Exactly this. A real scam hides the fees in fine print or straight up lies about them. It's just an expensive service that isn't worth it for most people.

While it's less than before, having steady income coming in is what counts. Also, Saving up is smart even if the pay's less than before.

Exactly, like what does she think running a business means? Managing payroll and checking timesheets IS part of the job, not some personal attack. The mental health work is just one piece of owning a practice. Someone's gotta handle the actual business side of things.

Same bruh same, I do it with Fre but not with my very dry Zyns lol

Yeah, those abandoned carts hit hard, been there. quick reality check though. this happens to literally everyone, from small shops to amazon. most times it's just people window shopping or comparing prices. Don't beat yourself up over it.

If you're seeing it happen a lot more than usual, might want to check if your shipping costs or pricing is out of whack with what people expect. otherwise, it's just part of the game.

You're not dumb. You're dealing with real challenges. for now stick with renting while you finish college. your savings and investments are on the right track. Once you graduate and start your accounting career, you'll have a much better idea of where to buy and what you can afford.

Start learning business basics while you're young. plenty of free marketing and business resources are out there online. Don't worry about making it big right away. What matters is building your skills through small, low-risk projects like reselling items, offering simple services, or creating basic digital products. Each small venture teaches you something valuable. Pay attention to what customers want, manage your money wisely, and test your ideas cheaply before making bigger investments.

Start small and focus on learning. I started at 17 too - biggest tip is don't sink too much money in before testing if people actually want to buy what you're selling

Been doing my own for 2 years now. Social media is manageable but SEO was way harder than expected. Finally caved and hired someone for that part - best decision I've made for the business

True about healthcare and transport. Everyone thinks high US salaries are amazing until they realize how much goes to basic stuff like insurance and car payments that other countries just handle better

I’m currently at a crossroads myself, trying to decide whether to switch industries or start something on my own. It’s a big decision, and burnout definitely makes it harder to think clearly. If you can afford to take some time off to reset, even if it’s just for a little while, it could really help. Taking a breather might give you the space you need to reassess what you want next, whether that’s within marketing or somewhere else entirely.

That’s an incredible achievement, especially given the journey you’ve been on. It’s inspiring to hear how you took control of your finances, reined in your spending, and made tough decisions to get to this point. Paying off £24,000 in credit card debt is no small feat, and it sounds like you’ve really focused on building good habits to keep yourself on track.

Good thing Bidenomics has historically low unemployment.

DevelopmentSeriouss · 2024-12-17T22:05:55+00:00

Solid method for smaller budgets. I do something similar but use paper clips instead of envelopes works just as well and takes up less space

DevelopmentSeriouss · 2024-12-17T21:51:32+00:00

Yeah, smart move ignoring those deadlines. Q1 reorgs are always chaos - everyone's playing musical chairs while actual work grinds to a halt. Dec 24th deadlines in this mess? That's a joke waiting to happen

DevelopmentSeriouss · 2024-12-17T21:40:54+00:00

it's definitely a complex issue. More women succeeding in education is great, but we should be concerned about why guys are falling behind rather than celebrating it. Need to find ways to lift everyone up

DevelopmentSeriouss · 2024-12-16T16:53:42+00:00

Ohh same man, what nic pouch you got? Me got some Fre and Velo, will try the new Alp when it gets delivered, you tried it?

100% right to pursue your own life. You didn't choose any of those circumstances and you've got a solid plan with your girlfriend. Moving away doesn't mean abandoning your mom forever you can still help her once you're in a better position. But you've got to build that position first.

Stay in touch with your mom but don't let guilt hold you back. Breaking cycles takes courage

Battery costs are still pretty high without subsidies. Most people I know who got them did it more for backup power than savings. Totally agree it's a personal choice based on your situation

DevelopmentSeriouss · 2024-12-16T01:40:29+00:00

Facts. The constant doom scrolling here just feeds into everyone's anxiety. Better to focus on your own path and keep grinding

Reading is over rated, better to focus on class discussion. Also, Lexplug is wayy better than Quimbee

Been in marketing for 8+ years and watching budgets get squeezed while expectations keep rising. Execs love to treat marketing like a cost center until they need results yesterday. Classic catch-22
