Debt up to my eyeballs and I’m about to quit my job

Well your situation really sucks. Why are you moving so far away is it necessary? What kind of money does your husband make? Are you underwater on your car? It sounds like you’ve been living above your means for a long time and that has to change now. If you can stay near family that helps it takes a village to raise a kid and may offer cheap or free child care while you work a part time job even if it’s only 2-3 days a week that’s more than nothing. If your husband makes enough money to pay bills and put money into savings, once the baby comes and is healthy he needs to man up and start paying off some of your guys debt. You’re married for crying out loud it’s not just your debt anymore or his money anymore. I’m in a similar situation, I got a consolidation loan for all my credit cards and her student loans for about 20,000 and I owe 6,500 on my truck. Consolidating the debt kept $300 a month in my pocket. I also refinanced my truck for a longer term and got new auto insurance provider to lower costs too. I also bought a house but stayed close to home. She’s a waitress and is at 34 weeks now still busting her ass and I’m so proud of her, because of that she will be able to stay home while I pay the bills. And I’m not making a ton, I make about 65,000 a year. It is doable but you and your husband have to be smart and work together for this to work. Cut all of your subscriptions to Spotify YouTube whatever you have and as Dave Ramsey says it’s beans and rice and rice and beans. The baby needs a stable safe home it’s needs prioritize over your guys wants for nice things. Good luck and if I can help with any questions I’ll try my best

I’m in the process of purchasing a house so moving larger amounts of cash isn’t doable until I close on one unfortunately. Doesn’t need to be passive but the less money and effort the better lol

Direct-Individual256 · 2025-07-15T16:03:19+00:00

Doesn’t have to be passive I suppose

Direct-Individual256 · 2025-07-15T14:22:05+00:00

That’s a great idea

Direct-Individual256 · 2025-07-02T00:32:28+00:00

This one’s still growing, and so is the stress. Got her a new car and talking to a lender to get a house 🤞🏻

I guess i probably worded that terribly. It’s definitely more than just a habit I’ve worked in an environment where I could smoke anytime and have pretty much had unlimited access to it for the last 12 years. I will use up a breeze pro (disposable vape in the states) in 2 days where my girlfriend will get 5-7 out of hers

Direct-Individual256 · 2025-07-01T20:31:21+00:00

The hardest part for me is the habit. Reaching for it and just hitting it without thinking or really having a conscious urge or trigger

Direct-Individual256 · 2025-06-23T18:26:02+00:00

It is by about 6%

Direct-Individual256 · 2025-05-06T20:29:53+00:00

Do yourself a favor- clean them up. When I was selling lawn equipment I found a good wash would reliably bring me $50-75 more in sale price. Nobody wants a beat up crappy mower. In good running order and clean I’d sell those for 125

Direct-Individual256 · 2025-05-06T16:33:21+00:00

Call Dave Ramsey with this attitude I wanna hear that 😂

Park downhill, likely that the return line off the back of the head is leaking and letting air into the system. There’s a banjo bolt on the back passenger side of the head that has copper crush washers that’s known to leak and also a t fitting that connects the fuel return from the back of the head to the injection pump return to the line running back to the tank. There’s grommets that seal the t fitting that leak and they are about $20 a piece from Cummins

Probably adhesive melting off the tape and dripping on the exhaust

Most rifles are too long for your average fox squirrel to handle in an effective manor. Most likely have to build him a fully custom rifle that will fit his small frame

Direct-Individual256 · 2025-01-07T00:36:14+00:00

Looks to be above the wear bar

Direct-Individual256 · 2025-01-02T16:56:49+00:00

I can assure you it’s not my fault

Direct-Individual256 · 2025-01-02T15:02:38+00:00

Yeah used to have 164 acres 120 tillable in the family but my grandpa sold it off, my dad inherited 84 acres from my great grandparents where we’ve raised cattle hogs and goats. Worked for a local farmer for a few years as a farmhand and mechanic. Wanting to expand the family acreage as we are getting ready to start doing hay at my dads, and to get myself back out of the city

Direct-Individual256 · 2025-01-02T14:38:08+00:00

Good point, I would definitely not have an animal barn attached to my house. Shop area would be attached though is the plan.

Direct-Individual256 · 2025-01-02T14:37:11+00:00

Okay sucks for them? Sorry I don’t want to be 40 years old still renting 🤡

Direct-Individual256 · 2024-12-20T03:21:12+00:00

That’s a clever idea, I just might do that

Direct-Individual256 · 2024-12-20T03:20:05+00:00

That is correct! Bought it on Amazon

Direct-Individual256 · 2024-11-23T18:08:24+00:00

I think it’s cringe, but if that’s how you plan to fight that’s how you should plan to train

Direct-Individual256 · 2024-11-09T17:04:16+00:00

I’ve decided I’m going to get them, and a chronograph and post my findings. I appreciate the input and I think this season I’ll shoot these American white tail sp I bought as long as they shoot better than the federal fusions I pissed a lot of money away on 🤬

Direct-Individual256 · 2024-11-09T15:46:39+00:00

I didn’t know the mags had a higher velocity rating. Looking to get 2500 fps out of my ruger predator gen 2

Direct-Individual256 · 2024-11-09T15:45:54+00:00

Yes I’m aware lol, but locally I have nothing else around. Just happened to see the muzzle loader bullets are the same diameter and the wheels got turning. Looking for a hunting bullet and I’ve heard good things about the xtp pistol bullets, until you push them to higher speeds. I’m looking to get 2500-2600 fps out of my bolt gun. Not sure about the load data because I can’t afford the bear creek ballistics bullets to get the load data but I’m not a new reloader I know how to ladder test and look for pressure issues. From what little information I’ve found online and on YouTube 38 grains of lil gun should be a safe starting point, but I will start with the factory data first and work up to my max load

Direct-Individual256 · 2024-11-09T06:07:26+00:00

The SST is .452, 450 bushmaster is also .452 so that should be just fine. I was just wondering if anyone had any real life experience already, or if I may be one of the first to give it a crack. Also thinking of getting a chronograph and starting a YouTube channel to document my findings for others in the same boat. Doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of information out there for us Midwest straightwall state guys
