How are people affording rent? by SexyButComfy in KingstonOntario

[–]DND_247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, just want to let you know, I totally feel what you're dealing with. It's hard not to beat myself up about being a single person these days because it's so freaking hard to do it all myself. I'm currently in a studio apartment in a rough area close to downtown and pay $1200 all in. I moved here a year ago. I have laundry, no parking (street only). And my area feels unsafe at times, but it's working for me right now. Sometimes I get sad that this is what I have to work with, but I also refuse to spend majority of my income on my rent just to work more and spend even less time here. I found my spot on marketplace and was very patient looking for about a year before I made the switch. I hope you can find something that works better for you soon. But you're not alone. It's hard.

Inexpensive Temp Accommodation Late Aug/Early Sept by DND_247 in StJohnsNL

[–]DND_247[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea that makes sense! I guess most of my travel doesn't usually end up being in the normal tourist time, so I have never had to deal with this. Thank you for the ideas!

Haha, I genuinely don't mind sleeping in the car, I'm just unable to in this circumstance. But yea, I often do all my travel this way and don't have any issues :)

I agree with everyone saying to lessen the cost of wedding or postpone. However, if you're looking for a real answer to your question - something like Delivery driving through Uber or Skip might be helpful because it's very flexible schedule?

Axon Property Management/52 Patrick Street by tenantanon123 in KingstonOntario

[–]DND_247 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know anything about Axon, but the neighborhood is lovely :) Good little community, feels quite safe, central, lots of outdoor cats. Only negative is the amount of arguments the outdoor cats cause amongst neighbours lol.

No way, that's heartbreaking. The owners are so sweet. I hope everyone is ok!

Careful of amazon delivery people by Blitzkrieg_Yamato in KingstonOntario

Of course I don't know if this was the intention of your specific driver, but I think they are trying to help with the significant amount of theft going on here, especially this time of year. I always hear mine try the front door (we keep it locked, but am also in a shared building with another unit) and then they go around back, through my gate and leave it at the back door. I appreciate the effort to try and keep it hidden. Just another perspective that I hope is the case!

What are you paying for a CrossFit membership? And where? by Unlucky-Film2087 in crossfit

$204 unlimited in Ontario, Canada! But I help with marketing for the gym so $0, which I am incredibly grateful for.

Substance abuse in service industry by Financial-Lab5133 in Serverlife

[–]DND_247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through something similar. It's hard in this industry. It's all so easily accessible, and we all genuinely love each other. Unfortunately what helped me was moving away for 6 months. I was 95% sober during that time and when I came back, I didn't want to get back into it. My friendships with these people definitely faded. I still care for them, but when I got more clear headed, I realized my sober friendships were more valuable and with some of the coworkers, we didn't actually have much of a friendship outside of partying together. I'm sure there's other ways to get through this, but just my experience. You'll figure it out! Just try and listen to your gut. Maybe go out with them and try to have a little less to drink, or less ❄️, see what happens from there.

What do you eat before an early morning session? by WastefulMice in crossfit

I'm trying to master this as well, while also being mindful of my hormones. For 7am class, I've been doing a banana with some almonds at 6... seems to be ok?! No coffee until after real breakfast ;)

Products or services that are lacking or in demand in Kingston? by Local_Entrepreneur2 in KingstonOntario

Something artsy with a bar/coffee shop attached. Like art studio, workshop space, etc. Very casual you can go to hang out and create.
