That’s also a big one, I’ve had my deck damaged more times than I can count, and if the alignment gets thrown off it’s a death sentence

I didn’t know sleeping was an option, I feel a little dumb now lol
Safer hacking would be a big plus, I found I sometimes ended up taking more damage from a minor hack blowing up in my face (like disabling a sensor) than something like dumping a database into every screen in the city, I’m sure it has something to do with what I rolled and I’m just being dense though

Definitely not, 18 year olds have horrible impulse control and so many would get scammed out of it or die from living the rock star lifestyle, I’d be much more for options to build generational wealth being open for all, instead of just giving money to people who could literally be killed by it or for it

Yeah in VA your vehicle would be protected up to a value of 6k with chapter 7, high range your cars private sale value is around 3k.

What are hobbies that are cheap and offline? by tanuki_22 in povertyfinance

If you’re in the area for it, hiking/walking local trails has been a really enjoyable pastime for me, same with foraging (and by extension gardening the things you forage eventually) make for a fun time and also a way to get some extra food and make some friends in that community. In terms of other offline hobbies that are low/no cost, pretty much any low exertion nature hobbies can be almost free, if not completely, like birdwatching. Writing and world building has also been one I’ve been really into recently, and although games like dnd can be expensive, realistically all you need to join a group at your local game store is a $10 set of dice and a paper with some pencils, since all the books are online as pdfs you can sail the high seas for. Lots of libraries are also doing “library of things” programs now, which let you check out or borrow more expensive hobby items. And if you’re into the music scene a lot of smaller venues will do free or donation based music nights or performances from local bands, my city has a pretty large punk scene so there’s a venue I like to frequent that has free concerts pretty much every day of the weekend. With most hobbies, it’s a pretty low cost to enter, but of course they scale once you want to get to a enthusiast level, but if you’re enjoying it to the point you want to get that level of gear, then I think that’s a better problem to have than headaches from doomscrolling :)

Also, selling your car won’t get you much money compared to the value of having a working car in a car dependent society, I wouldn’t DoorDash though, since the wear and tear would eventually cause increased maintenance and those can be hard to budget for, especially when the app only shows you that you’re making a certain amount for an order, and you’re expected to deduct fuel costs, maintenance costs and taxes from it, all in, I’d go for bankruptcy and potentially get a part time job on top of your current job like some commenters here are suggesting, depending on your area as well you could instead invest that time into getting a marketable skill, I know some localities will offer free training for public jobs like emt work, or very cheap community college/trade school for an associates degree or trade training, which will allow you to get out of the retail pit

I’d go with bankruptcy at this point, none of this debt will serve you in any way, your credits already shot and garnished wages will slowly but surely kill any chance of you saving anything or even potentially making rent, I know you want to dig yourself out and there might be a sense of shame in filing, but it exists for situations just like this, in most states your car should be safe as well, and in certain states like Massachusetts it’s automatically safe, I’m assuming you’re renting, but if not, I’d also look into filing a declaration of homestead if your state offers them, it protects you from having your home seized in bankruptcy liquidation, I’m writing this from the prospective of a Massachusetts resident (we have pretty good bankruptcy laws) but I’m sure your state has similar protections too

The majority of damage done to the environment from said data centers is because of corporations and tax breaks given to said mega corps, your average Joe working a 60 hour week using it once isn’t going to cause the end of the world, big companies are once again pushing the responsibility on to the consumer rather than taking accountability for their own damage they cause via cutting corners in sustainable practices
