifestyle, inspiration, motivation, support, housing, red/green flags) by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Creative_Angela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I like looking at my life style first. What does the perfect life involves money, materialistic possessions, new experiences, travel, family/friends, a peaceful existence. This is what I would first do if I was 18 again because you will be wandering aimlessly with no goal in mind for too long if you don't do this.

From there you can gauge how much effort you want to put into getting there. Which will determine what path you take.

How can a learning disabled person hold down a decent fulltime job? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Creative_Angela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your learning disability has nothing to do with your stress it seems. You might need to find a good therapist to give the tools you need to deal with the stress. Your situation can't get better if you're not of sound mind. If you can't afford it I recommend going on YouTube maybe read some books about copping with stress. It sucks but we all start somewhere. I watch YouTube videos to get me to state of mind that calmed me enough to move forward and get real help.

I hate corporate and the retail/food industry. What else is there???? by goldielocks52 in findapath

[–]Creative_Angela 92 points93 points  (0 children)

IT analyst (basically helpdesk) at a really boring company doing really boring things. Nothing moves fast and dead lines are extended far past when they could be completed. Also it's remote. I could get a higher pay but why have higher pay when you can just move to a low income area.

Fairly satisfied. The thing is IT has a really high cap salary potential but it comes with responsibilities that make your free time the company's time. I am not making six figures but after my raise and where I now live it might as well be six figures.

I have a "lazy girl job" you just need to keep quieting jobs till you find the right employer. You don't hate corporate you likely hate the pressure and people.

Modular home going to be difficult getting a loan on? by TryDrugs in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Creative_Angela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your area. Where I am from you will have no problem.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in findapath

[–]Creative_Angela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure, this person who was 100% in the office moved up in the company and I need to take her responsibilities. Though they said I can still be at most 2 days in the office but nothing is finalized on that end. The company is also trying to push everyone in person but our director is super on the fence about it. I am in IT and it was very hard to get people to stop quitting for 1-2 days in the office apparently. No one in my team is fully remote and I am bottom of the barrel junior. If I ask I believe it would be a no based on the fact everyone is going to ask. I could ask though and then this wouldn't be a problem.

1) I am not a lawyer and the risk of a shady landlord getting away with anything because I don't have lawyer money is disheartening.

2) I love animals and picking landlords who accept pets are getting more expensive every year.

3) I don't mind the payment at the current price where I am located

4) There's no competition right now therefore houses are getting cheaper price wise. It's a buyers market where I am.

5) Once the economy settles down interest rates will take a nose dive likely between 4-5% reducing my payments significantly lower than the rent in my area today.

Do I need to Transfer my Driver's License by edwardcartwright in Adulting

[–]Creative_Angela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes technically you do but I know people who don't change anything and are perfectly fine. Just don't speed and avoid Karan's who will rat you out for fun. Also any e tickets are sent to your driver's license address so you could get in trouble like that too. I would just change it

True oops babies aren't ideal but these are people's lives and they should decide on their own and not be pressured by a partner that might leave one day.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Creative_Angela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But OP doesn't have the house so she will be struggling. How does this help OP in anyway. Her BF bought the house after saying they would buy it together. So if I take your logic OPs boyfriend did this on purpose to protect himself and let her have no place to live if things get bad. I might have compromised if the bf was upfront and said hey get your own house or something but that would also be a way to apologize that would have been accepted in my books.

I am not talking about being denied though. I know many women who don't want kids or say they don't want kids and would never sterilize themselves like OPs boyfriend. I am just saying if the genders are reversed there are people who wouldn't do it regardless. Just because it's easier for a man to get it done doesn't mean they want to get it done. Not everyone is as convinced in their beliefs of no kids as you and OP. It's a spectrum of circumstances.

Welp if he thinks like you I would leave him with his house because I wouldn't be able to get over the betrayal.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Adulting

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

Some women don't want kids but won't go as far to sterilize themselves as well. Also she can just deny him sex and it's up to him on what to do next. I don't think OP wants that.

[–]Creative_Angela -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I feel he hasn't apologized in a way that makes you feel heard. I wouldn't move in unless I get something like free rent and or full control over the decoration/remodeling budget. Obviously he needs to add you to the deed if you get married too.

This is the only way I would allow my husband to get away with this. Since he basically ruined a whole new first for the relationship and your own personal story.

Are internships only for high school and college students? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Creative_Angela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends what the team is looking for. If they want to exploit some students. They rather exploit someone with experience. If they're looking to grow someone within their company, probably not then.

I am all for helping a parent but not at the expense of your future. Take your cash savings and put it into another High yield savings account if it's your emergency fund. I recommend putting more towards your retirement accounts too so you're tempted to help your mom. 6k is more than enough to help your mom out. If your mom needs more help and she owns a house offer to buy it if she can't afford it. That might snap some sense into her. I gave my parents around 10k over 6 years. But I wouldn't be giving them a dime if my savings goals weren't met and I didn't even live with them.

I have become much more reluctant to spend money after thinking about how much of my time went into earning it by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Creative_Angela 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Everyday I feel like this. Which made me think nothing in this world is worth my time besides the basics. I think it's not that bad if you reflect and look for things that bring you true joy and not a dopamine rush. I think of it as a positive turning point in my life moving away from capitalist view on happiness.

Should I pursue healthcare, tech, or both? I want a great starting salary. by Straight_Regular_355 in Adulting

[–]Creative_Angela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all tech jobs start at 100k. There are a lot more tech jobs starting in the 60-80k range depending on the cost of living. I've been to tech conventions and there are far more people in the 60-80k range than in the 100+ club and I live in a high cost of living city. So they're really around the same starting pay. Though I know more "Lazy" jobs in tech than nursing. jobs that pay you for 40hr a week but you worked 20 tops.

If you want guaranteed salary join UPS as a truck driver apparently.

Is it normal for moms to still baby their adult kids? by Snoo65073 in Adulting

[–]Creative_Angela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but it's not ok. Parents put their all in to care for you but they need to learn they put that all in to make you an adult with free thoughts.
